It is a strange one, I mean I have paid good money for rarer items and stuff but sometimes you have to wonder where the line between dedication and dumb actually is....

Serenity In Murder 4th album "REBORN" will be released at 2021/02/10.

A decade ended, and a new one began this year. I don't think we've had this convo yet, so what are yall favorite J-rock albums from the decade of 2010 to 2020? You can list your favorites, and you can also list albums that you simply think stand out or are at least worth a listen for J-rock fans in general. I need to think on this, so i'll come back and share my favs/best later.

How many of you are pursuing a music career or are/were in a band?

I would think they would announce a new single for next Summer or something by now since they are not doing much this year. But I guess not. And by the way, YouTube rqndomly reccommended me this video, such a walk on memory lane

My reaction to regular human music perfectly summed up

well, since they also lack an income, they are trying to get a few bucks this way

That's what i call Fake News Panic. They never said hiatus bitches they just want to know if they keep paused while pandemic is not over or they will restart lives activities. Why so much drama

haha this whole thing is so dumb.

well, after doing some digging here's the list i came up with, there were quite a few i had forgotten about. as always, i'm separating vk and j-indie. i surprisingly had a lot of s/t favorites on the j-indie end. 9GOATS BLACK OUT - TANATOS baroque - peur et puella baroque - sin division cocklobin - iris cocklobin - chronus Dezert - Title Nashi gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy - In incontinence the god and death stars - Dawn of the God (all of their albums were great but i prob listened to this one the most) Kannivalism - helios kebyou - dokushin my bacteria heat island - mimic Plastic Tree - Ammonite Plastic Tree - Ink ...silence - dreamer dreamer ...silence - psycho lens Asunojokei - A bird in the fault Asunojokei - Awakening Behind the Shadow Drops - Harmonic the dresscodes - s/t dummy-xD - s/t for example you sell the sea - s/t FOX LOCO PHANTOM - garden FOX LOCO PHANTOM - dare ga tame ni oto wa naru Ling tosite sigure - still a sigure virgin?

ALCYON is a Nagoya (名古屋) based visual kei band who formed in December 2017, and started activity in July 2018. They typically focus on heavy-toned music which contrasts beautifully against the high voice of vocalist Sera. They celebrate their second anniversary this July at Nagoya Fits ALL. Read on to learn about their two years of activity so far. It's a band who we somehow never really notice, however their music isn't bad at all and since last month we also can enjoy their music via digital platforms! So please check them out here! https://vk.gy/blog/an-interview-with-alcyon/

My cheki of Mei came in today, definitely a few more sets I want to get, and I'll update the album when I do. Full album: https://sta.sh/21j561tvuh6l?edit=1 Some favs

Man there is so much harmonic content to take from MUCC. They are without a doubt the most prominent in the use of harmonic progressions in the whole scene. The use of diminished chords and wandering bass notes in this refrain is simply marvellous..

The last two chords that became somewhat a standard for MUCC after Gokusai came out. Sus4 -> Major Get's me everytime. They did wear it out a bit though.

You can take this as a rumor I guess but it actually happened. Whether the staff person who told us all this was telling the truth or not I don't know, but I don't really see why they would lie lol. This was over 10 years ago so I might have some details wrong but this is what happened to the best of my memory. So at Oni-con in Houston, TX in 2008 Dio -distraught overlord- and Sugar played. On Friday the bands played and on Saturday the bands were supposed to have Q&A panels and the Dio one went great, but the Sugar one kept getting delayed as we all waited outside the room for ages. A friend of mine and I started asking staff what was going on and this staff person for the convention started quietly telling us about the previous night and what was going on that day. Basically the night before, after the concert, the bands got really rowdy drunk and Loki (vocalist of Sugar) started causing all kinds of shenanigans and problems. They said he was flirting with male staff (really awkwardly because they were not reciprocating) and that apparently he forgot what hotel room number was his because he started walking around and knocking on every single hotel room door on that floor trying to figure out which one was his. ... Anyway, as if the staff's control of this situation couldn't get any worse, somehow Loki escaped before they had to do the Q&A and was apparently wandering around Houston and they had yet to find him. The panel ended up getting cancelled and the rest of the band apologized as far as I can remember. Not sure what happened after that. The whole thing was a messsssss.
