Well that ends the era of Jrockdrama/JRD. Someone else can take my mantle and run with it if you have the money. They make Golden Bomber masking tape. Wtf. Also got surprised with Jin-Machine rarez I didn't know existed. It's like you have to go to EVERY tour final to get a CD with unreleased songs. Some of them are really good, some of them are like them fucking being dumb. Also MiMiC loves giving me merch and chekis with MiO. It's like they know. Also MiO writes all of their songs.

Visual Kei Two launching soon. Check it out here

i just wanna tell yall how much i fucking love you because yall are so tolerant (most of the time anyway) of me no matter how shitty my opinions are and are willing to have a civil discussion instead of just pushing me away meanwhile anime fandoms are shit and so is cancel culture, literally fuck cancel culture in the ass btw

VK is my safe space, I just realised I always come back to it when I'm at my worst.

I nearly forgot what today is... It's my VK fan anniversary! Today marks 4 full years of being a fan. It's not about the time I've been a fan for, it's more about everything that makes me so grateful to be a part of this community and to have accidentally stumbled upon this music scene all those years ago. I've made lasting, deep friendships, I learned to become a nicer, empathetic person, and I've been given so much and have barely started to give back. Above all, my hobby brings me so much joy and I'm forever thankful to every bandomen, big or small, for making music that makes me (simply put) feel. And of course, to the lovely fanbase that has treated me so well over these past years. My passion hasn't wavered in the slightest, even from when I first became a fan. I feel like I'm in for the long run and I'm glad I have such a wonderful community in it with me. Thank you.

I'm an ordinary person who has been surrounded by tons of amazing people for my entire life. Too talented and skilled that one would easily feel inferior to them. But I don't take it that way. I'd rather say I'm incredibly lucky that these kinds of people exist in real life, not someone cool on TV or in the book, but someone I know personally and very close to me. For example: My maternal aunt - She runs a long time established food business (an industry level) that has been around for many decades. Her net worth is approximately $100m. One of the celebs in this country. My neighbor - A big family who I have known since our grandpa's era that lives only 10 meters away from my house. They run a construction and land business for many decades. Their net worth is ~$30m. My best friend forever's younger brother - A YouTuber (game caster) who has been in the scene since 2012 when only few people knew about monetizing on YouTube. So he is one of the top YouTubers here. His net worth has just reached $3m recently. He is only 26. My high school junior - He is friends with the YouTuber above (26 years old). He has been through a lot in life. He is a developer who runs a software company at the international level. His income is ~$100k/mo. Lately, he and his team launched a cryptocurrency and listed it in Binance and several exchanges. Now it's in the top 60 with a $200m marketcap. (Not gonna mention the name as I'm not promoting it.) Any many more... too many to list all of them. Having these kinds of people around immensely inspires you to do something in life rather than sticking with lazy, passive, and unmotivated people who don't have any certain goals in life. What they have in common is they built up their wealth from scratch literally, not inherited. No supportive daddy and mommy. This is cool af honestly. There is a saying that the books you read and the friends you have can tell what you'll become in the future. Personally, I've been working on several web apps. Not a startup but a one-man team. I've come to the point where I'm not behind anyone in the field anymore (~30,000 hours of practice). I don't know everything, but from where I am, it's not difficult to learn anything new. My flagship project got tons of positive feedback in a world class developer community. So I'm kinda relieved that it's not gonna be a flop. Even if it is, I'd build something better instead of quitting. I'm totally inspired by the people around me.

I finally got a job!

In my few years of being a visual kei fan, I've talked a lot of shit, but I've also found my truest friends along the way. You have been with me through it all, and accepted me for who I am. You brought me back up when I was down. You even gave me a second chance when I was coming back from a downward spiral. And for that, I'm grateful. Thank you for being my friends. ♥

I'm still not over NICOLAS giving us rubber chickens to use during the live since we weren't allowed to shout and member call fsdifhndfda there's a reason i love these men

Heads up that I'll be deleting all of the links to the stuff I uploaded here tomorrow. This is to make room on the current Mega account that I have for transitioning to JRO, and since I'm gonna be swamped until New Years, I thought I'd get it over with tomorrow. Just thought I'd give a little heads up before I eradicated everything lol.

