do a clean install of your current windows. if the problems still persist then it's a hardware issue and upgrading is not gonna fix it.

I want to cosplay Karma from AvelCain but I really could need some help >< his make up don't work on me, I feel like a prostitute xD
these are two versions AND PLEASE don't tell me 'they look similar' because it's not D: take a closer look & be helpful please ;D
I know that I still need to dye my hair black don't pay attention to it this is just the make up test & I don't know which one to choose
If you've any suggestions how I should do it feel free to tell me (;
 
first verison: (reminds me more of Ryogas current make up tbh, I don't use much red lipstick on this)

 
second version: (with red lipstick, I used more black eye shadow and no Kajal)

Toshiya crooked or straight, for sure <3

My friend finally published her fic on a fanfiction site!! So proud of her!!

Oh wow, I heard he fixed his teeth but he really does look great! (I agree he was still adorable before, tho)

That's your problem. Go listen to a better album and then you'll see what fans saw in him a few years ago. I suggest Miyaviuta~Dokusou~, Galyuu, or even Miyavizm.

Toshiya crooked or straight, for sure <3

Artist: Jupiter Single: ARCADIA Score: A band haunted by it's ghosts tries their hand at an exorcism with mixed results.
Before I begin the review, I must note that there is a lot of bias in this review. The final score is a direct result of this bias. I will remain as neutral as I can in my assessment of the single, but I should explain where it comes from and why I ultimately can't get rid of it.

As you may have guessed, this is because of Versailles. I don't like everything they've done and I have some choice words to say about their last two albums, but I like enough of their music to call myself a fan. Their disbandment tore through my emotions like a chestburster from the Alien franchise ripping through some poor sap's chest. When I look at pictures of Jupiter I get irrationally upset. I'm looking at four of the five faces of Versailles wearing almost the same outfit scheme, yet I can't connect with their music. I know that they are two separate bands and should be treated as such, but this is one of those continuations (like school food punishment and la la larks) where the similarities are so numerous that I can't accept that. The way the band mobilized after the dissolution of Versailles, announced a new vocalist and started releasing music suggests to me that they jumped into this band with no intention of stopping activities or reconsidering their approach to music. They are in their own world, releasing their music, yet sometimes I don't know if they truly consider Jupiter to be it's own entity or a continuation of Versailles without Kamijo. This confusion bleeds into their music.

I first blamed my lack of enthusiasm on the new vocalist Zin, who has all of the makings of a good power metal vocalist but none of Kamijo's charisma. After listening to ARCADIA, I think it's something different. In order to become their own entity, Jupiter has to make music that shatters the ghost of Versailles. Right now, there's spark missing from Jupiter that was snuffed when Jasmine You was buried and extinguished when Versailles called it quits. Jupiter has tried very hard to recapture the magic with CLASSICAL ELEMENT, but lightning rarely strikes the same place twice. Even with all the boisterious riffs, regal pomp and technical dazzle that prove the members of the band haven't missed a beat, I don't even think I cared enough to finish the album. There was an element of inventiveness when Versailles attempted this first that Jupiter doesn't have now and it's a detrimental force that I don't see them working past easily. The title track ARCADIA takes some steps towards this, but ultimately it's not enough. It's another Hizaki styled power metal song that flows through the same tired canyons and grooves. There's a distinct Jupiter twist in it that is hard to put into words but easy to hear in the music, but that twist alone is not enough to differentiate this song. Combined with a vocalist unable to leave a lasting impression, this comes off as "just another power metal track" and the tunes will fade from your memory sooner rather than later. I can see this working well within an album but not as a single. Previous Jupiter fans will eat this up. For me, this is a continental breakfast.

And then there's Darkness, the example of "shattering conceptions" I alluded to earlier. As a track with entirely harsh vocals, the band moves in a direction they could have never executed well under Kamijo's direction. It's a good experiment with mixed results. Zin does well enough to get by but I do not think he sounds any more or less appealing whether he sings or growls. The clash between vocalist and music is what makes this track an interesting listen at first but once it loses it's novelty for being different there's little else to differentiate it from the wealth of other tracks Jupiter has made and will continue to make. This will disappear off of my radar even faster than Arcadia.

So once again Jupiter leaves me at a crossroads of doubt unable to puzzle out what I want from them. My score of average reflects how I feel about this band: great ideas, average execution. This band may have gotten all of the members, but Kamijo has all of the magic. Jupiter have made no moves to reveal their trump card. They can only ride on Versailles' coattails for so long before they fizzle out. To recapture the magic that they no longer seem to have, they have to take a look at themselves as a band and find out what inspires them and how they can channel these emotions differently. They're in a race against time to do so before my interest in them fades away.

We'll see what my opinion is when the second album is here.

