Alright alright alright, hello people.
It's been quite a long time since I last posted here.
What happened is, I lost my best friend and I had quite a depression during these past few months. We have been friends for a bit more than 3 years, she's a year older than me, and ever the beginning of 2015, I started to go at the same university as her. We became a lot closer thanks to that, and everything was going really well. She's doing Business & Finance, and I'm doing Graphic Design. The thing is that every courses there have exams except for Graphic Design, where the exams are replaced by a shit ton of additional assignments. So as the semester went on, I would get busier and busier, and I explained that to her. For my first two semester in 2015, it went good, I was able to work(except for the last weeks where I had 5 assignments to give back, weeks of sleepless nights), I was able to keep time for her and for my new friends.
 
During the holidays in December, a friend from my class and I started dating, and she eventually became my girlfriend. I told my best friend(let's call her Sara) about it, she seemed upset at first, but then congratulated me and then said that she couldn't wait to meet her. I thought she was upset cuz she wanted us to date, but I did propose her before and she said that she'd rather stay friends.
They met a few times when we were with a group of friends, and everything went okay. They weren't able to get really close though, cuz Sara is someone who's very high maintenance(and also takes friendship REALLY seriously, Fairy Tail level), and my girlfriend didn't really want to become close with someone like that, but she was absolutely okay with me hanging out with Sara, cuz well, she was my best friend. So it all went okay, until university resumed at the beginning of this year. There was an anime convention at another university close by, Sara and I were invited to perform there (me: singing, her: dancing, and other stuffs if she felt like it). Unfortunately because of the huge workload that I got at the beginning of the semester, I had to refuse, but she accepted to perform there, and I was happy for her.
 
Sara told me that she was going to do a "senpai - kouhai" sketch, and asked me to help her prepare the script. I told her that I would help her whenever I had the time for sure, because I had a lot of work to do. I was helping her, while trying to keep a grip on my work. Then a few weeks later, she asked to come at the university early(8am) for 2 days, and I told her that I'd come, but only if I'm able to complete most of my work. Sara put a lot of pressure on me, like, a WHOLE lot of pressure, coming near to emotional blackmail. In the end, I did not go, as I still had quite a few assignments to finish, and with her putting even more pressure on me, I nearly snapped. The thing is, something in the past happened to me that now, a real big excess of stress can cause me to snap... I never told her about that, cuz that's a really dark part of my past that I'd rather forget(this story will be for another time), but was unable to. I thought that it was now time to tell her everything, because I know that in the future there would be moments when she'd keep putting pressure on me, and that I would actually snap for real.
 
So after my submissions, I decided to tell her everything... and tbh, it felt good to finally let everything out. She was the first person to whom I ever revealed this part of my past. She was really understanding after I told her everything... but after 3 days, she started going back to putting pressure for me to meet her. And this time, this wasn't for one or two days, she wanted to meet me everyday, every free moments that I had, before classes, after classes. When she saw my girlfriend and I, she'd come and butt in between, ask us to not hold hands, etc in front of her. After a few weeks of that, I had enough and decided to tell her that I needed my alone time, time with my girlfriend, and time with my other friends.
 
But before I was able to talk to her about it, she asked me if my girlfriend didn't like her. I had a talk with my girlfriend, and she told me that she thought Sara was a good person, and the only thing she disliked was Sara's overpossessive and clingy manners. I was honest with Sara and told her what my girlfriend thought, being precise about the part where she ONLY disliked her clingy ways, and nothing else. And before I could say anything about me needing time for myself, she told me that she's tired of that(her old best friend's girlfriend didn't like Sara, and he decided to stop talking to her because of his girlfriend), and that no matter what she does, she just feels that we're drifting away, and so on. I told her again that my girlfriend didn't mind at all that Sara and I stayed friends, it wasn't because of one thing that she didn't like that she'd prevent us from staying friends. Sara didn't want to hear any of it, and then decided to end our friendship. I told her that we could end it on good terms at least, she said okay and went away.
 
