Well its actually totally not the topic.

What you say is also true, but I still think disbandment reason no.1 is "money".

However  Japan high tax? how can be 8% being high?  while the country I live has a tax of 21% and CD's are still cheap...  but that's actually a totally different discussion.

This is another tax. that is what the buyers pay and not what the musicians pay to produce the music. When I do interviews and ask the bands what they'd do if they were prime minister for a day they'd erase taxes on music.

Also, you said you bought the previous FIXER DVD isn't?

Take a close look to it. Kiwamu did burn the DVD himself. ^^"  it's fully own production.

If it are 1000 copies he will let produce it in Taiwan. were CD/DVD production is much cheaper.

So yes this DVD could be a bit cheaper.

Yeah but Kiwamu has a lable

so he wants to gain money and that's why the production is set to "overseas" in cheaper countries. also i don't think he makes super much money as like other bands do, because the bands under his lable aren't super popular.

I bought the dvd yes, because I like the band and want to support them as much as I can. At a live i'd buy the other things over CDs/DVDs

You said before you don't like that only 100 copies will be available. And that you want that releases got more copies/will be always available to buy at any moment the band is still alive and if possible even after disbandment. right?

I just don't like the limited thing. it's this 100 copies only..i don't mind that there are just 100 copies...or maybe only 50....but better write down as long as available, like kyo does with his stuff. it just sounds nicer, somehow.

so no one knows how many there actually are, people buy it faster ^.~ cause it could be out of stock anytime. also this "i own something super rare" thing isn't likely to occur that easily.  I just made bad experiences with that "I have a XYnumber limited thing". and yes i own such things too but I am not thinking of me as something better...but sadly many VK fans do ._.

Does Brand X never reply to emails????? >_____< lol

Or send out verification that the order has shipped?

for me they replied since i needed to chance my address. I preordered a cd 2 months before the release and well will be on holiday in 2 weeks so i'd like to send it to my grandparents since no one is at my appartment

And if fans don't buy 99% of the bands give up and will disband.

 

 and this is not true

T3B did not sell well sometimes too, sometimes it was better,  but they disbanded due to an other reason!

and still taxes are super high on music stuff in Japan. that's why a cd costs tons of money...singles for 1200 yen... that's normal no matter if you compare pop, VK or other things...it's always around that price. (excluding bands like dir en grey and gazette where a single can be up to 5400yen)

sure sometimes it changes but most things don't.

For me, as I support the bands I like, i pay it!

But thinking of it, bands are not making money through selling cds...no...they make money with all the other stuff they sell,  like cheki, rubberband, shirts and so on. 'casuse a cd lable just earns from cd sales and not from other things the band has.
buy a cd instore a band gets around 7% of the price. buy it live it's 12% (not those bands without lable/ or their own lable, they get the 100% on lives) buy a shirt or cheki, the band just needs to substract the producion cost and the rest is for them and no one else.

Mini en grey (grieva) for me since i never was into metis gretel >D

Unsraw for me

but i liked both bands ^^ - it was a bit difficult to decide but thinking of it bit more, i prefered unsraw ^^

that's good to hear!

Guys are you ready for the show on friday?

We are packed with new music and bands - ready to present you another round of Diablolic Bento box

We start at 2pm. CET and go for 2 hours

Please listen at Radio Diabolus

prices are that high because of high taxes in Japan...

i know all the other bands which are pretty expensive...but i always say - as long fans pay nothing will change...even if some complain.

same with the VIP ticket in EU and USA...as long as the fans pay nothing will change

I know that kiwamu knows that - as a fact i am working with that man! He's not stupid...

Also japanese fans support more than one band - not all but many...my japanese friends and I have many in common also if they just cannot affort going to lives of all the bands they like.

I don't have a problem with shopping and shipping inside japan...so doesn't matter if he adds them to the overseas shop or not. If I want stuff, I can always get it.

first they introduce themselves

then he's talking about the release of their first minialbum

that they are doing brutal death metal

he says that they have a live at America mura in osaka - i think "that everyone should come to see them"

and that they were deviloof

he's talking fast >D i did not understand everything he said >DDD

I dunno how many they have. i went to lives where there were many people and there were lives where only 5 people came for Fixer

It's not always a face of how many fans they have. it's also a fact of, how much does it cost and what else do i need from other bands

I know i have one of those copies ordered

so but i still don't like the 100 copies only thing

~_~

again 100 pieces... i freaking hate them v.v

It's finally out

i knew it for about a month or so but i pomised not to tell anyone ^^

nope they did not
 ^^

they had a break because members left and then came back with VK ^^

Urgh... I don't have money T^T but I want!!!

My package from 2 months ago finally came in

it disappeared with tracking number for over a month and yeah everyone thought it was gone

but here it is and along with it my beloved cds

First is D

2x Yami no kuni no Alice (have all 3 types now)

In the Name of Justice Type 2 - bought it twice now because i am stupid (will be up for sale)

Limited Edition of Paradox

Limited Edition of Kaze ga mekuru peeji

Killaneth - Seraph both types

Rides in Revellion

Eternal ~katsubou no sora~

-Chain-

Daisuke To Kuro No Injatachi - Shikkoku no Hikari limited Edition with DVD

And finally

Amber Bullet - Under Cover (this makes only one cd left of them >_<)

Hei and welcome here ^^

pokes ^^

taking offers too

i definitely need that one =3

okay strange

Noah said, they opened the webstore for INternational because many fans from oversea asked for the Eternal single

that's why I wonder a little

I can ask my friend if she can order it or if i can send it to her

normally the webstore and stuff is open for oversea, as far as i know

 I went to see the new movie 2 days ago and it was amazing

i really liked the movie plot and stuff. and i also think the silvermine prequel in the anime was perfectly fitting + it was funny

one likes it others don't

i like the speed and the fast riffs. I also don't need perfect perfection as it may sound in arche or DSS.

in total both of those cds are calm compared to utafumi. and also live they just have parts where you really can bang and shit.

and what is a standart? we make up the standarts i think.  for DeG it might be a standart with 'okay this time different more brutal and not so professional'
kyo said in a sukekiyo interview, that he liked wotking on the first cd a lot because everything wasn't super professional and they got stuck in some parts and also threw stuff to hell because it did not work out as planned.

so why not adapt that 'unprofessional' style to Dir en grey too and make something new.

But as always new deg stuff and peopla find something to complain about. same was with arche...same was with DSS same with Uroboros.

i will ask my friend if she wants to contribute something

dunno if she has internet though cause she recently moved to norway
