Oh thank you!!

I moved back to Tokyo on December 31, 2018 and started offering shopping service for everyone, rather than just my friends, for small fees.
I've been to 37 lives in Tokyo in 2019, so I know how things work.
 
‼️I'm focused on getting merch from lives, cd/dvd releases (from stores) and tickets.
I won't accept small orders from online stores anymore. I've done it a few times and the tiny service fee I'd have to ask for it wouldn't cover the time/materials I'd have to put into it‼️
 
General service fee is 20% of the item.
+ shipping fee and packaging (if a box is needed).

I'll go to their first live on 3/20...
In case anyone would like to get their mini album

They're great live!
Saw them a few times here in Tokyo, with the current line-up!

So I liked some of their older releases but haven't actually checked anything the past 2 years or so.
Then I saw they have a new vid, thought "let's check it, it's been a while"
...and my first shock was that Mahiro got replaced. 
But it's Mahiro's voice.
What the hell did he do to himself.

I don't really understand why Retsu keeps saying that, cuz they still look/sound like a vk band to me. Yes, toned down and not into fan service etc., just like older bands often do.

No particular order:
 
SARIGIA (I attend their lives the most)
DIMLIM
DEVILOOF
DEXCORE
MAMIRETA
the GazettE (Disorder, NIL, Stacked Rubbish and DIM will be loved forever)
Miyavi (pre- the What's My Name album is great)
hide (X Japan)'s solo work
 
that's 8...
Since I've been living in Japan I dropped some bands that I used to like such as Xaa Xaa and Gozenreiji.
I'll be checking out some newer bands soon > gulu gulu, XANVALA, 鴉-カラス(DAMY vocalist new project) and MOTHER.
 
... My guilty pleasure are old An Cafe songs lol

Not bad.. but gotta hear more from this album to decide whether it's good enough for me.
I do need some rougher vocals from Sho (scream/squeak/growl, baby)

The full band looks cool.
I'm looking forward to see them on 3/20.

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🤷‍♀️

Not gonna miss Brand X, not gonna miss that Yada guy at all. I didn't like him.
 
...And there are several better  vk stores  imo.

Exactly what I was thinking👏
And I keep saying that it works live as well.  Probably the most fun band I've seen live so far, but that's also cuz Batsu is nuts lol

I think the vk stores in Shibuya, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro are doing fine though.
I visit them regularly (and I'm usually not the only costumer plus they sell online too) and instores are still getting held there.
Japanese fans really do prefer collecting physical stuff, so it's more popular than downloading here.

They're so fun live (batsu is crazy), especially because of this type of songs they really do stand out at taiban (lives with multiple bands)
I can't get into their previous single, but if they're doing this random shit again, I'm good.
Low quality MV? Whatever!

I went to the live where they announced this. (yesterday)
They also showed a teaser of a pv on a screen.
Definitely promising.
And Katsuya is definitely very skilled on stage too.
He just didn't say a word to the crowd while he hasn't been on stage for so long. (plus he was the host of this event... hosts usually do some kind of talk)

I don't know what you're talking about, but you're not really explaning it.
Should I feel attacked now because I don't play an instrument? I don't think so.
I often hear from those who play instruments themselves, that that is the reason they DON'T like most pop music. Because they think it's much less creative. I share the same opinion even though I can't play anything myself. I've been into rock music since I was a kid and just can't get into any pop because it's the opposite of what I like, sound and style wise. The atmosphere of rock and pop lives are also so different.
But hey, it's just my opinion. You be you!🙃
 
I just wonder if there are mejibray fans just supporting this because of who they are, even though they actually don't like the sound nor style. Would die-hard kpop/jpop fans still really like a group that changed to a vk band instead? I think most of them wouldn't.

I just really don't understand how you can be into this as a mejibray fan.
...unless you listen to a lot of jpop and kpop too...
but I'm also that person who doesn't understand people who are fan of both dark heavy vk and (mainstream) happy bubbly pop music 🤷‍♀️

MY CD arrived with no issues. I look forward to use your services again in the near future!
