Babymetal old!? I know that the Idol world is weird but now that they grown up, I appreciate a lot more songs .. the voice of Suzuka is more powerful, she has a bright future as a singer!
 
For Mejibray however, I also agree that it is time to disband..  they are monotonous and without a purpose, the noise caused by their musical instruments and screams at random and nothing more! D:

Every once in a while I'll wander into these "new band" threads and then get a painful reminder of why I try to avoid them.

"wewewewewewewewewewewewewewewew
wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowo
wewewewewewewewewewewewewewewew
wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowo
 
[gargling SFX]
 
wewewewewewewewewewewewewewewew
wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowo"

This is how I reacted:
 
When I watched the preview, I was like:
 

"Holy shit, this sounds promising, look at this perfect lip sync, those awesome facial expressions, this voice and lyrics."
 
When I finished the whole song:
 

"Why did I tried them?..."

Bumping this dead topic with some new goodies from @Minami.

The vocalist isn't even holding a microphone...

Consider the following:
 
1) DEG bandmates aren't in talking terms with each other ever since DSS. Shinya and Kyo were in fact very open about the fact that they do their thing in the band because "they have to". You do know that considering your job, or in this case DEG musicianship, as some kind of "sweatshop" publicly says a lot about your genuine feelings? Let's not forget those particular DSS/Unraveling moments where they all were pro tools'd on their laptops quietly in the same room instead of idk, initiating a brainstorm/scrum about songwriting?
 
2) True - solo careers do in fact help to keep things fresh and possibly salvage certain tiresome relationships. However, there are many cases where artists might end up "rediscovering" their calling elsewhere and prefer calling quits on their initial project instead of forcing themselves to backtrack and move on. Kyo was, at least according to those ARCHE interviews with Boo, not attending a significant share of ARCHE-related sessions due to his "preferred focus on solo activities". Roughly put, we could easily assume that he just came in to record a chunk of vocal lines and GTFO'd in an instant.
 
You might of course call bullshit on each and every bash I make on DEG. However, you should at least take these things in a closer scope and see what I am exactly about.  Their current, "grave" attitude in promos and all that shizznit goes beyond their musical gimmicks - it doesn't take a genius to see that they are visibly and perhaps even audibly (!) very tired of each other (god knows if they do in fact hate each other's guts).
 
All in all, we might not expect immediate kaisanization or something similar from DEG, but there's more than meets the eye in the midst of bullshit spewed by Will or Patrik about how skeptical fans "have no proofs" or "attempt to spread hysteria" (the latter is of course the phobia of their DEG-dependent identity).

Nightmare

About the blackface thing: seeing how tsuzuku’s and Ryoga’s make up are executed I wouldn’t call it blackface at all. Blackface is a very well defined term (even though some oversensitive “everything offends me!”-yelling people disagree) and comes with certain characteristics. Just slapping some black paint onto your face is not blackface. Blackface is meant to make fun of black people. so it comes with the wearer exhibiting manierism, that are ignorantly associated with being black, such as painting very large, red lips, wearing clothes of a jazz musician or hip-hopper and using a specific body language. None of this applies to these two.
 
I agree though, that this happened a few times with K-Pop musicians who dressed up as rappers.

I think it's a great rule to have. There's nothing worse than going to a gig where hundreds of people in front of you have their phone out, recording, taking pictures, some even on facebook. The band came all the way to your country and all you care about is looking at your phone? That's what I always think about people who have it out for the whole hour and a half.  Youre recording all these videos you probably won't watch ever again, let's be honest.  
 
One time when I went to see Miyavi, this douchelord kept filming his girlfriend for most of the gig, she was dancing to the songs and they were making people open space so he could film her. I'm sorry but... that's ridiculous.  When I went to see this other band, this girl was on facebook and instagram the whole time posting about it, instead of enjoying it. Call me a hippie, but events become a lot more enjoyable without a cellphone or whatever , since some people just don't have any knowledge of common courtesy. Whether you accept it or not, when someone has their phone out it's so hard to not keep glancing at the screen because our eyes are naturally attracted to it.  If a band asks for no pictures, it's not gonna kill me as much as I want proof that I saw them ,etc. It's not that hard to just accept it. I don't have a god complex towards bands, but I'm very thankful that they managed to come to my country and perform.
 
Also, another reason I'm against it is because I'm 1.52m in height and it's already a struggle to see the stage in normal conditions, but when there's someone that's nearly 2m high in front of me and they block the only small square of vision I have with an ipad, then I can't see a thing.
Of course, that's my problem.

Your painterly style is getting better and better!

a bunch of things

Yusuke's energy in this PV along with that outfit and wierd chick is just mnggh. I cant stop replaying where Yoshiatsu bounces like crazy, I hate how they chose now of all times to cut the song short. They usually post the whole video , but I'm heavily anticipating this agh ive had this on repeat sice last night

I just want FF XV. The more info they release on it, the better it sounds. I love the world they've created and can't wait to see what other summons will be in the game (Pls god, let a 50meter tall Ifrit be in the game)
Also the new Nier game and  No man's Sky. I'm looking forward to more FF VII REMAKE information as well, seeing all the butthurt fanboys is literally my favourite hobby and the more info released the more the butthurt intensifies. Please, carry on Squeenix. 

Yusuke is giving me life in this video. Overall, a cool concept. Like someone said, I'm not a fan of the singing at the start, but it's a fun song!

YES PLS more DADAROMA, their jazzy stuff is okay but one song is enough. Now can we have more 'Lucid Dream' with Yoshiatsu doing clown porn or something (since he seems to be into the whole pierrot look lately)

I've gone off the gazette for a few years now, but I've always regretted not seeing them live. After reading this thread I feel even worse, they sound so great live! It sucks they only came to England once (2007), they've been back in Europe a few times but always seem to avoid England for some reason. So jelly of other european countries right now, maybe on their next tour I'll have to bite the bullet and go to France or Germany to see them.
edit: just saw @jduv86's insta video of the meet and greet. Ruki looks so great, I think this one of his best looks yet.
