and the dog, don't forget the dog

But so is I’ll. 
 
Surely they played it during the Mode of Macabre tour. 

If you give me a song, I could tell you when they played it live the last time
My list isn't complete, though.

There's a live recording of Berry that was panned? o.ô
 
It was played during the mode of MACABRE tour, so you can expect it to show up on the DVD.

This has been speculated to be the Beckhams since years but I don't buy it

To this day these are the only lyrics I hear when Iisten to this song. 

Garden is a classic bop tho. Praying they will never ruin it by updating the sound like they did to Kiri To Mayu 

They're most likely embarrassed about it. It's very non-DEG.

I was literally thinking in a very sarcastic tone "HMMMM I wonder why Gackt wasn't invited" xD 
 
As long as we hear Ma Cherie and au revoir I'm good xD 

Wait, I just noticed that Malice Mizer's vocals are going to be handled by roadies. What the actual fuck. LUL

You know damn well the fans voted for Garden, but DEG was like “LOL”

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.

tfw they couldnt dig up klaha's embalmed corpse for this

Bands on major labels usually get a salary, so buying CDs from them helps keep the labels afloat and helps keep bands employed. The absolute best way is definitely going to shows and buying merch, but obviously that's not terribly feasible. But besides that, your best bet is probably just buying CDs and merch (new of course). It might not go directly to them, but in theory it helps keep the label afloat which in turn helps the band out.

I know bandman who sells his clothes... 

Unfortunately (Or fortunately?) not everyone is Kisaki lol

in order:
 
1- buying official merchandise
2- going to the concerts as much as possible]
3- buying CDs
4- listening stuff legally on streaming plataforms OR something similar
5- spreading the word. if you can't help your favorite artists using the first 4 options, then try recommending them to as much friends as possible. the more people know and get into them, the more people might be able to help support their craft. and that includes sharing .mp3s/videos, etc..

It may be a small contribution, but watching their music videos on official channels rather than xoxVisualHeadRushBRxox's reuploads so they can at least get some ad revenue to offset production costs. 

If their label still owns the rights to their songs then yes, it would go to the label. Usually a contract runs out at some point though (but I'm not an expert in Japanese recording contracts tbh) and after that the song royalties would go straight to the artist themselves. But like mentioned above, if you can buy it direct from his website that would benefit them the most.

I think you pretty much answered it yourself! Supporting the artists by buying their merch directly off their site or (in the case of music) any music sites they link to for purchase would probably be the ones giving them the most royalties. Like you said, it may have to be through a third party if they don't ship overseas and/or you're not confident enough in your Japanese to order by yourself.
 
If that isn't an option, may I recommend ordering from a VK/j-rock CD supplier? Even if it's a secondhand purchase of something out of print that the band may not benefit from themselves, the monetary profit these stores make help support and keep the scene alive within Japan, providing talk/event opportunities, promotional opportunities, and more.
 
I don't think there's any kind one answer fits all regarding whether artists receive royalties for old releases, short-lived bands, etc. and how much... I would assume most of them do since that seems pretty standard, but how much would depend on their contracts with whatever label it was released under. However, it is pretty safe to say that if it was released on a band's own personal/independent label, they would still receive a good chunk of profit from any music sales or new music pressings.
 
If there's something you're particularly looking for, you can always request it on the upload request thread. In that regard, the forum seems to take the "try before you buy" or "might as well upload it if it's out of print so more fans can enjoy it" approach to uploading VK/j-rock music, so I don't think you have to really worry about getting reported over piracy.
 
I'm not sure of another website database of mp3 like that myself... Maybe another poster can help.
