Hearing the full song i liked it a lot more! Plus that sibling connection on stage is pretty damn cute.

^ fun at parties, I suppose.

To make "don't delve into personal J-rocker lives pls, you dirty freak" voices quieter, I'd state the main wafflesy purpose of this thread: while the world of vk and JAYRAWK had tons of similar characteristics when compared to its much more grandiose Western counterpart a.k.a glam/makeup-lashing, angst quintets/quartets and god knows what, we've been given way too conservative, perhaps even stereotypical image about how these Japanese rockers have rolled. What the heck?
 
There is just not enough dirt in the world of Japanese distorted earrape music!
 
I can totes bet that your J-favs (and mine) are anything but fandom's little sweet bishonen/bishoujo angels - how come there were no stuff or suspections involving e.g. vk bandomen reaching some severely dazzled extremes while partying or even just gigging around?
 
Not that anyone might be pleased or willing to contribute, but let's try reviving this section anyway:
 
Have you ever heard about possible drug bust cases or just widely spread suspections involving vk or J-rock bandomen being way too "shady"? Feel free to push forward, get amazed or just throw crap at pseudo-tanukists like me, sniff.
 
 
I will start by stating popular drug cases (note: not Johnnys):
 
- Sakura (ex-L'Arc~en~Ciel)
This chap has been the main catalyst AND the final nail in the coffin of L'arc's "definitely vk" career. Why's that? Him getting charged for heroin possession around late 1997 has ended up L'arc spending their necessary "no-public" hiatus in order to get their shit together and come back with more palatable sound. Come to think of it though: he gets very rare (or even none) mentions whenever L'arc has their chronology up on TVs or such, ouch.
 
- Hisashi Imai (BUCK-TICK)
About similar-ish case happened to this legendary vk-related (if we could call him that way) guitar virtuoso /quirky composer except that it was in 1989 and he was sentenced for LSD possession! Frankly speaking this didn't affect band that much sound-wise, phew.
 
also, I am still on the fence whether I should consider 2ch inspections of Kiyoharu (yes, that Kiyoharu) being involved when it comes to drug ventures - just go asking around 2ch and you might actually get rhetoric questions in the vein of "why he ain't caught yet?", lol.
 
 
ps. is TZK is a stoner???

Shame. They had potential.
Also, I don't think they're that new. vkdb says they formed in 2013. About the average vk band lifespan.

What a shitty piece of technology. How can one product have so many security holes? The sooner Flash dies the better...

Can't wait for them to come back in a month signed to -ains- :-*

They weren't going anywhere anyway... tragic.

true

is  not really surprising and we didn't hear much from them during the past months..it's sad tho but  as MidnightChaos said,they weren't going  anywhere anyway.I hope the vocal(forgot the name sry xD) takes time to think about what he wants to achieve in his next band(if he doesn't retire in the end)

About time, they were really digging their own grave since they joined starwave... still, was hoping they'd somehow come back with something decent.

グリーヴァ(Grieva) Gt.陽-Haru- & Dr.優冴-Yu-go- will resume live performance at their live at TSUTAYA O-East at 2015/10/25
