LOL I was totally sad.... this was the last live when they were going on hiatus.... I like had to see them but was deathly scared lol.... And when I waited to buy the ticket it was sold out in less then 2 minutes.... supposedly it was like a record for any band to sell that many spots that fast in such a limited amount of time

@Yukimoto ah! so sad!! T_T 

@echoIKR bbut they came back so now it's my mission to see them now!!

LOL but i wonder if he actually reads them at this point in his life now lol. If he's going to toss it to the side then I really don't need to make it, BUT if he's going to read it then I need to get on that ASAP LMFAO

@Yukimoto lolol I'm sure he reads at least SOME of them?

LOL I need mine to be in that pile of some.... Er-go I must become famous, meet him, and confess my un-dying love LMFAO

@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

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

@Yukimoto SOME DAY!! T_T

We will promote you at lives lol! We got this!

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

someone has to have a Japanese credit card and if you have the money on you just give it to them!!! You can do it!

@YukimotoI'm not close enough with anyone to ask to use their credit card. I think most people would be reluctant even if I say I will pay them ><; But I'm still exploring a few other options. I hope I can figure something out ><

AWWWWw i hope you do..... I would be devastated if I couldn't go and I was there too.... Maybe you should just try asking someone you are kind of close too. Like have the money in one hand so they know you mean business!!!!

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

@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

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

@IGM_Oficialhe had an Instagram account for like 4 months and only announced it yesterday (assuming that's what echo was referring to)

@itsukoii wtf

@IGM_Oficial @itsukoii

lol yeah that and him posting a super old pic of him and Uruha... he's really just a huge attention whore haha. He tweets something like "oh I found a picture of me and Uruha from when we were 18" and then after literally everyone and their mother is like "I WANTS TO SEEE" he's like "fine, I guess I'll post it" as if he had no intention of posting it in the first place >.> lol

and back to the instagram thing, judging by Ruki's response, it sounded like he wasn't originally intending on saying anything about it. The whole exchange was just funny haha

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!!

Perhaps go outside and enjoy it? lol oh wait.

LOL I'm not to sure how this all came to be but you need a replacement ASAP.... For my sake and how I didn't get pics of today's live....

@Yukimoto lolol oh! I was able to take pictures! I found an old itouch! so the pics are like shit quality, but they exist!

yes mom

lol omg stupid phone autocorrected typos

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

but thanks @midi:nette!

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

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.

I`m glad it`s not just me!

@beniomg my sleep schedule is so fucked from it!! and it's extra frustrating cos it's a bit buggy T_T

fucking unicorns

DYING

how can anyone NOT love anfiel??? <3333333333333