This must be Mikoto (Zigzag Vo.)'s dog.

idk who needs this, but...Hey you. Yeah you. I know today might be hard and you're just existing, but you're important. Don't be too hard on yourself and take it a day at a time. Love you.

By the end of the summer, there will be no more uploads from me. I've been called a bitch, elitist, e.t.c. I spend my hard earn money to share bands I love with you guys. I've been with TW/MH since the beginning, some of you even have my personal cell number. I'm trying a new twitter @nameinbiography I'm not very social-able. You can also catch me in discord. I'll still be here giving my opinions or fan girling or stuff. I don't dislike any of you, some of you even make me laugh with your wits and I respect you for it. I'm very approachable so don't be afraid of me cause I'm more afraid of you.

wondering what happened to that ban on politicsposting my kings and female kings 👀

Countdown begins. It's been a great 10+ years giving you guys rarez and such. I know most of you really appreciate it. I love how you all collectively think I was a huge bitch when you DMed me, but got the total opposite. I'll still be here, but I won't be uploading. There's a tie for 3rd so you guys get 4 releases thing. Also if you wanted to play my guessing game, it'd be fun, and you can a list of rarez I have that you can choose from.

I'm considering making a blogspot for Visual Kei downloads, a-la evil-en-lucifer, because I'm gonna be real, MH is probably gonna die and those 10+ years of hard to find vkei downloads could disappear. So I was wondering if any old-school collectors would want to help with my project. I have a lot of Vkei CDs I inherited from my ex who doesn't like Vkei anymore, so I can start it off, but this is gonna have to be a group project.

please help, i think my son is addicted to rarez. he's stopped caring about anything else. he hasn't showered in weeks, he just sits in that room looking at zenmarket all day. he punches holes in the wall whenever a sniper bid denies him a live-distributed demo tape from a show attended by 10 people at some venue that closed its doors in 2001. at first i was so proud because i thought he was taking up learning french, but as it turns out he was just naming old japanese goth twink boy-bands? what do i do?

Broke: This is a Dir en Grey ripoff Woke: This is a Kuroyume ripoff Ascended: This is a Japanese glam metal ripoff

Just found out that one of my blog posts was used as a reference in the J-fash Wiki so I think I can call myself a credible Visual Kei historian now

a 100% flawlessly rendered 3d model of your favorite japanese jrocker duking it out with an absolutely AWFULLY rendered version of himself tekken 3 style

always find it weird when people insist this "era" of vk is deprived of talent, every era of vk up to now has been filled with talentless hacks, you just don't remember them because they were so unworthy of recollection that your brain basically filtered them out. there was no "golden era" where every band was good, you just don't have an eidetic memory that allows you to vividly recall hundreds of singles by mediocre knockoff bands you listened to in 2010

Rapunzel routine.

I fucking hate how I can't create an account on anything anymore without putting in a phone number. You shouldn't need to have to pay for a fucking phone service just to fucking use twitter and facebook. Oh and burner number apps don't fucking work with twitter

80s jpop is 🔥 why did it take me so long to get into this stuff?

Why do all these new Vkei bands dress like Kpop rejects? I guess asking your friend who knows how to sew or a mistu/Tsunagari doesn't work anymore. Go big and flop like Xodiack, at least that's an attempt at visual kei artistry. Remember it's us gajins fault for not buying their digital mini.

This breaks my heart and I didn't know about it until now. If you wanna keep in touch with me or see me write stupid shit; follow me @nameinbiography at Twitter. I'm gonna miss the last 14 years we had together. I answer dms and questions, I'm not mean or intimidating. Hope to see some of you guys, if not, then this is my last goodbye to you. Love you all and take care. You've all been such wonderful people over the years.

last message...✝ I want to thank all of you who have made this place home for me. From being a banned shitposter to a moderator is a big step to take with a lot of challenges on the road. My experiences here have changed my life and I am so grateful to every one of you. Who knew that a Japanese rock forum could bring so many wonderful people together? To all my friends here, you know where to find me. thank you all for everything ♥ suji

As we approach the end I wanted to thank everyone for their contributions in the past. My 8years here have been amazing. Good luck and bravery to yall and see you on the other side

Can we just appreciate the fact that Trombe is still the top all-time contributor with more that twice the amount of points that 2nd place has? Talk about an unbeatable high-score.

