    I can't but think of the people here going through an album's production with a fucking tape measure and a try square looking for some hot takes as utterly ridiculous dilettantes who are on a quest to rate and evaluate everything they come across from dogs to cats to hotdogs and shoehorning them into some system of cosmically applying universal worth, like a senile bookie trying to get one over the plebs of the board that has rigged the game so many times to his own favor that he has come to believe that's how it's supposed to be played. Unsurprisingly this takes place mostly on the threads related to Dir en grey in one way or another, and I hope that one day whoever supplies the audio equipment to these people decides to send them boxes of tapes containing different bass frequencies and one note sounds recorded with different studio presets, so that they can spend the rest of their lives busy with their ear pressed against the speaker being fully content about that crystal clear HQ sound, because god forbid we'd have to see these people writing about music again when they could be spending their parents money on audio jacks and Pepsi instead. Some of the best releases in rock music history sound like they were recorded with an Xbox 360 headset so fuck off already with this shit and go watch the past seasons of american idol on VCR and pretend to be Simon like you really want to.

     

    Considering what vk has been doing from X's look to Kiyoharu's simulated hanging on stage to today, I don't think the word edgy has a place in the conversation with any other role than as a praise full of positive connotations only. While some people sure are eager to please and orientate themselves towards the lamestream taste with their hands and knees begging for their family to listen to their shitty japanese music at family gatherings and hand out positive affirmations, the rest ought to know that the only thing that really matters to any autonomous subject is the sincerity of their self-expression and the intellectual integrity that's solely their own. The general impulse of the public is to take the edges out of everything and grind them down into submission and guilt over being "lame" and "embarrassing," so hopefully instead of edgy music the people here can find things with the coarse edges done polished down so smooth that they'll trip and fall on their heads, becoming completely paralysed and unable to use their hands to write anything as stupid as they are in the future.

    トロイメライ by Dolly - Nobody in the west cared about Dolly when they were around, but this album is pure art-kei pop goodness.

     

    罪と罰 Brand New Capsule XIV by GHOST (VK) - Classic kote-kei with a modern sound. Grieva wishes.

    Did Twelve Apostles actually do anything? They're the project Chobi and Satoshi (ex-DIV) started after DIV's disbandment, but I don't think they released anything at all (I mean, Chobi's in The Guzmania now and everyone seems pretty excited for that, so he's got bigger things on his plate, anyways). If they did, they went all Umiyuri with it and made it practically impossible to find anything outside of Japan. Speaking of, how is Hitomi (ex-Moran)'s solo project doing?

     

    umiyuri has released a mini and a single IIRC.

     

    both of which are just "ok" which is surprising to me given the ppl he collabs with are pretty accomplished vk songwriters. sigh.
