Masato

I read an interview on JaME of him. He said the only regret he had was to stop ReS. I can understand this. A good singer is nothing without a good composer. And satsuki is definetely not a good composer

i thought i was gonna off myself but i found this thread and also found my will to live...the will to watch satsuki hit rock bottom over n over again
 
also tbh i think people overlook how mediocre RES were in the greater scheme of things, especially considering they were a fkin FREE WILL band but they best they managed was shibuya quattro. I think yukari/whoever at free will really tried to push them hard, but as far as i see it, they were unlikeable outside of their core fanbase. Their music had some good moments, but honestly most of it was sloppy musicianship over some good melodies--satsuki isnt even a good singer, just has a pretty voice. When they were good, they were awesome but when they flopped it was awful lmfao. comparing them to kagerou, DEG, merry etc, RES kind of are a joke.
 
That said, I think the band were just an awful fit with poor management. They were more or less assembled by yukari to do his thing, but once they had to make their own image and sound, I dont think any of them (free will mgmt included) really had a good sense of taste or vision. Its not to say they werent talented, considering the amazing work mika and takumi are doing now (tbh the gag is that those are the only talented members they had), but it certainly didn't come across in their music all that often.
 
This is coming from someone who used to LOVE RES. I wonder how much satsuki flopping has coloured my thoughts on their music hahaha

It's the chorus I think. Some part of the song. Like A melo, B Melo, sabi
But i mix them up sometimes.

Well,  it's about bandomen live house experience. Lol
Like "The Wifi name of Meguro Rockmeikan is Rock01, Rock02, Rock03 - So cooooool!" 
Or at some venues the guys might overhear the bangya talking etc.
Some venues being in the love hotel quater etc.
 
Anyway, no time for a real translation. If someone can transcribe the kanji or get me the romanji it's easier.

I think Lack-co will go on as long as Tenten has to keep his "bandomen" status for his mitsu-girlfriend to sponsor him. It's his hobby band now I feel, only Milk and San have to "BL" whore themselves out for the band....
 
It's more likely the fans giving up on them since they deliver too little... music whise

Yeah! Damn.... seems like a interesting VK subculture song again.... but again! Real life! I am too busy....

They do deliver too little, however, I've seen them live like 3 times (at events) and they not only drive the crowd insane with crazy moshing and stuff but also most fans seemed to be a tad older than the average VK gya. Some have probably been following Tenten since who knows when. 
They also seem to have an interesting amount of male fans.

It seems "beast" is also the only band who cancelled their gig at the matina event.

I kind of see them going on a hiatus very soon and either pulling a Duel Jewel and coming back as Lycaon, or restarting their act as visual again under same name because by the end of Lycaon their CDs at least were selling well and now they're one step away from shilling $90 upcycled gap hoodies akin to the fellow flops 8PB-J

the one-hit 90s sensation ディオーラ (diaura) have announced that they will suspend activities 💔
 
They will hold their last live on November 1 at Shinjuku Blaze, where they will release a live-limited demo tape, "blind memory".
 

 

he sounds like a catatonic squirrel on a good half of those previews, and like a vocally struggling cat on the other, I can't believe this downgrade happened to the biggest vk sexbomb of 2010s tbh

"Singapore gum if chewed 500,000 yen fine'' is the best band name of the year.

and in your icon 😆
 
btw, Vk poetry translated Janiwota o Yamete Kurenaika.
 
I thought janiwota is how people called to Jhonny's fans

How lame is THAT?
 
Do they really have to do that? Bangya will buy your stupid shirts anyway to do 2shots with you.... Stay at least a bit visual.... #commercialkei

So basically he says that he had body issues before, as he is very slim and not manly/bulky. So he got the onnagata role that fit him well and he was happy with it. He always designed frilly skirts to cover his manly parts.  But then some fan sent him a message that she liked the occasional glimpses of manlyness. He was shocked, but decided to try it out with the last merryba costume and got more confident. He wants to explore this male/female dynamic in this photbook project.
Unfortunately it will not be R18. 🤣
 
Random rewards and a release party planned. 
 
Maybe finally the gravure fotobook we all deserve?
