Its 36.300yen for all 3 demos, thats 348$

That's the price of art

For real though, I'm jealous of bangya who have that kind of spare money laying around

Nah, it's a step down from the last album. That hit the spot, this is a snooze. 

What's adjustment disorder?

It's really hard to update such kind of topic... because there are so many streams around now...

Also not all websites do accept overseas creditcard.

@platy So I really don't know if we really can keep it up good...

 

@spolochon However, which bands are your favorites, do you follow.  Then maybe someone could keep an eye and notice you when a band plays a livestream.

 

 

Also currently it feels that there are already lesser livestreams than before. 

It's something that would rely on contributions from everyone. I know there are people who keep up with a variety of bands, so I would hope they organically contribute.

And it's true, the amount of livestreams has lessened but it doesn't mean the ones that do happen should go unnoticed. 

This is a really good idea. As far as I'm aware I don't think we have a place specifically for those but I'll make a thread for it later.

'hey' or 'mornin' I don't really talk aloud to myself. But if by 'say' you mean in my thoughts it would probably be some kind of 32 page essay of various rants.

"water closet now" 

That's emotional blackmail, right?

It's supposed to be lol ecksdee funny to make fun of a taboo topic (specifically mental health as it's been painfully taboo in western society for a long time now. Even saying the word "therapist" makes boomers instantly recoil in terror as they fear that you are a deranged psychopath or something. However, many mental illness are somewhat common and need treatment such as clinical depression) but tbh a lot of these millennials fail to stick the landing with these jokes. In fact, a lot of them just make this shit up for the meme (usually a garden variety basic white bitch who thinks that she has PTSD from the Starbucks barista writing her name wrong). Ngl Scott nailed that joke though.

 

That being said, I've always found it strange how being yourself is never present on any E-dating sites, other than Christian Mingle and sometimes OK Cupid. It's always some silly, over-the-top joke they stole from Reddit. If anything, these attempts at being "unique" and "quirky" just make them as monotonous as everybody else. 

I understand millennial humour is dark and about self deprecation, I do it all the time myself - but only to people I'm close with. It's all well good to normalise therapy and mental illness via humour but idk, maybe a dating website/app isn't the place to do it. If I'm looking for a hook up or even a life-long partner, am I more likely to go the person who's a self proclaimed alcoholic or the one who just says they like football and a beer? (realistically both would be my nightmare, but you know what I mean?) These things shouldn't become a personality trait or something you use to sell yourself/brag about. 

And what you said about the ott stolen reddit joke, I came across several people whose profile said 'current status: cooked for two, ate for both'' hurr durr  I guess it's hard to stand out among a sea of desperation where your odds are pretty low to begin with.

we need a 'where is gackt' thread

So now that I'm in the singles club, decided to browse tinder. Not my first experience with it, but there's a weird trend I've been noticing on dating apps (and this goes for even queer dating apps)

Why are yall describing yourself as 'borderline alcoholic' and 'crackhead' on your profile? 

Or outright saying 'I've got a ton of issues' 'Depressed bitch' 'Looking for someone with mommy issues' 

I know we all have problems in this day and age but why are you giving me a list of all your mental/physical illnesses before I even say hi. And describing Ted Mosby as your spirit animal? 

I actually have to type this profile out cuz this shit is unbelievable

 
Scott, 26

I like to keep a gun under my pillow so incase of a burglary I'm able to shoot myself to avoid social interaction with another human being

 

jfc, either I'm too old for this or the world has gone insane. Impossible to swipe right on anyone, yall suck at selling yourself. It makes me even appreciate the simplicity of that one guy whose profile just said "we go to pub and then we fuck."

Anyway after spending one evening on it and losing a trillion brain cells 

Time to get back to my collection of husbandos and waifus, I am not looking to deal with other people's bullshit 

(I'm actually having fun being a full time weeb again and frustrations aside, enjoying my time alone)

But ya know what, maybe NAZARE disbanding is DIMLIMs guardian angel, maybe Issei should come back and set Retsu and the lads straight and make them great again. Why not bring uta along for the ride as well? Haha.

I was gonna say, 2020 would be THE year where Issei coming back would be possible lol And YES uta needs to join dimlim, the guy is good. But maybe too visual heavy for the new damlam (I love his style and would hate to see it be replaced by suits and clean face )

btw, just went on their spotify page and they have  COVID-19 support thing going. (edit: you can only see it via the spotify app)

Looks like you can donate your coin directly to them here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/dimlim

Ditching the make up wasn't even that big a deal, the musical shift was.

Anyway, I enjoyed MISC but it needs some serious work.

And re: everything else, LETS agree to disagree.

From what I mentioned it's high possible that Retsu, Sho and maybe even Hiroshi got dissilussioned with the vk scene. Reading their JaME interview it just wasn't Retsu who wanted the style change like some fans are insisting.Could be the main reason Ryuya and Taishi left (or got kicked out), the remaining 3 members wanted out of the scene and wanted to change their style,and they have every right to do so as it's their band. 

It doesn't matter if they wanna leave vk, tons of previous vk acts have moved on outside the scene and been successful. Look at Miyavi, sure his music is questionable now but his roots were in vk and there's something special about that.  Most people here would've followed dimlim to hell and back, regardless if they carried on in vk or not.

The issue is that under RETSU's leadership, dimlim's reputation and image has been turned into a joke. They could've left vk and been signed under any number of other labels that would've managed their look/marketing/social media but, Mr Lets wants to be as true to his craft as possible by managing everything himself, including relations with fans (the very fans who keep this project going, who put food and clothes on their table). I don't think he has any previous experience with this and it shows. Seriously just look at what Issei did with NAZARE in less than a year, dimlim devolved violently when they had every reason to have surpassed NAZARE in popularity/numbers/whatever.

If you can't see what's wrong with those interview videos they released on youtube or with the lack of direction/communication that's going on currently, then I'm sorry but I can't spell it out for you more than it's already been done. I don't even know what you are arguing against/for anymore.

People in the thread don't hate dimlim, we want them to succeed because they showed some of the strongest potential we'd seen around in a stale scene. 

People are salty because dimlim are shooting themselves in the foot and fucking up what could've been fantastic for fans, the band and vk. 

dimlim is a great example of biting the hand that feeds you

gives a right to the band to perform in a venue in the UK, the grand winner though gets an all expense paid live performance in the UK that will be awarded hopefully next year.

Hold up.

I would not miss this opportunity.

@YuyoDrift thanks for confirming my suspicion. I haven't picked it up yet but it looks exactly like what it is, an empty nostalgia cashgrab just like every other 90s anime revival thing going on atm. Like Cardcaptor Clear Card arc 🤮i'll try an episode or two of Yashahime just to see how bad it is for myself tho.

Speaking of, you gonna watch this? Since it's only a 'remake', I'm kinda hyped...

I'm really hyped for this. Now imagine a live where they only play that best-of 👀 My neck wouldn't be able to handle it

Originally, I was only going to keep up with the next seasons of Attack on Titan, Promised Neverland and Dr Stone. Some other stuff caught my eye tho

Horimiya

Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi (The first anime movie/series with a wheel-chair user as protagonist?)

Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san

And the Sailor Moon Eternal movies

Safe to say, yes.
