"Lul this band is using a drum intro. They're obviously copying [insert band here, but we all know what our minds first went to xD]"

"We haven't lost the GazettE we fell in love with" Yeah, if you fell in love with them in 2010 xD

Oh boy.. then yeah this is a big pickle. I can just tell it's going to be short lived.

Recently got myself a Hatsune Miku poster at FYE for literally just a penny. I don't listen to a whole ton of vocaloid anymore, but it has played a HUGE role in my current music tastes, being the thing that introduced me to VisualKei. Basically, it went from Traditional Japanese Music and Vocaloid, to Wagakki Band, to CrowXClass (my first Vkei band) and then it was just all Vkei from then and there.

Oh my... This doesn't look good for them. If I were in their shoes, I'd end the whole project, find some new guys, and start a new one. This is one of those "STOP WHATEVER THE HELL YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING AND THINK!" situations. Bands where there are only one or two original members left don't really feel like bands. I mean, The Cure doesn't feel like a band, it feels like just Robert Smith. These guys are just small in the indie scene, so they should take the chance to start over, while they can.

Currently playing Fallout 3, which my girlfriend gave me a download code for. I had it for PS3, but decided to play it on my Xbox one again through the download code. I also play a lot of Battlefield One and am planning to get the They Shall Not Pass DLC. I love historical games, especially WW1 and WW2 games, and even though I've had an intense grudge against CoD after MW3, I'm going to get CoD WW2 as it looks interesting. I also have Verdun but I don't play it much because it's ded on Xbox one. The game I've put most time into is GTA Online. And yet I'm still broke and can't afford the fun shit. Kinda makes those fan theories about the game being dystopian seem true.

Never thought of that xD. Of course there is always E. They somehow meant for it to be that way IDK why anyone would only want vocals on one side, but knowing some guitarists actively scoop the mids and use boss metalzones, and some bands actively don't mix the bass, it's not a stretch

The vocals are only on one audio channel, which is kinda sad because this single actually would sound kinda promising. It kinda feels a bit Smooth Jazzy in the beginning. But, that's nothing a little audio editing on my side can't help with (if I still had my laptop. RIP Dell Inspirion, 2014-2017) So far on looks, I honestly don't care if he looks like Karma, because literally everyone in the 90's did the same with Kiyoharu's look. Sound wise, they actually sounded pretty good before this. They had pretty good production. My guess is either: A. They're on a limited budget and spent more on the video B. They had an error when processing the video and it went unnoticed C. They have no idea what the fuck they're doing It's most likely going to be C, but I'm going to be carefully optimistic and hope it's B.

That use of the Japanese Naval Ensign with USA written on it is an insult to both America and Japan... Zin, just stop. Doing something like Colonial America would be cool, but modern America... NO. THIS IS NOT LEGIT AND YOU NEED TO QUIT.

I don't focus on R-Shitei for a few months and suddenly, they go all modern times, Heisei era, colourful visuals on me. Ok, minus the new visuals (which caught me by surprise because I haven't focused on these guys in a while), the single sounds ehhh.

Sakurabi, Awaki Samidare Ni - Memento Mori R-18 - GossiP Komoriuta - Kiryu Dead End Kids - Inugami Circus Dan Temariuta - AvelCain Hitoriboushi - Kiryu Saku - Dir en Grey Naked Eye - Lamiel

Ah. The style looked a lot like Maruo's work. Edit: You're right, it's Kaneko Atsushi xD. Still, the guy has good taste in Eroguro~

Welcome to MH! Also, is your profile pic from a Suehiro Maruo manga? If so, you have good taste in Eroguro~

Djent is supposed to be a form of progressive metal based on rhythm, but is mostly joked about for having "000000000000" notes. Some Djent bands can get pretty shitty, but some, such as Animals as Leaders, which has Jazz influence, are actually pretty good. I should know, my girlfriend is an AAL and Messhuggah fan

YES! So is CrowXClass (Kurona's old band, which actually presented themselves as an actual Vkei band) I also notice Yuko sounds way better in Hanafugetsu. Probably because it's an indie project, and so they don't put the insane amount of production on her vocals, so you hear a more natural voice. I mean, in Wagakki band, they give her more production than I've seen on some Jpop Idols, and that says a lot

Rick James. Just Rick James in general. I'm not gonna lie, I was raised on the Funk. My mother would listen to literally everything and that included Funk.

Mhm. I believe he was 16 when he joined La'Mule in '97, after their support drummer left

You-ya ex. La'mule and Red Carpet still looks the same as ever. To be fair though, he's only around 35.

Does anyone ever feel like the world is in a mess, and are fucking mad as hell because they aren't in any position to fix it? Like, with all the political BS going on involving Trump, CNN, the Koreas, Saudi Arabia, etc. And the solutions people are proposing, the left side and the right side, only seem to push people further apart. I'd like for everything in the world to be solved, but I'm not in any position to change the world. I don't even like politics anymore, I'm just a musician who just wants to make music and ignore the rest of the world. I used to be way more political, and I keep myself informed on politics because you pretty much have to since that's all people talk about these days. I mean, I could change the world with music, but it's not like I'm a political musician. It's not like Eroguro music about licking eyeballs and shit is going to change the world, is it? Even then, I'd be in a mostly indie scene and I would probably reject major label deals. Let's be honest, the whole world is a fucking mess, and people are being torn apart. I'm gonna sound hippie as fuck, but we all need to just let in a little love. Love solves more than violence, but violence is human nature. IDK anymore, I'm just frustrated with the current state of the world but it's not like it's something I can ignore because it's being shoved in my face 24/7.

Yayyy!