I fell into depression... and after 5 months, I was able to get back on my feet, thanks to my girlfriend, friends from my class, and mutual friends I had with Sara. I started to get better. But then around 3-4 weeks ago, I got to know from a mutual friend that Sara was talking shit behind my back, that she was putting the end of our friendship on my back, saying that it was all my fault, saying that she made every efforts and that I nothing... She said that she wanted to "hurt" me, and tried to use several our friends to trick me and invite me to their place, and she would be there to "trap" me. She even used a friend to try to send me emotional blackmail. Fucking emotional blackmail. But luckily, they all came clean to me, telling me what Sara was planning. Even two days ago, Sara tried to manipulate a good friend of mine to trap me, but it failed. At least I know there are some friends I can trust
 
After this, I felt so stupid that I fell into depression because of someone like her, and that I am now better off without her. I am now so fucking over her. I have a happy life with my girlfriend and with all my friends, I don't need any of her bullshit in my life.
And woah... as I am typing this part, she just sent me a message on Facebook: "Sup nigga? ~w~"
I can't even-
 
 
Anyway, yeah that's the story. Sorry for the absurdly long post, but this is the only place where I feel can really share this.

Wow I lot of great bands here! I'm so happy to see another listener of Malisend and BUCK-TICK around
Don't know what I can rec since I listen to a lot of the bands here, but maybe check out Pentagon? They're kinda popular so I wouldn't be surprised if you already heard of them

In regards to this, I have to say GOTCHAROCKA is not Vidoll!! LIke, not at all, so I don't know how you will take them. Jui still sounds as beautiful as before (though his voice is only slightly different) but GOTCHAROCKA is a lot more "pop rock" because JUN composes like everything :// (and if you're familar with him then you know how that is).  Maybe check out Virginity by them? That's one of their best releases. And/Or Gekiai which is my personal fave :'D

Hi everyone
 
My name is Komorebi, I am from Chile and after snooping around for a few days I decided to join this wonderful forum
 
I've been listening to VK/(J)Rock for about 5 years (yeah, not that long) and this year I started getting more into the newer bands, so there is A TON of music I do not know (this includes many older or "classic" bands from the 90's). That being said, I am open to any reccomendation. I'm more into melodic and clean vocals than growling but I give every band a shot to prove their worth and talent. I dislike judging a band based solely on their looks so I avoid youtube.
 
I hope I can get along with everyone here and maybe even make some good friend.
 
Have a great day/afternoon/evening~

keiya made a series of blog posts today on Purple Stone's June lives and instore events, and in his last post he shared his thoughts on their upcoming single.
 
i thought some of us might be interested in what he thinks so i've translated it:

Ok, so I found this blog mentioning Purple Stone, and hiroki translated one of the most touching things T_T.

Before I went back to Hong Kong, I went to see the live Purple Stone co-presented with Follow. At the 'buppan' i used my crappy Japanese to chat with Keiya. Actually I hadn't intended to say anything,
but I eventually said "I'm going back to my country this month, I'm not sure when i'll be back, but i'll certainly return to see you live again."
 
I wasn't sure what I was expecting him to say in return. Maybe if he had said "I'll wait for you", I'd already be so happy I'd be fly to heaven, but he replied:
 
"I'll go to your country in future".
 
His smile was so pure and genuine. I felt he was really silly, but at the same time I felt immense respect for him.
I believe, even for artists who have been around for 5 years or 10 years - they wouldn't say something like this. It isn't a matter of ability, but a person's attitude. Maybe with their popularity now it would be impossible for them to perform overseas, but at least he has the ambition to do so.
 
This dream may be as far as the distance separating my country from his, but all I could do was to hold his hand whilst being on the verge of tears.

I'M FUCKING CRYING RIGHT NOW ;_;

Also this one, I've been drinking heavily so don't judge me
 

I'm taking the risk of posting my ugly face here for the first time ever. In cosplay, too.
 
 
 
The scythe was a hassle to carry..but the con was fun, still.
 
 

I braced myself before going through the thread and I've already been somewhat hurt by someone's personal scale of attractiveness (how black people are on the dead bottom of their scale) and it brings back to how the world treats the black woman as one of the most unattractive beings that have ever walked this planet. As a black woman, it's constantly thrown in my face how I don't fit into societal norms of beauty, and though I haven't had much dating experience, I'd like to date someone who shares partially the same struggle as me, or in other words another person of color.
Also remember that "racial preferences" can intersect with fetishizing (and don't even challenge me on this).

But their last two mini albums were incredible...
