Of course the "scene" is different in Japan than it is to foreign fans. To me there is no scene. To me the scene is the bands and Monochrome Heaven and The Internet. The only band from Japan I saw live was Dir en Grey when they toured with Korn. And the performance of Kyo pretty much slaughtered my faith in the band for a while. Anyway, I don't really frequent any fan communities, I don't care about gossip or anything about the band members personal lives. All I care about is the music and the fact that they look pretty. To me that is all there is to visual kei. I'm sure it's different in places with more visual kei fans like California or wherever else they exist and places where bands actually tour (Europe.) But here in America if you live in between the cities and don't get out much the scene is on the internet. I don't really have anyone in real life that cares to listen to me talk about the bands I like or wanna hear the music I listen to when I'm not with people. I don't hide the fact that I listen to visual kei in anyway and people do think I'm weird. I've dressed visual kei and done my hair up and all kinds of things. (I still always want to but I can't afford to wear awesome outfits and have awesome styled hair all the time.) When I did dress that way I met a Japanese girl at a party(pseudo-modern-american-raves) [she actually turned out to be a Japanese woman but you know how slowly Japanese people age,] and I talked to her for a little while with my broken Japanoize and made her laugh a bunch and then we talked in english (she's apparently a DJ who spins acidtechno and is friends with a lot of my friends) and she told me I looked like I belonged in a visual kei band. I then told her in Japanese that I loved visual kei and she was really amazed that I even knew about it. I was surprised she even brought it up. She told me that most people that liked visual kei in Japan didn't really talk about it or show it and that it wasn't popular and that not many people listened to it. I told her about the giant fanbases on the internet and she got really amazed. Ahahahaha. I've never really had any illusions about visual kei. I see it for what it is. Fashion and music. I've always known that it wasn't as popular in Japan as it was here. The only thing I do know about visual kei is that I like it. 8D And to me that's all that matters. I feel like we internet communities of visual kei fans are almost like secret societies that just creep on this music from another country. Ahahaha.

This song is almost like the band is mocking it's foreign fans. I don't really think most SuG fans catch that with this song. (Seriously fans of most PSC bands are the most delusional.) The song is directly asking "Why don't you have more fun?" and "Do you hate the domestic?" and clearly quotes phrases and terms used by most weebees. Even the title. The whole song is almost like it's shouting "HEY. WHY ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS WHEN YOU COULD BE LISTENING TO MUSIC FROM YOUR OWN COUNTRY AND GOING OUT AND HAVING FUN AT REAL LIVE SHOWS AND ACTUALLY BE A PART OF SOMETHING INSTEAD OF OBSERVING FROM AFAR?" Ahahaha.
