      I'm just glad my favorite band still puts out good consistent music. Cuz I agree, some of it now is not as good as back in the day.

      this status was just supposed to be a joke about how i like all vk. i don't think vk is going to end in 2019 :<

      Ooh... gomen.

      To be fair, though, I don't think it'll end, either. It just probably might not be as great as it is now (I hope that's not the case and that it continues to improve). Who knows?

  3. alright folks, in your personal opinion what is the WORST vk release you've ever heard

      @patientZERO I hate this song with every fibre of my being. I remember seeing those guys in old Shoxx and Cure's around 2009 and I vividly remember how stupid I thought they looked lol

  5. always find it weird when people insist this "era" of vk is deprived of talent, every era of vk up to now has been filled with talentless hacks, you just don't remember them because they were so unworthy of recollection that your brain basically filtered them out. there was no "golden era" where every band was good, you just don't have an eidetic memory that allows you to vividly recall hundreds of singles by mediocre knockoff bands you listened to in 2010

  6. anyone give me examples of vk guys who transitioned and became women? i know anzu from atmos*note is one and there's another relatively famous case that ive forgotten and its annoying me

    1. colorful人生

      Yuuri from Irokui is probably the one you're thinking of.

      Dinah from Guniw Tools/Nookicky if I remember correctly

      IROKUI YUURI that's exactly who i was thinking of. thank you

  7. confession: every time i see a page on lastfm where a vk band shares a page with other bands, i rearrange the bio so the vk band comes first

      tbh i've used it for so long now that it's just a habit. i compulsively move information around on a dead website to suit my own personal tastes and no one is there to stop me

  8. dont know if i like the new dimlim album :((

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      Just talking musically, its not a bad album...

      ...but taking the rest of their discography into account, and all the behind the scenes drama, it's really hard for me personally to like it

  9. hit me with ur shittiest 90s goffik PVs pls i'm in that kinda mood

      i'll never forget the first time me and my infant son sat and watched deshabillz PVs

      Gotta introduce the little tykes to the good songs early on. Have them listen to Deshabillz as babies and as teens, they'll be listening to Dir en Grey and La'mule

      wellll, im probably not the best to take on the topic as I've been here all of two months and I, myself been catching up on 10-or-so years of vk BUT that said, here goes nothing, in no particular order: 

       

      - DIMLIM lost two members (gt. and bass), and the world held its breath for a while, but they've just announced an album for December (as a trio) so we can all rest easy for now

      - nokubura's future is still unsure, as right after the single supposedly dissing the two lost members, their new guitarist was caught with marijuana ~karma is a bitch~

      - Despa's Hizumi is back doing some electro vk and everyone and their mother is salty about it

      - Yoshiki continues to be an asshole, hardly a news at this point, he made a 10mln yen donation to Kyoto Animation, which is all well and good if he didn't milk it for publicity to the last drop; he also met the UK royal family, unsure if it's related

      - Yumeleep lost a drummer and I'm not entirely sure which side is the general public on, since there was shade thrown from both sides, as far as I know, related to internal bullying (I'm not really a fan so dunno)

      - there's a new band around - MOTHER - and that wouldn't be anything noteworthy if it wasn't for their, let's say unique, promo campaign, check out their thread XD

      - also not strictly vk, but there are some additions to forum rules so also check that out I guess

       

      that's about for the stuff I cared to remember from the past 2mo ^^;

      Kind of hope they go back to what they had going with steroid and 0 

  12. i was planning to do a tape rip a day for a while but that'll have to be put on hold as i've just become technically homeless (i'm not living on the street, but i have no permanent place of residence, i'm couch-surfing). my tape collection is safe in storage so the uploads will resume once i'm back on my feet!

  13. i was so late to the party on gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy, what a fucking good band

  14. I wish more bands were creative with the intro SE tracks. The combined time I've spent listening to 90 seconds of budget electronic as a prelude to a pretty-good-not-great VK album probably adds up to days.

  15. In your opinion what's the most overrated vk band? Active or disbanded, any era. Just curious.

      Glay... But it's possible I'll like them one day.  I have a laundry list of bands that I disliked at one time but I really like now (Deg, MUCC, L'arc, SID, B'z, etc).

    4. nekkichi

      nekkichi

      no henny early glay were really good, they should have released 1/20-th of their post-2000 output and heavily reconsidered publishing the rest though.

      i wanted to like nepenthes so much more than i did. i just wanted more SLIVERS.exe style stuff from them tbh.

       

      also i've heard that tzk was kind of a bully to the other members later on in their career but i'm not sure how much of a meme that is

    3. Rize

      Same! Hmm, I wonder about that. He's still making music together with Koichi, so I wonder how bad that could be.

      may just be one of those vk rumours that gets passed around. i'll fucking kick his ass if i find out he was mean to my boy Meto though >:c

      i’d probably quit using it too, but i’m a big fan of being able to track things and keep stats for them.  it’s v satisfying.  maybe if someone made something similar to last.fm that did things better.  but it seems like people are more interested in tracking what shows/movies they watch than music.  dont get me wrong, i use sites for that kinda thing too.  it’s just cool to be able to look at my listening history too.

      I quite like the new layout of the artist pages actually, but the new 'recent tracks' part looks so lame, lol.

  21. listening to doginthePWO and having a weirdly specific nostalgic flashback to a time i was sitting in the park in the city centre in the August sun with my weeb friends, we were all arguing about death note ships. we had my oshare folder playing on shuffle on a portable speaker. we're all wearing studded rainbow belts and have awkwardly gelled spiked hair in some kind of budget-vk/scene kid combo. one kid literally just wore his L cosplay and took his fucking shoes off outdoors in a public park to complete the look. the same kid brought his copy of the first volume of black butler (which had JUST come out in english) and we all huddled round and read it over his shoulder lmao, with A9 and paradeis playing in the background like it was the most normal shit ever. i really miss those times ;-; 

  22. lots of clean singing in the new jiluka :3 love it

  23. my dad is a huge fan of classic rock and metal so i showed him some of the formative vk bands like kamaitachi, color, aion etc and he didn't like any of em :< should have put maria cross on instead

    3. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      I'd recommend Ziggy, X Japan, Vasalla, and D'erlanger, but the fact he didn't like Aion or COLOR probably means he wouldn't like these either

      What kinda music does your dad dig ? For a typical dad into butt rock, I'd totally go with X's blue blood/vanishing vision.

  24. my fav thing about the yoshiki scarf thing is that the queen didnt even notice because shes like 150 years old and probably doesnt even know where or who she is

      She's probably a hologram at this point, lets face it (Actually, that would explain how Yoshiki's always everywhere too, hmm)

      she's actually been dead for a few years now. they just hook her up to a generator and shoot electricity through her whenever she needs to make a public appearance
