@TomoMAD @suji @IGM_Oficial thanks, everyone! ❤️ 

Pretty excited about this lineup. Bonus: I'm dragging two of my friends who don't care about VK!

I think this will happen, cause is DRAMA and people love drama in VK hahaha

Yep hahaha
but if in japan exist some law that punish who made "cyber bullying" or expose some private photos, this must have ended a long time ago  
i don't know 

And maybe the twitter will be more filled with DRAMA.
 
-never mind that previous sentence-

Yesterday, I wanted to look up something at visualtanuki.
However...
 
 
It seems that http://new02.bbs.2ch2.net/visualtanuki/ has been closed down perennial.
 
Will this be a close down forever? our would we have a new gossip board after a while again? Because the owner didn't  pay for hosting? or for whatever temporary reason. 
Or maybe it's closed because of a "LAW" matter?
Because people shared pretty much lot's of private photo's etc on the board. 
What do you think?!
 
If someone knows more about it, because of checking visualtanuki on a daily base, please let us know. 
 
 
Of course;
DAMN, the gossipers need to search for a new hobby now. Even it was fun to read their "anger" 

 

Infamous visual kei gossip message board, Tanuki, has been down since May 31, for unknown reasons... Is it dead? Is this the end of the Shit Noodle™? Have the rumors about kusomen/STDs/scat fetishes/etc. finally been put to rest?!
 
We just don't know.
 

 
Whether it's site issues or something worse, it's currently unknown what exactly happened.
 
*For those who don't know anything about tanuki, here's a brilliant post about its history, written by @cvltic

I'd say live dist. annoys me the least in this list. Producing music is expensive and spending more so three foreign fans will buy your single is just not worth it when you can keep it live and have 30+ people in japan who WILL go to your live and buy it.
We all know for average indie bands there's very few people overseas who actually do buy the releases if they are not uploaded, the most prominent example being the interesting discussion I had last night with @Duwang about 甘い簿力. If they did sold their CDs overseas, how many would actually purchase them and how many would just wait until someone else uploads them?
Sure, it's a hassle for foreign fans, but I can really see why some bands go that route or reward faithful attendees with a live dist song. Both Gotcharocka and D give a song for free about once a year at a tour final and it must be a nice present for those who actually do spend time and money on them. Why is a random fan in Europe who does not spend a dime on the band (because other bands are their priority) is suddenly entitled to have a HQ copy if the song? I think bands who don't abuse of live distributed releases do have the right to reward their fanbases.
 
Fandom jealousy, petty envy overseas and such are really bothersome. I can count with both hands cases of girls who've been bashed on social media by their fanbase just because they saved money and went to Japan and they fucking said they were there. I've been accused of bragging at least twice a year, for quite a while now,  for sharing what I get in the mail on my IG, and so have many others. That idiotic jealousy and comments such as "x band sucks, cuz their fangirls suck" hurt the scene much more tbh.

I understand you so much  i hate that 5 things, but other thing that i hate is when the booklet of the release comes with very few stuff (or even worse when the booklet comes without lyrics and photos, only the information of the band) . I'm not a fan of kpop but I understand that in their releases always deliver photos or other things, for almost the same price as in the VK, I don't know if some people also feel bad about that.

For as much as I love visual kei, there are plenty of practices I detest. I could go on forever. It wouldn't be fair to celebrate all of the good in the scene without admitting the bad as well. There are so many things that make me sad, make me irate, or make me want to rip my hair out that it was hard to settle on just five. Here's five commonplace practices in visual kei that's a total ball ache for any international fan invested into the scene.
 

 
 


 

 

 
Like I said above, I have way more than five things that annoy me about the scene. Does anyone else want to fill in the gaps with practices that they hate that they've come to accept within the scene? Come share your frustrations and horror stories with me. We have plenty of tea and live-distributed crackers for you.

Hexenprozess
詩・曲:  二人静
 
Kanji:
腐り逝く月夜の深淵鳴り響く静寂は
私にそっと履き違えた宿命を囁いた・・・
 
それが神の教えであるなら感情など要らない
私はただその意思に従うまでだ
 
運命が狂い始めた夜慈悲の無い神に問う
何故二人を惹き逢わせたのかと
私は何を求め何を得て何を失い
そしてこの汚れた手の中に何が残ったのだろう
 
十字架に吊るされた愛しい汝よ
涙を浮かべ 何故微笑んだ
薬指に光る果たせぬ約束から
眼を背けた私は感情を殺した
 
歪む視界の中 灯火に揺らめく記憶と面影
他の誰でもない 愛した汝だから
最期はせめて私の手で・・・
