Im going to assume that any site taking preorders is going to charge more because they're just ordering from the webshop themselves, so they're going to want to make a profit.

CDJapan is taking preorders, but it'll cost more.

I guess Mama is going to be a Kyo/Gara duet. So many soaked fangirl panties.

Here's more of that track from the teaser.

It's the shortsightedness of the non-Japanese VK fan where they think if their close knit internet community is aware, then all of Japan must be. That's not the case. The average Japanese person has no clue most of the bands we discuss even exist.

I'm saying just because you haven't see a band perform live, it doesn't mean you can't criticize them. Studio albums are indicative of an artist's musical skill and songwriting capabilities. If a band has five albums and I only like one of them, I think it's fair to say that I don't like the band's music. Seeing them live won't change anything.

Even live DVDs don't fully capture a live performance, especially since those end up being edited and polished just like anything else. I fully understand the idea of some bands being better live than on record, but it's silly to imply that you can't judge a band until you see them live when they don't perform internationally.

Sure, but it's not like seeing Mejibray live is just a matter of buying tickets and driving to a local venue for anyone outside Japan.

VK fans in general don't seem to understand how... anything works.

I just remembered 12012 are on hiatus. Wtf are those clowns doing now?

It's corny. Almost Yoshiki levels of self-serving.

Gazette should have done this probably around the time Mejibray formed.

Note that Malice Mizer is also on hiatus.

I have the DVD for Ultimate Circus final or whatever, and he looks absolutely bored there too. And that was, what, 2004? He reminds me of Shinya from DEG, emotionless and stone-faced. Just not as pretty.

There's always at least one "emotionless" member in every VK band. Not sure why that makes any difference in Nightmare.

I don't even care about what little music is there, the aesthetic is nauseating.

Not seeing the correllation here.

He's taking the name literally and building a concept off of it? guh

Yup!

Literally JUST heard these guys a few hours ago and immediately loved them.

OKAY BUT CAN I ACTUALLY BUY THIS FUCKING THING?! Oh wait, I have a friend that lives in Japan. She should be able to order this for me.

Oh, is this a new game now? i love buried pie.

Holy shit what?!

Are we talking ReS Satsuki? What did he do aside from go on a pathetic tour featuring no backing band?

Shintaro and Wataru seem like obvious choices. Because having sex with underage girls and strangling a woman until her neck bleeds are on a whole different shitty level from doing drugs and stealing money. And i think Yoshiki should be on this list for being a self-centered scam artist.
