Euthanasia

Wow.. I really wish that some people would stop try to speak for the whole mejibray fandom. Just because you don't like the song/look/whatever doesn't mean that the band "need a hiatus.". It's a matter of taste, after all. I know quite many who still likes what mejibray does, and I don't think that your opinion are superior to theirs. 
 
Anyway - I liked the new song, and the look is as crazy as mejibray looks usually are so no big surprise there.

I'm sorry, do people REALLY dislike this... ??
 
This is PRETTY likely my favorite Mejibray song... coming from a fan since birth.. more entertaining guitar riff than usual, fast paced heavy verse. SUPER cool bridge to the chorus and the chorus itself I always loved. it's like the best melodic parts of VENOMS.app with the cool heavy parts it was missing.
 
Most people citing it for being disjointed? Makes sense, but no more so than most of their songs? Idk, id rather have a pretty chorus that is an awkward fit over a lifeless one that does :/
 
Maybe I have different criteria for them than other fans but i literally dont have one single complaint. Even Mia seemed to not try to force another guitar solo that sounds exactly the same... not saying it was very different, but at least he took his foot off the gas haha.
 
Meto's ass... oh mama...
 
but yeah, sorry and very not sorry, but this may top their singles' list in my book.

awesome!! 

Sometimes I feel like the only person who likes Yuuki's voice. Yes, even I can tell it's unfinished, he can't exactly 'sing', but I love the rawness to it and the special color his voice has. I never liked generic VK-voices and while I wouldn't listen to Yuuki singing three days in a row, he's always been one I loved to listen to.
I think the issue is that people are so used to Unsraw or expecting a second Unsraw, that no one is willing to give anything else a true chance and everything about it which isn't Unsraw-ish gets picked out – and on. Though in this case the guitars don't fit and at the point of guitar vs vocals, the vocals lost because they were the weaker part. So far no one complained about kicking out Satoshi and finding a guitarist to suit Yuuki. And neither am I, God beware. 

When the song up there started playing it felt 100% D.I.D. to me and mind you, I'm a big D.I.D. fan. I expected Akane to start singing anytime yet my hype kicked in the moment Yuuki started and didn't attempt Akane's screeches and joined in with his kind of voice – because it's new and I actually thought it was great. 
Yuuki will never hit every note and ace it, but I loved the dualism of the guitars and the raspy voice here. Because it's NOT D.I.D./Para:noir.
 
I feel like this is an issue similar to back then, when Metal mixed with Dubstep became a thing and everyone was throwing a tantrum how this is never supposed to mix at all, while I absolutely loved it.
To each their own – but I'm absolutely in for this.   

Tzk really love cakes.
Anyway need to preorder this now.

*band doesnt spend all their money on their first set of costumes* ugh so cheap
 
*band does spend all their money on their first set of costumes* ugh so fake
 
*forum poster's contribution to the forum has boiled down to the same 2-3 word negativity on every thread* ugh

People are already blaming Yoshiki for the cancelled show while they're saying absolutely nothing about Pata and fail to recognize how critical his condition is. How truly awful and inhumane the Visual Kei scene is at times like these.
I seriously hope the man gets better and that he takes his time to recover, everything else can wait. Health goes above all.

Hey guys, let's not derail the topic and let's also try to be respectful towards the band and the fans of the band.
 
While everyone's opinions are valid, stop and think to yourself "is this really a good time and place to express my opinion?", "Will my opinion add anything of value at the present?". It's never pleasant when one of your favorites are going away, so at least try to be considerate of the fans. 

That vocalist sounds a lot like Yasu (Janne Da Arc/Acid Black Cherry) or is it just me? 
 
Either way, the preview is nice. 

okay....

when trolling the underage tanuki board goes wrong

If some of you guys think they are ridiculous, that they are mediocre, why don't you keep your opinion to you? I doubt someone that like the band is going to enjoy your shit comment here. Not going to talk about the ones trying to be funny/troll that fail hard. Here, is the place for you to comment about this!
Respect.

Thank you for your work! Looking forward to see more of it.

So sad. I've been following them since their start. It's gonna be weird not to have them around. 

That some fans seems to expect that a band should sound 100% perfection on their first release. It's ok to have high standards, but sometimes it is just as needed to wait a little and see how the band evolves, and see if the music is getting better. Same goes with some singers, there's a lot of singers who've sounded bad in the beginning but have turned around and sounds much better now. James Hetfield in Metallica (not VK but still), for an example. 
 
And I've also some issues with older VK fans (like myself lol) who treat new VK fans as crap for no reason at all. I mean, we've all been there in the beginning. And the VK genre itself is quite small and it need to grow and in order to do that new fans is needed.

Just calm your tits, guys - really lol.
Each and every person is entitled to enjoy lives the way they want to, be it the hot-blooded attitude or Nordic state of mind.
 
Also, another point of view regarding the scene as a whole:

But the band never has a chance to evolve because they disband too soon. ^^

I hate that versailles blocked me from their facebook page
 
 
rude af

I must say that the shikiri system (saizen refers to the regular front row fans, shikiri to their "conductor" aka the one who makes the decision where everyone is allowed to go) is considered bad behaviour in many of the concerts, as it does create inequality between the fans. Usually, if one noticed this kind of behaviour, as in possibly trying to go stand somewhere in the gig hall and a japanese girl coming over to say "hey you can't stand there, it's reserved", one should always go tell a person in the staff what's happening. There has been cases where a lot of the bandomen have openly shunned upon these activities, in which case the saizen people will be removed from the concert and banned from entering any rest of the gigs. Basically, anywhere that doesn't have seat numbers (no, not even entrance numbers count, because that's just the order you get in the concert hall) can no one tell you where to stand. You stand where the fuck you want.

ARYU! *_* <3   XD sorry im a fangirl.     thank you ^w^

My main issue with the visual kei scene isn't really represented in the options here, and it's something you generally get more in touch with once you get to Japan and get to experience the scene.
Firstly, the fact that a large majority of visual kei musicians more or less openly admits they don't have any artistic or personal integrity, they don't care what they produce and they don't care that their sound is exactly like every other band out there, because they know that as long as the members are pretty enough there WILL be fans, and they WILL pay you money for "company" and "favors" so that you can survive comfortably and keep rehashing the same song for a couple of years until you feel like calling it quits and do something more worthwhile with your life, or more likely, go into full time hosting business now that you have a decent circle of clients already.
 
This sort of leads me into my second issue and it's the bangya culture. It's generally really vile, and the way the girls not only talk about the musicians but also each other is quite disgusting. If the bangyas decide that a member has done something they do not approve of, that doesn't live up to their perfect ideals that they hold them all to (because god knows the fangirls don't live up to any of them) they can easily start enough shit to cause a band to break up or force a member out of the band. The issues doesn't end there though, because the few foreign bangya that exists generally adapt to this mentality and lifestyle too. They openly shun other foreigners who dare attend the lives of "their" band and ruin their "specialness", they participate in this completely daft saizen system where a designated person basically decides who gets what spot at a concert so everyone can enjoy playing ten year olds doing the "you're not allowed to play with us"-games... And the obviousness of what really drives people to be fans of these bands become so apparent when they get to this level, and it's certainly not the music.
 
To be honest, in a lot of ways I never realized how bad this was until I got there and could see it all for myself, and that's despite a 13 year stint in the scene by now.

A trip for me to Finland this summer then!

What a way to welcome new members.
 
Anyway, looking forward to the new single. DOGMA & UGLY were two great releases.
