    Maybe that dezert music video??

    Kinda creepy pv.

    But if you love horror, goth music, metal music simply nothing will shock you that fast.

    To get a real answer, ask your parants to give their comment. They will be shocked by some videos.

    And at least they will say.

    Why that dude dress up as a woman? Σ(゜Д゜)

    People get simply shocked because its not normal for them or unknown.

    But the visual kei now... its not shocking because nothing is that original.

    Yeah, that's the unfortunate part. There's been plenty of times where I wanted to support multiple bands, but obviously you can only say one band at the door. I just tried to support the others with buying goods and stuff when I could.

    Its really good to know for the next time. That I should to try to buy other band stuff too. At least if they played cool.

    Also realize that bands get paid according to how many people enter the venue and say they came for band X(at least in event lives). It doesn't matter if 1000 people showed up for a live, if nobody said they came for band X, then they get no money. So offering live-limited things is another way to get people to say they came for your band and not one of the other bands at the event.

    whut for real?

     

    but what if you come for all bands? =_=

    I hated that I had to choose when I did go to a gig.. I was ehhhh.. ok I pick this one XD but knowing that... then I know that I should pick the one with the most less fans. xD (at least if I buy a ticket at the door)

    and many bands also don't like to see their works uploaded for free at the internet. So thats for sure also a reason why they keep it so limited.

     

     

    so in the end I guess there are a few reasons

     

    1. getting people to their lives for getting more money

    2. getting it more difficult for oversea people to get it to upload it to the interwebs

    3. to make lives more special to sell/give something for free at a live date for those who always attend their lives.

    4. to gain money to be able to do a next gig etc

     

    The best thing you can do is; befriend to a japanese "fan". try to explain everything. And then hope she/he will help you out on their own free will. Then problem solved :P

    Not having someone; to hope that someone sell it at yahoo.mbok so that you can get it via a proxy. Or to hope that someone here at this forum did catch a copy somehow.

     

    But I always think in the end.

    If a band don't want to make it more easy available. Alright then, then not an extra 1000yen from me. saves me money :P

    They would maybe make more money.

    But they simply don't want to try it out.

    They simply only want to sell/give for free to those who attent the lives.

    All we can do is accept such thing.

     

    sometimes we can be lucky that they will SELL it to you. But 99,999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% they simply say "no. please don't ask again, please don't ask japanese fan for help"

    Wouldn't they make more money if they open up their music to everyone to buy it? I don't think it's normal because to me it always seemed more normal to allow all of your fans a chance to listen to your music regardless of where they are from.

     

    Not really, because oversea fans will put it online. soo.. then they will even sell lesser.. yes even japanese fans would download it.

    Even if you ask sometimes a band why not. they simply say the don't want too. As, I don't care that you cannot get it. not even all our own japanese fans can get it because not everyone lives in the area where we will distribute the live limited only single. So yeah... we simply should accept it and find a kind japanese fan which want to grab it or to make a copy of the CD. or whatever.

  10. Posted

    There is a simple reason why to do live limited singles.

     

    To get fans to their LIVES.

     

    if it would be available online such as digital download or simple in webstore store. Not all fans would go to the live. So lesser ticket sale. lesser LIVE money for them.

    Its all about the money :P

     

     

    However they still are stupid to not release later a "LIVE sold CD" pack.  (or would that mean that fans would wait for such release? and not going to the live gigs -_-)

    ■Synk;yetより大切なお知らせ■

    平素よりSynk;yetをご支援頂きまして誠にありがとうございます。

    皆様に大切なお知らせがございます。

    悪性リンパ腫(結節硬化型ホジキンリンパ腫)の治療後の経過観測中だったBa.栞-shiori-ですが、数回に渡るCTと触診の結果、右脇の下に腫瘍があることが判明しました。