Merry Christmas to everybody that celebrates it! And if you don't, then have a Happy Hanukkah or a cool Kwanzaa

For anyone wondering, I didn't die! I just haven't had (and won't have) my own Internet for a while so I'm sending this from public WiFi. Hope you're all well and that you all have a very merry Christmas! Xoxoxo

y'all better buy hard drives and start backing up your collections....a lot of stuff is about to become rarez. i'm about to raid the DL section rn matter of fact...

so glad we can all collectively move on from visual kei now x see you all on the jazz fusion discussion forum

Well, fellas, we finally have Due Le Quartz PVs in high quality. All thanks to my friend, Kairu. You might know him has the guitarist of En'Cell Dis'Dein, a neo-Kote band.

"Your ancestors fought and died so that you could have the right to vote". NO THE FUCK they didn't! My ancestors fought and died for our liberation. For justice. For equity...none of which has ever been achieved NOR will ever be achieved through voting in this stank-ass U.S. system. I can't wait until this farce is fucking over with.

its sad some people will never know the joy of hunting down and sorting through dozens of obscure releases from failed indies bands to finally find a single song you like..

Who the fuck decided that for architecture or design to be "modern", it has to have no curves or intricate decorations, and has to be completely made up of straight lines and right angles? Bruh if the future is jut a bunch of squares, I wanna live in the past

I love vk music that sounds like it was recorded with a toaster.

washed-up nü-kei h8r reporting in to say: キズ rules

Normies: "Ew, metal is so gross, isn't it annoying listening to guys scream all the time?!?!" The music they listen to:

VK locations I want to see as PV backdrops in 2020: - rosariums - english high tea rooms - high end psychic reading salons (sub. with CGI astral plane) - tokyo sewers (DIV rip-offs only) - planetariums - bamboo forests - oak forests - wig markets - coronavirus hospital wing VK locations I don’t want to see: - white rooms - defunct garbage recycling facilities - CG backgrounds that look like cancelled playstation 4 download-only titles - normie night clubs - that pool share your own dream concepTs girlies!!!!

I was sure this will be the worst year ever, but my best friend is getting married, and i finally feel myself happy with the person I thought I had no chances with... isn't it a real happiness...

It's funny how at the time of MYV doing the Kvki Boiz stuff, it seemed to have huge mixed reception in the foreign communities. People were shocked by him having like mc hypemen and a DJ. In hindsight, especially considering what he's done in the last decade, that period was so fucking inspired and unique ..

I know politics are banned, but since Kanye is running for president, doesn't that kinda make this music-related too now????

Idk which mod/admin made my topic featured but thank you! It's an honour, really. I didn't think that the silly things that come out of my mouth were worth the designation lol

I miss Machi so much. He was my feminine beauty ideal back in the school days.

PSA: If you have issues or complaints that you want to take up with the forum, then let us (the staff) know. Bitching and complaining in private doesn't help anything, and closed mouths don't get fed. However, if you're just upset because other ppl share opinions and perspectives that you don't like. Then you need to take a good look inside and ask yourself why you're so pressed about the opinions of random strangers on a damn J-rock forum. Alternatively, you can GROW THE FUCK UP. Some of yall are way too old for this nonsense.

I do not understand musically limiting yourself to one genre and I also don’t understand going out of your way to express you don’t like something to someone who clearly likes the thing. Do people expect to change others opinions on what they like? Stop trying to decide what other people should and shouldn’t like? Stop trying to dictate what is and isn’t good music? Just listen to what you like and talk positively about the things you like. If you don’t like it, why waste energy on it?
