I heard from a reliable source that Kagerou fans beat up Otogi from Awoi 'cause he ripped off one of their songs. How do you get beaten up up five feet tall gya is beyond me but I guess that happened.

Some old school vk

I think I'm ISTP-T, made an online test time ago

夢国文弥 has joined the band as bassist, heres his twitter https://twitter.com/238_GO69?s=07

Had a dream in which coupling Noir Fleurir songs to passages from Eminem's Stan was the new big meme for some reason

Based on gya twitter, they currently don’t like western fans showing up in Ikebukuro and telling everyone they’re “half” when they’re 75% French Canadian, 25% Irish

What's the cheapest and reliable mercari proxy nowadays?

I love soulseek, it's a great network to find music not easy to to found on other sites

I have facebook, twitter, instagram and last.fm. I'm mostly on twitter tho

I'm usually on PS4, but also on PC

I think most of the gazette vs dir en grey was someone on each side being a troll, and a lot of the people involve (sadly myself included) at the time were very young and impressionable. I saw it mainly on deviantart of all places, and sometimes LJ but I wasn't as active on there. I don't hear anything about the supposed war anymore other than a few troll comments on videos, but /shrug.

Yeaaahhhh!!! According to tunecore... tomorrow will be avaliable on Spotify, Itunes, Deezer and others.

we all deal with our desire to control others' behavior differently, but idt skipping on lunch prevented anyone's fave from disbanding because their first one-man sold 3 tickets and no one bought the merch that ended up going into an end-of-the-year lucky bag at starwave.

Cool! Thanks for the translation, I really appreciate

zenmarket is worth to try, I think they are the cheapest yet reliable

I love this taiwanese band, they are already disbanded tho.

Kamijo, David, gulu gulu, Rands, Virge, ChainxmaiL, La'veil Mizeria, Crucifixion, SIRENE.

Shiro is in マッシュアップ, and the video is available in their account.

Im sick

His fucking mind...

My manager caught me watching キラワレモノ - 害虫救済 and watched with me out of curiosity. Lmao those high notes are not for him

But ain't that to be expected with MISC only being sold via Amazon.jp and only being pressed when ordered? I know that from self-published books and the writer would need to buy these books from Amazon themselves, take the books with them to the event and hope to sell them. There's no place these copies of MISC get stored somewhere and that's the difference for CHEDOARA and Rijin.

Extended gig report from Berlin since I did one from Warsaw a year and a half back. The scene: Berlin, shaking and dying, sporting a bloodshot visage from the night previous as usual, I had managed to score some decent vegetables from the bazaar at a rather handsome price for Germany, all in an effort to recover before the show, but I'm thinking: will these carry me over? Just how many gin tonics is too many? Either way duty calls and I head out to meet Gaz in a bar nearby, who already a few beers deep inadvertently encouraged me to go for one that was 15% and then it was off to the races. The bridge to Friedrichschain; running to take a piss somewhere in the corner I step on human shit, I was thinking that the only way that this isn't the worse thing that would happen to me today would be if they played The Final for the encore. I take out 40 euros from the ATM and it charges me 4 euros for the transaction. Fuck it. I'm getting beer, and this is the only way. No one takes card in a conspiracy to bleed me dry. I see Whirlingblack and two of our mutuals coming over; I bum a cigarette; the line is possibly the fastest moving I've ever experienced in my life, especially considering just how long it was; turns out the reason why it was moving fast was the inspection for the ticket was literally the door man taking a cursory look almost in the direction of my phone and going "boom" and letting me in. I got the ticket just the night before and it was nice to see that was for nothing. Could've used someone else's and I'll remember that next time. Lots of merch; I get nothing; I get a beer and some shots instead. In Warsaw I got three, now I got four. I've upgraded. The plan is that the second the lights go out we'll just strafe by the wall and when it gets heavy we'll just muscle our way to the center for the pit. Works every time and did so again. Okay, so the concert had exactly the same setlist as the previous, which is the full Insulated World album, World of Mercy, Merciless Cult and a rotating encore song. This was my first time seeing them with a set that was dedicated to promoting an album so I was moderately excited about that despite not being hugely into the fucking thing. This model works in a live context fairly well imo, like the mood is consistent and you get to see the thing in a slightly altered light; but most importantly of all that meant that this could just be the first time I won't get to hear The Final and an even better chance to never hear Sustain the Untruth ever again. The whole thing kicks off with Zetsuentai and the one marked difference from the 2018 tour is that the theatricality is even more present than last time. The first performances of Devote My Life and Keibetsu Hajimari went by like a blur in an underwhelming fashion, whereas now they've got synchronised head banging and a lot sharper performance by Kyo, who must've after performing all those songs like a hundred times now figured out how to make them work. The heavier stuff worked very well this time around and I wasn't the only one feeling the physicality since the crowd in Berlin was, for the most part, really good. Loud, energetic and the second I saw the pit was going I joined it and stuck by it til the very end. It wasn't even one of those usual weeb pits where you'll see people politely shoving each other, nope, it was the closest I've felt to a real one in one of these shows since 2010. Occasionally shit would be really tight like during Merciless Cult ( I actually in retrospect wish we would have gotten more old songs based on how good this was ) and Devote my life and although I'm just a bit saddened about no wall of death happening despite the chances definitely being there, it was still obviously really good; maybe even too good perhaps, because I do remember some of the looks from people nearby who weren't much having it. Too bad my philosophy is that leben ist krieg and if you're not in shape to hold your own, go to the back and sit on your phone there. By the end I remember one dude air punching himself a karate pit and at some point that enraged some other short purple haired dude; and of all the times to do this bullshit it was during the biggest surprise of the night which was NEW AGE CULTURE. I think eventually security stepped in on that dude flexing in front of his stupid girlfriend I guess. So yeah as far as the band goes, I honestly don't remember any moment when a complaint would've registered. The sound in the venue was good and that made it already just a bit better than the usual, and looking at the clips on youtube I'd say yeah, it's the usual for 2020 Deg. They're really good live rn imo, way better than before the mode of tours. One thing that has to be said tho is that Kyo did sound just a liiiiiitle more constrained that what I remember from last year. Followers is a rough fucking song to pull off, and World of Mercy has some difficult parts as well. I guess it just comes with the territory, doing all these tours like this; my opinion on the matter is that if you're actually minding shit other than your phone recording, you don't really care that much. The shows ends after the Followers, NEW AGE CULTURE and Utafumi encore that got such a loud reaction by the end that I was almost hoping for them to come back for a second encore. This was not to be however, so after picking up Die's pick from the ground by accident and waiting half a century for my jacket we scatter off into whirlingblack's hotel that was just around the corner, and what better way to cap off the gig other than washing away all the memories and a few others with a rather absurd and expensive haul for the already overpriced kiosk downstairs; and by the time I got back to my hostel all that red wine, sparkling wine, beers and a few others went back to where they came and where I should've went myself: the toilets of Berlin.

