Dude was charged for possession of marijuana, right? Who fuckin cares??
 
People acting like they are giving free pass on a murderer or something, lmao

i saw the messe promo video before reading this thread and when the fifth member came i was literally GAGGED so it was nice to come on here and read it was akinori
 
honestly...reo and hazuki are geniuses in how they handled the whole drama in the PR sense. they collaborated with incredibly high profile guests and that in turn brought their profile up as well, and they milked the ordeal for all that it was worth with the dramatic foreshadowing, intense apologies and just how open they made the situation. instead of shying away from it they really gave their fellow nihonjins a nice lil redemption tale and a lot of material (cue that insta video) to go with the spectacle. i think this is a japan/east asia specific thing but like, lynch rlly did go the extra mile

here's some info about Akinori's time away from the band for anyone curious about the circumstances leading up to this, as reported by a fan from the show last night and some rumor mill stuff that ended up being true or partially true:
 
 

that's pretty cool. good on them for not turning their backs on a friend.

At lynch.'s countdown show last night, Akinori appeared during the encore, and after an apology, announced he will be returning to the band.

Hot on the heels of announcing their upcoming single for February, BUCK-TICK has just announced that they will be releasing their new album "No. 0" on 2018/03/14. The new full-length (which will be their 21st studio album) is planned to feature 13 tracks.
 
The release will come in 4 types: regular (CD), limited Type-A (CD+Blu-ray), limited Type-B (CD+DVD) and limited Type-C (CD+VR content). The bonus video contents of Types A and B will be the same.
 
Furthermore, they will hold their nationwide "BUCK-TICK 2018 Tour No.0" from 31st March to 19th July.

- D will continue to slay with remembrances of old releases.
- Kizu will release an EP or a full album and it will be mediocre. Much like Lin Tosite Shigure's last outputs.

- Diealo calls it quits. Naru starts another band.
- Lix. returns yet are barely noticed.
- Half the bands formed this year will disband.

- Yukika will file for bankrupcy after losing most of their bands.

Yay! thanks for making a thread for them! Been following these guys for a short while but they've already blown me away.
Kagami's clean vocals are amazing and his screams are haunting af, I love everything they've put out. Easily one of the best deathcore bands out there. Also the album they put out on yt for free is suuuuper solid. 

Kagami is a surprisingly above average vocalist considering he's still brand new. And Naoki is still killin' it since DEATHGAZE. The other members, despite being of former nobody bands, are actually pretty good themselves. Both the old bassist and the new bassist are good.
 
Naoki's follow up project appears to be a real success so far. Musically anyways. He chose a real nice line-up.

Everything this band has put out has been golden. I have very little complaints and I'm loving the fact that they're releasing works online for the (international) masses, even going so far as to subtitle their songs in English. I only wish I could have found Hunger when I was in Japan.
 
I'm pretty sure that both The Dead Sea and Imitation are available internationally through iTunes, so if you like them, want to support them and have $6 to spend, do yourself and the band a favor and buy them both.

I thought  it was about time these guys got their own discussion. Easily one of the best bands going in the vk scene right now.

Hahaha same ! Even at school people would trade posters and someone would buy one number of the magazine and would get passed down to everyone in class XD. I miss Popcorn XD

I suppose you're right. I do remember it talking about their european tour. Wow what are the odds? I used to collect the posters that came with it... 

I think  we are talking about the same magazine. It had the same name and most of the interviews were from when bands toured in Germany and I think our ghetto people here just translated every number of the magazine and would sell it like that XD. Maybe that's why they stopped releasing it at one point /copyright got to them eventually XD/.

I could almost copy and paste what u wrote but with me it happened in 2009. I came across this german magazine called popcorn that was sold in a shop close to my middle school (yes I was that young). I saw an cafe on this calendar (this was january) and I thought they looked so different and very loud and colourful so I gave them a listen and was hooked from then on. I quickly got into d=out, sug, alice nine, gazette, dio and others. Haven't stopped listening since. 

"There is objectively bad music (in a sense)" - I believe this to be a fairly controversial point to make, but only because people tend to miss the point I'm making, that there are factors that could label music as objectively bad from a composition point of view - it might be that they only rehash a certain chord progression to death, that they copy other bands in a manner that's so blatant and obvious that it makes it impossible to enjoy the music, simply put, the music they make doesn't bring anything even remotely fresh or innovative to the table. I believe that several of bands I consider to be good has some or several of these qualities though, so it doesn't neccessarily make them a bad band in someones opinion, just like I know of several bands with highly innovative and interesting styles that I personally find uninteresting because the music doesn't grab me, there's factors like personal preference in vocals etc. that can't be taken into account since there's no accurate way of measuring such things. Feel free to disagree with me if you want.
