I  adore your avatar. I'll give you a ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Definitively Kyoko from Inugami Circus-Dan <3
 
 

Wanted to show you guys just how much of an awesome retard my other dog is (for some reason, the floofy one appears smarter in pictures, while everyone who's ever met him knows he's a total dork).
 

 
When you're flopping out of your bed but are too tired to adjust so you kinda look like you're dead. 
 
 
 
 

 
Soon...
 
 
 
 

 
The multifunctional corgi now also works as a table for your laptop. Easy to carry around as it fits in a standard car and runs mostly on kibble.
 
 
 
 
 

 
Paint me like one of your french bulldogs. 
 
 
 
 

 
They said I could be anything, so I became a fusilli pasta (what is this spine you speak of?)

That would be the biggest mess trying to hold all of that information in a single thread. News on an entire year's worth of a band's activities, you don't want to imagine trying to filter through that. Most of those bullets don't even have any extra info in that thread, or belong in that thread anyway. Events, tours and such go in the event news forum. Having separate threads for the big items on that list makes it much easier for people to find that is relevant to their interests. 

I'm willing to hashtag #freeAkn lol

^ i think lynch. has somehow gotten into a three-way tie for biggest fishing nerd now, lmao
 


oh god AK i miss u so much already ;_;
 

Pretty sure its Asanao that's the fishing enthusiast haha. 

^thank you so much~!! ;u;
 
new stuff:

forget me

Wataru's original charge was assault and the fact that he settled out of court seemed to help him, they didn't really see a decline that was caused by his case imo. (hilariously for me 12012 was the band I stanned before lynch. so this whole arrest thing is getting old now...) as for how much an anti-social/societal act impacts things, it really depends on the nature of the act -- if we presume Sankei Sports' source is legit and then further presume it was just possession it's kinda hard to say,  while celebs in Japan are getting nailed for kakuseizai/meth all the time and many of them do resume activities, we have only a small sample size in VK: Daishi (unknown sentence for kakuseizai), Imai Hisashi (6 month sentence for LSD), sakura (2 year sentence for kakuseizai)...  I can't think of anymore. + their cases are pretty varied, clearly.

anyway tanuki has devolved into"he stole a fishing boat (because he loves fishing) (LEL GOTTEM BOIS)" and "he LYNCHED SOMEBODY GET IT??????" and there was a weird Elvis-sighting type of rumor so i doubt anything solid is going to come out of them anytime soon

Of course it depends on the band. On their status, professionalism, signed contracts, inteligence of the band members etc. Lynch. is not just a random indie lame band that like 20 people know about them, they can't behave like nothing happened. They have too much to lose and I'm not talking only about money, causing problems to others and losing face is much worse for Japanese. 

You guys who say they can just replace him and go on don't really understand how the Japanese society works. It's "you ride together, you die together". 
When Meto from Mejibray fell out of that window, it was the other three members crawling on their knees, begging for forgiveness and understanding from both the management and the fans and that was just an 'accident' ( yet self-inflicted, because drunk. So -> shame! )
Think of that one girl (I think from AKB or so?) who got caught sneaking away from a guy's home and shaved off her hair in public and nothing about that is illegal. 
If lynch. just continued, everyone would consider them highly inappropriate and rude. You have to publicly show remorse and step back. Has nothing to do with being dumb or not finding a bassist that quickly. It's the shaming-inappropriate-behavior mentality of the Japanese.
 
Yepp, us Westerns can't understand. We have fans who get angry if Justin Bieber does NOT perform after being caught with a blunt and I think there were some metal bands where members were convicted with serious crimes like murder and still toured until the last minute.
It's really just two different worlds colliding and @cvltic explained it perfectly. In terms of 'public decency' Japan shows no mercy and this is where their audience is located at.
 
I personally have tickets for their lives in March so ... I hope they'll be back on track until then... 

i don't think you understand how pissed their fans would be for just ignoring it. especially since the canceled shows were mostly their fanclub only shows. i would find it very inappropriate and fucking depressing to run the anniversary show without everyone there....
it was way too short notice to get anyone for COMMUNE, CDJ is a huge mainstream event that wants nothing to do with a band who's been on every dumb 2ch tabloid site in the last 24h under headlines like "tattooed bandman gets arrested! drugs? yakuza? sexual assault? hazuki's ex. gf is [prolific gravure model turned prostitute]!" with a bunch of people posting over and over about how he should have been arrested just for being tattooed in the first place.
also i know this hard to believe but they may actually like Akinori and be more concerned about trying to help him with his problems. weird but true

They are pausing activities to appear apologetic and to take responsibility? It would be in bad taste to continue as if nothing happened,  or something. It's a cultural thing, not first band nor last done that. 

He gon' get lynched. 

How's is doing drugs antisocial behavior ?
People become good friends by doing drugs together.
 
And this hiatus is bullshit. Just keep playing without him and play the basslines on the speakers or something like that, while looking for a replacement.
 
Same shit. No big deal.

akn has been their support bassist for some time,
and as soon as they announced he'll be permanent member during "mirrors",
i was screaming in joy! i loved him, he suits lynch perfectly.
 
they can have their time,
shit, they needed their time so they dont copy-paste another new album anymore.
i think this will be a good moment to re-assess themselves and comeback with a new image.
 
just dont, never cut him loose.
free akinori!

It does, in 2017

Not all of us here are j literate :<

Tbqh I wouldn't care if they disbanded now because nothing they have been doing recently was very impressive. Or maybe they're getting too old to really sound or look fresh. Kinda feel sorry for Akinori though. I quite like him.

From what Shuu's said that's exactly the kind of project he's looking for... 
 
I wonder if it'll come to firing him though, or they'll just take a small break and try to come back like nothing happened.

I liked how lynch. dropped their VK look and became a 5-piece band with Akinori in 2010, but I don't care much about him personally.
I know that HAZUKI could play bass in the studio, so technically the band is not ruined and can continue just like when they were a 4-piece band.
But of course for a band that barely changes the lineup in their music career, losing a core member sucks anyway.
 
Is it possible to see Shuu (ex-Girugamesh) joining lynch.?
 

The band can just go on without Akinori. I was a fan of them before Akinori joined anyways and his presence has always been neglectable to me.
