My Halloween was pretty disappointing...had a lot of severe weather and tornado type stuff in the vicinity so only got to wear my costume an hour tops. (Well I like the severe weather...but not on Halloween come on!)

nah, just freehand with a sandpaper texture pencil in SAI and then I blend edges like oil paint using blur & airbrush. I start with lines like these but just fill them in

paint sketch of meditation avatar...although i messed up the other eye, his hair should be middle part / sat far back on the top of the head lol (cause he's really bald).

Thanks a ton, if I can find the time again to translate this is #1 on my list. Have the kanji always been available?...I felt like I used to not find it, or again I'm spectacularly blind.

Sweet...this is the sound I like, glad it's back. Android wasn't terrible but I just listened a couple times and forgot about it.

Next show I'm doing with someone for the modern Halloween release. Not sure if I like the graphic black lines might get rid of them in some areas. Also gonna do the house in white on a black canvas. Haven't had much time to do anything else. edit: ended up revising it...didn't like comic lines

Finally something to look forward to ＿ﾉ乙(､ﾝ､)_

Tar and coke order made*１, Flower petal's rain coat*２, Megan's law*３, rolling feel*４, and a drowned body. In that crowd there are no cops playing, Many Times See You For love and king That person's zodiac Mainly of the evening and morning papers, Atoms and apparitions A cold smile Many Guys See You Ahh, lies layer upon layer There are no customs above love and king Playing in that crowd inspiration isn't there Ahh, lies upon lies styled in layers Ah...quickly at home life is already a hallucination ----- This song is pretty abstract as is. 1: Based on the next line I read this to be about coal tar and coke, as both are interlinked from processing. 2: Pollution so thick that the petals are coated from rain. 3: Megan's law is a law in the US passed requiring authorities to provide information on registered sex offenders. 4: "Roll feel" I would best say is like the level of smoothness in a car ride, the feel of the 'roll', it's a specific term used alongside "handling".

Gustav and Bishu love are definitely my favorite too. I like Mr. Darkness and Ms. Moonlight & Femme Fatale also, but I haven't had as much run time with the more depressing tracks. The addition of sporadic dubstep / more electronic sounds kinda threw me off at first.

I can't believe October is already here, and the event coming this Friday... I feel like just yesterday I was posting about the project lol. I've got everything done now, I never posted the color of the above, also recently finished Carnage oil painting...felt very rushed because the deadline changed. Think PS stuffed up the bg color I'll have to fix it. Venom colored I'm glad to be done but it's not very exciting since it's not personal work.

Wow the look is killer I love it...even though I've been mixed on enjoying the vocals as much definitely gonna give it another go. Also I'm pretty sure there's a massive difference between being painted to blend into darkness / monster make ups vs very obvious and intentional blackface with big red lips and eye circles...like that embarrassing look from Lack Co.

Absolute blasphemy...next you'll want him to not sing about the moon ... Jokes aside, as repetitive as it should seem, I really love that the same themes have bled throughout every album. Maybe because I'm a sucker for all the same, I don't know, I guess I accept repetition selectively lol.

Yep it was formed by Daisuke after Kagerou disband

This is a long one...I was going to cut out the repeating parts but decided not to. Also translating tobiorikun into English doesn't really sound as catchy..."jumper man" or something cutesy like "jumpy" just reaally doesn't work lol. 1* 嫌味 can mean sarcasm, nasty, being disagreeable, terrible, unpleasant...etc it goes on. I chose nastiness thinking of those with ill mannered personalities that pick on anyone they can. 2* The sky blurred due to a welling of tears, as 滲む has dual meaning. 3* I chose to say "let's finish it" because "let's kill (myself) completely" doesn't translate well. 4* There is really zero other meaning than literally "gastric juices"...just won't flow in English lol 5* I assume this is referring to 練炭自殺 which is commonly suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning, as 練炭 by itself is just charcoal briquette. "To throw yourself in" is for going off bridges, off boats etc. For some of the repeating words I used the alternate meanings that still fit.

"Singapore gum if chewed 500,000 yen fine'' is the best band name of the year.

I feel like they could at least level up from ding dong dashing to leaving flaming dog shit on his door step.

Wow how'd I miss this, awesome bet it's so much fun, I want to do it someday too. I loove the photo with the big feather hat.

Vowed to eternity our sky is unchanging "The moon is beautiful isn't it?" You said smiling despite it. Even now you are too... Why is it we always lose what's precious? Wings that unfurled in goodbye, you've gone far away to disappear. Words I couldn't say even though I was near Since then these tears have spilled, this heart, this throbbing heartbeat, all of it for you. Even now I want to tell you. If... If you had heard me I'd want you to answer, "my beloved" Completely... completely forgetting the beautiful flowers of love. If... If you had realized then I'd want to hold you closely, "my dearest" It's a precious thing, and so I wish for these flowers of pure love to bloom. --- 白い恋 is usually just always "white love" as I see it...but I don't think that translates to English very well lol, since the meaning is really using white to convey the feeling of the color like snow or heavenly white cloud. いとしい君 could be 'darling you' 'dear' 'beloved' etc, dear and darling just felt weird, to me. Not sure if it's the kind of translation you want but since no one else did thought I'd give it a go.

Welcome, (　˙灬˙　)┘ we have some similar tastes so definitely have to suggest Kuroyuri to Kage if you've never heard them. Others: Awoi, Scapegoat, Xaa Xaa, -OZ- , Gregory, Kagerou And I'll take a gamble that you might like operatic stuff too, some of Rose Noire's stuff is great, like Awareness from Apocalypse.

My only regret is that I wasn't able to find them sooner, I missed out on so many years of listening just cause of my own incompetence in searching in the past. Despite this I feel like I've already been listening to them for years, I think Atsushi's voice has a very nostalgic tone to it, I'm not really good at explaining. They're my favorite band as a flip side to my fav metal band. I'm really moved by the friendship and connection between all the members, even most marriages don't work that long or smoothly. Even more so when I read Imai was looking into a medium that they were all destined to meet from a past life haha. I guess aside from loving Atsushi's lyrics, style and what he's overcome /B-T experimentation, I really just envy to have such friends. The same with the twin flame like situation Atsushi had with Issay. Think I could write too much about what they mean to me now so I'll cut it, but- I was torn a bit between Six/Nine, but I'm sure now that Darker than Darkness is my favorite album, from cover art to end track. (I had even wrote an exact lyric from DtD on an art piece a few months before hearing it, it felt surreal by chance lol.)

Listen to BUCK-TICK and such when I'm traveling or reading, listen to Kozi, P-Model/Susumu Hirasawa(not really vkei but) etc when I'm taking a walk, then listen to KuroYuri to Kage, SAVAGE, Mamireta, and now DIMLIM etc mostly when I work out or lift weights. For painting / working mostly Sukekiyo and Atsushi's side projects, some Madame Edwarda other than non-J/vkei music.

They had one live released single, everything else was on their youtube / twitter.

damn, I was hoping to hear more from them..real fast.

Says thanks to RAD HALL. For people who were looking forward to, and people who were seeing us for the first time, the fact that seeing the complete Jigsaw wasn't possible, sorry. Being incomplete with 3 we still intend to still do our absolute best on stage. At such a time I'm really not sure what's good to say, I don't know what to do and such things, it's greedy but...but if you would come and meet us again I'd be happy. --- For long ver..already started beforehand mb
