That's such a US topic! *lol* I have never had debts before as I am always saving and conciously spending my money. 😏 I don't understand how people can spend money they don't have.... and have a hard time paying back? Better save for your goal and do an extra job on the side than be needy now and suffer in the future. I would only take mortgages to buy property because that is a solid investment here.

Man... they should get some VK outfits again.... the whole our merch shirts are the new look is getting old ...

@Zeus please close this topic

All in all, one should really consider if Japan is to be a short or long term option. Also note that if you are going there in the prime of your youth, you might, or might not meet your significant other and if you are really interested in having a J-husband in the long term. Including overtime, him going to nomikai, possibly hostessbars for work, the woman seen as a stay at home mom, pressure to have children, other values, enternal racism etc... And you might not even find anyone serious and be the strange gaijin... I actually decided against asia when thinking about these thing when I had to make the decision of where to go. Japan would have been fun for a year or so, but not a long time option. Now I have a 10 year serious relationship with a scandinavian national of the contry I did my masters in and he is super supportive and totally for equal rights and has no trouble with me earning more and him staying at home.

🤣 That is tough!

Anyone that attended the event?

Check out my profile pic, it's Kisaki. Santa.... 🤣

The first Album was still from Kaitou Sentai -A- and Kaitou Shounen. That's when they did an idol and then a golden bomber air band parody. So while there is a tendency to write a bit about VK fans, it's still tame, and mostly lamenting about life like GB. It's when they transitioned to Nusumumja that they started to be more "explicit" and clearly voiced tanuki topics, rumors, mitsu etc. And started with the parodies. Actually, I feel they are doing reasonably well, and have attracted more fans recently, so that is very cool. Also Masato wrote an original song about lying, cheating and money greedy bandomen lately. Basically what all people who were involved with bandomen report. Lol

Bandomen, dame! Zettai! "A song for all the stupid, delusional fans that want to hook up with that bandomen, that's just cool on stage." By Masato

I feel most of VK requires separating art from the artist as a lot of them have so much dirt, mitsu whatever bad treatment of tsunagari/mitsu going on... And sooner or later the tea will be spilled...

Yeah, let's wait for Kisaki drama 2k19 or 2k20 if the guy is careful. As of now he is just trolling other bandomen... in a even more douche fashion than Yoshiki

Tanuki-parody-kei 😂 Half their releases get stopped by other labels, even though among babdmen they find it really funny. When they got the order from Sanrio, they actually posted it back then. 😂

He is gone now and can not do harm anymore! I really wonder if akb is any better....

He died today at the age of 87. He was basically the founder of the japanese male idol groups incl. SMAP, Arashi, Kat-tun and many more. RIP. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20190709/p2g/00m/0et/089000c

It was, also already with Merveilles there were enough instances in which dancing was more important than playing Instruments. I know they can play instruments! Just with Malice there were also enough live performances where that was not the key point of the performance.

I am so confused by them playing actually Instruments and performing a live without dancing...

Are they on a break? Did they ban all their fans for attending a Mathilda live?

I can't open it...

I think you can see the best fairly unedited fotos from instore events. Like this here: When you zoom in, they seem so old

Are there other abominations like that out there? Someone mentioned that DEG fandom is super sick?

It's more about attraction to still active bandomen. Once they retire, it's a different thing and they can be their private self! 😄 Lol, like who would look twice at Saki nowadays? That would just be girls looking to hook up with his labels bands....

Recommend, request or summarize the most cringy stuff here! Go wild! 😎🍿

Like really being into dad aroma?

Well, I am not going to talk about 0.1g no oyaji here, cause he is cool! I am going to honestly ask about why you find these VK grandpas still sexy, and with that I mean men in their 40-50s. You are excused if you are of similar age. But when I see all those pictures of veteran bandmen (10-15 years +) in bands, I can't stop noticing the strong signs of aging behind these walls of makeup they put on! I have become old, these guys have become old, and well, they have lost their sex appeal! At least to me. So when someone writes "Oh! Such a cute onnagata in their 40s..." I sometimes doubt them a little bit. I mean performance-whise I have nothing against "old" bands. They have lots of experience and can usually put on a really good and enjoyable show! Their music can be really good, too. Just some people are still saying "OMG! So sexy! (All those wrinkles!)" I know there are fans for everything, but I think at some point the illusion does not work anymore....

How are these guys still around? Because of money?
