Still waiting someday some mysterious user on YouTube uploads a handful full VHS recordings of Dir en grey's first concerts, where they played Zan faster than it would be recorded, and Kaoru missed almost every solo.
 
I don't understand how this hasn't happened yet, considering it did happen with La:Sadie's and also big bands like X, Luna Sea, L'arc, D’erlanger, and many more.
 
Tbh I got really bored of watching the 1999 Osaka Jou live over and over to have some of the most glorious 90s vk performances ever...

ダリス! What an exciting find

Rediscovering my love for early era Ayabie and it's glorious.

I haggled that bandit who tries to make you pay a 200 gold road toll in Skyrim down to 50 gold without killing her/looting it back and now my brother thinks I'm pathetic

Well, back to college tomorrow. It's not gonna be fun getting up at the ungodly hour of 7:30am tomorrow, but I gotta do it

I wish Discogs let people mute certain sellers notifications (I'm looking at you scalper putting the same stuff on again and again spamming my alerts with your 10x overpriced stuff).

I showed Dir's "Cage" to a friend to isn't remotely aware of VK or even J-rock, and he said "Wow, this sounds like Iron Maiden".
 
VK always sounded very unique to my ear. But in the last year, since
I was not very fond of the (Western) classics of punk, grunge, gothic, metal, and their respective subgenres and "post" scenes, although I always knew that theorically VK made itself over Western artist, the gap between VK and Western artists came up as much shorter than I tought, with only few elements of it (musical, visual, lyrical, performatic) keeping actually "unique".
 
In the case of "Cage", since I haven't heard much from Iron Maiden, what can you say about what my friend said? Are you agree with him?
 
 
 

My friend bought me Cuartet's 2nd single, 『CORE』-code 219/344 . Expect some lossless rips and some scans soon. 

I am poisoning myself with the internet

me: mom i have to tell you i need money to move...
mom: WOW I THINK WE NEED TO TRIP TO VIETNAM
me: mom i'm moving to japan this october, so can we please save money for...
mom: V I E T N A M M M M M
 
what the hell is wrong with you oshietekure yo

We are all aware that Mana's music writing skills for Moi dix Mois are totally a flop and 90% of their catalog is worthy of a cringe compilation, but I wouldn't be fair if I don't recognize "Solitude" to be one of the most beautiful compositions VK ever had. I'm totally in love with the atmosphere of elegance and darkness, and overall over-the-top cheesiness Mana put into it, and how well Juka's voice manages to bring all the tragic tone. I feel it on the vibe of Malice Mizer works like "Garnet" and "Gardenia"; Klaha's voice could perfectly fit into it. Same opinion goes for "Vestige", another MdM track with the said vibe. Sometimes I wonder they were tracks already composed for MM before they decided to disband.
 
 
 

Thank you person on the interwebZ for reminding me about "Oh yes, my name is Christmas Tree" after all this years.
 

That moment when your old favorite bandoman from the old days™ is not lost in the Big Nothing of Anonymity, but is on Twitter and has a business selling trinkets!
 

*chooses "surface mail" for the package shipping from the Japanese proxy in honor of old times and because she is cheap. Tries to not think they'll likely come just in time for Christmas, or late november if very lucky*
 
 

*Singing passionately "with Kamijo" even though it's past midnight*
 

What's ur fav ridiculous livehouse name? My vote is for "Salon Kitty," "Serbian Night," or "TOONICE"

An online relationship was the most morbid thing that could ever happen in my life. Can't forget her even with real girls.She's a fuckin ghost

I hope your fav band will disband, so you could get your priorities straight.

Does anyone know where this acoustic ver. of Coo Quack Cluck comes from?
 
 

Okay Metallica concert wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. They played like four songs from their new album, then they played a lot of their more popular older songs.  

Though I found it odd that Jim Breuer (comedian) was their opening act. Like I guess it was different, but didn't really set me in the mood.

Let's all march towards Aokigahara...

had a dream Leda was playing Keyboards in a new band under the alias "Sew ooo", and there was a bunch of random new (nonexistent in reality) VK songs I found that I thought were great, and I was really excited because I felt that this was a breakthrough, and that I could now triumphantly say "there is great new visual kei!! my nostalgia ends here"

I miss old 8cm singles with their long cases. They are not the most convenient to store but I always found them cute.

I need mental support to discuss the new MizeriA single. Anyone?

I have no patience for GTA but RED DEAD really seems to be my thing. Shame that Rockstar never made a sequel for Manhunt 2
