Meanwhile it's Monday evening.  And we didn't came a step future. our host did gave us only 72 hours. We were still waiting for a reply which we didn't got on time. so they did suspend the website fully. 
 
However no worries. As nerd as I am. I got everything inside a backup.
Suu said that there were still unconfirmed orders, so today I tried if I could upload the backup to a server of my rich american client. (laugh) cubecart was installed sucessfully, backupfiles too but somehow I can't link the store code, so store seems to be empty.  old tutorials don't work, of course I've contacted cubecart.
Still no worries, the backup file which was created I can it open also with a special phpblabla thing.  So I got access to everything. 
Which means All unconfirmed orders are saved. *few* So we can keep going on!! *YAII!!!
 
So right now I write down the last orders which still need to be confirmed manually down, via a difficult way, but I do understand it (geek level 100%). so that Suu can contact those people, to double confirm their orders.
 
The last placed orders will be confirmed manually by email.
 
But please wait a little bit until you can reach vstarpromotion.com and the webstore again.
 
 

lmao I just noticed "4N'S" reads as "phones". their name finally makes sense to me wtf
sample sounds meh, but that's what I expect from them anyway

I think any paradeis song is wtf inducing. That guys voice just O_e

Just popping in to offer some more positive feedback about my experience with the V Star webshop:
 

 
The web store experience itself was wonderful... it's such a joy to be able to buy some VK stuff from Japan without any extra, mandatory paypal steps, or getting emailed shipping quotes after the fact. At V-Star I could just enter my credit card info (yay my credit card doesn't charge foreign transaction fees!), pay for shipping right then, and that's everything.
 
My CDs were packed well... and I also got some flyers and a handwritten note too!
 
Special thanks to @Suuu and V-Star for letting me place an order but honoring my request to hold my package for a couple weeks as I was out of town.
 
Go support people like V Star making it easier for people outside Japan to get ahold of VK goods!

Do you wish they would tour in your nation?
reunite?
become bigger than the Beatles?
Go back to the old ways?
etc.
 
I wish Reign would come out with a full PV
I wish Kameleo's yt stints were subbed
I wish Lycaon would reunite
I wish Kento (Subaru's twin) would be more vocal (talk, do skits with BP records, sing!)
I wish codomo dragon, kameleo, avd many "indie" bands were more popular

his twitter still exists (for now): https://twitter.com/ap_masa69

On the 22nd of January I was honored to take photos at Galumia's last live.
As can be imagined, a last live can be a hugely difficult time for both the band and their fans who have followed and supported them.
but it is also a time to make bitter sweet memories.
 
below are some photos from that live.

unfortunately in this industry, disbandment's are a hard reality.
it is something everybody will face at some point or another.
 
however the bands music can always be remembered by their fans.

so cute becomes "OMG SCARY"? what about bands that normally are spooky but have cutie vids

A few years ago I got some responses from Jun of Gotcharocka, and both Aika and Yuhma of Fixer like any tweet directed at them.

I believe there is more, but I was probably too lazy to print it. Yes, I saved prints from it, cos of that I remember it lol

What Sakura is up to is really not a mystery. He's playing with tons of bands.
 
There's even a really thorough English Wikipedia page about him:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura_%28musician%29

So many bands disbanding now and so many have disbanded years ago but have never came back in other bands. So time to name band members from known bands (doesnt have to be big bands just bands we kinda heard of) who have went to other bands (known or just starting out) or non Band related jobs. (can include some rumors since most of us don't live in Japan)
 
I wonder about former members . Sou from Remming, Sala from BFN, Klaha from Malice Mizer (hell everyone cept Mana & Gackt), Sakura from L'arc~en~ciel. 
 
ALmost everyone in Pumpkin Head got married ( Rui i heard is free ladies)
Rui from Screw- quit, did jewelry or something then did a crappy solo album
The lead singer from Aicle got married
and I can't think of anyone else D:

Not just plastic surgery but lost some weight, to teeth fixed, fixed boobies, calves, or even scars.
 
When you see someone in their rookie days and compare them to now, you wonder if its the makeup, the light or if they had work
 
I suspect Shou/Show from Alicenine/A9 had some work done.
 
I think Hayato from Codomo Dragon got his cock eyed fix. From this old clip it looks like his left eye points inward to his nose but later on (noticeably with glasses) his eye is straight . Even with the glasses off.
 

 
Anyone else ya suspect had work done

Malice Mizer - Le Ciel , this is probably my favourite song from Gackt era.
 

For me, it will always be:
 
Wakaremichi and July 8 (both in sequential order, for those who don't know) from the GazettE

I used to be a huuuugeeeee fan of DOG inthe PWO for around 3 years altogether, but it's been around the end of last year I managed to admit to myself they just don't appeal to me anymore. It has actually started exactly a year ago with me getting their "Boomy Boomy" single, listening to it once, ripping it to upload it and simply not listening to the single ever again (or rather-listening to it in rare occasions I would just put everything from DOG on a playlist and the songs came up). The funny thing is, even after this disappointment I have ordered their maxi single Doggy style III 5 months later in a 1-day blast of love for the band, or rather just to complete my Doggy style maxis collection. It wasn't so disappointing but I rarely listen to it. I still often listen to their old stuff because 1) Haru's voice is powerful and great (I still consider him my favorite vocalist in vk), 2) old songs actually make sense and have a lot of emotion in them and 3) sentimental value. So basically, I didn't grow out of them, but rather, they grew out of me I guess? But honestly, I consider their new stuff generic and pointless. Even though they still have the same amount of talent, they're just not using it imo. 
Fun fact-every band I considered my "favorite" after DOG has suddenly decided to disband or have a hiatus (awoi, jackman and liphlich), lol sending me signs much, doggie? xD

i agree with BFN
outside of a few A sides which are really REALLY fucking good, the rest of the singles are filled with bad bleep bloop shit
