New look:

looks like they changed their twitter @ btw
i'm living for that promo image, can already imagine it being hastily printed on some laserjet and put in a slimline CD-R case, then sold a decade plus later on rarezhut for like five bucks. will their OHP be hosted on maho.jp? hopefully they sound the part as well.

the official statement is harsh, but the member comments speak about Qs quite fondly. i get the feeling that whatever happened is strictly a management vs. Qs thing.

Great, now I'm not gonna be able to not do that.
 
I used to have a looped audio clip of Kamijo screaming "NYAAAAH" as my alarm. I once just snoozed it without actually turning it off and I heard it from downstairs about nine minutes after I got up, so I had to run upstairs and turn it off before I woke everyone in the house up.

ダウト (d=out) x イロクイ。(irokui.) DREAM TWOMAN LIVE will take place on April 30-May 1 at Shibuya WWWX!
 

In that case visual kei might not be for you
 
 

Y'all can't deny the raw power exuded at 2:07.

So this just happened.

I don't listen to a lot of vk downloads I get, I just download them as soon as possible before the link dies and then forget about them. orz

the closest thing i've ever heard to a full X JAPAN song is a cover by an idolm@ster girl
i saw one of my favorite bandmen on a date in public and hid behind a clothing rack so he wouldn't notice me

.

I don't give a shit about X Japan. I've never listened to them and I have no desire to start.

i ran away from home on my birthday once cuz i got scolded by my mom for watching lynch dvd lol

i firmly believe every single story posted on tanuki is true even when they contradict w/ other stories posted on there

I used to do that every now and again, but I think I eventually got sick of reading it because I didn't like to think of my favourite musicians like that even if I never believed a word of it. I dunno, maybe my mental constitution's weak in that area? Either way, it's a curious subject.

I don't believe the shit on tanuki but I still read it and imagine how the rumour/story came about. It's like reading a book that gives me all sorts of reactions like "no he didn't!" 

Traduction of Mukai's comment :
 
"One day, early in the summer of 2018, I was drunk. And I told myself.
I want to play with them again, with NUMBER GIRL, at RISING.
And then, I thought to myself that I wanted to make money. I was drunk.
So I called them. For the first time in a very long time.
And finally, we will do it.
And if possible, I wish it was not a one-shot."

Sooo... is this a one-gig only reunion or will they be back for good, is what I wonder. In any case good to see them back!!
 
(First SPARTA LOCALS, now NUMBER GIRL - the indie gods are too generous ;w; )

NICE
now bring back supercar too 

the last line, i think, is mukai saying “if possible I want to do a couple more shows" so we'll see!
