    They still look better without makeup than half the scene so who cares 

    I loved Sho with makeup, but he actually looked great without!

    (yup I was there too)

    I went to the O-west live and was one of the persons who offered shopping service. I'll also go to their next oneman on 9/20. I see them live regularly, so you could ask me next time?

    I'm not even gonna do the live-limited discussions anymore... getting tiring lol

    As mentioned several times before: I see them live often. So you could also ask me if you want something from them.

    Although some things are already sold out/unavailable since it's been months.

    Their market is Japan, the best way to cater to fans OUTSIDE of Japan is digitally, if they sold on iTunes or one of the many outlets, they wouldn't have to worry about their stuff being pirated, because let's face facts, very few people are ever going to hear them outside of YouTube or live because things are so hard to get. People like myself and a few others are the only reason why you can find their releases anywhere online, so by let's say...you not uploading them means that I or someone else has to get you or someone else to purchase them and send them to us where we will upload them out of the kindness of our hearts and because once they're disbanded, everything is lost to the auctions and no one gets to hear what little they released in the first place. 

     

    I just hope you reflect on your stance about not helping international fans share the love of this band and rather worrying about their income from a TINY thing that won't affect their bottom dollar anyway as clearly their strategy is focused on lives, getting people to buy live exclusive releases and merch. If these guys had any competent management they'd find a way to get their stuff up digitally, they wouldn't get as much, but they'd get a hell of a lot more than a select few people importing their music and uploading it across the internet. 

     

    Don't get me wrong, it pains me to have to rant and bitch about this topic so often, but unless you or someone else eventually uploads their stuff, it will fall away into obscurity, sure RarezHut may eventually get a hold of them, but it's doubtful. I'll just end it by saying that if six months from now they release an album with all of this to the general public then everything will fine. I mean...if DEXCORE can do it or better yet, literally indie ran by one man DALLE can do it , how hard can it be to get your stuff up on iTunes, SARIGIA? I definitely am beginning to think that they don't want to sacrifice $5 digital releases for 1,000 yen physical, but sometimes you have to think about the long term, especially on the HIGHLY off chance that they ever tour outside of Japan.

    😔

     

    -I don't want this to seem as a slight to you, you stan the guys, make a little money on the side and offer a service, I'm certain I got DECAYED from you, so I'm thankful for that, I'm just thinking about the many people here who would love to hear something since there's been nothing since Agartha, and they could literally disband any day, I mean the fact two people are leaving DIMLIM and could spell the end of them within months is disheartening as you never know when a band you really like could just disappear.

     

    -I'll leave this for its own topic, but piracy is not all bad as once these bands are gone their music lives on and new fans are made every day, yes they might not be able to support THAT band, but if they like the band they're more likely to follow what they moved onto. 

    Let's just make very clear that I don't "make" money first. I have to pay for the tickets, transportation, packaging etc. and put quite a bit of time in this service.

     

    And I completely disagree on the other part as well lol. I'm against piracy. You have these fans who pay for their stuff and those who don't want to pay and just complain and wait for someone to upload it? Not very fair to those who do spend money on them nor the band that spends money on making the music.

    VK bands often even mention that they dislike this piracy. SARIGIA's singles are only between ¥500 and ¥1200. They even had the cheapest parkas I've seen so far. (I usually think bands charge too much for those)

    Saying that the income from cds/merch is just tiny, makes me shake my head. 

    And when a band is "gone", new fans are pretty useless. They need them when they're active!

     

    Edit: Also there has been 2 live limited singles and a normal single since Agartha🤷‍♀️

    I actually see them live regularly, so yes, I could get their (live limited) cds/merch for you indeed.

     

    Small bands like this really do need to sell their cds/merch to be able to continue.

    And Mizuki is right about it getting harder and harder, especially outside of Japan.

    Do you go to any RAZOR gigs? I’d be interested in some clothing merch if so.

    ...My schedule is written in my post and I put updates in the comments.
