None of that stuff matters, and all of it matters, but only to the individual. Forcing yourself to subscribe to what someone else deems important is where you lose. I say to really look inside what it is that means something to you, if you can attain that then you've progressed. But if you chase other people's dreams you'll only end up feeling empty and the cycle continues.

Sounds good...not like I was expecting to be disappointed or anything lol. Though I'm glad it sounds more 'classic' style and has less digital noise, I think the excessive electronic sounds on recent songs drown out the nostalgic quality of his voice too much.

At this point, I don't know whether I should be flattered or insulted to be asked if I'm over 18.

Took two from above because I had not done them before. JPT: INTP K2C: INFP (haven't gotten INFP since back in high school, but a lot of the questions on this test I could relate back to meditating and I think that led me to F instead of T) 16P: INTP -A I've only ever gotten INFP when I was younger and had empathy control me, then INTJ and INTP would swap back and forth in later years, so I guess it's gotta be accurate for me.

They popped up in my YT feed this morning, wasn't crazy about the MV song but I really like the vocalist's voice on the neutral tone. But now hearing these two tracks too...I'm more interested. Really specific but I hope he will do more sound like at 1:52~2:00 in In Sacrifice, love that. 八咫烏 I really like, except the awkward major key bits...as usual.

Mine is a large page of cats, right now there are 5, but 3 are feral and I can only feed them...but they more or less don't leave this area or the things we've built for them to sleep in. The one making all the weird faces is essentially my child (Kiki) and I have raised her from barely 2 weeks old. She showed up in the pasture almost at the dead of night, and if I hadn't heard her mewing who knows what would've happened, I feel very lucky to have good hearing, no one else heard her through the walls. She would follow me around as if I was a parent cat, only 1 foot away at any time, and sleep on my shoulder. I really got no sleep for 4 months just like a real parent lol, she would cry all night if she couldn't be on or near me. (The problem was where I was staying had an annoying and poorly trained dog and I couldn't risk it.) Now she's bananas just like me though, and we chase each other around, as I grew up with over 13 cats I can't help feeling a little part cat my whole life lol, I love them more than anything (legitimately) and I seem to have always been able to make friends with every single one I meet. The fat fluffy one was rescued from the middle of the highway as a kitten, I more or less raised her too but she had a much less dependent personality, she's still weird though and likes to '''hide''' in fake plants. She'll also scream at me if I don't give her meat and sometimes sit next to me while I eat and grab my hand lol. Aside from them a number of years back I lost my near lifelong cat and his brother, they were both pure white with heterochromia, wasn't a good time for me...but it was lucky I found Kiki shortly before, definitely helped me deal with such a big part of my life gone. I also have a four year old flame knee tarantula, it was smaller than the size of a water bottle cap when I got it. Now maybe a bit bigger than a mandarin.

Now for me almost all of these lately sound like bad anime 2000s 'speedcore' youtube remixes, shame cause I still really like his voice and his growls. 捨て猫のロンド sounds ok I guess.

Yep this is what I want, nihilism eating sunflower seeds off the floor in your underwear while the neighbors watch-kei

Yeah for me if I want to listen to something profound or whatever, surely I won't find it here lol, but I still love them (except those handful of radio sounding songs.) They are perfect for what I listen to chaotic music for, but they only fill that specific niche like Igorrr. I only listen to お邪魔します casually outside of physical activity or art time. Sometimes you gotta enjoy the Face/Off's of music...I say this not really being able to listen to pop music at all, and everyone has their own taste, but you get what I mean maybe. 😺

Agree..I guess i'd rather be pleasantly surprised than right lol. I have even listened to this album more than CHEDOARA. (Except Blink...sounds too much like American screamo for me)

I can tell from that LQ sample already I'm gonna fuckin love it, barely can make out that bass but oh boy.

All original songs...awesome I'm so excited to see what this becomes. Love they used Mei's instgram avatar pic style on the shirt design lol

To me it sound like if an old Marilyn Manson song, Goldfrapp and a German band I can't quite place reproduced lol, I can't tell if I will love it as much as ADORATIO yet but I definitely like it.

Worth me logging to comment...still never disappointing and one of the few bands that can get me to listen to more emotional non-chaotic stuff. Although the dog song is so sad don't know how often I could really listen to that lol.

I wishhh it was something permanent, but I'm just glad he's still doing anything. Since it seems he took the others out for sushi and won them over to play this time, and kazari said the influence of being drunk led to this moment lol

Marblehead's simple look was definitely one of my favorites, but that 'Wrong Turn Part 50 系' was also cool. Kizu is far from my favorite band, but their looks have all been clean and artistically pleasing (obv Kyonosuke being the peak) but it all comes together. However I pick Sho bringing back giant floppy hats in DIMLIM, that was my top favorite.

Well, finally had time to go through all others... Seems I only really like 2 that are not actually new. Keel and Kalavinka, thanks @Tokage I am also interested where the new band ロマン急行 that Izumi is in will go, but I was not blown away by the new song. Also even though I poked fun at NAZARE and didn't expect anything I'm actually digging their tracks, especially for running.

drunk & wanted to try making vintage magazine/booklet-esque photos. getting back to VK really pushed me to be more theatrical outside my art again, it's funny all I want to do is perform but I have the 'no mouth & must scream' art ability instead lol... Growing out my hair is going well, oddly i feel more confident. I think I will grow it all the way and maybe one day do some sort of real vk inspired look, but right now it's at too awkward a phase (also no, no eyelashes i have trich)

I see he even chose a ver of 'mei' for his name... 🙄 I feel petty about it but, same.

Not much for me...but I only get into really specific sounds. ザアザア isn't that new but I have loved all their recent releases, キズ and DIMLIM too, like most have mentioned. And まみれた god willing they keep delivering new workout tunes. Gonna probably go through this thread though and check the bands I haven't listened to.

things went different than expected on the blood moon night, but tonight's meditation and dream walk will finish this chapter lines as well...since most are lost in the black and it's probably the most detailed freehand pixel drawing I've done in a long time. I've really tuned back into myself since I stopped shelling stuff out for money

I can only relay through experience so small story I guess lol. Present day I've learned to love myself, and I more or less don't trust anyone past casual friendship level. But ten years ago I felt the same as you. I had 'fallen in love' with my best friend of 13+ years, and we were virtually never apart. Of course I kept something like that hidden for 3 years before spilling. Needless to say it didn't end well for a multitude of reasons. For the next 8 years I fell into heavy alcoholism over it, even after not speaking for many years I could be pushed to the edge about it. But one day I forced myself to check in on how they were...I don't know if all the drinking just finally erased old connections or my meditation and self reflecting paid off idk. But what I saw was just disappointment, mostly in myself for ruining my own life over someone who honestly wasn't all that I had thought they were. I sat there scrolling through feeling nothing, I wasn't interested at all in the present version of them. tldr; not to go all monk on the situation, but sometimes I think we're desperate to connect to someone because of incongruencies with ourselves. I didn't really start to appreciate myself or feel a proper connection until very recently, like past 2 years when I started meditation. And any desire or need to connect kind of evaporated, not that I don't want a partner but that sadness is gone, you know. That's my 2 cents on it, it may not be applicable at all but I know how miserable that feeling is. If you want to try hypnosis I highly recommend Michael Sealey on Youtube, I almost use his vids exclusively. Good luck.

When I read the SAVAGE thread...I thought, well now I have even one less band- then Marblehead, after that I thought I suppose there's still DAMY, but they have been awfully quiet hmm...welp RIP I'll just have no bands until sukekiyo actually puts out a new album.
