It would be great if you find for example Altair and Pachi-Pachi, Re;light stuff)
 
so as variant))

Wires look messy in a shot/scene or just unappealing. There isn't a point to have them for artistic-visual reasons which most VK MVs are all about.

Thanks, but they don't have band reservation. So I cannot go to that live gig.  kinda to less time to ask an Japanese friend to get a ticked who also will not go to the live gig...
And I already have mentioned in my topic: "band reservation or door tickets only". No e+plus or whatever other tickets.

9/10
9/12
 
Are still open, but I also want to do some sightseeing at daytime.
 
 
I will not acting as a shopping service person.  I don't want to have any responsibly.
So I do not take ORDERS.
 
BUT I'm willing to go to some CONCERTS from bands you want me to go TO.
However - keep in mind.
- BANDS should accept band reservation.
- I only will take limited money with me
- Lives should be in, Shinjuku, KOENJI, Shibuya, Takadanobaba or Ikebukuro. <- or somewhere very near Shinjuku, should be easy to go
- LIVES should not be more than 3000 yen
- No more than 5 bands playing that evening.
- I might not sell the CD you are looking for but I WILL SHARE it 100%
- I'll buy 5-10 cheki MAX each day. depends on the price and how much I did enjoy it.
- I choose to which I've I will go, and it will be a surprise to which gig I went.
 
Bands I will not share Music from;
THE VACKS, REMNANT, WZC, E.T and any Starwave band.
Because of private matter. Not because I want to play ELITE.
But I might get double copies~
 
 
__________________________________________________________
 
Of course I will try to visit many CD SHOPS!
 
I will look for releases of these bands;
 
SWEET HOME
XAA-XAA
 
 
For myself
La:mule, Cell etc.
Calmando Qual (duh still some stuff missing )
dieS
Lament.
Dezert
The Vio, Viodish
Gazelle
白黒キネマ
Antikythera
THE FUZZ
+ many more, still need to finish my own list (>o<)
 
So which difficult to get NEWER releases should I look for? Which simply doesn't want to get shared?!
 
GIVE ME 2 BANDS MAX
 
 
I only buy CD's and DVD.
No tapes, no VHS.
Keep in mind that I can only carry 30KG in total with me.  22kg my big luggage and 8kg what I can carry inside the plain.
I will also go to Mandarake in Nakano, Ikebukuro and Shibuya and of course Akiharaba!!!!
___________________________________________________________________________________
When I return from my trip I will hopefully open up a sale topic, I'm sure I will not like everything what I will buy.
I will give the person who requested me to go to a live and or gave me a band name to look for the priority to buy it from me. 
Fun thing: You pay almost the same what I've paid for it. There will be maybe a 1-5% fee.
But I still choose if I can effort it yes or not, to want to keep it for myself yes or no.
However its a great opportunity to GET a CD/DVD RIP for something you was looking for.
 
But once again.
I'm not playing shopping service person. So you cannot expect even if I buy it that I will SELL it to you.
 
However I cannot promise anything, I have no clue how my trip will look like. I will look for stuff as much as possible.
But just give me a few band names and release names I should look for.
On the days I still don't have a gig planned just try me to get to a gig from a band you like in hope I'll return with some GEMS.
 
But I don't promise anybody that I will buy something you requested.
 
 
I will also return hopefully with a bunch of flyers and free magazines.
If I return with enough, I'll might gonna have a cool offer.
_________________________________________________________________________________
 
Meeting me up in Japan?
Yup thats possible. I'm 100% open for that I'll meet everyone.
 
 
 
_______________________________
 

45€ in total, was said. Not that shipping alone is 45€. Shipping is 17€ and he would actually bring down the price of the UCP BOX by 7€ which is very generous!
Alucardius, let me think about it for a bit!

I know I'm looking...
 

it's easy to solve.. just go to your playing settings... and check if the option is enabled. if yes, disable it and enable it again. restart last.fm and your player and it should work.
Also check your last.fm app to see if the scrobbel setting is enabled.

We're aiming for the weekend of the 1st or the 8th at the latest

yes hopefully 2 weeks!
 
22,23 august is the last weekend before I go to Japan... so hopefully that weekend or those weekends before there will be a stream. 

So this happened.

 
We are gearing up for another stream in hopefully two weeks.  Like we said before, we are ripping/encoding/editing everything beforehand so packages will be sent out right away.
If your shipping quote is not sent out within 3 days of the last day of streaming, you will receive a 20% discount on your order.
 
We're that serious about our commitment to getting you your order quickly.  
 

