So, in my free time I like to dabble in composition. I don't really have a style yet, as it's just for fun, and I don't know much about music production.
 
I'm gonna start this thread with a song I started like 2 years ago and finally sat down and finished tonight. It's inspired from Castlevania music (specifically the soundtracks that Michiru Yamane worked on - Symphony of the Night, Lament of Innocence, etc.)
 
It starts off like a requiem but climaxes like an overture. If you like organs, harpsichord, and choral music, you might dig it.
 
 

Oh, obis, almost all physical music releases in Japan have them, little pieces of paper that provide the title of the product, track listing, price, catalog number and information on related releases. I for one love these little inserts, and have kept so many over the years from releases that I have in an envelope simply called "OBIS" dating back to 2006 with DIR EN GREY's 凌辱の雨.
 
So, what's your opinion on obis? Do you keep them or just throw them away and have you ever found any cool/interesting ones? I recall a band making a poster out of obis that you could collect and put together.

Here's some nice tapes from my collection.
Laliene by Laliene 
オルゴール (Orgel) by Platina
愛するお前たちへ・・・ by AFTER IMAGE
THE 1TH ANNIVERSARY by MALICE MIZER
Remember by L'abime
scéne d'amour... by CHARLES
Premium Demonstration Tape by AMADEUS
xxxBLUE by D≒SIRE
 

 
Yes that's the best demo tape ever! hahaha

La Rêve du Fleur - pride of sorrow

see you next week!

I thought it would be easier to pretend to not give a f*ck about Yoshiki's last random socialite shenaningans if we collect them in one single topic (so we also don't spam the forum with a new thread for each appearance.)
 
 
In the previous episodes our posponing antihero was spotted trying to strangle the Queen of England with his scarf

 
 
And trying to marry into the royal family.
 

 
 
Where will he go next and what will he do to not realease the new album he absolutely did complete (cross on his heart)?

Chosing only one band in Vkei is pretty simple for me, since I listen to like less of 10 and half of them are Kamijo's... 😆
 
Band: Lareine
Album: "Reine de fleur II" (yes it's a collection) from Lareine
Song: I refuse to listen to only one song for the rest of my life, shoot me now and spare me the suffering.
 
In general:
Band: Rammstein (but was a REALLY close call with Muse)
Album: "Electra Heart" from Marina and the Diamonds
Song: Same as before, but if I REALLY was forced to it would be a really though choice between REM's "Losing my Religion" and the Cranberries' "Zombie". Honor mention to Queen's "Bicycle Race".

Here's a message from my YouTube channel.
Hello everyone! After a lot of reflection I made the difficult descision to private my two most recent videos, the full MALICE MIZER Deep Sanctuary VI live, and the APRÈS MIDI part of it. Why did I do it? Two reasons, one is that I'm dead scared of copyright strikes, and risking my entire channel for just a few videos is not worth it. And the second is a more moral question, I felt guilty uploading an entire new blu-ray. All of these people worked so hard on it, and I just put it free and public. It's true that the blu-ray is very, very expensive and inaccessible, but it's still very illegal and disrespectful to do it, especially so soon. It just didn't feel right or just to have uploaded in its entirity so quickly, especially when the Japanese MM store still has copies in stock. If you still wanted to watch it, or want to see it again, I'm really sorry! But I shouldn't have uploaded it in the first place. I couldn't feel at peace with myself knowing that I disappointed the artists, actual buyers and was risking to have my entire channel shut down at any time. Even though the videos were getting tons of views really fast, the numbers weren't worth the risk and guilt. The Bel Air and Gardenia are still online, with links to buy the actual blu-ray, you can use a Japanese shopping service to buy it from the MM store. I cannot control what others are uploading to YT, and I'm not here to stop anyone from doing it, but I want to feel at peace with myself. I might unprivate the videos if enough time passed, and if every copy is sold out. It might be in a month, a few months, or longer, I don't know. I hope everyone can respect and understand my descision. Again, I'm sorry for disappointing everyone... But my channel isn't going anywhere! I'll continue to upload amazing music by amazing artists! Just much older things, so nothing recent or still profitable. And I'm working on my first full album now, so expect to see occasional videos about it! Thank you for reading.
