There is also some unspecified live video recording.

That's... fine I guess. Would have been happier with a new (permanent) band but okay.

I hope he's coming back! I missed him.

Oh yes I did not think about "jacket" in this way, it makes sense now. I was thinking about the jacket as an item of clothing... xD

Haha, that would have been pretty amazing!

Finally!!

It won't come with a regular jacket, it will just have a random one of 12 alternate jackets designed by the members, I think.

New look is killer.

Tour final will be 2018/08/18 at Akasaka Blitz.

 

 

Exciting! And we finally get a PV, too.

whaaat

alksjfl these sound great.

Thanks for the link @saishuu. The song isn't bad, although I don't dig it as much as Cut and some of the other tracks on their last album. But I guess I'll see when the full album comes out.

Kirito looks amazing. Pity I can't watch the video.

Man, what a setlist. Good taste.

Normally I would say, "plenty of bands release best albums without disbanding," but in Grieva's case I've been a little worried lately anyway.

 

Also, the colors in Hisame's hair are just perfect. <3

Shangrila does sound really catchy. I love the looks, too. Can't wait for the release.

I guess this is "news," sort of, if anyone finds it interesting... Ains is temporarily suspending payment confirmation and shipping from their web shop. The post doesn't explain why, just says it's due to company circumstances, so I hope it's not something terrible. The outage starts on June 15th and they hope to resume on July 3rd.

Shouldn't the poll have check boxes rather than the round buttons? I can only select one track this way.

What a time to revive this thread.

 

As much as I adore Mejibray, at this point in time, I easily have to go with Diaura. Their recent output has been far more consistently to my liking than Mejibray's. I hope their hiatus helps breathe some life back into their work.

I bought a (second-hand) copy of アヲイ's フテキゴウな林檎 that has a signed tray card. It was only ¥500 so that's cool! Can't remember if I have anything else that's サイン入り.

 

... oh wait there's also an autograph card that I got with a (again, second-hand) copy of R指定's オカルト地獄 but I don't know where it is lol.

 

dunno if it counts but also an autographed sheet that came with MERRY's Modern Garde with cartoon drawings of the band members, but the signatures look photocopied.

Finding surprises like that in second-hand stuff is awesome.

I have D'espairsRay, Rentrer en Soi, and -OZ-, back from whenever they visited the US at various times. And I have Gossip and Mejibray from when I visited Japan. (And I guess I have a few signed cheki, if that counts.)

Ordinarily, Yoshiki should remain in the hospital for at least a few days after the surgery. After waking up from general anesthesia and under heavy analgesics, he expressed that he wanted to record a song he was writing from up until the night before surgery. Persuading his doctor into releasing him from the hospital a few hours after surgery, he headed for the studio and stayed there for half an hour. However, since his condition after surgery was too extreme, his staff and the accompanying nurse managed to get him back home to rest under his physician’s care.

Yoshiki pls

I don't really hate the Seraph aesthetic (and I always rather liked it when Satsuki made use of it, even though the music itself was as boring as it could possibly be). I'm not really sure if I care enough for this music to follow the project, but I guess I'll at least wait and give it a shot from their first release.

Somehow people seem to confusing "in the big scheme of things your opinion doesn't really matter if you aren't a part of the scene" with "omg some elitist said I can't listen to/enjoy VK/ever have an opinion".

 

It's kind of like Miley Cyrus wanting people to care about her opinion on hip hop. She's free to do so, but nobody's going to giving it much weight, irrelevant of how much she may or may not be a fan of hip hop, how many CDs she owns, etc. because it's not based on anything credible.

lmao you're literally sitting here implying people's opinions aren't credible because they aren't ~part of the scene~ and you don't seem to understand why they're getting salty with you?

 

Here's the thing YOU seem confused about. You seem to be confusing "your consumption and interaction with the band are financially irrelevant" to "your opinion is irrelevant and no one should care about it." Let's, for a moment, humor whoever it was in this thread who said vk is "art." Here's the thing about art - once it's produced and released into the world, in whatever form it may be in, it's out of the artists' hands, and it becomes a matter of opinion and interpretation for whoever is consuming it in whatever manner they see fit. You don't get to sit here and tell people the ~correct~ way to consume it (i.e. attending lives in Japan) and you don't get to sit here and tell them their opinions are invalid because they're not consuming it in the way it was "intended" or in the way that is most financially profitable for the band. If Miley Cyrus owns literally thousands of hip hop CDs then I imagine she has her reasons for having her opinions, and while obviously no one is obligated to take her opinion seriously, that doesn't mean it's baseless. In fact, let's rework that last sentence in the context of this thread and see what happens:

"It's kind of like [a foreign visual kei fan] wanting people to care about her opinion on [visual kei]. She's free to do so, but nobody's going to giving it much weight, irrelevant of how much she may or may not be a fan of [visual kei], how many CDs she owns, etc. because it's not based on anything credible."

I somewhat disagree. To be frank, visual kei, like most art in Japan, is not made for the international community or international recognition. I mean, you are free to your opinion, but I don't see why a band should be judged on the basis of not appealing to a fanbase they were never trying to appeal to, if that makes sense.

 

 

well as a useless baka gaijin I guess I'd better quit listening to vk and following vk bands and buying vk bands' CDs and merch and just giving a shit about vk at all then, if I can't go to lives ever, even though this is 2017 we're living in and everything gets consumed internationally these days through this magical invention called the Internet
