People have too much time on their hands, good Christ

 

it's all confetti
 

 
I'm bad at drawing feet. It was taking too long. I didn't care.

I used to be neck deep in love for vkei, pure DEG and GazettE stan. Now, these days I listen to lots of pagan folk metal or ambient music. WHAT. HAPPENED.
 
Most people on the forum, probably:
 

Rides In ReVellion
 
 
 
Psycho le Cému
 
 
 
DE/CLIO
 
 
 

@platy and @BrenGun : For now I'm kind of exclusive to Zaiko (https://zaiko.io, offering streaming services), because I'm a HUGE fan of Angelo and that's where they do their streamings. Other v-kei or jrock bands do stream there quite often even now, even if I don't -always- follow them. For example, apart from Angelo, I've been able to watch Kiyoharu and Micro Heads 4N's + a few others I forgot before it was too late to buy (such as Galneryus).
 
And yes, it should probably be up to the users to update this part, it would be an insane job to check EVERYTHING regularly. It's just that it would be nice to have a place to announce these streaming concerts, and maybe chat about them a bit?

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.

A year ago, heck maybe even a few months ago, I might've said something edgy like "listening to sad music", but nah I'm doing better now (trying to anyway). I try to focus on things that make me happy and surround myself with things that make me happy. It can be anything, no matter how silly other people may think it is. And it really might sound silly because right now I'm addicted to plushies and cute/pretty things that brighten up my day. I want to surround myself in them, and I also want to try planting flowers in my apartment/patio when it gets warmer. I lived in my parent's basement for about a year and half before moving into my current apartment. The ceiling was warping, there were mice inside the walls, half the room was storage for my family, and seeing a bug (sometimes dead) was a common occurrence. I'm happy I got out of there. I mean, I've had other things in the past that f'ed me up, but that living experience was rather awful (honestly, living at my parent's was always awful). Ofc, I will still cry sometimes depending on what I'm sad about, but right now buying things for my new apartment and building a comfy living space makes me really happy. 😊
 
Also, cutting toxic and abusive people out of your life is really important, if you can. They will drain you and deteriorate your health horribly, especially when you're at your low. If you cannot cut them off, set your boundaries and distance yourself from them as much as you can. Hold on to those who care about you and who will support you in everything you do because you can only do so much on your own. Some people might think they can take care of themselves on their own, but the truth is, sometimes we all need a little help and support from others and that's okay! If you don't have anyone, you will find them someday! I don't know if I consider anyone IRL as someone like that, one of them lives faraway, and I have another friend in town but I think I made it uncomfortable for her several times when I was really down and broken, and I feel bad about that........but as I said before, I'm trying to do better. I do love all of my online friends tho and am happy to have them! ❤️ Please take good care of yourself!

Some gya posted a chamu nude on tanuki in 2017 lol

Well, for me there's one song that makes me cheerful again whenever I feel sad and that's this one:
 
Check the lyrics too (see spoiler), it's quite motivating.   Anyways, I usually listen to oshare kei whenever I need to genki up my spirit

It's a bit like situational depression.  An event has to happen that triggers a significant negative response in someone, and the person ends up having excessive anxious/depressed/abnormal thoughts and behavior.  It's usually not permanent though, the person's symptoms improve with treatment and after the stressful event has ended, but if the stressor is ongoing than the disorder can become chronic

Here's a summary of the post:
Kana was diagnosed with adjustment disorder in January 2018 and he told the president of B'Forest Inc., but the president didn't understand and told him he was sick and fired him.  In March he got an attorney and in June he filed a lawsuit against the president for power harassment and for money he was owed.  In the first trial it was confirmed that B'Forest Inc. owed Kana 3.2 million yen and that the president did indeed partake in power harassment.  The court ordered B'Forest Inc. to pay Kana 3.7 million yen.  However the president made an appeal, and at the appeal hearing in August 2020 they reached a settlement in Kana's favor of 3.3 million yen and an apology for the president's lack of consideration towards Kana's disorder.  Kana received the settlement in September. 

He couldn't write about it before because it was part of the trial, but he had been suffering from power harassment for years and eventually developed adjustment disorder because of it.  Apparently the president never admitted to power harassment.  Kana does not forgive the harassment and was initially adamant about the court's decision because he didn't want it to keep happening to his former label mates, but after the president appealed he just decided to accept the settlement.  He wants his former label mates to be paid properly or to stop working for the label.  He also made it a point to say that the president did apologize so no one should slander him or harass him because of this. 
 
In regards to how he's doing he says he is physically and mentally healthy.  The trial took a long time and he had to get treatment for his disorder but he's glad he worked so hard and was rewarded by the trial.  He didn't want to leave all the people that were concerned about him without answers, and he wanted to talk about his feelings over the last two and a half years, so this is why he made the post now.  He would like to return to the stage again some day and hopes everyone is doing well during these times.

What I got via machine translation is that he had adjustment disorder, and president of B' FOREST fired him.  Also he sued the president for unpaid remuneration of roughly 3 million yen and power harassment.
 
^Seems to mean that his former labelmates are still going unpaid?
 
Someone with actual japanese knowledge please summarize this.

Releasing singles>>>>>>> Dropping a bloated album full of MID.
 
Yeah No, and correct me if i'm wrong LIME is totally against recording a full length. And That's the best play possible for ANY band tbh.
 
Also, Kizu needs to embrace whats happening around them. Niggas is streaming left and right. If they dont wanna stream, record a set and put it up for a nice price via VOD. There's a lot of people who are still coming to terms with this and it doesn't help that theres no real set plan on getting the world back on track. So on the other hand, i can see why they're kind of being wishy washy. They'll be ight. I hope they don't disband.

Man this is such a deep topic with a complicated and non-straight forward answer as everyone will cope differently. But I guess from my experience the only way to pick yourself back up if things are that bad is to go for a bit of a change of lifestyle. Like make big changes, not saying dress differently or change your music taste but more like, think about your job/studies, the area you live in, your social activities, the people you hang out with etc.... are all these things satisfying for you? Do you need a change of scenery? Or even just an adventure somewhere completely new, meet some new people etc?? Even if just on a vacation or whatever. I guess basically it's a case of, if what you're doing isn't making you any happier you need to switch things up until you do feel better. Like I wont go into my own situation too deep as that would take forever but one example I have is quitting drinking made me feel a lot better, not getting into the same dumb situations, not hanging out with people who weren't healthy for me to be around and mainly that not drinking just made me feel a lot healthier in general, not feeling so damn tired all the time and never going to miss those hangovers. So that was one thing I changed that showed clear positive improvements. So figure out what works for you and go with it, isn't an easy road but determination can take you there!

Hello all,
Many bands have started selling tickets for "streaming concerts", that even we can access even from our non-Japanese homes. Of course there is the "Corona-related Livestreams / concert videos", but that is more about videos posted on Youtube, as a treat to fans until actual concerts can start again?
There is also the "Events" sub-forum, but it looks like it's been abandoned after the Coronovirus spread (as no one can attend events anymore).
 
In the end, maybe these "streaming lives" could deserve a topic or sub-forum of their own? Or should they be treated as "news" and announced in that forum?
 
I have to admit I rarely come here, and even more rarely post here, but I did expect to see these concerts listed somewhere here. I rarely come here, even more rarely post here, but I consider this forum as one of the very few still active sources of information for visual-kei and Jrock, so... it would make sense to find them listed somewhere? Unless I missed their topic or sub-forum?
 
Thanks!

So this is a thread that may or may not exist (not that I found at least), but Japanese films are a topic that really isn’t touched on much on here.

'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.
