  1. One thing I want to ask is why he chose such a comical musical theme for the vids if he wanted it to be taken seriously?

     

    For dramatic effect of course.

     

    The ends of the visual blogs?

     

    It's too good to be true. VisualscandalIt's 3rd attempt, right?

     

    The main difficulty is that you have to be copyright owner to report links, but only with stuff that belongs to you, while other links will stay.

     

    I'm guilty, once I tried to report link on mega. Mega has rather simple form. So I filled it and put real band's email from ohp. And it worked.

    So if Masa or any other antipirate knows blog adress he can report eternally.


  2. Do you know why digital sales in korea are so restricted? i was really surprised. as far as i understood at some sites you even need to put in smth like your social security number to access the mp3/flacs?? i dont get it.

    Btw seems like korean itunes contains no music, only apps. Weird


  3. But why? 

    Everytime I talk about Galeyd there's always at least one person "Oh you mean the Deluhi copy?"

    Now I didn't take that to offense because I like the band, but it did make me curious as to what people are using as evidence for that, because musically, and visually they really are two solid bands on their own. 

    I think thats because people listened to few bands in j-metal, so they think Deluhi and Galeyd sound same.

    Its like with the anime. Folks say TitleA is so much like TitleB, CharacterA is so much like CharacterB. And thats because they watched like 10 titles in general.

    Galeyd is closer to power metal, while late Deluhi sound metalcoric. They are different.


  4. Do you live in Quebec? it must be quebec that is weird as I can ems 10+ items without paying extra but I live in B.C.

     

    I wish i didn't live as far from Japan -_-' Canada is so far, especially the Quebec; the shipping is very high due to this reason.


  5. So you bought 10cds.

    According to cdjapan 1 cd weights 188gr.

    So 10 cds in total are 1880gr.

    Lets count for USA for example (btw where do you live?). Shipping 10 cds in one package by reg air mail costs 3420 yen (to USA).

    Lets separate cds into packages with 3cds in each (but each package must cost less than 60$, i think that's possible), so thats 564gr and 1560 yen by reg air mail each (3 packs, 3 cds each). And last cd ships alone for 1160 yen ( but shipping 1 cd alone is unprofitable).

    Total shipping price: 1560*3 + 1160 = 5840 yen.

    You'll overpay 2420 yen for delivery, but thats less than tax.

    But if your orders are less, than 5000yen you are not receiving extra bonus points.

    Hope i didn't make mistake while counting.

    What do you think?


  6. ^What shipping method do you use?

    If you buy cds, that shipped directly to you, you don't have to pay jap taxes.

    If you redirect your order to shopping service, you have to pay twice for delivery and tax too. (But I guees that's still less than your country tax).

    In your place I would choose separate deleveries (so the cost of each package will be less than 60). But this depends on shipping method, you have to adjust weight for not to overpay (forgot the right word, sorry) for delivery.


  7. I've just imagined what will I do if I suddenly want to listen to band I've never listened to.

    Well, for example Misaruka (their pvs creep me out so I never start listen to their stuff). They are available at streaming services.

    But using streamin service is convenient only when I'm using PC, 'cause streming from mobile devices discharges battery fast and internet connection just dissapers sometimes or doesn't work at some places.

    So I'll just try to find and dowload their releases.

    Playing purchased or pirated music directly from your hdd or a portable player is simple and reliable.


  8. I thought nokubura are doing well.

    I think fans should support their favourite bands in a possible way. Buy something. If you can't buy cd, you can show your appreciation by buying at least onesong digital single. Digital versions are pretty covenient for foreign fans.

    Sharing help discover. If I really like single I downloaded, I'll buy it, or buy next one. I want to hope other folks do the same.

    But sure there are lots of people who dont buy music at all. I guess there's no way to make them pay. If noone will share certain album they'll just ignore it.

    I'm not against sharing, I'm against people who dont support even favourite bands.


  9. I think you fail to realize I wasn't criticizing your opinion. I was just justifying what I said since you decided to criticize me. I don't have to prove you anything. It's kinda obvious. But if you think it's ok for musicians to sell lanterns and they're destroying their career because they just feel like doing it, ok. Believe whatever you want.

    What's this Lantern story?

  10. I loved BugLug. In the begining they were very nice and sincere and were making energetic music. Both Asobiz and Made in Mine were great. 絶交悦楽論 was a bit disapointing, after KAIBUTSU l stopped checking their release dates. Some time after I saw preview of killer x killer x killer and I completely lost interest in them.

    I guess I was expecting them to be cheerful oshare kei band and they went different way.
