And that is the mentality that ruins Visual Kei for a lot of average fans who are simply there to enjoy the music and don't want to dive into the private lives of these musicians. Can you honestly be bothered by pictures of a guy captured at a girl's house? What does this prove? That he probably likes to have sex, bother! Whatever someone does in their private life doesn't concern me. If I enjoy the music, I honestly don't care who it's written or performed by. If they take drugs, are alcoholics, addicted to sex, it does not matter. But in Visual Kei it's high priority to figure out if your 'husbando bandoman' slept with someone other than you, and if they did, they are perpetually despised.
 
If everyone was so bothered by these antics then we wouldn't have music. The greatest musicians on this planet slept with thirty girls a week and were constantly high on drugs. But who eventually cared? Their family and friends, yes. But that didn't mean they couldn't produce the most incredible music currently existing.

Let me tell you something, i think you guys understimte Tanuki importance on Visual Kei scene.
90% of the fans read it. Most of them take it serious.
 
You know Visual Kei scene is not all about music, right? The fans see them as their "ideal men" and thats why they follow and support them.
If a member get shit exposed, especially with proofs like screen shots and even pictures they lose popularity realy soon. Many bands disband because of it. Many members have to leave the band because of it.
 
Talking about SAN, i like his as musician and i thnk he looks good. But sadly, there's TOO MUCH shit about him there. Too many pictures exposed.
He will always be known as a "shitty boy", so hardly he will get new fans. Also, old BFN fans could also be ashamed to support a band where he is. Its a really important factor to them. I think putting SAN on the band was a really, really bad decision. They can't get bigger with him there.
 
Sadly thats how this industry works, and honestly, what we think or not is not really important because oversea fans doesn't mean nothing for them

cuz it's not their faves. 
 
yet
 
(i agree with u tho)

Haha 15 fans... well in the meanwhile they got much much more fans.
Onemans are filled well.
So many people wrote that the disbandment annoucement was a big big shock.

I wouldn't say ignored. I would say "flew under the radar".
 
You gotta look at the big picture here @Trombe. You have almost 30,000 posts. That's over three times as many posts as @Jigsaw9, who is in second place. You have so many posts I have to keep making new user ranks for you so you can continue to promote. We could do a better job of liking your news posts, but members also have a certain amount of likes they can grant in one day. You also have more likes than everyone else so I had to make new reputation ranks as well. You have so many posts that if we were to actually respond to all of your news articles, it would be even more confusing to keep up with the current news. The sleek, minimalistic look of news posted back to back like you linked above makes it super easy to connect the dots and we don't have to wade through pages of comments to do it. You can't do that to the GazettE for example.
 
Some news articles promote more discussion than others. Some are really just for reference. Both are incredibly useful. Don't think we aren't reading because we aren't commenting. Sometimes there just isn't much to say.

they have some sort of survey going on
why do they act like they dont know whats wrong with the new design? god
 

That better only refer to the individual members wishing to stay within the scene, one way or another.
 
I do not want to see Lycaon continue, enough is enough.

By the oficial announcement i thought it was just a hiatus, but by reading Ice blog i also think its a disbandment. He says he doesnt want to sing there anymore, and is saying stuff like "lets have fun until the end", so i guess theres no return. Maybe they come back with a new vocalist, but Ice is my favorite member

their members have mentioned that after finishing their 4th anniversary one-man live at 2015/11/01, they consider that it is right timing to pause activities and take opportunities to reconsider their attitude towards music, as they have "skipped" their conflicts during their 4-year activities, and then they come to conclusion to try to "re-form as new Black Gene For the Next Scene", but it appears that Vo.Ice is reluctant to continue band activities

Divergences between the members ? 
 
Ice wanted more abs and Rame did not agree because he wanted more wigs ? best reason I see for going on hiatus

Kiwamu knows how to break bands....
I'm sure its because of him.
Maybe I will go to their last oneman.

Commander Qual retiring from active duty?! You shall be missed.

So.... every time they lose a member, they're going to change their name?
auncia loses yosuke, so they become ANSIA.
ANSIA loses Aki, so now they are NIA.
 
"NIA" = three members?
Or are they getting a new bassist?
 
I was really liking them as ANSIA....
and this is being a fan of theirs as auncia since 2006.
 
Wonder if their sound will change much?
What? Are they gonna become metal cuz that's in? lol

Now's the time for Maria Cross to make it big! Finally!!

Needs a "burn it in a fire" option.

Hizaki is the Koori no naka no shoujou 

I want to say one thing, I actually really like Tenten and didn't really like this project but to one previous comment I want to say that 3 to 4 years shouldn't be a good thing it should be expected, it's like saying "my parents never got divorced that's pretty good right" I really do think Tenten has the ability to be outstanding but I think we all know that he clearly is either hard to work with or there is just something really wrong and horrible to be around. I hope he finds a project where he can truly shine and be as good as we all know he can be I just hope he doesn't keep ruining bands and at this point we should all admit that's it's him ruining the bands. Let's all just krep supporting him and hope things change.

This is embarrassing. 

AWAKE Gt.YUKIO, who has been absent at their live at HOLIDAY OSAKA at 2015/10/25, has departed and retired for band activities at 2015/10/22 as he would like to devote to his work to support his family

Wow lol. I wonder if this will be on a punk goes pop japan edition at some point.
