It gets the cynics' rocks off. If you go through said individuals' comment history it becomes pretty apparent that they've changed over time. Some people just look at vk w/ such objectivity b/c their favs define the genre for them. 

I agree with you. If a band  don't interest me, if see elsewhere ☺️.

But "old stuff" is not likely good , because we growned with and  their judgement is biased. So the "new stuff" gave a chance , because maybe in the future or now are interessing.

opinions on old stuff is inherently biased because we tend to not talk about the stuff that sucked back in the day. but people that talk smack about new stuff will always exist, and telling them to go elsewhere isn't productive once you realize that those in love with 2008 visual kei (for example) won't find what they are looking for in 2018. they will be just as unhappy "there" as they will be "here".

ngl i don't listen to vk nearly as heavy as i used to and what i listen to most of the time are bands people don't really remember or listen to anymore. and as time passes, i have less and less people to introduce my favorite things to, and less and less people willing to talk about the same songs five, ten, fifteen years later. but i try my hardest to give new stuff a chance too and sometimes i am surprised. there's actually a bit more diversity now than five or ten years ago.

yes mom

lol omg stupid phone autocorrected typos

"bothered to checked  if** someone's posted"

but thanks @midi:nette!

OMG YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PREVIEWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ>3

I really enjoy the latter end of that 耳鳴り preview. It seems like he covers all bases here https://big-up.style/musics/405451 through "Big Up!", so hopefully it's digitally released as well. 

@colorful人生 he's doing his best i think! his first real live is on Sunday so I'm hoping he'll announce more about it after that. hopefully he'll have more digital releases!

sounds pretty good indeed! I admit that coming from nil delete heads I expected more from TRA in general, but they sure had some pretty kickass tunes! カルラの憂鬱 is still rockin on my daily rotation

I hope he forms a new band someday

@Elazmus ME TOO OMG. I saw them for the first and last time on Saturday and pretty much died T___T

@hiroki <33333333333333333

@echoat least you were able to see them.... I wanted to so badly </3

Haha he's such a cutie<3<3<3 counting my days down till Japan life

@Yukimotobut I mean yeah he's cute, but that's not why I love him?? if anything I was Masashi-averse because he was TOO cute LOL but yeah idk he's <333 lol

lol he's too cutie???? LMFAO

enjoy!!!

@hirokithanks!! It was super fun!! Their set felt super short though >< can't wait for the one man!!

(btw convinced my friend to come with me to try and see Follow on 10/8! Hopefully they don't play first ><)

glad to hear it was fun!!!! (then again seeing your honmei is always fun hahah XD)

omg that's great! yeah i really really hope you can catch their set in full!!

how can anyone NOT love anfiel??? <3333333333333

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you went to see them live!!!!! So lucky!!!! Ugh can't wait till I'm in Japan<3

Haha he said that jrockers are ugly underneath their make-up and that's why they put so much on it was in an interview a few years back... he was mainly speaking of his self and his band but also meant it in general

@Yukimoto okay, he clearly hasn't met Keiya.

KEIYA IS EVEN BETTER SUPPIN <333333

and I actually think all the Tra guys look better w/o makeup too lol

Haha hes a character with Aoi so I'm sure he was looking at them and generalizing or just maybe thinking about the fact that tons of make-up ruins your skin.... But it always makes me think about j-rockers when I remember that interview

@hirokiRIGHT?! when did they get that popular??? They have a Halloween one man next month too!! wtf? I'm definitely gonna try to go to the one in February!!! (and maybe the one next month if I can convince my friend that's coming to Japan to visit to go with me lolol) *throws money at them*

@echoseeing how effective miyuu's towel-throwing has been, i'm starting to suspect it might not have been an accident after all HAHAHA. in any case i'm really happy for them - these days it isn't easy for bands making their kind of music to gain fans.

damn, we need a thread for dangan in the artists forum (although there's a good chance the thread will just be an extension of this convo the 2 of us are having here lolol)

@hirokiI was just thinking the same thing!! Who knew I was this shallow?? (-_-;;;; It was all part of his master plan... T__T

nah, but I was really enjoying their set before the towel-throwing! He threw it to me during the last song (which just so happened to be a towel-twirling song lol) Yeah I was surprised at how many people seemed to be into their music!! I'm happy for them too! ^^ maybe Miyu's just been throwing towels to the crowd this past year haha

is there not a dangan thread yet?? LET'S MAKE ONE!! And it's okay... if it turns into an extension of this convo at least other people will see it?? and maybe get excited? and also start liking dangan??? maybe??? haha

fucking unicorns

DYING

lol you always have a strong someone bias haha

@Yukimotohow can you be a bangya WITHOUT a strong someone bias??? LOLOL <333

JURRRIIIIIIIII <333 wait so I was like in the third row with one other girl at that live lol but the girl in front of me heard me screaming Juri's name and between songs she was like "come stand next to me?" LOL I think she was an Aggy fan or something so she moved over so I could be in the 2nd row lolol <333

lol you so lucky!!!! look at you making friends through your stan-ship hhaha<3

LOL OMG you need to make your way into the translating for Bands job haha.... We going to get you there soon enough