This must be the most outlandish and fantastic fan theory I ever heard. Like aimi said according to every interview they've ever put out that I've read they pretty much were dudes in the local scene jumping from band to band and eventually the present formation sans Kai formed out of the corpses of these local bands. They were never affiliated with each other in any way since they were on totally different labels and based in a different city. All the bands that have deg associations are from the Dynamite Tommy family like Merry and Rentrer En Soi. If I'm not mistaken some Gazette members like Kai and Ruki had day jobs before making it big too, so any roadie story is just unlikely when deg was consistently touring the country from the moment of their inception and gazette dudes had barely had their first bands by the year 2000. I think the rivalry is the invention of western fans because in Japan they have nothing to do with each other

The new bassist is so hot.

The PV is a little over the top, however the song sounds really nice. Just don't fall in love with a bandman....

I really hope it's a personal reason/family situation or something, because finding another line-up with the same character and talent for him would be incredibly difficult, and I don't want him to end up in a Zin/Leda bullshit senile-kei arrangement

Not going to talk about having different priorities in life or less economincal power, but let's not forget that SA is a hellhole and minimun wage, dollar rate, shipping costs, international taxing and so on are different from one country to another.

Backdrop Cinderella is great and funny!

Great! I love AA=, I wish THE MAD CAPSULE MARKETS reform someday

Thank you! THE NOMBEMBERS is one of the most interesting japanese acts nowadays

Just members from alternative and somewhat unknown bands, but I really appreciate when Ichimaki from BP. reply to one of my tweets

Thank you! Since the language changes when you choose the japanese store, this is very helpful

Nice! This is a cool band from my country

Cool! Long time without listen to them, I should listen again

>the band looks pretty, let's see >what a cool funky music >everyone looks happy and friendly >oh no >OH NO Every fuckin time.

Really cool/unique song intros that lead into a generic rest of the song.

Here u go

I honestly wanted to like this album but the outcome made it impossible for me. Misc is one messy beast and a really unsettling listening experience. The whole thing sounds as confusing and random as Retsu's social media slapping over the last weeks. I really don't know who they (he) want to aim with this sound. Some of you also stated the electronic samples. Yeah, cringy is the perfect description for them. Especially the SEs are freaking annoying. Three quarters of the album sound the same (Which isn't always something bad as CHEDOARA had a stringent structure, too) and songs like MIST or Funny World are kinda bland and forgettable. I rather not start talking about fucking Lament.. What's up? for me is the only highlight followed by before it's too late and Tick Tak. This state of the band really is a waste of talent and I hope that Sho will leave this sinking ship soon and joins a banging VK combo again. He is too talented for draining in a J-Pop band. I'm curious of how well this album will be embraced and if they will gain new fans with their new sound. But it is with a tearing eye that one of my (our) VK hopes left the arena and will definitely not come back.
