LIN has the worsts setlists, always

I believe Kisaki wrote it correctly, once!

The post doesn't come across as confusing, it's pretty much straight forward and I think that anyone who has ever listened to heisei ishin knows very well of taku's passing. This could be interpreted as taku's spirit having an impact and therefore "presenting" the live.

メガマソ(megamasso) will be temporarily on hiatus for 1 year for "recharging" after their one-man live tour "ザファーストラストニムバス(the first last nimbus)" tour final at Shinjuku ReNY at 2015/12/16

"Why stop making art when you have a brain tumor? The best hallucinations come from brain tumors, why treat it?"
 
That's basically the same as what you're saying here because it could make him fall into a serious depression when left untreated and it's going to take a bit longer than a year for him to get out of that. Mental illness is a very serious issue and is more than "going crazy". People with a personality disorder are not crazy, in fact, there are many types of personality disorders that are hardly noticeable (for example, take an avoidant personality disorder; these people are usually just fine until they get into situations where they have to perform, both socially as academically). I'm pretty sure there is someone you know in real life that has a personality disorder without knowing they have it.
 
I think it's good that he acknowledged that he had a problem and is going to seek help. He could've gone on and denied he had a problem but that probably wouldn't have helped, both for his own health as for the band's group atmosphere. Once therapy starts to help him, he could already restart slowly again with band activities, so in cases like these I think it's really important that he's taking a break. Better a break than a disbandment, right?

I don't think they would appreciate that

I wonder if they will poke fun at modern vkei or what?

What do you mean?
Last.fm is supposed to be a service that relies on it's users. They fund themselves through aggressive and intrusive ads, CBS and the largely defunct and useless subscriber status which gives their users even more useless additional features. This isn't enough to fund larger scale activities partly because Last.fm was early to the party but made a bunch of core mistakes which stunted their growth and made them unable to capitalize on opportunities thanks to competitors Pandora and Spotify, who bankrupted their piggy bank of ideas. All in all, it's a dying service that had a niche in user-generated statistics over an extended period of time. There is no good alternative to last.fm in this way but even so they seem to not give a shit about what little services people are interested in, because the scrobbler is broken half the time and people have to invent hacks to keep their lists consistent, which by the way they just royally fucked up with this migration. The only thing I used last.fm for was to generate suggestions for me based on my personal library, because it's hard to find good services that match recommendations on visual kei bands. Scrobbling and keeping neat lists was secondary. And I got a lot of use out of the site in the last five years until they removed all the features I used and replaced them with inferior versions of them, if they still exist. There are all these new statistics but I don't care about them. Knowing the trend of artists I've listened to by genre is interesting visually, but unless this somehow improves my recommendations all the new visual additions don't justify the removal of all the old working features. I've had this problem with them for years and I remember the last time they did a minor overhaul of the site. Sure people complained but it wasn't this bad or this unanimous. And for some reason despite all the new features they dropped on us I don't see a single thing about improving the way that Last.fm matches artists together, which could use plenty of improvement IMO. Since everything I used the site for is gone and some half broken crap put in it's place, there's no point in staying with a half broken service run by developers that don't value user feedback because if they did they would have relented and reversed the site 24 hours after the "beta" launch. Even I didn't force the new skin on our users by removing the old skin, making it default, and then somehow breaking Monochrome Heaven in the first place all while telling you to quit your bellyaching, that the "Download" section would be back but not any time soon, and that there is no reversal option. I left you with a choice. The only thing that matters to them is the bottom line and that bottom line is how many people are using their service, how fast is their service growing or shrinking, and what can they do to maintain profits. If members, even free members, are leaving in droves that's bad press. It doesn't attract new people to the site. If enough people stop using Last.fm it will speak loud and clear and they can either decide to give us what we want or kill their service.
And perhaps some other website will come along and fill the demand for a website that delivers recommendations based on personalized user-generated listening habits that's organized well and is easy to use.

I too will stay. Despite the shit last.fm have pulled off with this half arsed action. But I really like my stats and couldn't dare to close my account. I rather let it die with the site. And call me crazy, but I still have some tiny little hope left for the site (or an alternative), even if it's just really small. But I really needed last.fm's huge database on bands no one has ever heard of except for maybe 1 or 2 people. And there is really no replasement for that yet. And it was really nice to go through others scrobbels to find new bands.
 
The band picture issue is a shame though, because I also like how last.fm was a nice place to collect bandpics.
 
Also I am glad that I have bookmarked all the bands (and their bandpages) I am interested in, instead of tagging them. Though it could be that the 0 plays artists might return, once they have re-installed the tags.

the site has been in a nosedive for the past 3/4 years, really don't know why people are so distraught about this. this shouldn't be a surprise

people upset about losing scrobbles like it's their PReP medication
