Eniver made me cry so hard........ Seriously. 
Also Sana crying on U -smeh-.... <3 Ugh, i just love this band too much 

Nope!

I think I'd drop a few comments to this conversations since I have been together with my fiancé for over 4 years.
 
I don't think that being 'picky' is a good thing when it comes to relationships, nor deciding if someone is relationship material only based on your common interests. If I had been too picky or only cared about the number of our common interests, I would have never ended up with the love of my life.
 
I actually met him as a high school sophomore because I took a senior Finnish class. I heard him talking about external hard drives, and asked what kind of external hard drive he's gonna get. He isn't extraordinarily handsome, tall or charismatic. I wouldn't probably have even noticed him, if it wasn't for an old scar in his short-haired head that is currently just a small bald spot (skating accident haha). I actually asked him "what is that whole in your head", and then we started talking.
As it turned out, he is into cars, American rap (west side yooo), Dire Straits, motorcycles, computers and gaming. Back then I was into visual kei, k-pop, dancing, fashion, make up, hair extensions. We had zero things in common, but still we hit it off and have been together ever since. I love his humor more than anything, and he got me really into cars. I wrote an essay about electric cars in my physics finals, because I had been babbling about how much they suck. I started liking the things he liked, and vice versa.
 
Moral of the story? Don't be too picky. Don't be ridiculous and date only people who are at least THIS tall, have that kind of hair, that kind of eyes or people who like the exact same things you like. 

I don't see much of a difference except for physical distance and the possibility to meet. The idea that online buddies are better friends is a total lie. We all have priorities. And for most people online buddies is not first priority. Though part of it is that what you get is what you give. 
Recently though I've been pleasantly surprised to see people I've met (mostly from school) whom I could say I barely know, treating me a lot better.

DOWNER was a great band and best of luck with completing the discography. I'm on the hunt to finish lix 

nice selection i'm currently working my way through DOWNER's discography but it's pretty huge and i think i'll go broke before amassing all their cds XD

My collection is super tiny as of right now but it will grow. 

Something like this
 
BugLug heidi. GalapagosS ADAPTER。 cali≠gari 12012 SIVA Rentrer en Soi Deadman Golden Bomber

Zekka (絶華) by DOWNER (ダウナー)
The CD came yesterday and I've enjoyed the mini-album so far. It also came with a trading card of the vocalist. 

Dr.Rem(ex-Diement.-->Vanish, now オトイロハ(otoiroha)(support), マーブルヘッド(marblehead)(support), Lieselotte(support)) will commence to act as their support Dr. since their first live at Takadanobaba AREA at 2015/02/15
 
 
btw they are in the process of PV shooting

I was able to get a brand new copy of Lynch's "The Avoided Sun" First Press.
Do I open it?? -____-

Hey guys,
 
Are there ever circumstances for you, where you feel, or even just think, that there is no point supporting an artist, or that your money is used in unscrupulous ways anyway?
 
For example, I used to love a certain band, but they started making music that I didn`t like. In any case, I felt as if they were a band that I always loved, and I would always give a chance to / stick with.
But... In this case, they are putting out music I think is bad first off, and second, when I looked at the frontman`s blog, I saw him taking pics of his expensive clothes and leather jackets... Including just taking pics of the tags on clothing or bags from expensive stores...
 
Isn`t it kind of wrong to you? Basically you are inadvertantly helping this guy buy stupid stuff he doesn`t need, and he is showing it off in vain ways to you, the fan... And what if I were vegetarian or vegan for example? I`m paying for leather jackets...
 
Then they post pics of smoking or drinking... And I am inadvertantly paying for that... Or even drugs, as some VK bands do, and may famous Rock bands have or still do. Eric Clapton snorted away millions, reportedly, and even started selling his guitar collection for more...
 
Or if the artist is really popular already, you are paying someone that makes more than you already.
But of course, if everyone followed this, the artist would go broke again (possibly).
Don Henley (Drummer and Vocalist of The Eagles) said once that many people have this kind of wrong sense of entitlement with art in any case, where they think art and expression should be free to you. But in the end it is a product, and it is made of hard-work and often passion.What do you think of this?
 
Then there is another way of viewing it, as a girl once told me whence explaining why she didn`t buy cd`s... She said something like less than a dollar actually goes to the artist... But in any case even if paying execs and studios, you still have to pay anyway for the artist to thrive, right?
 
Let me know what you think.
 
(DISCLAIMER: NOT ALL VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS POST ARE NECESSARILY MY OWN, I AM SIMPLY LISTING EXAMPLES FOR DISCUSSIONS SAKE IN SOME CASES.)

Here we go with my favorite band!

Sure, if I met someone that really felt like the right person, I definitely would. No kids, though.

Why should anyone need to feel bad about growing out of a music genre? That's like feeling bad about not watching Barney anymore. Different things are bound to appeal to you at different points in your life.

Congratulations! You have realized how shallow the depths of visual-kei is. Now feel free to look beyond the lake that is visual kei and move into the ocean of alternative J-music.
[/sarcasm]
But in all honesty, the reason why we split the download forums into two is precisely because of users like you - people that tire of visual kei music but not necessarily Japanese music and are looking for a bit more. Don't limit yourself because of labels or phenomena or "omg what would zess think!?!?!". If you don't like visual kei anymore, look elsewhere. I guarantee you there's plenty of music in Japan alone to keep you occupied.

^ both are excellent shows, their manga counterparts are also very good

I recently started watching Claymore along with GANTZ. I'm proud to say that I like both of them so far ಠ◡ಠ

Seriously. You. Should.
 
I mean, HEY! Nice to meet you and welcome
Nice bands by the way!

Hello everyone, I literally just signed up for Monochrome Heaven and I thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself. 
I found this website by searching for J-rock communities by the way.
I'm a pretty easy going person, go with the flow, quiet most of the time but I'll give my thoughts here and there.
 
From the Japanese music scene I mainly listen to the following bands but I'm looking to widen my band list:
exist†trace, DELUHI, THE KIDDIE, UNiTE, the GazettE, girugamesh, Canzel, Golden Bomber, Gremlins, DELACROIX, SLOD, Royz and Mejibray.
 
I hope to have a great time and meet a wide variety of people to discuss and develop anything related to the Asian music culture or European even American too ╰(°ㅂ°)╯

Congrats!! You've found the right place!! ╰(°ㅂ°)╯
Welcome to the forum.

Yessssss, you won't regret it!
 
Also +1 for Canzel, DELACROIX and Royz!