    癌再発の恐れも十分あるため、バンドのスケジュールと手術室の空き状況を考慮し、3/27に生検手術を行わせていただきます。

    日帰りの手術にはなりますが、術後暫くの間は激しい痛みが伴うことが大いに予想されるため、術後約1～2週間の間、ライブ出演に関しては現状未定とさせていただきます。

    なお、ライブ出演の可否に関しましては本人の体調と医師の判断をを考慮した上で改めて発表致します。

    お客様、関係各所の皆様にご迷惑をおかけ致しますが、何卒ご理解の程よろしくお願い致します。

    ※上記の件に関しての払い戻し等の対応は致しませんのでご了承下さい。

    ＜Ba.栞-shiori-よりコメント＞

    昨年に引き続き、応援してくださった皆様には大変ご迷惑をおかけいたします。

    今年の1月より週に2日ほど病院に通い、検査を行ってきましたが、今回生検手術を受けることになりました。

    もし腫瘍が悪性で再発してしまった場合、今度は前回よりもさらにきつい治療、そして社会復帰にも1年近くかかる可能性があると言われています。

    また、治療後の生存率も前回よりもっと低いということも聞いています。

    もし再発していた場合、いつまでバンドが出来るか分からないし、次のワンマンが自分にとってのラストワンマンになってしまうかもしれない。

    メンバーやバンドの仲間たち、ファンのみんなともう会えないかもしれない。

    最近は1人になるとそのことばかり考えてしまいます。

    自分の病気には原因というものがないので、この気持ちをどこにぶつけていいのかも分からない。

    ただ、まだ腫瘍が良性の可能性もなきにしもあらずですし、今は目の前のライブや作品作り、バンド運営を自分の出来る限界までやるだけです。

    Ba.栞-shiori-

     

     

    And again a tumor is found. (-_-)/ so his pause start again at 3/27

    Acid Black Cherry 4th album. A release which is better than my first exceptions.
    This album came in 3 versions; I’ll decided to review only the CD only (itunes) version.

    Acid Black Cherry, “Janne Da Arc” vocalist yasu solo project is around our hearts for many years already. He creates good music he creates perfect music. This release brings you more calmer songs with a taste of heavy rock.

    With “L” yasu proves again that he is a true musician who can write true music. Music which is written with the heart. Music which has a story. Music which is written with time.

     

    What about the already released tracks?
    On this album again there are only 4 songs which we already know, for myself I didn’t like 3 of them. Well I liked INCUBUS but, INCUBUS felt as it was not “ready”, not finished. Since it was an introduction to this album. I really did do like GREED GREED GREED, which has such cool rock feeling. The 2 others, Kimi ga inai, ano hi kara… and Kuro neko ~adult black cat~ didn’t get my attention at all, when they where released as a “single”. I didn’t like them.

     

    But are the single songs now enjoyable?
    My answer is “YES”. Somehow this album made all 4 single songs good songs. songs who flow easy inside the album. songs who you won’t put off, even if they aren’t liked as “single” songs. It’s a bit strange, but this is what happens more often if you listen to the work of Acid Black Cherry.

     

    What about the new songs? are they enjoyable?
    Of course they are, I’m glad that yasu did choose to create more calm rock songs. The music is a bit more lighter. But still with a beautiful rocking sound. There is only 1 new songs which I don’t really like and that song is “Versus G”.
    I truly love; Round & Round “L-Eru”, liar or LIAR, Loves, &You. Those lyrics and sound are splendid, very beautiful, songs which really though your heart. And who really made me fall for this album. Also it was a very good choice to put “Round & Round” as the first track on this album. It introduce you calm but with a rock sound inside this album. You won’t get enough of this album after you put this one on!

     

    How does the album really feel?
    Even if some of us prefer more the harder rock songs, I still think that everyone can enjoy this album highly. Since this album has so much inside. hard rock, light rock also a slight of pop sound. It has cheerful tunes, it has sad tunes. The lyrics are sad, are happy, it can let you cry, it can let you smile. It is a love album. Some tracks even let you remember of “Janne Da Arc”, but that’s cool! Since some of us really miss them and it always gives a good feeling when those tunes turn up. Also yasu’s voice, it really though your heart in this release. Those who didn’t bought this album, really will regret it.

