      I would be fine with fundraising if it there was a guarantee that it wasn't used for booze and 2nd-rate pizza (he's not going to get backing)

      At the moment Yuuga manages KRAD, from what I heard

  2. Unpopular opinion: Popeye is the best oldtime Western cartoon ever.

    1. saiko

      saiko

      Fleischer cartoons were pretty psychotic

    2. robkun

      robkun

      Yesss. I’ve grown to really appreciate the early Fleischer Popeye cartoons in particular. Total cream of the crop.

      Sometimes one imagines that every past time was for worse, like for example, cartoon artists would have much less freedom than today and wouldn't ever think in adding clever or naughty twists into their cartoons... but hey, humans were and will be always humans. So I, as much as I love the Disney's late 20s and 30s, really appreciate the wild aesthetics of the Fleicher's.

  3. Soooo I just met Alex DeLarge himself, and I’m wrapping up the day with pizza from Pizza Hut. Best day in a loooooong time!!!

  4. Soooo, I was looking through the latest box of goodies I got, and apparently, a seller gave me some signed papers with some sentences written from Kisaki & the guys from Syndrome! I’m not exactly a superfan of the dude, and I know he’s an asshole and all IRL, but damn... cool shit! Lol

    1. robkun

      robkun

      Syndrome’s members were actually children? What a sick bastard.

  5. Wahahaha just saw an old VK dude try to play along with a 50-year old fangirl. Shit was great XDD.

      Basically, the 50-year old said she loves VK bands, and he awkwardly said something like “lol thanks”. Then she said where she lived and put up a creepy photo of herself. It was great loll.

  6. Watching about Japanese food on PBS cuz it’s 9:30AM, nothing else is on and I have insomnia =___= lol

      NHK World's (which was offered as a PBS channel where I went to college) "Begin Japanology" series is probably one of the best sleep aids ever, not because it's boring, but how oddly therapeutic the episodes are. Peter Barakan's voice + really smooth shots & transitions makes for some fascinating material. 

    2. robkun

      robkun

      Yeah, it was NHK. And it was definitely interesting background noise while I was doing some stuff.

  7. Gonna be seeing Tsu Shi Ma Mi Re for the first time in October and I’m fuckin STOKED. Been a fan of em for about seven years now, so I’m literally counting down the days XD.

    1. YuyoDrift

      YuyoDrift

      Saw them in Chicago a couple years ago. They were quite the trip haha.

      Have fun!

    2. robkun

      robkun

      No doubt! And some other Japanese band will be opening up, The Molice. Two for the price of one!! Lol.

  8. Sooooooo I just came across a photo of Yuuga's first ever band: the mystic Celestier o____o.

    1. Peace Heavy mk II

      Peace Heavy mk II

      Did he always paint his eyebrows like angry triangles?

    2. robkun

      robkun

      I would assume he’s in it, Takada. And it’s funny you say that, Peace Heavy, cuz the guy I think he is in the band looks frustrated XDD.

      Can you post it?

  9. I don’t know about all of ya, but I am PUMPED for that new Dubstar album. Shit’ll probably be album of the year to me.

  10. I highly recommend listening to Ace of Base on a cassette walkman while playing GTA III on the original Xbox. Shit is mystical as FUCK.

    1. robkun

      robkun

      Yeah. That poor 1 dollar cassette I bought at Goodwill lol.

  11. Ughhh Last.FM still fucks up with Metronome scrobbles. Still can’t scrobble anything from their “Unknown” release cuz then it won’t show up =___=“”

    1. Alkaloid

      Alkaloid

      Try changing the album tag to fullwidth unicode (Unknown). That worked for me when I couldn't scrobble DIMLIM's VARIOUS.

    2. Ruri

      Ruri

      oh THAT'S why that is? i knew last.fm was designed as though there would never be two bands or artists with the same name, ever, but I didn't know that could fuck it up too 😕

  12. Still digging the fuck outta Ize. Just found a copy of their only album for under 1000 yen, so I harped on it right away. Can’t wait to dig my teeth into it <3.

  13. I know I'm really late to the party, but goddamn Ize is amazing. I really should've looked deeper into them a few years back when I first heard of em. "Ark" is officially on my hit list.

