IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE
 

Added the rest of the band since they absolutely wrote it all together.  (Yes Gillian Anderson is taking Sugizo's place playing the guitar)

Yoshiki has ascended above and beyond meme level status. He just keeps on giving.

yoshiki doing just about anything (besides releasing that album) to stay relevant in these trying times

I'd rather talk about the ones that deserve it.

100% agree with the phone thing! That would be amazing, especially as I think it kind of ruins the moment for the person recording as well, like you say, why record a shite video when you can actually just be in the moment and enjoy the show? Like, you wouldn't record 30 seconds of a theatre show or whatever as you're supposed to be engrossed in it, so why do the same for a gig?

The fans didn't bother me really, if anything the screaming is good because they need to be shown that we want them to come back. Japanese fans are just as bad anyway.
 
But the phones, jesus fucking christ. Every single gig I go to there's morons holding their arms up like orangutans filming a shitty crusty video they're never going to watch again. The band are LITERALLY RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THEM. It's unfair for people who actually want to watch the show with their own eyes. It's already hard enough at concerts with tall people, so the phones make it worse. I forced myself in front of a guy towards the end because I just couldn't see because of his disgusting arm.
 
When I went to see Jack White in London he had a service he uses on tour where you're made to put your phone in a tiny bag that you can only unlock by leaving the room or at the end of the concert. I wish this was compulsory at every show. Just saying "photography/filming forbidden" isn't enough, and they don't enforce it when the show starts anyway. The ability to film needs to literally be taken away from them.

They were cool, but holy shit, cringey weeb fans galore.... What would you expect when a Japanese band come here though I guess? Like I swear to god, half these people have never been to a gig before, was the same when Dir played, everyone over-reacting like a bunch of babies at their first disco. Here's how it goes:

Ruki: "wooo" - *crowd* "omggggggggggfuckingyesamazingcantcontrolmyseljlkfhfjhfhffff"
*Ruki gets a plastic bottle and sprays water on crowd* - *crowd* "omgfukknwoorterrrrrrrromgholyamazinggodlikefucknidhfjlhiuueeiiiii"
*Reita does gun fingers for like a second* - *crowd* "omggunfingaaazsocoolitsawsummmffffzziu"
*literally nothing happens during the encore* - *crowd starts cheering like the cure to cancer has just been discovered* - *random roadie walks out* LOOOOOOL. haha.
 
Seriously, I love the bands and the music but the crowd at these gigs are always so horrendously cringe and immature, I'm debating whether to even bother seeing Japanese bands anymore, specially when you have to watch the gig through peoples phones because there are so bloody many blocking your view you can't see shit anyway.

Finally gave this album some listens. It's not my favorite, but it isn't awful. It did take quite a few tries for it to sink in. Tada, Mada, Watashi is great and  Kimi wa Mukidashi, pretty sure uta composed it, is incredible. That one and waizatsu are my favourite tracks. Dorothy hasn't clicked with me, but it gives such a Stranger Things vibe. It's a shame that so many songs have technically memorable parts which are super short and only played once and then forgotten, like that solo in waizatsu. 

Yoshiki so I can see what he actually does all day cuz it's clearly not writing that album.

Night out in Tokyo with Takeru (SuG). He seems pretty kinky so hopefully he'd show me some cool bdsm clubs in town before I promptly ditched him for some hot mistress. 

Eternally grateful for the lyrics, a subscriber or mine was kind enough to point out they were posted here (I've been waiting on rocklyric and the likes)

With absolute all due respect, I just have one thing to point out - from what I can hear, my interpretation is that 現実/genjitsu has been changed to 今/ima in the song (a pretty common switch I seem to run into!)

Here is my take for a translation, I do drive a YouTube channel (tho never been one to plug myself so it feels weird) and I'll link the video as well.
Thank you, once again!

 

 
 

Thanks for the Kanji, haven't been able to find anywhere. Will try to translate this week if no one else does beforehand.
