Friend of mine was recently in Japan and was watching a cooking show and Natsuki showed up.
Apparently he now owns or works on an avocado farm, if I remember correctly?

In another tweet they refer to him as a "mysterious skillful guitarist" so who knows, maybe Arimura-san has more talents than just asthmatic wheezing and strumming power chords. (:

KØU (ex-CLØWD) will commence solo activities at his first live on February 19 at TSUTAYA O-WEST. He'll also follow up with an acoustic live in March.
 
His first single, "DAYLIGHT" is slated to be released later that month.
 

 

If these costs are true idk how bands that played in front of 30 people can manage to find that much money

im just sad art kei is flopping across the board...we need an art kei superband to save the SCENE

I was at a Lovebites live and oh boi saw many babymetal shirts and many old drooling men

do u think grorious metaruwaifu invaders die internally after each gig or watching their bank account ゼニーcount go up works as a form of therapy?
 
this is what I refer to:
 

someone on Tumblr translated Keiya's message

There are some painfully unflattering shots
 
Is the keyboardist genuinely scratching her nose at 0:11 or this a new VK move?

Youtube channel of the guy in the video, not sure what relevance he has to the project because the channel seems mostly dedicated to One Piece

Well, cringe over my BT pic all you want babe, but it delivers genuine vk aesthetics instead of idol-kei emptyness.
 
Xoxo

>be a bandman
>play shitty american cons for years
>no one cares about you in japan
>finally start to come up, band does well
>almost make it to your 20th anniversary
>vocalist gets a bunch of absolutely heinous vocal conditions
>forced to disband
>over two years later, he's finally better and you can keep doing what you love
>some guy on a forum calls you cringey for taking a cute photo with your bandmates

not necessary a homophobic here (considering i had a few friends in my life),
but i still cant perceive a grown man wearing skirts and with glittery femme make-ups -- even after 20 years of enjoying japanese rock.
 
i loved old-school dir en grey --- just without imagining them with those attires. 

It's worrying to me that some peoples first thought is 'oh noh muh music!!!!!'
do you not have any sympathy for this little girl?? or her mother? or any other people he's mistreated??
 
I've always hated Kisaki, thought he was an overdramatic attention seeker; but knowing he does this is shocking
he's disgusting and I hope he rots in prison. 
 

i cant believe yall worried about VK

Kisaki's drama was all fun when it was only some tax fraud and stolen pictures, now it's just too serious.
If these allegations are true I will never support him again, ever

(Thank you to @ricchubunny for posting about this in a status, which led to @Chi linking it to me!)

In summary, Kisaki has been accused of:
-Inappropriate sexual contact with a young child

-Being suicidal and using this as a manipulation tactic
-Astroturfing tanuki, working to have critical articles and twitters suspended
Allegedly, these matters have been brought to police.

flop label [2] 
weren't they the ones threatening to drop one of their bands from their label if they didn't manage to get a certain number of attendees?
 
edit: 
yes indeed they were, the band in question didn't end up getting dropped because they were only 4 people short of the required amount, but it's still a massive fucking dick move and i hope they won't pull that shit on the gallo

ギャロ (THE GALLO) will join 寺子屋 (Terakoya) at 2018/12/1.
 

'K, so my friend went to one of their lives and still has to give me a full report, but she says it's not something she wants to see again. It appears this whole project live is mostly based on weird MCs, fanservicing of some sorts and Genki's pretty awkward the whole time. The new songs are nothing special, nothing new, same genre as what we've already heard. They weren't bad per se, according to her.
She was a HUGE Mejibray stan and even she admits that following this just because it's Koichi and Genki is a waste of time. I'm still waiting for a full report from her.

The music video collection 『 映像盤。肆 』 will be released in december 2018. 
Their DVD live 『 映像盤。伍 』 has been announced. It will include their live 『 日本 八十八 箇所巡礼』 Tour FINAL on 2016.08.22.
 
 

If you mean bands from the current generation, it's gotta be the older ones: SID, the GazettE, Nightmare and MUCC. These are the ones that made the bigger impact in the scene and could be considered "iconic" years from now.

Having a pacifier was actually a 'trend' when I was in high school. Okay they were teenagers but still... Scary times.