Can this topic moved to european band forum thing? He is not real Japanese vk...
Even if a few Japanese dudes from japan play with him...
Still doesn'tbelong in Japanese news forum section.
But back to topic.
He is loved by Japanese people. They adore him. So... haters...does make him more famous.

oh now they show up.. guess because of my addblocker
 
You really have a nice diru collection!

When did sound jpop japanese?
I don't think you can say something sounds more like the west..
]sometimes jpop is just a bit more crazy but.. still for me the only difference is that japanse pop is sung in Japanese.. just no more differences.
I think the MV's are a bit more Japanese. But crazyness also happens inside western pop.

Let's start with D.I.D.

From D.I.D support tumblr.
and whoops it's shared....
But in how far should we care of bands wishes for not uploading their music. not uploading their live limited CD's etc?
Or should we really say to the bands "f*ck you it's 2015 now and it's impossible to ask if people won't upload it/share it"
So in how far should we have respect for the band?
In how far should we care to not be able to listen to a release? Should we really want everything?
In how far are they old fashioned?
Should bands gain their money with other merchandise/live gigs only? Should music actually be free?
Edit.
And nope its not a debat, just share the thoughts, askings of bands who asked fans to not upload/share their work.
And if wanted you can share your opinion. But please don't debat.

FREE TO LISTEN HERE: SPOTIFY
 
NEVER supporting SW bands?
Well that's actually impossible.
But for Tokami I'm happy to make an exception.  I also know that Tokami 1000 is also doing a lot with video editing etc. So I don't doubt that the guys don't get "enough" money passed inside the Tokami "money bottle". Which for me is important that a band under a "small" label get what they need to get.
 
I follow Tokami since their first release under Starwave Records. I was highly impressed back then... but their music wasn't my cup of tea for 100%.
Still back then Tokami had one more member, so the music still sounded good enough for me. However after that member did leave Tokami the band had an area of releasing only "so so so" music.
But since KAZUHA did joined Tokami the band found their REAL VIPE and power. Their music sound finished and not just as... something unfinished.
 
Paradox was released yesterday official in stores and online als legal download and as always also on Spotify.
So of course I checked them out.
 
The first track Unconscious is an SE. However this instrumental track sounds a bit trashy and it's not that nice for my ears, so I skip this song...
Track 6 Metempsychosis is also an SE. (PIANO loop playing)
The other 5 tracks are full songs.
 
02. Radiant (heavy song, grunting and clean vocal)
03. 葬影-送リ火ノ空- (slightly heavy, clean vocal only)
04. Day after day (a bit heavy, clean vocal only)
05. CORE (heavy song, grunting and clean vocal)
07. Lost memory   (Slower song, clean vocal only)
 
Clean sining, grunting, heavy guitar, heaviness in drum. it all fits together.
CORE is a lesser nice song however somehow the song also has a good vibe but it's not a song which I will ever really love.
What should I say more about it?
Tokami proofs again that they are a great band and that it was a good decision that Kazuha joined the band, which I even until today really surprised at. Because I didn't like Kazuha in Blood or Sound Bee at all.
Agato's voice is truly beautiful his grunting is also good.
 
Tokami isn't a meijibray or grieva or something similar to these 2 bands.. (lucky they are not). But I guess if you like that kind of bands you also can enjoy Tokami. Just give them a try even if they are under SW.
To me, they are together with CQ and nüe the best SW bands which we should support with BUYING their music. 
 
 
Favorite tracks:
Radiant and Lost Memory
 
Mini album rating:

 
 
SO GO AND CHECK IT OUT!!!
 
SPOTIFY
 
 
 
 
BUY at Starwave shop
CDBABY (FLAC available) (they charge a bit of extra tax, (The tax currency of your country) But still highly recommend!)

@@acbpn
You are not the reaon... it happens once a while when bands get NUTS.....
I think it's funny that D.I.D went pissed off... They only show us fans that they are such fuckers who only care about those who go to the GIG. and they simply forget about those who cannot be there.
I still don't get why bands not simply give a CD for free at the LIVE and then later that they put it on their WEBSITE for free too.
Because it would be sad if fans only would go to their lives because of that FREE CD... then you also can better QUIT your band....
 
@Naaaaani
Nope some people are not ELITE.
For me ELITE are people who CAN SHARE but who simply don't SHARE.
@acbpn is not an ELITE and will never be.
 
 
I don't want that this topic is a discussion topic.
 
© copyright copyright. That's what artist do have if they created a CD even if it's a FREE CD. They still own the copyright. For them FREE means, FREE for the people who went to the concert. Other people simply can fuck off. But keep in mind that all over Japan are also fans which cannot get every LIVE LIMITED (FREE) CD too.
But Copyright is Copyright.
So bands GET mad if something will be shared. Not only Japanese bands, European and American bands also get often not that amused.  LAW is LAW and in the worst case you should pay a high amount of money or even spent time in JAIL because of sharing THEIR music.
The only way to BREAK that law, yes there is one is to play the song in the background and telling your opinion ABOUT the song. (However youtube still can take it down, but you didn't broke the law)
 
everyone should watch this video:

 
 
 
Anyway, do more people have samples of bands who went mad?!

