It’s actually pretty good, until Hyde opens his mouth.

It's almost as if Isseis skills are in talent scouting and not making music (DIMLIM improved after he left) and certainly not in mixing/mastering (everything sounds awful that he's had a hand in the recording process). 

Perhaps he should form a label instead of bands, being an asshole is pretty much mandatory for that job anyway. 

But he has to milk the bangya money to finance his label. All of the kusomen did it that way.

I’m also planning something by next year. For those of you that have gone...is it better to plan ahead of show announcements and go for a longer period of time, or wait until a major event has been announced, and wait to book until then? 

 

I just seem to notice that most regular regular tours are announced about two months in advance, but festivals are usually announced more like six months in advance. Other than Kansai Rock Summit in May, it’s hard to find festivals that happen every year. I may set May 2020 as my goal for Kansai, and see what else I can get around that time.

Still pissed about the Vancouver/Toronto mix up. Those cities are literally on the opposite end of the country from each other, and Canada's the 2nd biggest country in the world so... smfh

Yeah, it would be nice if Western Canada were thrown a bone once in a while for something that wasn’t an Anime con or a Japanese fan club only show (like Gackt did once, iirc)

The friends and I are flying out from Winnipeg to the Toronto show.

 

I could never see myself seeing them in Japan, so I’m going to spend $250 on VIP tickets and fly to go see them...wait, what am I doing again?

I know it's short for "negative", but Nega is really awkward to mention to someone if you speak portuguese. It's a corruption of "negra" which is feminine for "black" so it has some unintentionally racist undertones (it can be used as an endearing term though, there's even a famous song named after it).

Or talking about Laputa to a Spanish speaking person.

what about pink hallelujah 

 

 

 

 

Their name is only the third funniest thing about them. It trails behind the music, and the woefully out-of-place drummer.

It’s kind of unfortunate, because they could actually use their resources to reach international fans much sooner than they’re on track to now. One of the biggest barriers to reaching international fans is the lack of confidence in being able to communicate in English. Issei understands English well enough, but uses it to be a douche canoe (I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually wrote that tweet on the bassist’s behalf).

 

Twitter is free. So many ways of communicating with fans are free. Most bands would love to have a member that can write coherent messages without relying on Google Translate. Even mediocre bands can get significant followings if backed by a member that can communicate directly with fans (see: Kiwamu)

this situation is even more hilarious because their bassist uta wrote in twitter some crap like "all international fans wait until we go to your country" in english some time ago

like, let your fans buy your fucking songs for a start

 

Or we could download them once they leak. But then we’d get the death penalty if we can’t pay 500,000, so...

Holding out for an LP release like Myakuhaku, but won’t hold my breath.

I’ve always thought Nyappy in the World would work better as a prog-Rock suite. If I buy this, I get to see how it plays out in practice.

In another tweet they refer to him as a "mysterious skillful guitarist" so who knows, maybe Arimura-san has more talents than just asthmatic wheezing and strumming power chords. 🙂

Oh god, now I’m picturing Nocturnal Bloodlust with Ryutaro’s vocals.

He can join Koichi and Genki with an outfit like that.

so uh yeah pretty sure the canada date is actually in toronto since eventbrite just let me buy VIP tickets for queen elizabeth theatre.... toronto............🤔

Eh, either way, I have to fly. But at least Toronto is fewer Air Miles than Vancouver. And now, with Book Off Vancouver closed, there's no other reason for me to prefer Vancouver over Toronto.

Might just go to Vancouver, but according to the venue, they have Ballet that night. Unless they plan to do a weird mash up?

Btw, have all mejigay gya now died?

I feel there is less support from radical western-net gya than there was before

I think they’re holding out for some “mejigay” between Koichi and Genki.

After multiple listens...it’s slightly ear-wormy background pap. Not the worst I’ve heard, but not something I’m interested in following. Disappointing is the best word I can come up with.

We should get Baldman to react to this, just because we’re cruel.

I also really enjoyed the music video for that one

 

 

Help me, I'm dying...

Any band name that makes it deliberately hard to search for them.

Aaannndd...it's leaked on YouTube. So far, the intro track is the best one ;0

Exactly!

He had to come up with that $10 from desperate Euro gya. That’s almost as much as his backing track cost!

A handful of band men might have parents that are willing to fork over some $ for their son’s dream. Not sure *how* common it is, though.
