So long as we're not dead we're still winning. Can't let bullshit win, keep up the fight.

I got to hear some good recs from threads of yours when I first joined, glad you're back.

My uncle wears thick black calve high socks with shorts, sandals and a cowboy hat, we've made fun of him for years....nekkichi is right straight fashion sense is the only logical explanation

Fuckin missed memento Mori,then came Kuroyuri and lost them again...

I'm too afraid to even say anything aloud.
Even though that picture of Mei in Rose Valley haunts me, but there's no way. No way.

I actually like to stand still like an idiot, soak in the moment and pay attention to what's going on on stage, actually look at the performance in all it's aspects instead of headbanging like a possessed deranged ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've known so many people who wanna shit on korn or poke fun at me for still listening to them but right, uhh yea hello?
It's one thing if they don't like the kind of music, but if anyone out there is listening to Derivative Band #??? and not acknowledging it, hmm...

Huh, really, sweet I'll have to go check it out cause I had kinda given up.

@karai · ebi just found out there are still a very few indie vk shops left who had restocked the CD so i already could order another copy for the original price which this time hopefully i won't receive an cancellation email within the next few days... but thanks for your tip!

Me also, ordered in March. Not gonna order through cdjapan again if they don't care about the overseas customers.

probably gonna break sobriety for this level of disappointment. just one more, anything

nothing just tears

never loved and hated a band so much like kuroyuri. they could be one of the greatest bands in vk scene right now,instead,they just slowed down and fucked it up

I mainly follow VK band guys and japanese gyas. I avoid western artists because they won't shut up with the politics and idiotic opinions about everything that happens.
 
I don't care about some actor's opinion on the Trump Administration or global warming.

No, because I don't use social media to avoid pretty much what everyone said above. I don't care about politics or drama, I can't do anything about it and so I don't want to hear about it 24/7 and get harassed because I don't have an interest.
That would probably be the main reason I'd lose interest in someone aside obviously from some horrible act like animal abuse / child abuse.
I only made a twitter account this year to keep up with obscure bands releases, but I log in once a week to scan over lol.

Just gave them a spin...tried Munchausen Syndrome, Last Dance, and all alone.
Their growls aren't really my flavor, for me kind of just...there. Like the feeling I get when I try out random Swede or Danish bands, it's not bad it just is what it is not sure how to word it. Passionless screaming/growling? I don't know lol. I always want something new or that has lots of ups and downs, one tone won't do it for me.
I do dig the ''In the Hall of the Mountain King'' bit, but everything around it wasn't for me (and I already like the original tune as itself so I don't think it can count lol). Vocalists regular voice doesn't bother me too much though.
But I'm mad picky. I culled 900 songs from assorted albums into 140 songs over a two day period one time.

I think I'm gonna have to pick gyo as the better one, uzumaki is unsettling but I feel it goes on for too long and the whole spiral climax not worth the wait for me. I still enjoyed it though. 
My favourite is the Yami no koe anthology because it features one of his scariest characters (that tall woman). 

@karai · ebi I also read Amigara Fault! It was included with another short story in the special edition of GYO! It really is very singular and uncomfortable, and leaves a lot to the imagination. Uzumaki spends most of its length being  an anthology I guess, but the underlying plot reminds me the most of my favorite authors like Blackwood and Lovecraft! ("The Willows" jumped to mind, as well as "Under The Pyramids" and M. R. James "The Treasure of Abbot Thomas" in the last few chapters loll.)
 
@tetsu_sama69 Army Of One and Tomie look great they'll be next for me I think! 
 
@-Tetsu-I'll have to get on the anime adaptations soon!

For me I rate by which makes me the most uncomfortable, I did love Gyo, but what takes it for me is The Enigma of Amigara fault, and probably The Chill. I think I've just seen Uzumaki around so much it lost it's punch lol. Still killer art and concept of course.
( but the REAL number one best is 伊藤潤二の猫日記 ·よん＆むー )