– Why did you decide to play this genre of music?
Marie: Because of our love for Horror (movies) and love for Gothic.
 
– Marie you write all lyric’s isn’t? Do you write first the lyrics before Takmi compose a song, or does Takmi first compose the song before you write the lyric?
Marie: Takmi first compose the song and then he let me listen to the song, so that I can write a lyric to the song.
 
– What is the most difficult thing for being in a band?
Marie: The need to be always creative.
 
– Did you  have thought of joining a music label? Or do you want to stay independent?

Also a big thank you, to Kimberly (AVO STAFF) with helping me a little bit!
I want to thank AVO for letting me taking this interview.
 
PART 2 - 2015/05/11
What are the day steps of preparing for a live gig?
Marie: Regarding of a gig of Europe tour we took six month steps of preparing
 
What is the most difficult thing about creating an album or single?
Takmi: It's very important to create the right atmosphere for REMNANT. The lenght of the duration of a song and the lyrics should fit to the image.
 
What is your favorite place in Tokyo? and why?
Takmi: I really like Shibuya. Sometimes it's important to me because it has everything I need.
 
What is your favorite live venue to play at? and why?
Takmi: I like Shinjuku JAM. The obsolete atmosphere is good. It's the venue of a our upcomming organized event.
 
If REMNANT could be the opening act for any band in the world, which band would it be?
Takmi: There are so many, so I cannot choose. But if REMNANT would do an opening act for an outdoors event, it will be fascinating.
 
MisanthoroPia - was released at the end of 2013. Its a very nice album with a nice dark atmosphere. What was the biggest inspiration source for this album?
Takmi: There is much reflected inspiration in the production of MisanthoroPia. It's difficult to answer it specifically. But I can give you one of our inspirations; The horror movies of the film director Guillermo del Toro director where big inspirations.
 
Your favorite song of "MisanthroPia" and why?
Takmi: [Death wish] is my favorite. I think it's a song which worldview only can be expressed as REMNANT, including the production of the Show.
 
Marie, how do you get your inspiration for writing your lyrics?
Marie: At first I hear the made song and I bound the view of vampires sometimes or my experience and horror movies world view etc
 
I know your real age is a secret, but since you are not from this living world what is your undead(vampire) age?
Takmi: I reply that there at least 100 years passed XDD
 
Marie has studied in France, what did you study over there? Only the language?
Marie: In France I have studied in French at the school I stay in Paris and go to the school everyday The school was teached language but also French culture and communication and express what I mean in French

Takmi: I drink almost no liquor. But I like plum liquor.
 
Is anybody in the band a good cook?
Marie: it's me haha
 
Do you like Kabuki?
Takmi: I didn't saw any kabuki show yet. It's a Japanese traditional entertainment, so I'd like to see it sometime.
 
What is the best memory of the short European tour?
Takmi: I really feel happy about that I could meet the fans of REMNANT of all countries which we did visited this time. It's really reliable to have many people who say that they like an underground band like us in foreign countries.
 
Netherlands, Austria and Greece, what did you surprised the most, of those countries?
Takmi: I found that the air of every country was moderate and dry, and the good sound. I was surprised at the good meaning.
 
Is there any song which you would like to cover?
Takmi: For example, it would be exciting if REMNANT could cover and arrangement a song of Madonna.
 
Your Japanese favorite band?
Takmi: LUNA SEA is my favorite of all the time since the past.
 
What is your own biggest inspiration to be creative?
Takmi: When I encountered the regrettable situation in daily life, it's imagined.
 
I'll thank the band again, that they where so kind to answer a few more questions.

I did not forget about this. I'm going to look into it during the maintenance tonight and see if I can get it to work.

push push..... I how you didn't forgot about this?!

Seems like Val jumped the gun there a bit, but NOW all of the shipping invoices are out. As far as the rips go, I've been talking with a friend of mine and as of later today, I'll be borrowing his Mac Pro to use for editing the VHS rips. As I've got 21 videos yet to edit and encode, this should speed up the process by a ton. He said I can use it during future livestreams as well, so the quality of the streams should be WAY better(I'll actually be able to broadcast over 480p!).

I've only seen 1 stream, mostly because like the above said, it's waaaaay to long especially when I don't even know if there will be anything of interest. So I'm one of those who rather not get a surprise and would love to see a list of the items being auctioned beforehand...
