this gives me very awful flashbacks…

@Ikna It's both awful and awesome for me lol. Blessed but cursed.

I just realized my name in the screenshot still has the last name Tamura, which was the last name of an ex I had lol. That's how long I've had this microsoft account

I've done this countless times, lol. So annoying...

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

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

Obscure business gimmickery, maybe?

Possibly, but better not be. The guitars on the PV spot sound fuller. It all fits together more.

But it's definitely possible they could have pulled a Shinjou Kasumi and decide to re-record it, and only use that rerecording (the huge irony is that Reload, Grieva's old band, used to be managed by Shinjou Kasumi)

because they bought the music themselves. it's up to them if they wanna share it or not. you are free to purchase it as well.

again that "if you want it buy it yourself? i know that very well,dude,don't need to tell me

we are discussing here about people who upload only the lyrics.that's all.

ah well then i guess because they want to. probably not more to it than that

I literally think they had a full version going but at the last moment, Yuuga decided no guitar or drums lmao

Ok, so apparently, it's just some party some organisation is hosting, with a very misleading name (that's probably going to disappoint a bunch of newbies). 

This is IRL clickbait. Except worse because looking at it makes you cringe

literally this video

"ok i got the headline, 'Jrock Party 2018'"

"no no no, u gotta tickle their balls a lil bit!!"

"uhh ok Jrock Party 2018 feat. Dir en grey & The GAZETTE?"

"how bout this KYO VS RUKI"

"that... doesn't make any sense..."

It's most likely just one of those club nights we're they play two bands. 

You forgot about the biggest crime in smartphone design in the last years: removing the headphone jack. I don't care how convenient it is to have no cables - the jack worked fine and the sound quality is better and more reliable. I know people who'd smash their bluetooth speakers and headphones against the wall if it weren't for the peer pressure and "coolness factor". 

The last years we didn't have any true improvements as storage, memory and cpu capabilities are only slowly getting better and at this point it's just producers and brands inventing new gimmicks to incite people to buy the lastest tech. Shit like making phones so thin they need a screen repair after one year and having to buy extra bluetooth devices or an adapter to listen to music are the things that help these companies to fake innovation to get more money… while prices are increasing every year. 

My biggest headache tech wise is having to not only choose whether I charge my phone or use earphones, but also the fact that my phone has an exclusive earphone/charging jack so if I'm going out with more than one device I have to take out multiple headphones. That and like aimi said  m ergonomic issues, my hands are destroyed from phone use. 

Remember when the future meant super tiny phones?

I let my phone slide and hit the ground or fall just because it's now designed to do so. haha within reason so I don't have to buy another one. Lucky so far but also ready to smash it's face. Tech indeed has improved our lives but the moment it stops working like it should, it brings out a unique kind of rage. I'm talking about texting correct English and casting to my "smart" TV. I used to love customizing my phone interface, but my latest had so much stuff for me to go through to "get to know it" I quit and just change the bkgds now...

Also, I think having great cameras on phones kills my camera buying. I still want a camera but then I need a phone which costs more than a decent camera but the phone comes with some high tech lens and I can't avoid it. Now two big appliances in my bag.

I miss flip phones and phones with full keyboards.

Wow, that is bad.

Yeah. And there doesn't seem to be any influence on any Vkei bands that they've had to call them Vkei, especially since Deathrock is rare in Vkei anyway.

FWIW, the death rock Sex Android were pretty solid actually, from what I remember hearing from them on YT. Nothing exceptionally mind-blowing, but pretty solid. I was also surprised to find out that 'our' Sex-Android's first releases were in like the mid-to-late '90s (also afair they sounded a little more straightforwardly punk on those than on their later, more 'known' art pop material where things got mixed w/ other influences) and they had some power gap between that period and their art pop era

Yeah, Sex Android started out quite Punk. When their last guitarist, Toru, joined, they kind of took a more creative route, including some folk influence, surf rock influence, etc. They even have a full on Enka song (I think everyone remembers Kowenji, Na No Ne... though xD).

Upon further research (AKA I found someone in the know xD), the Death Rock Sex Android was apparently meant to just be a small project, which is sad because it sounded quite good. They probably would have gotten more popular if they continued on into the 90's, because the 90's saw a rise in Gothic genres for Japanese Rock. If they had continued Sex Android into that era, they would've gained a bigger fanbase, possibly among the Vkei scene because well, they do look Visual xD. It's like the project ended at such an inconvenient time.

But at least there is Phadia xD

Try using Sky Scanner and also the app Hopper. If you use Sky Scanner, do it on the incognito mode on your browser. I have seen flights as low as $400 to Japan using those.

Thank you, I'll definitely try those ^^

I don't think Riku or Jun really like K*$aki at the moment, so that's seemingly possible. They'd probably use Gotcharocka's bassist tho, instead of some random who hasn't been in a band for nearly 20 years.

@suji Yeah, I actually found that out way after I made this lol. Let's hope!

@lichtlune But apparently, there is a huge majority of congressmen that support Net Neutrality, so we may still keep it. After all, we've narrowly kept it after almost losing it once already. We just need to keep contacting our congressmen and letting them know our thoughts. 

Has to go through legislature, the president and congress first before that happens. Besides taking away net neutrality technically is unconstitutional.
