    oh god I saw this years ago and YES this is all I hear when I listen to this song too I always thought the couple sounded Australian even though the kid sounded kinda British... nice! thanks for telling me, I'll def look out for it EDIT: sorry for the post spam guys. I just realized you can multi quote on a forum I got too used to reddit.

    I secretly like berry (have been through child abuse) but have never heard them play it in lives from the last ~5 years, I think.

    I wonder if anyone out there ever compiled a list of songs DeG just WILL NEVER PLAY AGAIN and any speculation as to why (do they hate it? outgrew it? unpopular with fans?). I kinda did wish Garden would make an appearance on vestiges of scratches. ah well. another remaster for another time I suppose.

    I'm from Toronto too and was also at this versailles show. got to fist bump hizaki and my side of the crowd got kamijo to laugh~ I'm not really a fan of this guy's reaction vids but I'm glad he enjoyed the show I hope they come back soon. didn't manage to watch DeG in 2015 when they made a stopover, which I regret. I need to see them once in my life at least. they were my first vkei love.
  5. I REALLY REALLY want to hear kamijo and shuji sing malice mixer songs I wonder if they'd release a recording of this live on a dvd. any guesses? also, I just find it hilarious that gackt isn't making a guest appearance (for obvious reasons)

    thanks for your replies everyone! I do generally try to listen to songs on spotify if they're available there. I'm not sure how much money actually goes to them but as long as every song replay generates a few cents for the label/artist, I guess that counts. I'm also guessing most major artists probably draw a salary from their label so if 20% more people suddenly bought their music its not like they'd earn that extra 20%. It looks like jrock bands aren't too great at adding their new releases to their spotify accounts. I wish Dir en Grey would just put Arche on spotify/Apple Music already... I did buy some of Full's stuff from his band camp account (nookicky and shillfee stuff), I really want to get the latest guniw tools CDs on his site but can't be bothered to personally place an order with his home made label ;____; I'm also aware Japan has its own music streaming services and spotify / apple music is still a pretty new thing in that market. It'll probably take some time for people to warm up to it more or maybe it'll completely flop, who knows. And, yeah, when I get a bit more disposable income some band swag like t-shirts and stuff would be really awesome. Does anyone here have any experience with this? Do their sites offer international shipping or would you need to use a guest shopping service since they only accept a japanese credit card? I'm sorry, I'm a total noob

    Hello, I'm somewhat new here, I've been lurking for years, but I wanted to ask a few quick questions: Does anyone know the best way to support an existing jrock band? Do they receive money from itunes purchases or spotify streams or does it just go to their recording company? I've been told the most direct way is to buy their merch straight from their website (but I'd have to use some kind of middle-man/third party japanese shopping service, right?). What about bands that don't quite exist anymore? I see a lot of past Guniw Tools albums on iTunes I don't mind buying, to my knowledge they disbanded for nearly 15 years and recently got back together. Would they get royalties of their old songs or would the money all go to the label??? I really liked the sample clips of their new stuff on youtube, it sounds interesting but I don't think there's any other way to buy their new singles other than from Full's god awful official website? I apologize if the following question is against the site ToS or if there's anything against piracy on this forum, I haven't read it yet, so mods feel free to edit it out if it's inappropriate! Are there any websites that have mp3s of vintage or early obscure or short-lived vkei bands? I've seen some on youtube and have ripped them but I'm not sure if someone has a library of higher resolution mp3s files out there I can get my hands on... Thanks!