     

    A slight detail to the sound, song by song:
    ♪♪♪ heavy rock | ♪♪ hard rock | ♪ soft rock
    ♪ 01.Round & Round
    ♪♪ 02.liar or LIAR?
    ♪♪♪ 03.S&M
    ♪ 04.Kimi ga Inai, Ano Hi kara…
    ♪ 05.L-Eru-
    ♪♪♪ 06.Greed Greed Greed
    ♪ 07.7 Colors
    ♪ 08.~Le Chat Noir~
    ♪♪♪ 09.Kuro Neko 〜Adult Black Cat〜
    ♪♪♪ 10.Versus G
    ♪ 11.Nemurenu Yoru
    ♪♪ 12.Incubus
    ♪ 13.Loves
    ♪ 14.& You

    As you can notice it is a very calm album with a few more heavy rock tracks.
    This album has also not the “electric rock sound” which many visual kei and other kind of bands add to their music. Which I’m really happy with. Because creating an album which sound like “L” is much more special and showing your fans that you really can “create” music.
    Which I also did notice by listen to this album over and over is when “& You” ends it actually flows again inside the first track “Round & Round”. You don’t really notice that the album has ended. Which also makes it impossible to put the album off, because if flows over and over.

     

    Album rating:
    ♥♥♥♥♥
    I never did expect such great album after I did listen to the 4 previous singles. I never thought that this album could be so great. Its the best work yasu has given us in his solo carreer. Acid Black Cherry did it again, to publish a great album. It’s not strange that more and more people will like them, because they deliver again and again good music.

    Do you trust Crowd-Funds?

    Depends on which kind of Crowd-fund it is. But I never would trust a Crowd Funds of musicians.

     

     

    Have you ever given money to any form of Crowd-Fund?

    Nope not yet. I've not even the money to spent to such things.

     

    What band`s do you think you would support if they had a Crowd-Funded project?

    0 bands. I would only donate like that if they would spent the money to some good cause. (or how do you call that in English, ya know those projects to safe people in the world because of a nature disaster or something)

     

    What do you think your donation range would be? (Be honest, you don`t have to worry about being seen as a cheap-skate, and don`t have to be Mr. / Mrs. Moneybags.)

    20 euro maximum. (because they should be happy, that you give them SOME extra money)

     

    Are special awards or gifts valuable to you? (Early access to tracks, special messages from the band (or whoever), other perks, etc...)

    Depends on what they will give you. But for Alice nine, you really get less for ya money.

     

    Do you think crowd-funding is a sustainable practice (can it be used often or only on occasion), and that many bands can use it at the same time, or does it present an even greater price-tag to fans?

    I think bands who try this, simply want to gain lots of money from fans... its still stealing from us, because they never use it for MUSIC  only :P

     

    If Crowd-Funding became more popular, would that create a greater wealth gap in the music industry, where more popular bands can sustain more releases and advertisement, while smaller bands can not succeed or compete, and labels are not as profitable so fewer bands can actually exist on a visible level?

    HAHA no no no no no no really NO.

     

    What do you think of Alice Nine`s project so far?

    I know which label they are under now... I don't know if it should stay secret? But they could better find a different label with more money. Even Kiwamu would have been better :P

     

    But there first song is nice, so lets see what they will give us in the future.

     

    Any notable musical crowd-funds you want to mention (worldwide or Japanese, though they are different markets)?

    - I don't know any...

     

    Should a Crowd-Funded release be free? Or should it only be free for those who donate? Does crowd-funding affect your view on downloading a release?

    Yes, Crowd funded releases should be free. Since they got the money for FREE. they didn't spent their own money inside the whole project.
    And those who donate should get lots for free before the actually release date.

    But still it won't affect me at all.
