    I used to play yugioh but then they added all these new summoning methods and it just became too convoluted. 

    Same. I loved the game and it just lost me over time with all the summoning, super long effects set in like 2 pt. type, 12 star synchro monsters, etc.

    I still come back to it from time to time but I'm not into the super overpowered OTK shit. I miss the good old days ) :

    I get what u mean haha not every fan is friend material, I admit a fair portion of big vk fans (including me) are weird in various ways -_-  How'd u meet your friends? I'm assuming at a concert?

    All over, but no one at concerts strangely enough. Online usually I suppose.

     

    The weird thing is the amount of bands we've had here in AB and it still hasn't made a big dent or garnered interest. NoGoD, An Cafe, umbrella, NOIZ, and a bunch of VK indie bands, amongst other big acts like FLOW. It's super depressing actually.

     

    The people at these cons are usually all otaku, happy to be trapped in their anime abyss lol

    I live in Alberta, and I like to think I pretty much know everyone here who likes VK that's over 20 (and there's not that many of us lol) Whether I actually like them or not, that's an entirely different story ; )

     

    I have a group of about 6 friends that's into VK about as much as I am (mostly older bands, around the ten year mark) and have been for at least a decade, but it's hard to meet anyone new with the same interests in cowboy land, so I feel ya.

    Were they ever that big? I remember getting into them because of Kalimero, but after Panorama I pretty much "forgot" about them...I always thought of them to be in some kind (2nd)/3rd level in terms on popularity (in the scene) but maybe I underestimated them.

     

    I guess I will check this single too and as you I'm surprised they still releasing stuff :grin: but need to give them some credit for being out there more than 10 years and without line up changes.

     

    For the big fans...anything you recommend after Panorama?

    Back in 2010, they went major and did a couple 'anisongs' for the 'Kaichou wa  Maid-sama' anime. Both singles were on 'Senkou Mellow' album. Despite this being their most popular period, I think this (and the album that came after it, 'Alpha') was actually their weakest sounding era as a band, and they were demoted to indie status from what I recall from talking with fans at the time.

    As for popularity, I mean, they've played in the US at least 4 times and even did a European tour, but their fanbase always seems to stay relatively the same size (even in Japan, from what I can tell). At one time, they were popular enough to be doing the Hide Memorial Summit and headlining on VA albums, etc. It's really quite sad, because you can tell the guys really love what they do and have a really unique sound – Like you said, they haven't even had any member changes after 11 years playing together. I think they're honestly together because they know they have something special, not for any monetary reason (that's for sure)

    Since then though, I really think they've been focused on the quality of their releases. Ignoring the last single (which was a little generic IMO), 'Human' and 'Kaikou' (their latest albums) have some really good, solid material and rival their first 2 albums as far as replay-ability goes, for me personally anyway. And I LOVE those first 2 albums.

    I used to love these guys when they started, but they got too repetitive. Surprises me every time that they're still going because I only hear about them when they release a single. Are they still considered vk? 

    I would say so. They play with other VK bands, and while they have a toned-down look, Nao is always the most angura out of the four of them.

    I would rather have a band that delivers consistent work (That I know and have came to like) then flip flop all over the place, never really being good at anything. I think lynch. has progressed in a style that suits them best, and though most songs sound like derivatives of each other, they are still undeniably 'lynch.'

     

    This single may not be nothing new, but it's a solid banger, and it's better than most of AVANTGARDE imho

    Maybe they will restart under new identity, and ZMI was just to test before formal activities.

    In all case, a "superband" who is relatively quiet and who never released anything, I'm not surprised they disband.

    I hope you're right!
