No spoilers? I'm saddened. I'm really hoping I enjoy the season. As long as it's full of drama for me to laugh at I should lol.

there have been no drinks thrown yet/accusations of sugar daddy drag ABUSE/laganjas yet so it might be a lil tame LOL

 

I've only seen the first couple of episodes so far but I am so going to catch up with it soon!! Thanks for making this thread. You're right, we totally needed it!

YAS catch up!! do it it gets hella interesting

Revisited this thread and just noticed your embed link

 

I must be a special snowflake since that "pseudo-glam rock-ish-grab-your-balls" scream @Decadence's chorus is what makes it memorable to me

 

iTSUKAAAAAAHRRRRRAHH

thats my favourite part of decadence and honestly it has some of my fav mejibray vocals

 

i kind of love biosphia and i especially love this song but the screamed vocals sound like complete and utter shit

yuuki has generally solid vocals (but kind of an awful range) but he does this BAK BAK BAK BAK and he sounds like a fucking death metal chicken smfh but it'd consider it a good WTF moment

there also so many random indiefag bands who cant sing to save their lives omfg

 

yahooo

 

 

 

window light was nice so selfies ensued 

what kind of daddy teas god damn y'all some good lookin ass people

 

 

I haven't actually had the time to watch any of s7 yet. I'm sure I'll binge watch it as soon as the school semester ends. But I love spoilers. Plz give me all of the spoilers.

 

S7 is a season worth watching because its honestly so unpredictable compared to previous years so I REFUSE TO SPOIL ANYTHING!!!! enjoy binge watching^^

i get the sense that a lot of this forum are closeted RPDR fans...i mean if you're already smitten with japanese cross dressing boys ur probably also a drag race fan!!!! wheres the lie?!!?!?!

 

its half way through the season so its safe to assume that everything on here will be a spoiler to everyone who hasnt seen season 7 yet (and probably 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and ^) so thread carefully

 

i think its safe to assume the use of spoiler tags for the recent episode until the next episode (so spoiler tags for ep7 until ep 8 comes out then talk freely) which gives everyone at least a week for a chance to catch up!

 

keep your shade friendly, and may be the best woman win!

 

#teamKATYA till the DEATH

Im still mourning the loss of max and while im happy trixie's back i will forever stan max
BRING THE BITCH BACK
jaiden should have gone home that week like wtf i know max royally fucked up but she's been overall incredibly consistent wtf

I actually like Moran and don't want him to quit. I just think that Moran's style has many limitations, so he needs something more versatile, like Sugar. Sugar was THE shit, because he managed to ggo crazy, mainly on lives and Moran is more like a melancholic high fashion act,so he can't be so wild.

i like em too but they shouldnt have sizna as a guitarist. i love his compositions for moran, but they're all in the shape of moran's already established sound so they dont have the sizna touch. like moran and sugar are literally night and day; sizna's technique in sugar was so much more interesting with the sexy gothic/jazzy sound and chords i've literally never heard before. and since that was basically his band i  want to know if he changed his style or he's suppressing it for moran's sake 

If we're talking lazy and boring, that award goes to the Obscure remake. It's so lifeless and empty compared to the original. The remake should have sounded like the performance in The Rose Trims Again.

im sorry but i loved the obscure remake ( its lazy as hell but tbh obscure needed the BR00TAL remake and while they didnt do much other than detune their guitars and sound more evil i think it works rlly well for a simple song like obscure. i think tsumi to batsu is a lil too weird and shifty to just metalify (??) like obscure

So i've come across in the realm of entertainment lines that i really liked or loved. so why not post them here?

 

TV: bates motel, norma bates: "but i'm not going to be the mom the who says i won' talk to your dad because i hate him because he raped me, that's not what parents do"

 

Music: Lycaon - 88 "are you ready, oh this song is for anyone fuck it" nega - neo destruction "this world begins to rot, imposters over flow all loss of real essence, destroy it"

 

games: soul caliber 3, satsuka "scatter and die"

 

ill add more later. what yours?

YES to the nega line

after that part comes on my neck literally snaps god that song is killer

the remake of tsumi to batsu is my least fav remake it sounds like lazy and boring doom

i like the original with the sharper vocals in these lives so YES

@ emmny: Rude--they're 2nd-rate at best!!

 

I said it wasn't a 1:1, which is part of why it worked for me. Additionally, if they also didn't ~borrow~ aesthetics and general atmosphere on top of melodies, I definitely wouldn't care about them as much or at all (see also: Vajra). This isn't just in regard to Grieva--I like Gossip and DEZERT's attempt at it as well, though the latter isn't as blatant. In some bizarre way, it also helped me appreciate the originals more. I don't hate Diru (in regards to the era in question), but I also don't think you're only allowed to like one.

 

Give them some credit for sticking to their guns though: for as many people that love them, there's just as many who vehemently despise them quite vocally as well.

