sadly she was just dykebait.....i'm still recovering

Yura from Puela had a short lived solo project. She retired after a few releases though.
 

I find their music so... 😴
I only liked them around the time of Yami ni chiru sakura. Such potential with that style.

The constant and drastic changes of look and sound that this band has had since they were born may tell that they've always been managed by a group of people that tries everything they have near them just to sell them as much as possible... 
 
For me, they are the prototype of what in this forum people call the "idolized" VK industry of the recent years.

you get the privilege of listening to hisame again

Lanju's is a great bassist, so I'm getting a little excited after this!

I don't think this is a debate thread, but I really do take issue with calling a band like Baiser uninspired when they changed up the formula with each album they released. The first album and demos don't even sound like the same band that made the second one, and by the last one they'd tightened up their game considerably from the third. La'mule also showed healthy progression throughout and the BERLIN single sounds like they would've had another chapter ahead of them had they not disbanded. 

my friend Tetsu upload the full MV VANISH
 
 

I'm somewhat knowledgeable of Kanadajin myself and I'm pretty sure she was never a bangya.

Did they delve into Kanadajin and her enlightened ex-vkei-fan-turned-saudi-house-wife hot takes on women's issues

I actually read this entire article about... I wanna say two years ago? Anyways, for anyone who didn't read the whole thing, the author basically talks about how this girl was so into VK that she couldn't actually live a functional life. Like, she was losing sleep, refusing to socialise, physically injuring herself... which just goes to show that the worst part of any fandom is the fan. VK isn't the problem; it's fucking weirdos like these who can't even juggle basic human reasoning skills with something that's just meant to be a hobby. The woman in this article is insane. If I were her friend, I would rehabilitate her before she killed herself, intentionally or accidentally.
 
Absolutely disgraceful. Makes the whole fandom look like a bunch of meth-heads. My heart goes out to her if she's accepted help for this, because let's be real - she clearly has some sort of mental disorder - but if she's really embracing this and trying to make this emblematic of the entire scene, then I'm just appalled. I know this pretty strongly-worded, but someone had to say it.
 
Also, before anyone tries to correct me on this, I know that this kind of thing does happen sometimes, but what scene doesn't have its psychopaths? I just hate it when people try to lump us all together like this. This is why people get shy about being into things like VK/J-rock.

I haven't listened to anything from Janne da Arc but Chaos Mode. That's all I need. I'm probably missing out but w/e.
 
I never got the Diaura hype. Like yeah, they have some damn amazing melodic choruses, and that's what finally drew me to some of their music after so long. But to me that's all they have going for them and it's nothing groundbreaking. Not sure why everyone loves Yo-ka considering he looks like every other vocalist in terms of hair and makeup and his voice is just... good. Nothing amazing. I don't get it! Maybe I'm desensitized. 
 
I also wish they'd made more songs as ディオーラ, but that's not really a confession. I've seen a few people around here with the same opinion, haha.

I've never cared for Mejibray and a huge chunk of the "big" bands within the scene, with a few exceptions of course. I'm not trying to be hipsterish at all costs, it's just that I have a hard time getting into anything that I find overexposed. If I like something, I'll like it regardless of the popularity (or lack of thereof) of the band, it's just that it happens rarely with well-known bands.
 
(basically, I enjoy screaming in the void about bands no1curr about)
 

Kinda bummed this was a joke, because I liked that song. xD

I want more, dammit. 

Also, SHI-NO from Deshabillz and JE*REVIENS was doing something related to anisongs and dj activity... The last time I heard something about him, he was a regular guest of k-pop liveshows with his gyaru wife.
