Merry was one of those bands that I always knew were around but never actively listened to. Since I was looking for a new japanese band to listen to, I finally checked out their stuff, and I have to say...they're absolutely brilliant! I listened to some of their songs on youtube and really got into it. So my question to you is: are there any albums that you can specifically recommend? I'm actually thinking about buying at least one, if I can find some cheap second hand stuff.

YES. I hope they'll still rock on when they're old JRock grandpas
awww...I'm facepalming myself so hard right now for not having thought about looking up their website. Thanks!

Thank gawd MERRY is still around~*~*~*~
Gunjou is on NOnSense MARkeT; this version is different from the single. ✨ u can find their discog at their website, http://merryweb.jp/discography

Thank you! Oh, how exciting! I hate discovering new bands to then realise that a) they've broken up or b ) their next album might take a couple of years, so I'm really happy to hear that
I just found Gendai stoic for around 20 euros on amazon....mhhh....;) Also, I'll be in Berlin in three weeks, so I'll be sure to browse NeoTokyo there for some Merry records.
Do you know on which album "Gunjou" is on? Somehow it's hard to find tracklists for their albums....or I'm just too stupid to find them.

That's awesome to hear! I highly recommend M.E.R.R.Y & Gendai Stoic! They also have a new album coming out in 2 wks called M-ology (エムオロギー)!!

Well, I hope that piece of shit experienced several anal prolapses in prison ✌
 
 
A++ job at blaming young girls for being abused cuz they totally asked for it lmao

Yes. And no.  I first got "over VK" in 2007 or was it 2008? But then a year or two later I returned. Then I got bored again. And thus begun the cycle.
 
Now I'm just having years when I'm "less interested what's going on in VK, but still checking out from time to time" and years when "gotta work with that backlog of stuff".
 
I might not be as enthusiastic fan as I used to be when I was younger, but I can't really just drop the scene like it never existed either. Especially since I still can find listenable new stuff, and few old favourites (Buck-Tick, L'arc en Ciel, Dir en Grey) are still around and kicking.
 
Oh well, joys of getting old.

I understand that this is a returning topic, sorry.
 
I just don't see how an adult can enjoy this stuff: 

This comes from an old hardcore fan, maybe its just growing up?
Well, cheers. 

Hi everyone
 
I've been listening to JRock for 11 years and was also quite active in another forum in my teenage years. Now, feeling like a JRock grandma already, I've decided to start my comeback. I've never really stopped listening to JRock, but as you get older you grow out of that phase of huge obsession over VK to then....obsess  over other, more adult things Recently I've been getting into Dir en Grey and other bands again, mainly because I spent two weeks in Tokyo last year and went to VK shops in Shinjuku. It was a great experience and awakened a long buried passion! I think it's really sad that all of the "youngsters" are just all about KPop nowadays. Not that KPop is bad or anything, but I've just always been more into Metal and Rock in general, so I just don't get all too excited over it. The VK scene has diminished over the years and is now, sadly, barely existent. I want to change that and keep the spirit alive by talking with you lot about JRock and everything related (or unrelated.)
 
Cannot wait to hear from you guys! See you around!
