  1. Thanks
    Rakuen got a reaction from LIDL in TORU (ONE OK ROCK Gu.) has been diagnosed with coronavirus   
    As far as i know, i may be mistaken, but in Japan they can't force people to stay at home by force (like we had in Europe) ; they are more or less free to do whatever they want with that case. But they did have advertizing and stuff like that to wash hands, wear mask , be carefull etc...

    Rakuen got a reaction from Reiko in Not a ghost anymore   
    Hello, i'm on the website since 01/06/2014, it's been 4 years now ; and i've never been very active on the forum. The reason is very simple, i had no computer for a very long time. (Feel the rebirth !!!)
    I still kind of "used" the website on my phone, but i wasn't really there , with the community.
     
    And today, at the "Birthday" of my account creation, i deceided to come back from the death. I swear it's a happy accident, haha! I just checked how long i've been on this site, and ta-daaa , 4 years, happy birthday to me ! So instead of creating new account , i deceided to say hello again, to you all with this oldie. And of course, thanks to all of you for this community to exist since these years.
     
    A bit of myself now,
    I'm from a cold place where people imagine white bears crossing roads with us ; I look like Ariel the little mermaid ; and the night is dark and full of terror, haha !
    J-Rock, esspecially VK take a big place in my life. (My favorites  at the end of the post) VK and lyrics are very inspirational to me as i want to be an illustrator some day. (Working hard on it!) Exept VK, i'm a big fan of heroic fantasy (J.R.R Tolkien my lord ♥) ,  video games and mangas as well. I tried to learn guitar, i should try again ; but my fingers hurt !!
     
    And i think that's all you need to know for now.  Hope to be with all of you for a moment , and glad to be part of Monochrome Heaven.
     
     
    Thanks for reading. ♥

    Rakuen reacted to Shaolan974 in [POLL] Do you think a daily updated Visual Kei releases calendar is useful ?   
    Hi,
     
    I propose to make a new topic for the releases calendar. I'm ready to complete it everyday with the new releases announcement. I remembered Trombe did that on the news section and it was really usefull !
     
    there is the "upcoming event" section but I think there is a lack of updates.

    Rakuen reacted to The Bread Wolf in Game songs/soundtracks   
    I would have so much to contribute to this thread, except I'm constantly unsure whether the songs I like are actually good or if I just associate them with epic/memorable/heart breaking moments. I do think the songs are really good as standalones, but even better when in the context of the game. 
     
    I also feel like I should maybe say something about each piece? I know others haven't and I'm prolly just rambling but... 
     
     
     
     
    Apocalypsis Magnatus is actually an exception to the rule, because I literally have no idea at what point in the game this plays, I can not for the life of me remember, but I listened to it on the soundtrack and it's beautiful.

    Those who've played Final Fantasy XV will probably recognise the basic tune as being the same as Apocalypsis Noctis and Apocalypsis Aquarius. But this has a totally unique twist to it that I feel like brought the original piece to the next level. I also like the slow, delicate beginning that then builds up to an epic theme. I like songs like that.
     
     
     
    Become Fire mixes up so many emotions together that I can't even start to comprehend it. It has threatening moments, moments of solace and happiness and moments of battle. Like it's just a mixture of everything episode Ignis was. And it makes me very emotional. 
     
     
     
    Okay, so, this isn't directly from Final Fantasy V, but it's by the band formed by the composer of every Final Fantasy game up to IX so... it counts. Uematsu just really wanted to perform a metal version of all the epic themes he had composed previously.
     
     
     
    Step aside, Sephiroth. Dancing Mad is gonna kick One-winged Angel's butt.
     
     
     
    If you've played Dragon Age II and remember anything from it, you'll notice that Mage Pride is literally Fenris Theme, but with lyrics (lyrics made with a made-up language). I'd like to think that there was some thought put behind using the "mage hater's" theme as a basis for a song called Mage Pride.
     
     
     
    At first I was a bit iffy about Trevor Morris as a composer, because I thought Dragon Age: Inquisition's soundtrack wasn't as memorable as DA: Origins and DAII's soundtracks had been, but he redeemed himself with Trespasser's soundtrack. I can barely listen to Dark Solas Theme without feeling a lump in my throat.
     
     
    I'll conclude this with a single light-hearted theme from Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.
     
     
    You'll really get into objecting people when this plays.

    Rakuen reacted to Seelentau in A Brief History of Visual Kei: Unnecessary Symbols & Punctuation in Band Names   
    Maybe not as interesting as the other examples in this thread, but DIR EN GREY always makes me chuckle.
    They took the Japanese 灰色の銀貨 (Haiiro no Ginka = Grey Silver Coin) and, for whatever reason, decided to translate it into three different languages: German, French and English - Dir En Grey.
    The only problem? "Dir" doesn't mean "Silver Coin": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dir#German
    What DOES mean "Silver Coin"? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Silbermünze
    I wonder when it dawned on them that their name is a mistranslation...
