New band pic and single pics to commemorate the new single's release:

me trying to read that title

as much as I like them, MtH is perfect /r/imsorandom material.

Oh it's this December, I thought it was next year. God, hopefully nothing bad happens while they're in NA. ><

I used to use Japonica. I heard Goody Japan now buys from Mercari as well.

Although I don't know how they compare to other services.

Maybe someone could make a comparison list? 🤔

all those fans who likes or discuss anything other than the music are creepy and annoying to me.

This, but unironically.

On fb, someone posted a picture of a drawing, with Kyo depicted as a baby and the other DEG members as his caretaker.

I wonder why people draw stuff like that, really. Is it some kind of projection of their fetish onto their idols? Do they get some kind of weird sexual satisfaction from it?

I mean, unlike those "x band/genre isn't even real music blabla" idiots, not wanting to listen to a convicted pedophile/child rapist is definitely a valid decision.

I actually know two people who stopped listening to Lostprophets because of it. I never listened to them and I certainly have no interest to start doing so now.

I guess in the end, it depends on each individual's moral compass.

1. Lostprophets, bands w/ Denis Stoff, Michael Jackson... there's a bunch tbh.

The FBI never found any indication that Michael Jackson was a kiddy diddler. Like, nothing at all. The entire thing is something fabricated by money-hungry people and their lawyers, in unison with the media's thirst for drama.

And Denis is just a dick, or did he do anything comparable to what Watkins did?

well pedos should want to kill themselves tbqh.

Yeah, fuck them and their sexual orientation they have literally no control over. Because as we all know, only pedophiles do bad things because of their sexual orientation. A gay person has never raped another person ever! /s

Pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, it's a sexual attraction. There's a difference I should've known about.

I didn't mean to compare gays to pedophiles in any way. That wasn't my intention, I'm sorry.

If you're going rare hunting, please let me know should you find anything from indies Dir en grey (1997-1999) like VHS tapes, cassettes, as well as the band member's former bands. I can give you a list if you don't know them.

Also, please be on the lookout for the magazine "Vi:lletté". Thank you!

Definitely anticipated. Sadew has a nice voice, if they continue from before he left, I'll absolutely enjoy the album.

If it's on YouTube, can it really be considered obscure?

Tickets for the EU tour will go on sale on June 28.

Every release without SUSTAIN THE UNTRUTH is a good release, in my book.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yeah, it's the same as always. Limited version has eight or so live songs and the making of the single, first press has three or so live songs and the making of.

Nothing unusual, so far. I'm more excited for the two missing tracks on the main single. Re-recording and live recording, probably.

I offered you $30 a while ago on ebay, which is more than I paid for almost any other VHS tape I bought.

Usually, the prices are between 1000 and 2000 JPN. So that's $20 at most. If you want me to, I can show you proof of the prices I paid, of course.

So yeah, I'd happily take them for $30. Not sure about the shipping, though. Haven't really ordered from the states before.

Oh, so you found your way here, that's good.

I'm still interested in the VHS tapes, but I'm wondering, where did you infer the asking price from, on ebay?

Still better than INFINITUM by kek.

CHARM (Kaoru's ex-band) demo tape. It was put up for sale and sold in the time I didn't check CHARM's puresound... unlucky ><

I'm about 99% sure I'm going to see that comment on a certain someone's tumblr tomorrow.
