reminiscing2004

My heart hurts

lol Aggy's sleeve was fake haha. He drew it on with a sharpie xD
 
I might write up an official report here, as I was at both lives, but need to gather my thoughts first.
 
They finally played The Farthest and No Salvation after skipping them the first night, but the whole time Juri was looking down like he was reading the lyrics 😅 There were also a few songs they didn't play at all... I really wanted to hear yomi no yuzuriha instead of some of the other songs they played twice
 
Although they didn’t wear their old costumes, it was nostalgic to see Leda brandish his old Cygnus again. 
 
The guy right next to me caught Sujk's drumstick at Blitz, and I've never felt so frustrated at being so short as I was in that moment. But I caught Aggy's hair piece at O-EAST which was only a small consolation.

reviving this thread to give a commentary of their april 19th revival live at tsutaya o-east in shibuya.
i was lucky enough to score a ticket and go, and aaa, too many feels...

Long-running visual kei magazine Cure has just released their first issue from 2003 digitally on Amazon Kindle! More issues will be on their way to the platform~
 

They filmed it... THEY FILMED IT!!
 
[EDIT] if I got it right, they're also filming the 19th for a DVD release!!!

I just finished reading 新耳袋殴り込み 最恐伝説, about a group of people who visited some ruins in Osaka that were supposedly haunted to make a horror documentary. I've never watched any of the DVDs but I've read all the books and they are pretty interesting (and funny). I'm going to start reading Sadako vs. Kayako soon.

i feel like the funniest part of the whole make western VK a THING thing, is just that this wouldn't have to be a discussion at all if there were actually any western vk bands that were good

Me too

Every time I take this test, I get a different result, so I don't think it is very accurate for some people.

So, this thread has been dead for a while. I'm getting into older Janne these last few weeks and I'm really enjoying most of it. "Dearly" is an incredible album.
 
What's everyone's favorite albums/songs? Mine has been "Judgement" for years now.
 
 

Thanks for being honest with us, and yourself as well. It takes a brave person to admit their faults, and admit to fucking up. The internet can be a cruel place, as anonymity brings out the worst in people. But remember this, the way people treat others is often a good indication of how they feel about themselves. So just have empathy on those who come at you with hate and negativity. Believe it or not, they need it too.
 
And no need to beat yourself up. Every single one of us is flawed as fuck, we all do dumb shit, and ain't nobody better than another. What matters most is that you learn from your mistakes and do better. So if you want to leave, that's up to you, but you're always perfectly welcome here!

Hey guys, it's me, @SilverEspeon__

I just want to come in here and come out with the truth. You were right. I am the same person. All of them are me. A lonely little loser girl in college.
 
I just want to say that I am truly sorry for every shitty thing I've done, and this will probably be my last post. I'm sorry for all the lies, I'm sorry for all the things I've said, I'm sorry for what I have done. I thank the mods for giving me a wake-up call and making me see the lying attention-seeking shitstain I have been.
 
When I started out here, in late 2016, I was feeling awful mentally. I was lonely, I was feeling worthless. So I decided to do stupid things on here and other sites that I have long since left (like Reddit) for the sake of attention. I stumbled across this forum because I genuinely do like VK and I was looking around for news about some bands. I found out what got the most attention on here, and it just so happened to be something I liked at the time, and I decided to spam it. Even after I stopped liking it as much as I used to around late 2017, I kept it up because it gave me attention. It was only recently I started to feel better, and I started to see what I had done. I made several accounts to start "drama", I made more of them to avoid consequences, I made them to give myself validation. I was going to stop after my other 3 quite frankly stupid posts and leave. I tried to lie to get away without consequences. But it wasn't until the mods came and told me off that I truly came to my senses. I was a dirty liar, I was annoying, and I was a fucking idiot. I feel terrible about the things I've done here, and I wish I could turn back time and prevent it from happening.
 
This all sounds really cliché, but I really did feel horrible mentally, and I did awful things because of it. It didn't help that I was very lonely and I was feeling worthless either. I sought attention and validation, and I would get it, even if it was bad attention. I did that instead of seeking help.
 
In short, I was a lying attention-seeking idiot who just wanted reactions from people instead of seeking help. And I want to apologize for that.
 
You don't have to forgive me, and you can hate me and make fun of me all you want once I leave. Insult me, troll me, be condescending, spam my PMs, doubt me, be disrespectful, nitpick, harass me, anything. I deserve it. I have been a shitty person, and a dirty liar too, and I regret all of it. I'm going to try and better myself and start over, but I deserve every bad thing that happens to me after this.
 
Please never talk about this ever again. Try to forget about me. I don't want to be reminded about any of it. 

Take care everyone.

I can't stand the mixing on TIW. It sounds like it's playing through a microwave. I like the songs, but it's the first time I won't listen to a Dir en grey album because I think the mix is garbage.
 
MOAB sounds like a breath of fresh air in comparison lol

CD / VINYL / CASSETTE TAPE / ETC. MOCK UP THREAD
 
Japan releases a ton of music on CDs, but they don't really press things on other mediums like vinyl and cassette tapes. Especially in the visual kei field, you'd be hard pressed to find anything in these mediums. And, anything you do find on vinyl or cassette is usually extremely rare and expensive. One can always dream though of seeing your favorite Japanese music on a fancy colored vinyl or a weird retro medium like a floppy disc.
 
That's why I thought it'd be fun to start a thread where people can upload their own mockups of releases they'd like to see on other physical formats. I'll kick it off with one I've been thinking about for a few days now.
