well lets hope it will be sold later in the webshop. however I got small hope. we will see.

huh my comment did disappear? sadly again something almost impossible to get for oversea fans. At least impossible for me... Live limited... no shop sale no digital sale.. great.. would love to gave it for Tokami, soundbee and nüe.

nope, still disappointed in this band... still did lose me as fan. won't ask my friend to purchase it for me. maybe someday I will get the best album if its still available in Japan, but won't order it right now..

woa sounds great. going to get it.

But, I'm open for whatever race. someone just should let my heart go dokidokidoki... But I feel most dokidoki to native american and Japanese guys with a slight of native american look. However as so long a guy can make my heart go faster well then I also want him... problem only is.. if I feel dokidoki... I always have bad luck, whatever race it is...

niihara speaks good english. easy understandable. and he also understand it very very well. so good enough for deep interviews. but he writes all lyrics together with somebody who speaks english at a higher level. (*^^*) but they do understand everything.

yeah I thought so too, made kinda flyer of an event before... with that chinese band pictured.... (since that band also often PLAYS in Japan) soo.. WHOOPS.... But no freaking band of all of them being on the flyer DID told me that I did picture the wrong band... 3-4 bands did even retweet-use the flyer with the wrong Lilith pictured.... Lolz.. guess people thought all it was the chinese band? XD

were did you find that news? since no twitter... any band photo/logo update?

In order 1. E.T (50/50vkei) 2. ...Silence 3. LAMENT. 4. Tokami 5. nüe 6. Sweet Home 7. Synk;yet 8. Acid Black Cherry 9. CELL 10. La Mule

sounds not bad... I wonder if I should ask a friend to get it.... at least if still available at 4.1

Hopefully I can grab this somehow.... did message one of my Japanese friends about it... hope she can get it.

no more news about them? mm.... vocalist seems to be an emo guy for sure: Open on your own risk V Thanks Trombe, strange that MH search didn't find that topic..

and new look is also cool gonna grab it for sure

and don't forget the statwave,bandman who did watch the gig too. but really less fans... lol... guess to less selling cd was a reason to be kicked off...

Today at their ONEMAN they announced that they will release a new Album in July. no details are given yet. also their next ONEMAN gig will be in October this year at Takadanobaba AREA. details also still need to be announced. --- YEAH new album <3

haha you might should check out their early stuff, it could be that you like it. @Serox, Kiwamu isn't interested in promoting non Japanese bands anymore. So that's why he didn't gave an answer at all. I also think that bands like each other, maybe not all, but many seems to be good friends.