      Indeed, Messenger! Lol

  14. After dealing with the god-awful wait of uploading files that are, like, 5GB, uploads that are only 200MB are absolutely nothing to me anymore XDD.

  15. At the risk of sounding like a “noob”, how the hell do you add the active years of a band to a Last.FM page? I don’t even know how to properly look that up lol.

    1. robkun

      robkun

      Suhweeet! Thanks for the heads up!

    2. Peace Heavy mk II

      Peace Heavy mk II

      I believe it also allows for you to do multiples, in case they came back. iirc the only thing that changes is that the second start date needs to be wrapped in [yearreformed] instead

      Quick follow-up question: do you put the code in the biography section?

  16. Missalina Rei is one of those rare VK bands whose sound is just as epic as their aesthetics.

    1. returnal

      returnal

      those first two mini-albums in particular... goth ne plus ultra

    2. Hohchicano96

      Hohchicano96

      "Fiancé(e)" from their last single is a damn journey.

    3. robkun

      robkun

      I still can’t believe the talent in that band. The fact that both Arisu and Aya shredded on the bass at some point just makes em that much more killer. Plus, in all of my masculine heterosexuality, I can confidently say that Arisu is kawaii as fuck.

  17. When someone has your demo and refuses/ignores to send it out to you =___=“”. Douchebags everywhere lol.

  18.  <—- Aaaand the award for best retro-sounding VK pop song goes to...

  19. Ohhh man do I have something awesome for all of you lossless/audiophiles out there. It's gonna take a while, but I think you all will enjoy the hell out of it. Stay tuned!

  20. Just saw my reputation is now at the level of flawless. Love y'all <3.

      This is the tape of the song, finally able to hear, thank you →Otogi (御伽) - Mihattatsu na XX to Mijuku na XX (未発達なXXと未熟なXX)

       

  21. Okay, I’m gonna tell you guys a lil story about my surgery that literally melted my soul and still makes me watereyed when I talk about it. Sooo this jaw surgery that I had was really, really tough. Lots of incisions, bruising, swelling, bleeding (which I’m in the roughest of at the moment =___=). Rough shit. Anyways, I’ve got a pitbull that was absolutely bummed when I had to spend the night at the hospital. When I get back home, the first night is hell, naturally. I’m all beat up, in tears, and I notice that my pitbull is literally in tears for how bad I felt. Never in my 22 years of life have I ever seen something like that. It was one of the most emotional times in my life since I am a huuuuuuuge animal fan/softie, so that literally is something I will never forget. I’m holding her right now thinking about it. But healing is coming together decently, I suppose, and I’m getting the bands that have my jaw shut loosened so I can eat shit that isn’t carnation breakfast and is real food. Thought I’d share that lil story though since it’s something that has been on my mind since it happened. Hope to be back on the uploading circuit again within a week or two, and thanks to everyone for reaching out with their get-well wishes! ^__^

      when my tonsills got removed I was k.o for almost 2 weeks.

      So i can imagine how freaking hurtfull this should be.

       

      get well soon buddy!

      It will become better soon, have a nice recover :)

  22. Something rather important I thought I’d let everyone know here. On the 1st, I’m getting an intense jaw surgery, so I’m not gonna be on for about a month. I may pop on every now and then, but uploads will be on an indefinite hiatus till around early March. I do have some more goodies lined up for around that time, and I plan on having a huge upload splurge when I come back. I’ll be on this weekend of the RH auction stream, and then the preparations begin =__=“. Just wanted to give a heads up and let everyone know since I don’t think I’ve ever been MIA that long on here before. So yeah, other than the RH stream, I’ll catch ya guys in March!!

  23. Wahahahaaa Wikipedia finally gave up (at the moment, at least) on genre-listing some Dir en Grey releases, and have been erased from the site all together. Way to bail, Wiki loll.

      some str8 deg fan probably got caremad and did iT

  24. Heya everybody! So after getting a few messages about this in the past, I finally decided to make my own blog! It's centered on softkei, and all of the rips will be done by me and my disc drive! Hope you guys dig it, and feel free to tell me what you think! Thanks!
