  1. Dimlim letting Retsu become the band leader has seriously backfired. How the hell they allow him to be the leader any way? Did  the power just get transferred to the next biggest douchebag after Issei left? lmao

      Hello doppleganger lol

  2. Youtube randomly recommended Phineas and Ferb in Japanese to me, and it low key sounds like a Guruguru Eigakan song

      Tokage

      i see your phineas & ferb and i raise you russian guruguru eigakan #moodz

       

       

  3. How the hell did Ja Rule in the early 2000's get away being tone deaf and sounding like he has a cold?

    Sure, Mesmerize is catchy, but Ashanti is the only one putting any actual effort into the music lmao

    1. Manabu

      Manabu

      LOL I only had to read the first line of your status to know you were writing about Mesmerize

      Ashanti... when hip-hop was so good... I grew up with her!

      Same here. As much as I shit on Ja Rule's attempt at singing, I won't lie I actually enjoyed hearing his stuff as a child

  4. So has any more info about the Norowareta Guruguru-chan thing that Gulu Gulu is supposed to be performing as on the 21st been revealed?

  5. Ok, am I crazy, or does this early MCR song almost sound like it could be Luna Sea influenced?

    Or maybe there is a band that influenced both. IDK. Maybe just a coincidence lol. I really don't listen to MCR other than their first album so I don't know much about them.

      Good catch, I can hear it! They probably have similar influences, maybe '80s post-punk and post-hardcore combined or idk. This short-lived band from the '80s also comes to mind (they were one of the main inspirations for the whole emo thing).

      Oh yeah, I'm semi familiar with Rites of Spring because I like a few songs from their vocalists other band, Fugazi. I actually never knew they influenced Luna Sea, but that makes a lot of sense!

    3. saishuu

      saishuu

      I feel like it's the vocals. I can hear some Ryuichi in Gerard's voice here. The music itself I'm not so sure it reminds me of LUNA SEA, except for that little part from 1:37-1:40 and the occasional screaming.

  6. Ok, this is gonna make me sound like either a total dude bro or a total pleb, but I love the work Sean Murray did on the Call of Duty World at War soundtrack. It's just so unconventional for a WW2 soundtrack

  7. Serbian folk music sounds way more Middle Eastern than I expected lol. Makes sense though, knowing the historical influence from the Greeks and Ottomans.

     

  8. (For context, read my wtf should I do post in Toasted Waffles first)

    Idk what to do. I'm at my wits end and I'm trying to protect my cat from this piece of shit my partner's parents invited over. They're at the hospital, so it's me, my partner and him alone, and I'm trying to protect my cat from being beaten by a piece of trailer trash who thinks it's ok to hit animals when they misbehave. But that involves keeping her in a room away from him until he goes to bed, and she keeps crying

    1. Gesu

      Gesu

      Is there anyone you could get to look after your cat for a little while? If so, that seems like the safest option to me.

    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      Nope. I have no friends in the immediate area. And even if I did, it's already night time. I'm just patiently waiting for this piece of shit to go to bed

  9. I wish there were more PVs out there that looked like the ones Dir en Grey did for Gauze camera-and-lighting-wise. I wonder what they filmed them with. I probably could never afford that type of camera, but it would still be cool to know.

  10. I randomly came across this weird but cool video of these Russian folk musicians playing Du Hast by Rammstein on traditional instruments. Also featuring a Duduk player who I'm assuming is Armenian, since that's where the instrument comes from

     

  11. Apparently Sasa from Devil Kitty, MADARA and Ephion became a vocaloid producer, according to vkdb, but his niconico is private. RIP.

      Homodachi no Wa (初音ミク ver)

      Himeaimichu

      @Peace Heavy mk II I would pay to hear that lmao. The chorus tbh could actually fit Miku's voice

  12. We have French, German and British themed Kote Kei bands... but we don't have a Russian one? I mean, we have Vkei bands that have taken Soviet themes, but it'd be cool to see a Vkei band take a proper Russian aesthetic.

  13. I just saw a bunch of Viets on twitter attack some country singer for wearing the Ao Dai... and holy fuck these people know nothing about Vietnamese culture. They're going on about how someone shouldn't sexualise the Ao Dai, but like, the Ao Dai is already sexualised, and has been since the 1930's. They're all made to accentuate the breasts and butt.

     

    As well, these people were pulling up images of extremely modernised Viet clothing, and saying it's the "real traditions". I swear sometimes I feel like I'm the only Viet nowadays who actually cared to research about our traditions, especially of those that date before Chinese and French rule, instead of blindly thinking the literal historical equivalent of a suit-and-tie is somehow a thousand year old tradition.

