So.. we can literally just type up a random thought? Ooh, this is my kind of place!

... Oh, just remembered, I should really do some coursework...

Definitely any and all of Gackts' ballads. I cry every. God. Damn. TIME. Especially with Flower. For some reason, the translation of that song kills me every single god damn time! I hope you don't mind me copying and pasting the lyrics (with link to original post of course), I just wanted to show you what I meant, since it's about loss and love and just so touching (just the last part of the song, not going to kill you with a wall of text, hopefully ><):

Also, after reading about what created The GazettE's' (I KNEW I kept spelling it wrong, thanks digitalbounce, my damn use of the only language I know is shocking) Taion, I can't listen to it without feeling so sad and dreadful. It's also the same feeling I have with Dir En Grey's Higeki Ha Mabuta Wo Oroshita Yasashiki Utsu, since I read somewhere it was written in dedication to a fan who commited suicide.

It probably appears I've just written three songs I think are just plain sad but really, I personally feel the reason why the artists had written them is the reason why I hold them very close to my heart. In memory of someone, dedication. I can't help but feel even more melancholic when I listen to such tracks. (I have probably left out so many, sorry) 

I remember when I was totally obsessed with Mr Simple, they are kick ass! So much energy! I really can understand why they're so popular. Good on them. They are actually the only group I've managed to speak about to someone in real life with because she adores them. Because of Kayes' comment, I'll be checking out Super Junior M. I noticed they had.. sub.. groups? (Probably wrongly labelled, sorry) Still not enough for all the fans I bet! My first Korean boy group and will always be the catchiest in my opinion due to that haha.

Happy they're coming over for all the fans again, but the only thing that upsets me is how people will only focus on one particular group, even if they are different for whatever reason. I actually listen to BABYMETAL at times, and I enjoy it, and I think it is unique because it's a new, fresh idea, mixing two genres together. I know laods of bands do this but damn, is this rather special haha. But what I'm trying to get at is, I have a few friends who have heard and even listen to BABYMETAL, but that's it. Nothing else. They won't even try any of the other sub groups of the cute girl groups in Japan, or try the harder sounding metal groups we all love. Not being a hater at all, just me letting of some thoughts. It just upsets me when groups get the spotlight when others who try just as hard or even harder don't get as much recognised. But I guess it happens all the time.

Anyway, most have already hit the nail on the head with great explanations about their popularity, I just wanted a say too, they're doing very well anyway. Oh and, RoseOfHizaki, and anyone else, have a fabulous time seeing them! 

I've always absolutely adored Jins' vocals, no matter how aggressive he sounded or 'over the top' it was (over the instruments I mean, since I read a couple of times fans didn't like how loud he was). So I was thrilled when I saw he'd be in a new band. Their first release I really enjoyed, so I'm looking forward to seeing more from them and, hopefully, Jin'll keep improving so everyone can listen happily. 

I love how experimental this band is, even though they have had some ups and downs. Satoshi has always impressed me with his vocals and the band as a whole, even though they sound rather 'western' (<- might be a wrong term I'm using, sorry) at times, I am still always impressed by them. Really happy to have seen fans enjoying MONSTER and upcoming releases so much! Better keep updated with them, missing out on so much urg!

I only have one album of theirs, but it's awesome to see them still going and checking up on them, even though I was a really late listener to join in on it. I always find it hilarious when I say I enjoy listening to them because people joke I'd get trampled on in a live with them since I look like someone who'd never listen to metal at all or go near scary looking masked men. xD Always love a new change, the masks are awesome and I can't help but love any metal.

Welcome to MH! Love the sig, yay for another Lycaon lover! <3  I also see you like Plastic Tree, another awesome band!

 

Don't be scared ^^ we are nice, most of the time. Hehe.  I followed you on tumblr and added you on last.fm lol.

 

Have fun!

We NEED a Lycaon party already! I never even realised how many fans there were on here of theirs! <3 I'm really happy we all have similar tastes and I can chat this much now, I'm not regretting joining. Haha, most of the time? Wow, you followed me? >< It's so plain at the moment on both things, sorry, hope I don't disappoint. You're my first friend on both. xD Thank you for having me, please continue your participation here and have fun too!

Welcome, there's a lot of nice people here, you'll fit right in.

I finally feel like I do, I've never typed so much/so quickly before haha. Thanks so much for having me too and giving me a lovely welcome too, I really mean it!

Welcome to MH! I hope you enjoy your time here. No need to feel self conscious, we're all different types around here. I feel some of your pain about posting in a new forum. I was a member here for years and only lurked about. Maybe 4 years before I ever said anything besides "thank you!" ...

I see you like D'espa and DELUHI. I love them too. <3 Also, do you mind if I add you on last.fm? I'm always looking for more friends there (I'm nosey and like to see everyone's music taste hehe). ^^

YES I was also on one of their concerts, in germany ^^ & I'm always happy so hear about other Lycaon fans ^^ yeeah! I'd like to speak with you too

I see you like AvelCain, Awoi, (started to listen to them a few days ago) & D'espairsRay *-* I think we'll get along well!

