suji reacted to Tokage in Strange deaths in visual kei music
i literally have no idea who that even is, so if it was then it's a diss coming from the astral plane or some shit tbqh
Also @Zeus, to add to that, I sometimes wonder how many of these undocumented deaths may or may not be related to alcohol- or drug-related causes, 'cause god fucking knows there's been enough rock musicians from the western world dying due to accidental OD's and shit like that. I can especially see how that sort of thing could be seen as 'shameful' by the victim's families in such cases

Did he dabble in MMA? I was trying to find this release outside of spotify and a google search of his name came up with that link ...

suji reacted to Karma’s Hat in Visual Kei Archive Project
Most of the uploads on MH have already been dead for a while, and I guess this applies to the blogspots as well. I got used to it. Now you can find all the normiecore + some more from Jpopsuki and I appreciate that they got FLACs of all the essentials. The canon will be there for everyone to have, but the ultra rarez will now once more return to those who bought them and their friends. It's probably coming from a position privilege in this matter, but I don't mind that this shit isn't available for all the noobs to consume.

suji reacted to carddass in Visual Kei Archive Project
The links may be dead but with a quick PM to the original poster or the many people who downloaded it, I've found that you could often get someone generous enough to upload it again. I would say it worked for me 50% of the times here, not bad when I consider some of the downloads I asked about had been dead for years.
For the rarer/obscure releases, the dead link on these pages aren't so much of the tragedy to me, it's often the information by the original poster and the subsequent conversation that is just as important. When I'm on the hunt for the music or want to find out more about the band, all of those scraps of information help considering there's little to no information in English about a lot of the bands that have been discussed here, whether it's the download page, a news article or even someone who sold something 10 years ago here, it all made a difference in knowing what was out there.
When the average shelf life of a fan is a few years, it's almost critical the posts stay alive because the people who posted them are long gone. With a death of a forum, most of that deeper stuff gets lost and very unlikely to be carried over by anybody to the next place. I've seen many come and go over the last 20 years and something like discords, which is seemingly the direction newer fans are taking to share information, will never really act like a good substitute to the dusty old forum platform IMO.
And I agree, as someone who trawls discogs, YJA, mercari, and Japanese webshops for a vinyl, CD or tape, I don't mind that everyone doesn't have download access to everything. If people really want it, they'll find a way to buy it but the information is the part that needs to stay alive and accessible. Again, having seen many forums and websites come and go, there's plenty of things (YJA listings, images, html files, etc) I've saved about a particular band that I could never find again.

so it's like an equivalent of community college associates in VK label management instead of a recommended ivy league PhD?

suji got a reaction from Axius in Setsuna (ex. THE EGOIST) Arrested
this is soooo last year but Setsuna went on trial a year after his arrest and he only got...3 1/2 years in prison, plus hard labor.
tl;dr Setsuna testified that Uran asked him to help her commit suicide, and since that statement couldn't be verified as truthful or not, the court accepted that he killed her upon request and sentenced him to that short amount of time instead of the recommended 13 years in prison.

suji reacted to TristanRose in Great musician but shitty person?
I second kisaki. hes one of the worst people in vkei as a human being but I cant deny that I still love all his music phantasmagoria and syndrome still remain two of my favorite bands and I enjoy some kisaki project songs to. Dada from velvet eden could also be included hes known for doing lots of toxic crap. but yet I still will listen to velvet eden songs because some of them are just so good...especially the Kalm era

suji reacted to Jigsaw9 in Tsuzuku/GENKI TAKEBUCHI new project SpelL first single "SPELL" release
it's out x (the song that is, the video will premiere a few hours later)
It's so sad listening to him in such a no-budget production... Compared to this even 8P-SB sounded 'professional' lmao........
Otherwise it's an okay song but buried under a weak exterior. Disappointing.

This is actually very pretty precise for a tumblr rumor post.
Basically, that's it.

suji reacted to patientZERO in Nocturnal Bloodlust - The Wasteland (new mini album)
People are reacting to the newest single. New opinions. On a new song. I think you need to take a deep breath and realize that nothing said here is directed at you. I, for one, am not interested in the group anymore after listening to this single and given their current history, but nowhere in my comments did I say anything negative, hateful, or spiteful towards anyone else. It's great that you like this, but people are allowed to have differing opinions. Chill out.