@ @inartistic Now we are talking. that's a bit better then just saying "bands suck ass" But I still do think that you should check out Tokami, they really grew into a greater band. only question is for how long since their drummer will leave. Just check up the latest releases, since the time Kazuha joined the band. Calmando Qual was the best before they joined starwave, However I saw many people say that they totally did love their album BLACKSHEEP. Which I totally hated. I kinda re-like them since their single release in 2013. But they never released that catchy songs anymore which they did before joining starwave, but thats also because a member left their band in 2008, who gave the tune of the songs that EXTRA vibe. So aka they are lacking since that time that member left?... still do love their recent music but never had that "YEAAH" feeling anymore. Still hope that their last release will be a blast with those unreleased songs which you guys also need to listen, they aren't bad. LIX, lix. was pretty good band too. still to bad that both are gone. well it happens. I also never could like Scarlet Valse, don't know somehow I miss something inside their music. and UNDERCODE, well the vocalist border me for even liking the music. But I do love every undercode band with Kisaki inside, somehow he picks up the best vocalist.... But I cannot hate or dislike that label, nor I dislike all bands, megaromania was fun and so was NEGA. even tho I dislike their vocalists... @@Igyou_Hime Yeah your taste is very different as those SW bands, still think its a bit funny to dislike the early calmando qual (before joining the label) music but loving arc:g:noël. since I still think both bands kinda have the same vibe. But that shows how taste can be so tender. So it's interesting. If bands ever did do blame Kiwamu?....Maybe, but as far Japanese culture goes, even if bands blame Kiwamu they would never ever telling fans, or maybe only very close fans. But after all even a band cannot blame Kiwamu they agreed with want he wanted. Maybe if the label ever goes down, people will speak up. But Japanese fans also don't really like Starwave Records. Of course some love the label, but there are also many who don't go to Starwave Event concerts, because of their dislike for the label. @@Lestat Well people do dislike the lablel not border to check out because of Kiwamu, look up inside that FIXER topic. Still pity that people hate a label only because label boss is an "ass"? However I also think visual kei bands have always a kind of pressure that they should release and release because of the strange influential fanbase. whatever label they join, if they do a higher pressure will press on their backs. However synk;yet and Tokami do pretty good. anyway I did notice something... not long ago I wrote to Hibiki and Nüe vocalist that it's incredible rude against fans that their releases did raised up in price so freaking much. That fans always follow them, pay a lot, give a lot etc. That it does feel as its only about GETTING money and not about feelings of fans too. Nüe vocalist was first angry at me, but he follows me again on twitter.... LOL Little time after, Kiwamu dropped new DVD of Tokami, LIV'ERT and now also SOUNDBEE in the shop. normally those DVD's would be priced at least 4000yen. now they sell those for 3500yen. I guess I made Kiwamu think about his idiotic prices. of course VELVET EDEN new CD is still high as fuck, but I guess that's also something DADA totally not care about. ---- But I also remember that Kiwamu once said that he does like if someone disagrees with him. years ago when calmando qual released a CD they actually were not allowed to SELL that CD on a live gig. Then Hibiki went all ANGRY to Kiwamu to pick up the box full CD to sell the CD's. and Kiwamu's words were like "YEAH THAT'S THE SPIRIT" So yes, if bands got balls they could get what they want. But if they only agree, well yeah... stuff turns out boring of course. And Kiwamu's flyers... I don't care that they look the same etc. However Kiwamu could do his best a bit more to fill up flyers more beautiful and the last fixer flyer got a damn ugly design background mistake.

guess I really should have hit him back then? XD. nowdays kiwi loves to run away as scary cat if he sees me. lol XD maybe but before joining Nue already had a name and their first CD release was also sold out in no time.

I didn't、 he freaked out when I asked for blood band photo, if i could stand begween dora and hayato. didn't hit him.

sounds as mainstream poprock. not bad but totally not my taste. still can enjoy but wouldn't spent money on such music... loved div in the early years...

haha, taste can be so WTF sometimes, which is good otherwise too many bands wouldn't have fans. mmhm jusy check out capella then. to bad that they aren't around anymore bjt I guess you will like their sound. maybe the fool too, but harder to find nowdays I guess. Luzmelt was loved by many people, I remember manh were sad when they did disband, so maybe check again? xd

but your taste is strange anyway... you like so many wtf bands but impossoble to enjoy any starwave band...kinda amazing. so you also never did like past SW bands? capella, luzmelt, the fool... kinda fits maybe more the row of bands you normally listen too. their music wasn't that bad.

lol, so Qual, Tokami and Sound Bee are shit bands? For me those are starwave best. and still have their own typical sound. Livert wasn't that bad too, they did sound live prety good, even better live than on CD. but, this topic isn't for to diss the bands and saying that all suck. because its just a matter of taste. I think many other bands suck which you 3 think are amazing. but it isn't about dissing bands. because SW does have bands which enough people love. however maybe the dislike of SW bands is because people simple hate kiwamu... so whatever band would join people simple going to dislike it no matter what.

