secret_no_03

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this will be the first time Kiyoharu has performed overseas, or even been outside of Japan? I won't be surprised if he ever left for a trip/vacation or something, but I can't find anything to indicate that he's left Japan since his career began in 1986. I have no idea about before that and I doubt anyone does. There might be some evidence in his first biography, and maybe in this new one once it comes out. Just a thought.

It'd be wonderful if K were still around.

Are you sure you're not confusing the Mejibray fan base with that of 8P-SB?

I'd have to agree with UnsraW and Sadie. I'm not a fan of what has become of the latter with The Thirteen.

All music is subjective, but I personally love MEJIBRAY and Tsuzuku is a once in a decade talent, I hadn't seen such vocals since Kyo.

I prefer Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, but TBP is beloved to many including my girlfriend so I totally understand where you're coming from lol.

D'espairsRay, Morrigan (especially since Nihit joined and could have easily replaced Pitty.), Boom Boom Satellites and for Michiyuki to have never gotten cancer and died, deadman, MEJIBRAY(🤔) Girugamesh (even though they got worse over time.), PIERROT, Malice Mizer (the future is hopeful.). I can't think of anything else at the moment. If we're including non-Japanese I'd definitely say MCR and HIM.

A fancy cabaret bar is far away from the usual VK venues in NYC. It should be a delight since everyone will be at tables/couches enjoying the performance over dinner and drinks rather than a bunch of screaming fan girls pressed up against the stage. A real refined affair (hopefully, I don't know much about how people reacted when Yoshiki did his sophisticated shows, hopefully they acted with restraint.) The only thing that I'm curious about is if they'll have a little table set up for merch somewhere. I'd love to get some Mardi Gras stuff.

Definitely going to look out for this one, a chance to see Kiyoharu in his element in an intimate setting has to be a sight to behold.

November 2004 I saw Full Metal Alchemist and discovered VK through L'Arc en Ciel, then from there I found DIR EN GREY on Amazon and imported Withering to Death which was my first album by them and still my favorite to date. From there I ordered the BOX collection by X Japan, discovered PS Company's bands, so MIYAVI, the GazettE, etc. I then moved on to other stuff like Moi dix Mois, GACKT, PENICILLIN, machine(can never find their stuff these days.) and the rest as they say, is history. I have a strong affinity to DIR EN GREY even after all these years because they changed their name from DEATH MASK to DIR EN GREY on my birthday lol, and although I have had a love/hate relationship with their stuff since Marrow of the Bone, I'm always willing to give each new release a shot, the same being the case for the GazettE as well since Dim.

The need for constant support drummers could explain why their releases have been so staggered and the fact they're managed by Yohio doesn't help matters. It's disheartening to look back at their interviews when they got started about wanting to go global and really reach out to other countries and perform and two years later they haven't left Japan. I will say however that they have done things kinds differently, with their live streams and having majority of their releases readily available to the world. It doesn't help matters that Kai has a fashion line he's focused on and the other guys are always doing something else. I may just be ignorant for lack of a better word, but this feels like a 2015 to now thing where these bands are touring with full sets, but don't even have an album out; using DEXCORE, SARIGIA and the afore mentioned TRNTY D:CODE to name a few. Also, just to end this little tangent, I'd jump through all kinds of hoops to get a live DVD if they'd just release one. Come to think of it, it's not too surprising that they can't get much out since there was the debacle with the songs on the last single.

A lot of content, but too rich for my blood.

I think they're progressing. I wonder what the secret song is.

I discovered him through DM, and can't wait to go back and listen to this band and TRIGGAH. I'm wondering if his favorite Pokémon is Gengar as mine is tied with Gengar and Haunter lol. It just feels like how you'd say it if that's not the case.

New single and MV at the end of the month.

Oh okay, yeah I usually see within 7-14. Added you on Twitter btw. I'm more into Lüstzöe now, and own all of the singles, so I'll get this eventually.

Working on a new single and video for the end of the month. Looks like Lüstzöe will be the focus until May when DĂLLE have their next show.

Woah it's on backorder for 2-4 weeks.

The hell? Lol I know you can get it at Amazon JP and ship to America and it's not that high. I'll look into CD. My points expired a few days ago x.x

Set list for yesterday's show and announcements for their next show in May. No singles announced or released, but I see them doing something by then, unless they'll just keep with what they have while Lüstzöe moves into full force. Also, I totally fan boyed when Atsushi followed me back on his Twitter xD

Did you get it? It sucks that you didn't get to go like you had planned!

Here's the full version. I'm excited for more.

They're now turning their radio show into a YouTube gaming stream, playing some very obscure stuff.

Also, here is a longer version of the video.

Atsushi posted a note about why he chose who he did for the band, his reason for making it and his history with Blankey Jet City, and DEEP. A rough translation is still very interesting, but a more thorough one would be awesome. https://note.mu/valentinexxx/n/n9c3c2b6a89ab
