Ruri

i'd be inclined to agree but whenever i mention DIAURA to someone (or when they see my DIAURA flyer on my wall) they almost invariably go "heh, diarrhea?"
 
i always thought JILUKA had a nice ring to it. i feel like "Nocturnal Bloodlust" would also get you hyped to listen to them

when Yoshiki was in British news because his scarf landed on the queen's shoulder during some horse racing event. half the publications called him "scarf lady"

ok can i do like £11 since thats the amount of money i have on my desk next to me right now lol?
 
if you want more thats no big deal i dont wanna be too cheeky abt this

how many of those magazines do you have? i like to collect vk mags & im very interested in those 👀
 
& can you ship to uk?

Toxcity is a thing which afflicts any fandom, because there are most people who doesn't distinguish between being a fan and a parasite....
Unfortunately I had some contact with such people and some things you posted above are a minimum part of a creepier reality...
I read on the net a quote used by a fan about a thing not related to visual kei (and to music in general), which says: "Fandom is fandom's evil."
Simply meaning that a fandom is made mainly by toxic people, who uses social media for insulting others, their presumed favourite artists, without caring about the consequences of their actions...
In particular there are a lot of people critcizing each damn band from Starwave Records, not only because of Kiwamu's attitude, but only because they have features common to DEG and old-school bands; the recent drama about Takemasa from Kiryu; all the mad gossip around Gackt; the toxic pandemonium known as TANUKI; the feud between DEG and GazettE's "fans"; the fanservice about musicians who some people think to be engaged; the people (especially in the West) who attend to expensive concerts only for picking up torn clothes (referring to Mana's sad adventure in Milan concert on 2007, when his dress was torn up, https://tensi-chan.livejournal.com/21912.html) and not knowing any single word of the songs (DEG when toured on USA sometime ago), or claiming that people are not GazettE's fans because they don't have Heresy subscription...
There is more to talk about... but this attitude is wrong and stupid and hurts the true supporters of a scene, the musicians and the genre itself, seen as a fetish for fanboys and fangirls and nothing else...

(･ω･ )ノ hey guys whats going on in this thre-

(･Д･ ;;) =3 im outta here

looking at pics of your fave kawaii jrocker and getting radiation poisoning #justtoxicvkthings

Diru fans who hate Gauze honestly confuse me. Like, it's one of their most influential and iconic releases. I can understand personally not caring for it. But fans that full on hate it really confuse me.

''wow i sure as hell hate people being toxic and saying meanie things about my faves, got damn elitists!"
 
*harasses some completely uninvolved person for absolutely no reason*

person in the dir fandom using that song as their screen name
originally from livejournal days but now on tumblr, v toxic, harasses/argues with everyone who disagrees with her
has an incredibly unhealthy obsession with Kyo, no one knows him as well as she does!!!!! 

i see kpop fans decrying toxicity in their fandom and im like. psshh if only u knew

jajajajajajajajaja XD

the only other genre i know of that has an abundance of ambiguous nazism is black metal, and it's funny to think that it shares that in common with squeaky-clean azn femboy pop-rock

jajajajajajajajaja XD

Maybe he meant to call it "Princess Passed Out On The Stairs"?

It's basically just a load of hostile weirdos talking shit about people they claim to care about, soooo... yes.

i really like tsuzuku's clean singing but not like his banshee squealing when he does harsh vocals. its rough and he oversells it but that works for me. compositionally i think they were fantastic. definitely pretty unique & probably one of my favs just for that
 
i simply cannot will myself to care about 8p-sb though

I remember the fan rivalry all over the internet around ten years ago and then nothing. People going out of their way to tell you not to listen to the Gazette in Deg circles and whatnot. Funny stuff. This was around the time when Kyo's live performances mostly consisted of throwing shit, wearing a bucket, and bleeding, and boy did Deg fans think they were so HARDCORE because their favorite band featured an absolute madman. I'm not surprised that Gazette fans felt they were being bullied by those dinguses.
There's always been elitism with vk fans around the internet, but I guess the worst of it gravitates toward the deep circle of hell that is Youtube comments.

They say everything in sarcasm or irony.

i have some super ultra rarez but I'm not going to share them because I'm an asshole