 

 

Just out of curiosity, do you feel the same way about other bands who pretty much the same thing? Grieva is essentially the vkei equivalent of A*Teens. 

LOL im sorry i thought you said it was a 1:1 and they didnt give a fuck which is why you liked 'em. i clearly saw them as a 1:1 so sorry for the misunderstanding. i think the one thing grieva have going for them is their looks, and when they're not doing god awful suit-kei or whatever they look amazing (their current look is killer). i also do like how they're dark af but i think dezert and kuroyuri have a similar aesthetic going for them.

i think the other "revival" bands that are well liked on the forum do a good job, especially avelcain as i can hear a clear metalcore sound mixed with old school riffs. i just take fault with grieva because they do nothing with the source material.

 

are they as hated in the japanese fandom as in the western? i was surprised when i came onto here seeing how much people liked them because on their PVs is mostly comments with people like me picking apart what songs they've ripped off LOL.

 

in all honesty im a massive fan of revival bands, especially in western music. i think the old-school death metal wave that came a while ago was amazing, with bands paying equal homage as worship but doing something fresh which i loved. I also love some bands that inherently copy their predecessors (new shoegaze, post-rock) but thats because they dont rip a specific sound, just elements of it, ya feel? grieva copy riff per riff, melody by melody of a band which have a pretty distinct sound in their genre (im not an old school visual historian so correct me if im wrong). the way i understand it, dir en grey had a pretty secular sound within their scene, which is why i dont feel grieva can get away with simply "paying homage".

Yeah if you're overseas I understand that feeling. But when you're here, you pick up the crazy talk without realizing it. It's messed up my japanese, lol. But I don't really look at fytanuki, it's easier to find info on bands I want to know about+see if I've been mentioned by looking myself.

also, to be on topic:

nuppe's obsession with boobs has gone from amusing to gross at this point

yeah of course it must be pretty convenient when you can actually understand what goes on in the forums! (lucky you)

 

and also can i list gackt as problematic? partially cuz i hate him partially cuz he's probably a pathological liar

anyone else read the exerpt from his book on why he left MM and called bullshit the whole time? its probably my malice mizer fanboy speaking but im 99% sure its gackt who became money fixated lol it seems too wild to be mana/kozi/yuki's doing.

 

OHOH also his rumoured foreign lovechild in vancouver that one's really funny lmao

sorry to curb this ~emosh~ discussion toward grieva but i gotta talk

They revived when diru was worth listening to && brought back what made visual-kei good in terms of visuals. What made it work is that they didn't even remotely try to hide what they're doing and their music isn't a 1:1 cover with different lyrics. Plus it pisses of diru-stans and the amount of tears it created has been phenomenal. 

if thats what grieva fans enjoy then i'll just never get it

like why listen to a third rate 1:1 cover?? y'all hate dir en grey that much??

if they revived that sound with their own spin i would have been the biggest stan

to each his own, i guess.

will someone please stop visual kei bands

god why even...what kind of mess...

i hate kisaki and his trash so much that i think im starting to stan him

help

im subconsciously starting to do my makeup like his

HELP

Holy shit, Sizna singing ! IMO he's the most talented guitarrist in the VK scene. Not the best, but the most tatented for sure. He needs new projects, because Moran kind of limits his skills. i hope he keeps making music outside of Moran.

dont tell the moran fans!!!!!!

650 shipping from jp overseas? thats so reasonable (im assuming much, much better than the direct shipping from puresound)

yes iori and 2/4ths of sugar YAAASSS

It might not be said in those terms but it's hinted at on tanuki itself. If you are out of place etc people will be like "what are you, panpi?" and panpi are expressly forbidden (it's in the rules and I've actually taken the time to look at the rules page lol)

 

But yeah if you can't find it yourself you might be in over your head with tanuki... The slang is crazy on there.

 

(sorry getting a little off topic now)

i rely on fytanuki for all my guilty pleasure bandomen gossip needs

but i've tried and oh my god why bother with learning japanese those forums are so next level

shinya is so fucking MOE

their single sounds amazing, ice has such a sexy voice. the death growls could use some work though

i like hipster noise (pharmakon) and derivatives (tim hecker's louder stuff etc) dkm i have no clue how people listen to full on actual noise

WTF Japan get ur SHIT together!!!!!!!!! (((

thank you seimeisen!! is there a shipping calculator they have or anything of the sort?

That new and hyped Sufjan Stevens record is a summary of everything I strongly dislike about that sentimental singerysongwritery "indie" rubbish.

 

I really TRIED but failed to see what's so appealing.

coming from a long time sufjan fan (disclaimer: havent heard the new one) its kind of an acquired taste tbh. if you go into it with the mindset that indie rock/folk is annoying then it'll probably annoy you even more. i was a huge fan when i was younger so im a little too jaded to revisit his stuff really frequently but i think sufjans stuff is amazing when you look past the indie-isms ya feel
