This is my new blog so it's still kinda fresh. However, I post visualkei Jrock, Pokemon and game related things, some anime, with text posts in between. Basically it's my personal blog. I say funny things in the tags. Follow me here and talk to me : http://lilys187.tumblr.com

Just gonna casually add some melanin to this thread ...

K.A.R.D has been getting a lot of hype lately..and I can see why because they have a very western sound to me and it's very palatable for a wide range of audiences. Personally it doesn't really draw me in, but I do love the co-ed concept and wish it was more implemented in kpop. Choreo's interesting too.

Kageboushi is very reminiscent of some of their older tracks...I really loved Arlequin back then, so I'm not disappointed. I (surprisingly) liked Makka no Uso better than I thought I would..it's a beautiful song.

I was angrily searching "visual kei forum" through google one day because I wanted somewhere I could blab about visual kei and J-music besides Tumblr. And lo and behold, MH popped up and I assumed it was an inactive forum (since I'd came across many of those) only to see posts from days and hours ago...so I immediately joined!

I don't know...I really enjoyed their previous releases better. This sounded bland to me :/

I've been jamming to this for the past couple days now because it's so darn catchy They really surprised me with this.

I think this method will be very helpful for me as a novice. I do need to build up more fluency and confidence before I take on a song not translated yet..because I'd hate to screw up an entire song... Thanks for the advice !

Wow this discourages me a little, especially since my listening skills are basic at best and grammar frustrates me at times .. But this is seems like something very important to consider, thanks!

I keep checking this thread every time there's a reply because I really want to know who they are ! This phone call mystery is interesting though....fingers crossed that they don't suck.

I'm probably going to make my own blog soon once I get fully settled into uni. I'm quite excited about the prospects of it :^) And ooh, the #discourse

Hi everyone, I think it's time for me to contribute to this community (and my hobby) somehow and the first thing I think of is translations. I've been learning Japanese for a few years on and off and I'm technically intermediate at best. However I know translating is more than just translating...words. And with Japanese you really can't translate "word for word" like in other languages. So I guess I'm asking for any advice from experienced translators or even advanced Japanese speakers. How long does it usually take for you to go through a song? What are some obstacles you often come across? And anything else you think Ia novice should know ! Thanks in advance. I hope I posted this in the right forum

Okay so someone convinced me to read a YA novel for the first time in roughly 5 years...Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. It's in a universe with many similarities to the Roman Empire, told through the point of view of a girl from a low class and a boy who is training to be a warrior (though wants to escapes). The obligatory romance is oh, so predictable. 50 pages in and it's okay. Only okay. I guess if nothing pulls me in by about 100 or so more then I'll drop it. Woohoo for POC YA authors tho.

Okay so it isn't as bad as I thought at first. Might still check it out. The last B-side sounds promising.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one thinking exactly this. MEJIBRAY and Pentagon seem to be riding on this trend too and it's pretty boring and generic to me. I really miss tracks like their earlier ones (Oboreru, Ame no Waltz, etc.)

WOW I was actually about to get into them....this really sucks :))))

The first band that I claimed was my favorite was Vidoll, despite the fact that I got into them after they had disbanded (this was in 2013), but the first ONGOING band that i felt was my favorite was GOTCHAROCKA around the time they released Poisonous Berry...I can't say they're my favorites now tho :') no matter how much I love Jui

Ah yes, another time for me share my unneeded opinion: This isn't exactly music related but I kinda hate how people near my age and younger only obsess over the same few bands (which I don't really care for): DADAROMA, Pentagon, and MEJIBRAY (I think I've already said how much I dislike them here earlier). It's like they're more interested in their looks, selfies, etc. than actually realizing that the music they've came out with as of late is just so lackluster, compared to many other bands. That's why I encourage everyone I get to talk to take a stop by MH. I've learned so much here I love ya'll. Other bands (or labels) I don't get the hype for is AINS. Besides DIAURA, Gossip, Kuroyuri to Kage, Grieva, etc. have not impressed me. Maybe I'm not listening to the right releases but I don't get why a ton of folks go crazy over them.
