Mephistopheles

I blocked all of my family off from my personal facebook for many years because of how they felt about my relationship with my fiance. Only recently did I add back my mother, step siblings, and step-father, but I still filter them out of some posts I make because of the past.

Welcome back². It's been a busy year in the Jrock-sphere. Hope to see you around the forum

Thank you! I have a lot of catching up to do and a lot of music to download!

I have been inactive for several months and resurfaced today. I am still rather out of the loop regarding many current events in the Jrock world but I am interested in expanding my music library beyond what I am familiar and comfortable with currently.

There was Arakawa-san from zoisite taking photos. She's already posted some of them on twitter and hopefully will publish some more soon. 

But I doubt there'll be a video. I saw no other cameras. 

 

 

I have been sick a lot lately and just seeing this thread alive with Mako's face all over it is so uplifting. I can only imagine how much energy there was in that live show among the fans. I would have been crying. Thank you for updating us!

Hello there.

I have been the China, Taiwan, Japan, and Canada. Would like to visit Mexico sometime but my  dad is concerned about safety along the border so I'm not sure if I will have a chance to go.

 

I  have been to Japan twice and would love to go again. The last time I was there in 2014 for an exchange program I made a lot of friends and it would be nice to see some of them again. I enjoyed planning my own trip there last time and I have an itinerary ready for whenever I can go again.

What part of Mexico are you wanting to visit? Flights are usually very reasonable, so you can always avoid driving through the border that way. I will be travelling to Puerto Morelos near the Yucatan Peninsula in June, and from my research it appears to be a generally safe place to visit. I have also been to the border for immigration purposes when I first moved from Pakistan to the U.S.A, and though it is extremely busy and chaotic even, it was really not more unsafe than any large U.S city honestly. I feel like Houston, TX which is where I used to live, was more dangerous than the border.

I would love to own more deadman merchandise, but what I am looking for quite desperately is Mako's photobook, buried alive by words. I have the scans, but I would absolutely adore the actual book if someone out there has it for sale or knows of a place where it is in stock. I search the auctions occasionally, but I have not had any luck as of yet.

Heey welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay here

Thank you very much!

Ooh I enjoy Dream Theater. Welcome.

Hello and welcome

I am watching The Girl King at this exact moment, and so far it is quite intriguing. I absolutely adore period setting films though, so I may simply be biased in stating that I adore this film.

Their World Maker album had a couple of good songs, this being one of them imo.

Oh that is very different, but it is catchy I must admit. I enjoyed it, though if I was listening to it without knowing who I was listening to I do not think I would have been easily able to identify them.

I was hoping there would be a travel topic somewhere on this forum as I take great pleasure in travelling.

I had actually made plans to travel to Japan in 2014, but due to management shift at the department I worked for, I was laid off and I was far too concerned with surviving than travelling so I was unable to follow through with the plan. 

I was born in Karachi, Pakistan and my entire life revolved around travel seeing as my parents shared a passion for exploring the world which I inherited from them. When I was very small we visited Lahore, Islamabad, and Murree in Punjab, all in Pakistan. We also visited India, but I was too small to remember it so I do not know it will count. When I was five years old we visited Dubai, and I distinctly recall how beautiful it was and how clear the water was at the beach we visited. After that we visited New York, U.S.A and from there we drove to Florida to experience Disney World before flying back to Karachi. 

When I was eleven years old we moved to Texas, U.S.A and since then I have visited Maryland, New Jersey, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Then I went to Dublin and Shannon, Ireland when I was nineteen years old. I went to Paris, France when I turned twenty one years of age.

I will be going to Puerto Morelos in the Mexican Caribbean this June 2017 for a vacation with my fiance and her family. We plan to visit New Zealand, Italy, London, and then we may plan for Japan after that.  Honestly, I am so enamored by the beauty of this world that I want to see every part of it before I die if I can. 

Aside from groceries, the last thing I purchased was Kat Von Dx Too Faced Better Together Palette with the lip and cheek bag, Urban Decay potion primer, Rodan + Fields microdermabrasion scrub, a pedicure, and an iced smoked butterscotch latte from Starbucks.

I know this thread is very dead but I think I am one of two lesbians in the entire vk fandom.

You can add me to that. I absolutely adore the ladies.

Did they really go soft? That is so disappointing to come back to.

This will always be my favorite band, so I am so glad to see a thread devoted to them. 

I really enjoyed the Babadook film. I felt it was not as frightening as it could have been, but it was quite well made for what it was.

deadman, kein, Sugar, 9Goats Black Out, Girugamesh, and Amber Gris were my favorite bands before they disbanded, with deadman being my absolute favorite.

Furthermore I could only think of 8 bands because most of the bands I enjoyed are disbanded.

1. More

2. the god and the death stars

3. Hollowgram

4. KEEL

5. D

6. Lynch

7. MUCC

8. heidi.

Fans said that by the end of that tour he seemed drunk-ish at lives, probably because of all the painkillers he took before performing :/

Ah that breaks my heart.

Thankfully, it's the type of problem that doesn't directly affect the vocal chords.
I think he went through at least two surgeries to accelerate treatment :/

Indeed, but unfortunately it is very painful and I do hope he has good physicians who work with pain management for him because if he is taking prescription pain medication for the discomfort for a long period of time, his liver and kidneys will deteriorate as a result. It is a double edged sword.

It wasn't very long, Asagi just had to recover from vocal troubles.

Thank you for letting me know.
