Good lord it makes so little sense XD
 
Release a live-ltd single "Re:Puzzle" sure...
Release a standard mini of previously live-ltd. shit great...
Release a best-of gathered from all of your >30 songs total, THAT's cool too...
 
but this.... what was the idea, how was this pitched or even brought up.
 
01. Re:Puzzle [new song]
02. Until The Despair Dead [standard - XisDead]
03. Zan'ei [standard - "M.A.D"]
04.  Dead Flower [standard - XisDead]
05. Sand&Blood [standard - SepsiS]
06. D[Add]... [Live-ltd. Single]
06. 餌喰 [[this is the b-side from SKELET right? a live limited single.. but not the title track...]
 
Would it not have made sense for this to include the songs from SKELET, Rasen, Beginning Of Darkness, or like the 3-song limited single from this year...?
"Best-of" WHAT? What's the criteria?? Why would you produce a limited-sale of songs that are already in regular sale.. am I crazy? does this look right to anyone?

I think that this situation sort of showcases the discrepancy between the western and Japanese fandom, in some ways. We in the west have sort of built up our own subculture surrounding VK that isn't the same as it is in Japan. In Japan, attending VK lives can have connotations that a lot of guys would want to avoid, the informal rules surrounding the lives can also make the shows less enjoyable to men too, as in the whole staying put in your spot, allowing time and space for the girls to fix their hair between each headbang and stuff like that. The western VK fandom treats it more like any other alternative subculture whereas I feel like in Japan it has unhealthy connections with the host ideals. 
 
I went to a VK bar in Tokyo and talked to the bartender and he said that the regular girls scared away other customers on the weekends by refusing to let him serve others, since they "paid for his company" by buying drinks, and they would demand from him to play only the one band they listen to the entire night.
I think for a lot of guys who are into VK, most Japanese men who are into VK are CD-only by the way, as in they don't attend the shows but just buy the music from stores and might occasionally show up to onemans and stand in the back, this doesn't create a fun atmosphere since they would prefer to just hang about and talk shit about music and listen to a dozen different bands. 
 
I realize that the bangya culture is what keeps the bands afloat, but I think it's also this culture that sort of kills the fun for a lot of guys who enjoy the music and enjoy the scene aesthetically but isn't just invested in one band and wants to enjoy some host fantasy with them. And this is why guys have a larger part in the western fandom because ours really isn't connected much to the Japanese one beyond listening to the same bands.
 
To be fair though, quite a few bands try to remedy this by doing those male only shows, and I think that's an awesome thing, although I wish it weren't necessary.
