Well, it seems like there are two options who this person is:
- a troll - a good one, btw, can feel the vibes of image boards like 4chan.
- a completely ignorant fangirl who is obsessed with defending Lets. Gives me the vibes of that Irkutsk chick who managed to convince Dimlim to come to a town in the middle of Siberian nowhere.
 
Regardless, I like how mods are generous enough to not ban a member who is not adding anything constructive to the discussion.

Man, I would looooooooove Lets to read everything here. That would be a ton of fun.

So, I had plenty of time in the last half a year to listen to the entire Dimlim discography and I came to a conclusion that I would have preferred their last album to come out as a 2-3 songs maxi-single. "What's up", "Tick-tak" and some other song maybe.
 
Why? Well, Rijin was already a move into something not really metalcore or anything Dimlim used to be. And the two songs I mentioned above are sort of a nice continuation in that direction.
 
BUT. The whole album on it's own is a mess. All of the other songs have no memorable parts whatsover. The only thing I can recall from other songs is Sho's whiny "for the future" outro from the same song. And it's not because other songs are with complex structure or "math-rock" (hell no) inspired that makes it difficult to memorize. It simply is an uninspired pile of garbage that Lets for whatever "essense"-tial reasons decided to release as an album.

they do features once in a while...
 
 
it's typically an ojisan member helping a start-up band or an approaching irrelevancy act to get up from their knees:
 
miyavi's debut lives with Pata and later having a sugizo feature before parting ways with PSC also come to mind, or random one time session bands that play for a night or two and never record anything.
 
soan project was a temporary project with bandmen from various active/semi-active bands that released stuff in two different line-ups so it's not the same, but it still more or less fits the mold
 
crystal lake fronteuse seams to contribute his vocal effort pretty lavishly around 
 
sukekiyo b-sides and bonus disks are stuffed with features
 
starwave is often shat on, but their acts provide more or less asinine self-covers with different vocalists every once in a while
unless it's a legacy act providing the feature, there's little point in doing this in vk: gya stanning is typically focused on a single band or a particular member and his projects, and most bands regularly playing/socializing together would rather do split VA comp albums (which as a tradition seems to fade away as legacy labels close and major ones typically not bothering with this at all.)

he's not liked by stans and his past band members (who unfollowed him while staying in touch with Sho) on the consistent account of his twat behaviour,
 
 
good luck ignoring that elephant in the room everyone here tries to point out 2 u

This post served its purpose so I will let it expire.

I just checked all the likes for their premi-ere-um live on twitter, and it's all vk-inclined Japanese people and weebs. Those mythical math rock fans were not present, so I guess they don't use twitter—or they could be off-the-grid too, so to speak, because they don't seem to play DIMLIM much on Spotify either, since all the artists that "the fans of this band like" are vk bands. Maybe the stats haven't updated yet idk
 
Lets brought this on himself with his complete lack of self-awareness and people skills. Their fans started making fun of them for not having a bassist only because Lets is doing his best to pretend that it's not an issue. One tweet going "we're looking for a new bassist please be patient kittekudasai and sunimaseenn" and no one would mention it ever again. 
Under normal circumstances I would have no sympathy for entitled gya either, but Lets should be aware that if you get backlash for something from the people you depend on, the solution is not to double down on everything that got you the backlash in the first place while blocking people left, right and center. I don't have anything against such an abrasive outsider art approach to PR either, but it's obvious that they still rely on those fans to even have a career. It's indisputable that all the people who bought their tickets in America are weebs and I won't listen to anything saying otherwise.
 
If he just made one self-deprecating tweet about this whole thing then it would all be over and people would stop shitting on them and go on waiting for new music, but no, Lets is his own biggest mark and he'll instead focus on the E S S E N C E, which is biting the hand that feeds you. People didn't shit on Yeti when Emiru moved on to play indie rock for a non-vk crowd. If they didn't do this shit and have their one-member street team here, then this topic would be dead. Now people are just enjoying the ride before it crashes.

Didn't you know?
 
Saying your opinion is trolling. Unless you're saying dimlim is the second coming of christ. Then you may state your opinion. Anyway, beware of this new rule cuz I'mma have to start giving out warnings and bans around here

Not a chance in hell in this band is signed or getting signed. On Tanuki people aren't even sure if they're even active anymore. They've built a reputation for poor PR and a categorical refusal to do any of the activities that actually get fans in Japan. They probably only got this far with Issei's help, who took Nazare to a similar level of notoriety in like half the time while DIMLIM got nowhere. Who would sign such a band that's commercially on their last legs? Everything here just reeks bush league from letting a horny gya organize a gig in fucking Irkutsk of all places to hyping up a web shop that ends up not even materializing. Doing an overseas tour is not an achievement either considering you only got tiny live houses. It wasn't that long ago when vk bands came to Europe and the live houses averaged the capacity of 500 ppl minimum. Even Satsuki of the Rentrer en Soi and pedophilia fame had a house in Helsinki with the capacity of 600 at the stage of his career when he was completely washed up. Weebs will show up for anything. 
 
I like this band. It's just beyond salvageable at this point unless the members have a day job to finance it. 
 
 

It freaks me out how much someone is so obsessive over defending a band that is basically already dead. I've given up basically as they clearly aren't taking notice of what anyone is actually saying and is turning every negative point into some convoluted sign that the band is still doing great and everything is perfect. It's legit pretty creepy.
 
+ I have an inkling that this member is someone who has posted in this forum using a different username and come under fire from other members several times in other threads for the same kind of thing. haha. + + That member was also obsessed with Retsu/DIMLIM so it's hardly far out that this is the same person. lol.

why does the entire forum fight the last alive fan of damlam, let sister live the delusion land

That is because barely any jrock bands are touring overseas these past few years. Whenever one DOES go abroad, Brazil is a sure stop.

they reliably serve incel vibe every time there's an attempt at growing that

I feel like I don't hear him here as well. Listening to meth. and 404NOTFOUND really REALLY much in the past I can't hear any resemplence vocal wise with the new song. His voice was very recognizable and did not change much from 2005 to 2010 so even we are nearly 10 years later now I can't believe it should be Akito. Is there a mistake or did he have a very very late puberty vocal change?! His pronunciation or word accentuation seems a little similar tho.. but the pitch is just SO different.

Spiritbox is awesome, I approve of whatever comes of this collaboration.

Time to serve some boiling hot tea today, folks...
 
Seven years after leaving AvelCain, Kasumi has written a sort of exposé of his time in the band, notably the moment when he wanted to leave the band due to his illness, but was ultimately turned away by management. 
 
Quick summary as I cannot provide a full accurate translation:
Kasumi valued his time in AvelCain, but due to suffering from facial paralysis and alopecia areata (bald spots) at the time, he was unable to continue and he requested that he leave the band. The president of Shimizuya Records turned him away, allegedly stating that they "didn't care for his story". Kasumi considered suicide as an only way out of the band, and he even tried jumping off of a 4 story condo (as he lived in a rural area) but fortunately came out unscathed. He has since recovered from his conditions (although he still suffers from paralysis when he gets tired) but he still suffers from depression as a result from his experience from being in the band, which included being naked in front of female staff, being beaten in front of his members, and even licking the nipples of a senior bandman. Despite all that, he still respects the band members, the label, and the bangya who have supported them.

He has also posted additional tweets on his Twitter account about not being paid for songs he composed, band merch, or several fees he's paid out of pocket (transportation, costumes, recording, shooting) even after he had left the band. Overall, he states that this is a warning to young bandmen and hopes that this behavior still isn't going on today.
