Anything but deathcore

Obsessively distinguishing between active bands and inactive bands ('active-only' all-time favorites lists, etc). As if a band never existed as soon as they split up. As if defunct bands don't constantly have reunions, and active bands don't constantly split up. etc.
afaik no other genre has a fanbase that cares so much about activeness.

Are we getting less new bands? I don't think so.
 
More like most of time if there's a news of a new band forming, that's all we'll ever know about them until someone does some digging to find out they disbanded few months later.

Ashmaze. 1st single "Phantom Shell" will be released at 2020/03/25.
 

 

Just remembered conditional disbanding was a thing some time ago but I don't see it much anymore. Can we consider it already banned then?
 
I'm also adding to the list that one member that goes missing instead quitting the band like a decent person.
Because I'm still bitter about what happened to Yusai.

The Guzmania 3-month consecutive singles will be released as follow :
 
2020/03/18 "prayer"
2020/04/15 "アラベスク" (Arabesque)
2020/05/06 "グロウ" (Glow)
 
they will hold their 1st oneman "ぐずの御祝い" at 2020/05/05 at Ikebukuro BLACK HOLE
 

I feel like people exaggerate the last single being bad because kuroi ame was a ballad and black rain was a mistake. As far as typical good kizu tracks go 銃声 and 息のできる死骸 are right up there.

I'm still just puzzled by the fact that no one told SHIN to take the jacket off. Like, who let him try to look sexy indoors in a down jacket?

Not at all. Everyone makes out like the band only ever makes clown shit and that they've never been heavy or interesting since the first Dadaism. MOST of their output since then has been great. Sure they've had a few duds, but in VK who doesn't? 

... I must be taking crazy pills. There's been very little of DADAROMA's output I've disliked. People need to stop clamoring for the sound of THEIR FIRST RELEASE. It's been six years people.

Can't wait~
But I hope it's not gonna have too much clown stuff.

It's always a clown thing. The question is it gonna be a tasteful pierrot or deviantart coulrophilia fuckery?

A few years ago I would totally go crazy over that collaboration, lol. Still it's a nice version of this song. Doesn't beat the original, but I like it.
 
And yeah, MV feels really uncomfortable, lol. Like the other vocalist didn't know what to do, when the other one was singing.

Tbf tho... Sena does look a lot like Lightning...
 
I'm sorry Komorebi

Personal thing that annoys me, not all bands do this but, fucking A/B/C/D types oh my fucking god. Please just release everything on a "master cd" too because only obsessed bangyas or rich fans (aka not me and most of my VK friends) buy all cd types. I already think I'm stupid for having bought two types of one cd a little while ago because I just wanted to see the making-of, which was a little dissapointing ngl.
 
Besides I too think that the whole secretive part to VK is kinda stupid, there's nothing wrong about age, sexuality nor relationships. Seriously, in the west celebrities who are in a relationship get labelled as "goals" by their fans, but eastern celebrities like VK-artists and idols too get sooooo much hate for it??? I still really hate the Kiryu bangyas for having sent all those emails to Takemasa last year telling him to kill himself after they found out he was married.
 
Also the YouTuber thing that's kinda happening to some bands, it's kinda fun, but only for the Japanese fans. I can barely follow any video because I just don't understand. Some video's can be funny if the video is obvious in what's happening like changing instruments or smth, but when they're just talking or eating, it's just... "Okay so do I just listen or what am I supposed to do?". I haven't seen many video's that actually have English subtitles, only a few, and a few on blogs with fan-made translations. Even then it's still kinda boring if you keep having to look away from the video to read the text on the blog.
