herpes got a reaction from Seimeisen in cali≠gari new album "12" release
yes. it's fantastic. however most of their discography is. Depending on what you like most, check out dai7 (jazz), dai6 (funk), dai5 (almost gothy). 5 and everything before has their first vocalist (shuuji 1), who is much more punk influenced/dark sounding - however shuuji 2 re-recorded pretty much all the back catalogue when he joined.
(Just stay away from 10 + 11 and you'll be fine.)

do you have any idea of how expensive recording studio equipment is or the expertise required to mix and master? anyone can record at home but it's gonna sound like you recorded at home.
being a working musician is a full time job. you can't hold down a 9-5 and be travelling the country whilst soundchecking/publicising/practising/recording/mastering throughout the day and playing gigs at night.

a lot of musicians love performing. but even more musicians love eating and being able to pay rent.
how dare these musicians charge us, the fans!, for taking time out of their schedule to pretend to be interested in hugging you.

crowdfunding is the future, while it is open to abuse, it pretty much self-regulates as most fans aren't willing to be stung twice on musicians who promise and don't deliver or musicians who con (amanda palmer). crowdfunding gives fans a chance to help from the ground up new music/live tours/etc - and I hope it'll be really embraced within the vk community in japan after this as a way of getting overseas fans to finally put their money where their mouths are with complaining about accessibility to music.
however i won't be contributing to alice nine's as they are trash

herpes got a reaction from saishuu in Kill=Slayd new album "Costa Nostra" coming this summer
Toki just announced it on his blog. The "last and best" album will be made solely by him, he hasn't contacted the other members as (he's an egomaniac) one has retired, he's lost contact with the others and he was responsible for 90% of their music anyway. (Paraphrased).

Please do not look for solutions to problems we complain about because then that will make us look bad + get rid of that crutch used to justify feeling entitled to free music.

I think crowdfunding can definitely be done right. A while ago the VK band Lacroix Despheres started up an indiegogo campaign for their 3rd album. It was going to be released either way, but they were raising money in order to increase the album budget and hopefully work with Video Game Orchestra to get a live orchestra on their new album. I ended up tossing in $35 to get a signed CD and some goodies, which I though was a pretty fair price. Unfortunately overseas VK fans are uber cheap and they only got a total of 33 backers with an average amount of about $35 per person totaling up to $1140(with ~$6131 donated through the Japanese crowdfunding site MotionGallery). Now they didn't end up hitting their goals to record with a live orchestra. I guess you could say that the campaign "failed", but they still get that money to help increase the production values, which is good.
The way I look at crowd-funding stuff like this is just a glorified pre-order system where you get to choose your own pre-order bonus. I think it's a great system for smaller bands who can't get the backing of labels, but still want to do the best that they can. Honestly, I would absolutely love it if more indie VK bands would jump on the bandwagon.