  14. So I've really been sleeping on Jigsaw but holy fuck they're like the perfect mix of old school and modern Vkei. 

  15. I like the rerecording of Kiryu's Tsurezureguza, but I hate how they removed the Sitar/Biwa (I assume they were trying to simulate a Biwa, which is a traditional Japanese instrument that sounds like a Sitar, with sitar samples). I know most sitar samples sound fake as shit, and Biwa samples are nonexistent (as it is, the instrument is now only really used to accompany story telling), but if BP Records can afford to have real Taiko drummers during lives, I think they can afford to hire a Biwa-player, or at least buy one of those guitars that sound like Sitars.

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      This is a Biwa, btw, for those who aren't familiar with Japanese instruments:

      Zeus

      i'm more amazed one of the guitarists doesn't own one

  16. I finally tried Kiryu's most recent album and single and I gotta say, they're way better than I thought they were gonna be. Also, they went full Kote-Kei on the song 鋸挽 from their last single. 

    1. saiko

      saiko

      Gonna try it!

    2. saiko

      saiko

      Are they available on Youtube?

    3. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      @saiko Some are. Here is the one I was talking about in the OP

  17. I got curious to see if Tila Tequila was still a thing... and holy fuck I forgot just how fucking crazy she was lmao

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      @psychonnect_rozen Oh yeah. She even attacked fellow Nazi sympathiser Ben Shapiro because he was Jewish. 

      Whose gonna tell her Southeast Asians don't count as Aryan? Lmao. 

    2. psychonnect_rozen

      psychonnect_rozen

      Lmao Ben Shapiro. Oh my god I can’t stand him lol. Not gonna say anymore because politics 

    3. Zeus

      Zeus

  18. The back cover of Fukou Jiman from Devil Kitty contains a picture of a Vietnamese tribal lady lmao. (I can tell because of the collar and buttons. That's 100% an ethnic Tai dress. Check the 2nd photo)

    https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l450859272

    1. IGM_Oficial

      IGM_Oficial

      So... the guy on the cover is also Vietnamese? hmmm

    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      That I have no idea about. Could be, but hes wearing western clothes so who knows? Lol. I think they just got random photos of two old people, and the lady just happens to be of Tai descent (or it could be a family friend of Yuuga's?).

      I know the man bares resemblance to the old man on The Gazette's 2nd single

  19. Does anyone know of any Vkei songs with a similar feel to this one? I really like this song for some reason 

     

    1. Peace Heavy mk II

      Peace Heavy mk II

      why are you tagging me idk them smh

    2. Peace Heavy mk II

      Peace Heavy mk II

       

       

      This Kilah song was kind of similar, I guess. They were on Eternal and one of their guitarists ended up being in Devil Kitty / Deadly Sanctuary, so I'm assuming he was friends with Yuuga at some point before this song came out.

    3. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      Oh yeah, that's the song that ripped off Lamiel lmao.

      Kyosei from Kiryu shares a lot of the same chords as the Chateau song, especially in the bridge, and Mahiro is also connected to Yuuga.

  20. So apparently, Ai from Gulu Gulu's first band, Rose Valley, had songs available to listen to on their old website. Only problem is, those links don't work anymore. If I ever meet Ai (or Ritsu from Smileberry, who was also in the band), I'm definitely asking him about it lol

  21. Does anyone know anything about Amano Tonbimaru's first band "酸欠マンホオル"?

  22. Nerv Rituell should've released more content. They had a really cool sound (except for one really annoying song lol)

  23. Is anyone able to watch this past twitcast? It just shows a giant thumbnail for me

    https://twitcasting.tv/gulu_gulu_band/movie/566243852

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      It was watchable for a few hours after the stream was done. I guess all twitcasts are like that? The whole platform honestly kinda confuses me lol

    2. Nighttime Jae

      Nighttime Jae

      I see! So far I've only seen either recorded lives or non-recorded ones that end right away... guess there's also a third type then :') yeah non-recorded or deleted twitcasts are the bane of my existence lol

    3. Aferni

      Aferni

      I ONLY GOT TO WATCH HALF OF IT AND IM SALTY

  24. Does anyone else like to just take songs that are rerecordings of eachother, and try to mix them together in Audacity?
    I find that I've been doing that a lot lately lol.

  25. IDK if anyone has talked about this yet, but Gulu Gulu uploaded a preview of one of their unreleased songs (played live). I can already see myself singing along to this nonstop lol
