It's a fairly enjoyable mini. This is definitely not the best material they ever put out but it's cool to hear nonetheless. I agree that Lin's guitar playing isn't really that outstanding like Cazqui and Daichi's but he's competent at what he does. I definitely agree that the overall mood of the music feels lighter and save for "Thank You" and "Satanic Corner" there isn't much of all that heaviness of previous work. I swear I keep hearing a lot of Maximum the Hormone influence on some tracks, while they already put out some of those "quirkier" sounding songs before, I don't remember they going for something explicitly "weird" like those - but I kinda feel like some of these tracks are somewhat interchangeable to be honest. I'm gonna be the contrarian and say that the last track ("Shonenjidai"?) is pretty cool, more interesting than the three MtH-inspired tracks in my honest opinion (and is overall a better example of the "poppy song with heavy instrumentation" thing that many bands try and most of them fail). 
 
I'd honestly disagree with Wakarimashita and say they never sounded so "japanese" than now as I feel like the more explicit -core influences are kinda toned down on this release (save for "Thank You" and "Satanic Corner" again). It's definitely not their most focused effort and I admit I'm more into their heavier stuff (TY and SC were my favorite songs overall), but it's a good mini with enjoyable compositions and solid instrumental and vocal chops. I hope this doesn't mean a real change in sound and they're able to put out better music in the future because they are definitely a great band with lots of potential.

broke my two front teeth during gym class in kindergarten by colliding into someone, my mouth was bleeding and i was chewing on the ice pack they gave me lmao. also being that young i was crying too

Having a big tree limb fall on my head.
Actually winning 100$ worth of stuff on one of those MMO raffles they host on streams out of a thousand something people.

And that's because he's not screeching superhigh pitched notes

rough bad at back-translating overview (i'm skipping comedy fluff):
one of the first things is about Kazari's makeup, the host says he put too much paint and so it looks like he had cake and just left it all over his mouth.
He asks if there's a concept for Gulu Gulu and Ai says no, "somewhere a private, happy guy is singing songs of happiness and unhappiness and such...sounds shitty huh?"
Host asks so it's really fine for the concept to be shit, Ai says yes.
Then the other host asks Hotaru how he got his antenna to light up, he says from a home center for 1000円, he's robo-Hotaru so he generates his own power.
The lady on the left is an over the phone fortuneteller, she says something about underworld and hidden world access, she talks about the band's invisible spirit energies or whatever being present, that they possess a certain charmingness, that the synergy that comes from them seems good.
Host says at lives and such you don't really get any charmingness do you? Ai says things like beating the microphone (on his head etc lol).
After that it's just the yes/no game, and they ask the girl's group if they've taken part in the sugar daddy fad, then if they've had a relationship with a man over 40, if it was good, where they met the dudes...if they've had an offer to be in an adult video etc..
At one point Ai correctly guesses the amount of girls who would answer 'yes' (for the AV question) and then the host asks him if he's the AV scout lol

I didn't like it much when I first heard it so I thought I'd wait some days but...I still don't really like it, too much high pitch singing tone /major key. His mid / low voice is what I like interspersed with the screaming.
I don't really get why I like yelling / etc but can't listen to the singing equivalent

I don't really know / care about the drama, but these sound like they'll be reaaal solid new tracks for running compared to Whiteout, I'm excited..(except maybe not SHOWTIME / 少年時代 but w/e)

happi gemini season!! 😺 hoping for a lot of luck

happi gemini season!! 😺 hoping for a lot of luck

Finally gave this album some listens. It's not my favorite, but it isn't awful. It did take quite a few tries for it to sink in. Tada, Mada, Watashi is great and  Kimi wa Mukidashi, pretty sure uta composed it, is incredible. That one and waizatsu are my favourite tracks. Dorothy hasn't clicked with me, but it gives such a Stranger Things vibe. It's a shame that so many songs have technically memorable parts which are super short and only played once and then forgotten, like that solo in waizatsu. 

After quitting my day job I thought I'd get ten times more productive with my other endeavors. Turns out that isn't the case, and whatever hours were spent laboring before are now spent largely idle in want of something to do, agonising myself between fifteen different projects and goals. I'm not passionate enough about anything in particular that'd make me give it the solitary focus that's needed to really _do_ anything worth doing. I'm not even drinking or moving from country to country anymore, so I just sit home and read books and watch movies, go to gym for one week out of every month with 4 weeks of sitting on the couch in the interim ( because what's the point if I can't be pro-athlete/the best. ) I still remember when taken to my first football practice as a little boy and immediately after it had ended I walked up to my mom announced that I'm retiring from football since I didn't score a single goal, and I'd surely be too much of a burden to the team to come back around the second time; and since then I've adopted this philosophy holistically to everything I do. I spend a day pondering over which book should I read in order to get the most out of it or fit into a project I have going on currently... I decide on neither and waste a day. I'm confident in that anything I'd decide to do in life I'd be decent enough at it to not feel like I made the world a worse place to live in while supporting myself both financially and emotionally in the process, but I can't get up from the couch after the first shadow of a doubt comes over me; nothing means anything, but it's both a freedom and a curse all the same. 
 
If nothing else I'll be changing scenery in about a half a month to live in Kiev for a while. I can't stay in the same country too long without exploding. 
 
As I wrote this I forgot the buckwheat on the stove and I burned it

Tonight, I would like to introduce you to a new band, with possibly the greatest name today - ダミットランド (Dammitland).
 
The band has formed on April 16 and will commence activities at their first live on June 27.

There is no need to get this offended if you open up a discussion about talented musicians with shitty personalities. People are going to say what they want, it's their opinion, and anything you say will not change that. Opinions are like assholes; everyone has one. It's all part of having a good discussion or debate. It's normal.
 
Whether you like it or not, everyone thinks their own way and nobody needs to cater to your needs or sensibilities. Let people think what they want; you're the one who invited this discussion in the first place.
 
edit: I saw that you requested this thread be deleted, and this isn't the first time you've made such a request with a thread you made which didn't turn out as you so wanted. This further shows that you are unwilling to have a real unbiased discussion with anyone about things you may disagree with. The thing about this forum is that it's open to everyone, whether it be casuals or longtime diehards, and any discussion is welcome. What you need to realize is that not all people think alike, and they are not gonna adjust their way of speech or thinking just to cater to feelings of other people. This can also be applied to real life, and as you grow up, you will encounter more people like this who are not just gonna change in the flip of a dime because you said so. You don't have to like it, but you must accept it as it will help you grow later in life.