: O How fabulous, that's the exact wallpaper I have right now! They always look just too god damn good! My mother dislikes the VK style so much, she's embarrassed when friends come round and see it. xD All the more reason to keep putting one on haha.

Welcome to MH! Love the sig, yay for another Lycaon lover! <3  I also see you like Plastic Tree, another awesome band!
 
Don't be scared ^^ we are nice, most of the time. Hehe.  I followed you on tumblr and added you on last.fm lol.
 
Have fun!

I also love that D'LORE track, Rocketeer. I miss that band something fierce.
 
I was about to start a thread similar to this but glad I searched for one first. The songs that get me through dark times tend to stick with me the most, but there are a couple that remind me of certain times or people that effected me in a unique way. I tried doing a little write up for each track but some of it is just so personal I'm not comfortable putting it out for everyone to see, that, and this post became a novel so I deleted it. orz
 
Dir en grey - "Cage"
xTRiPx - "limpid" (the original, but since I can't find the original on youtube you get the re-recorded version here)
bis - "Start"
MUCC - "我、在ルベキ場所"
the GazettE - "Discharge"
Pay money To my Pain - "Another Day Comes"
ONE OK ROCK - "Liar"
coldrain - "NEVER LOOK AWAY"
 
Not exactly chronological order, but close. And you can see when my interests shifted out of vk... lol. But yeah. All of these songs bring up some strong memories. First times, last times, times you'd rather not remember....

Haha, ofc course you can join the chat whenever you want! Haha for now I can tell that I had the time of my life on that Lycaon concert and my neck hurt for like 4 days after the concert, and tbqh my neck & shoulders are still hurting a bit. Too much headbanging for me XD
 
Have you btw seen that Lycaon discography thread (started by me)? There's quite a lot of stuff that aren't that common in the internet (thanks to kyoselflove!), so you probably should check that out!

We NEED a Lycaon party already! I never even realised how many fans there were on here of theirs! <3 I'm really happy we all have similar tastes and I can chat this much now, I'm not regretting joining. Haha, most of the time? Wow, you followed me? >< It's so plain at the moment on both things, sorry, hope I don't disappoint. You're my first friend on both. xD Thank you for having me, please continue your participation here and have fun too!
 
 
I finally feel like I do, I've never typed so much/so quickly before haha. Thanks so much for having me too and giving me a lovely welcome too, I really mean it!

So, well, I've wanted to join here for quite a while now, but have never had enough confidence to do it. I've actually, just today, decided to join as many social community things (sig..) as I could to try to socialise with the people I want to talk with more (even though I have no clue how to do ANY of these stuff on the internet....), but seeing as I known no one where I live who likes VK and Japanese music in general. So that's why I've decided now to join up here, in a random moment of feeling both scared and excited... So please go easy on me if I say something dumb or wrong, I just want to join in with you guys. There's too many awesome people here so, even though I'm shaking, I'd like to chat with you all as much as I can and make friends and just chat about what we all love.
So thanks for reading my pretty dumb introduction, hah, don't let me bore you, run along now or I might just be overwhelmed if anyone replies. xD Anyway, enjoy your day and see you around (love reading comments from everyone so I'll still probably stay on the sidelines still anyway xD) Aha, well, take care and everything.

I'm playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on PC in Revengeance difficulty.
I seem to have no trouble beating the game with no damage and getting an S rank for every single fight until the last boss fight with Armstrong.
There are QTE bugs in the PC version if you play the game in less than 60 FPS which means you can't do a debris cut properly and timing for the last QTE is way too fast.
This is the final S rank I yearn for though. lol
 
Edit: Finally, I finished MGR:R in Revengeance difficulty on PC with no damage and S ranks for all chapters using a keyboard and mouse. lol
I had to play the game in 800x600 for the last boss fight to get rid of the QTE bugs though.
 

YES! So excited! Finally!! YAY!  I'm so happy lol.

Yuuki calling out the werewolf theme.<3
Love everything that's been said about the album so far, more "toxic and occult" seems like exactly where they are headed now.
You can see the Pyramids Yuuki, just look. Don't let them tell you you can't !

I played it last week, it is insanely creepy and very good at the scare factor!  I was pretty much on the edge of my seat the whole time haha.

I love this band. Although some releases are kind of bad.  But I love the cheesy synths lol.  I don't mind the auto tune that much.  I was a big fan of Vidoll and love Rame.  I like how they have a somewhat original sound compared to most visual kei bands.  And Ice's voice is really nice.

Feast your eyes on the very first Persona 5 teaser kids!

So pretty much we get introduced to the protagonist and it's probably safe to say the story will be taking place in Tokyo. Also it's not just coming to PS3 like it was previously announced but to PS4 as well.