I remembered correctly, thank god! Aha, I feel like the fanbase is so positively big when I see reactions/comments from others, and it makes me even happier hearing others' experiences seeing them live. Like I asked paradoxal, would you mind telling me anything about the live when you're free? Because I've never been to one, I just would love to hear/read about it! What? This feeling is mutual? Oooh, thank you, such a freak, sorry (and this wall of text, sorry) YES GIRFRIEND, YES. Awoi are one of my top ones! I'd marry Otogi's and Karma's voices haha (I think I have a voice fetish or something urg). I'm really delighted to read that, thank you. (I don't know if this has been asked, I'll check before coming back here but, because I'm new, am I still able to thank everyone on this thread and not leave anyone out? Like, no limitations?)

I can understand you pretty much it's not easy when you live around people who don't share the same interest as you

and you can't talk to them about new bands, releases, etc. but it's nice to see that you took the first step to introduce yourself

and I'm sure everyone here welcomes you I hope you'll enjoy your time here and I'm certain that from time to time

you'll get more open minded to leave a comment here and there ^^ btw I LOVE you're Yuuki gif <3 ! you like Lycaon?

and Mejibray too? *-*

I really love just reading discussions on here and last.fm because I really don't know anyone who have even heard of any Japanese bands. And I want to feel like I can join in, even though I'm not exactly the most intelligent listener in the scene and such. I just want to have fun like you all have, and I really didn't want to be too late coming on in here. Thanks so much for being this kind and welcoming, really. I hope everyone doesn't mind, my messages really can be the dumbest things on the planet. -.- I really will try, still shocked I'm even here and typing (and shaking urg, such a potato, sorry) I'll take all this on board and try to be more confident, I'm happy just being here on this part and chatting! OH NO, no, no, not my gif. >.< It took me forever to get one that fit and it's not even mine. *runs to edit* Sorry sorry. LOVE Lycaon, they're my favourite looking (not being shallow, I love their music too, I mean their image as a VK band), their style is my favourite of all the groups (tied with Mejibray actually, because of Meto ) Yes yes, you're also a fan, correct? I remember (my memory is shocking by the way, I only hope I'm not embarresing myself already) you had commented/posted about the bands and I squeeled. I just thought, 'horray, another fan!!' and wished to speak with you. ><

Welcome to MH! Haha it's so nice that you decided to start being more active online! Please join us in the chat sometimes, we are fun (sometimes) and we don't bite  I have been an active member here since last December and I have gotten soooo many friends already! Just be active and talk to people, i'm sure you'll find a lot of new friends (at least I think so ;_ here.

 

What are your favorite bands? I checked your last.fm but you didn't have too many scrobbles yet. My favorites are Lycaon and アルルカン! I see that you like Lycaon too, welcome to the club! There are a lot of active Lycaon fans in MH!

 

 

Edit// And btw, did you attend any of their concerts on their European tour? I was at their Helsinki concert and I loved it so much!

Hello! I know this sounds really lame and all but, words can't express how grateful I am for your reply, because I was so nervous! So thank you! Oh, I'm allowed to join the chat, just like that? I found the site only a few months ago but I remember also seeing you and reading your comments. You're great! I'll definitely come on as often as I can, it's just.. I know I'm so embarrassing and silly. -.- But I'll try for once, thank you for the encouragement. Plastic Tree is my all time favourite, I just have a thing for the completely out there looking bands, like Mejibray and Lycaon. Other favourites are Deluhi and D'espairsRay (because of their voices man!) and Awoi and AvelCain, I'm so smitten by them both too. (Am I allowed to ask the same question back on here?) ...I also ran away from last'fm when I made it in January.. >< I saw people commenting on other people's accounts and felt very scared.. I have a phobia even on here of talking but I can make a wall of text, what!? Ah, yay, go Lycaon! I'm happy to hear that since I've read a lot of hate about their newer sounds. Still, gotta love their energy! I don't go outside at all apart from having to go to the dentist (braces..), so when a band does come over, I'm too scared to go out and see them. Maybe when I'm older. You did!? I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to hear anything about it if you're free some time! I try to watch as many documentaries/live perfomances on the internet as I can so it feels like I'm there at least.

Oh my god, re-reading my message and I've got so many typos, sorry about that! 

The last physical CD I bought was Slipknot's Vol.3 (I know, I'm so late... and sorry, I can't take photos ><), but my last last purchase was Versailles' Anthologie album, since I couldn't decide which album to get of theirs and I was only allowed one so...

So, well, I've wanted to join here for quite a while now, but have never had enough confidence to do it. I've actually, just today, decided to join as many social community things (sig..) as I could to try to socialise with the people I want to talk with more (even though I have no clue how to do ANY of these stuff on the internet....), but seeing as I known no one where I live who likes VK and Japanese music in general. So that's why I've decided now to join up here, in a random moment of feeling both scared and excited... So please go easy on me if I say something dumb or wrong, I just want to join in with you guys. There's too many awesome people here so, even though I'm shaking, I'd like to chat with you all as much as I can and make friends and just chat about what we all love.

So thanks for reading my pretty dumb introduction, hah, don't let me bore you, run along now or I might just be overwhelmed if anyone replies. xD Anyway, enjoy your day and see you around (love reading comments from everyone so I'll still probably stay on the sidelines still anyway xD) Aha, well, take care and everything.
