Opinions Please

Currently I am throwing around a bit of a wild idea in my head.
Writing it here is in no way a confirmation, just a check to see if the interest is strong enough to warrant the effort it would take to organize.
 
But would people be interested in a live stream where, with a translator present the international vkei fans themselves could ask questions of one of the musicians I work with (who would be willing)
 
Generally it would probably be operated simular to an in store event in Japan.
Due to time, and other issues it would be hard to assure that everyone’s questions would be asked and answered.
But it would give everyone a chance to ask and interact with a vkei artist in a new way.
 
Once again I stress the fact that this is not a confirmed thing, just something I am considering looking into if there is enough interest.

their new distributed single "Ishtar" will be released through indie CD stores and will be available for free download since 2016/04/01

Blood on the Dancefloor, Brokencyde and Black Veil Brides. Basically all of the faux-screamo and scene kid shit. Their delusional fans too.

YUUUUUI MY HONEY <3 <3 <3
 
What is Misasa Sami doing that prevents him from drumming for this gig?
 
(googling)
 
Hmm, guess he retired..

Oh Yuui, I have waited for your return on the stage as an angry-looking bōsōzoku kid. Bring it on.

Based on what I've seen (a lot of booklet scans), eve has composed like 95% of their songs since 2013.
 
I always thought it was unusual for a VK band to not be their own songwriters. (or at least be credited as such)

Adidas-kei?

His eye isn't that straight though. At least he is constantly using either different lenses for each eye, either applies different make up on each eye. And this repeats in every new look. The last one isn't an exception.So, I guess everybody knows that Mejibray Mia's nose isn't natural.
And every hollywood smile is hard dentist's work. Nothing new here.