I know that I actually want to be a silent lucker on this forum, BUT sometimes I read things which I think need to be discussed or something like that.... Starwave Records, so many people here seem to hate it because so many bands did disband or did drop off the label. However I still wonder if we really can blame Kiwamu for it or if its just the own stupid mind of bands. not reading contracts good, sighing up a label and then just thinking ah its not what we are looking for. Not standing strong in their own shoes, not having an own strong opinion etc. I still think that we cannot blame everything on Kiwamu, Kiwamu still makes it good possible for us oversea fans to buy the music of his band labels beside the live limited only goodies. But we can buy lots of music we can listen free to music at spotify. He writes fake price on all parcels and send it as a gift. So yes there are also enough positive things about this label. Don't forget that Kiwamu also creates all MV himself now days. Kinda boring to watch because its always the same but beside that the quality is good. Of course a band should deliver music and if a band is great then a band can also deliver over again and again good music even if they should RELEASE a lot in a short while. Still bands have the choice in how fast they want to release, I'm sure if a band tells Kiwamu, WE cannot, we need more time, that Kiwamu will agree with it as so long the end product will be good and that people will buy it. We all know that Kiwamu is a money wolf. So... everything can be bought with money. People also said, yeah nobody does share Starwave live DVD/PV DVD. Don't forget that Kiwamu only adds 10 copies EACH time. and often only 1 or a few people did BOUGHT a DVD. And it would be pretty shit if someone would share a DVD and that Kiwamu never ever would sell a DVD in the oversea store anymore, because someone did SHARE it in public. And we know that he could be such person. So better be careful what we share of his shop and not. 100% if we talking about DVD which he burned himself on DVD. Of course its SHIT for those in shitty country who cannot buy something EASY. But that's life, you cannot get everything. And such thing has nothing to do with ELITE people who don't wanna share, sometimes it's to dangerous to share, and it could be the end of be able to buy music easy from this label and that's also not what we want, or does someone want to take that risk? well I won't take that risk. Don't wanna mess it up for everyone. Back to the more past of Starwave, of course Starwave has also bad feedback in Japan himself, there are lots of bands who don't like this label too. Or who did drop of the label because of the attitude of Kiwamu. Of course bands broke down too because of Kiwamu. Yet,... a band decide themselves to join this label, they could check out bands who were under this label, bands who will leave the label etc. and if they still join, well its their own decision. A good band creates good music over and over and Starwave Records wasn't bad for all bands. Look up to Sound Bee and Tokami, both bands even created great music which got better and better. Then we still have Misaruka and synk;yet, both are most selling SW bands. Nüe is also doing good under starwave records. Umbrella did leave the label but didn't disband. SaTaN also left the label didn't disband and so few more bands didn't disband. I also think that bands often DON'T read the CONTRACT they need to sign and talk about it good with Kiwamu. So then yeah stuff can happen that it all looks its all Kiwamu fault. Of course I don't wanna protect Kiwamu, but it's somehow a pity that everyone blames a label who gives bands SO much. CD, DVD, MV, Flyers, GIGS ,Promotion etc. Sometimes I also got the feeling that bands who did join in the past were not serious enough and sometimes bands simple decide to disband, happens under other labels too or if they don't have a label at all. Of course it's kinda WTF if you see bands go from one label. but if you look around there are more labels were bands come and go. This year LIV'ERT MAJOLICA Calmando Qual band member "1000" from Tokami Did gave up the label. But somehow I already thought that LIV'ERT kinda losed the spirit in going on at the start of SW because one original member left. Majolica, they way they looked, somehow I already felt from the beginning that they wouldn't be a long term band. Calmando Qual, truly did struggle when Kenka left the band and they are already so long around... so one day they would disband anyway... sad to see go but yeah... shit happens. Tokami 1000, I still wonder the real reason why he will leave the band, lately he wrote good songs for Tokami too. But still popular with woman.. Magistina Saga will be on a break? because one member will leave the band. can have so many reasons. Feels like the label has kind of disband spell. Of course there are bands who maybe not sound that great anymore. But can we blame kiwamu for that? Our can we just say that those bands are simple not that GOOD musicians. Because they kinda mess in creativity if they should write more than 1 song in a while. Band who join a label, well....smart people read contracts carefully. Which I think not always did happen. Also, Kiwamu maybe he simple picked up the wrong bands. After all I'm pretty shocked how many people say they dislike this label. So what are your real own thoughts about this label? do you really dislike it so much because it broke some bands?

lol as I said before. almost nobody does buy live DVD. sometimes only one or a few persons buy. kiwamu can easy find out because of that matter who did. he might not punish you. But maybe he will make it more hard for oversea fan to get live dvd. thats something we also shouldn't forget. its not always that people don't wanna sbare sometimes its better to not to share. broke or not. sometimes you can't get everything. live with it.
