Here's a summary of the post:
Kana was diagnosed with adjustment disorder in January 2018 and he told the president of B'Forest Inc., but the president didn't understand and told him he was sick and fired him.  In March he got an attorney and in June he filed a lawsuit against the president for power harassment and for money he was owed.  In the first trial it was confirmed that B'Forest Inc. owed Kana 3.2 million yen and that the president did indeed partake in power harassment.  The court ordered B'Forest Inc. to pay Kana 3.7 million yen.  However the president made an appeal, and at the appeal hearing in August 2020 they reached a settlement in Kana's favor of 3.3 million yen and an apology for the president's lack of consideration towards Kana's disorder.  Kana received the settlement in September. 

He couldn't write about it before because it was part of the trial, but he had been suffering from power harassment for years and eventually developed adjustment disorder because of it.  Apparently the president never admitted to power harassment.  Kana does not forgive the harassment and was initially adamant about the court's decision because he didn't want it to keep happening to his former label mates, but after the president appealed he just decided to accept the settlement.  He wants his former label mates to be paid properly or to stop working for the label.  He also made it a point to say that the president did apologize so no one should slander him or harass him because of this. 
 
In regards to how he's doing he says he is physically and mentally healthy.  The trial took a long time and he had to get treatment for his disorder but he's glad he worked so hard and was rewarded by the trial.  He didn't want to leave all the people that were concerned about him without answers, and he wanted to talk about his feelings over the last two and a half years, so this is why he made the post now.  He would like to return to the stage again some day and hopes everyone is doing well during these times.

What I got via machine translation is that he had adjustment disorder, and president of B' FOREST fired him.  Also he sued the president for unpaid remuneration of roughly 3 million yen and power harassment.
 
^Seems to mean that his former labelmates are still going unpaid?
 
Someone with actual japanese knowledge please summarize this.

Compared to the 己龍 and Royz compilations, this is very disappointing. Only a few re-recordings, nothing pre-BPR, nothing other than singles. I was kinda hoping they'd re-record something from CANDYMAN. Not feeling very enthusiastic about this 🤷‍♂️

To celebrate their 10th anniversary together, コドモドラゴン (Codomo Dragon) will release their best-album titled "WORST" ! 
 
Webshop limited edition 2CD+DVD+54p booklet+4 masks (¥11,000+tax) will be available at the end of January and the regular edition 2CD+32p booklet (¥3,500+tax) will be available 2021/02/03.

Hello all,
Many bands have started selling tickets for "streaming concerts", that even we can access even from our non-Japanese homes. Of course there is the "Corona-related Livestreams / concert videos", but that is more about videos posted on Youtube, as a treat to fans until actual concerts can start again?
There is also the "Events" sub-forum, but it looks like it's been abandoned after the Coronovirus spread (as no one can attend events anymore).
 
In the end, maybe these "streaming lives" could deserve a topic or sub-forum of their own? Or should they be treated as "news" and announced in that forum?
 
I have to admit I rarely come here, and even more rarely post here, but I did expect to see these concerts listed somewhere here. I rarely come here, even more rarely post here, but I consider this forum as one of the very few still active sources of information for visual-kei and Jrock, so... it would make sense to find them listed somewhere? Unless I missed their topic or sub-forum?
 
Thanks!

The poisonous idol group “POISON RAT (ポイズンラット)” has suddenly appeared in the Nagoya idol world. POISON RAT’s fierce live shows scatter deadly poison and with their addictive PIKOPIKO sound it will poison your body which lets your body move!! 
Leader Yuzuriha Riri (楪 菻李 ), she also wrote a lot of lyrics which POISON RAT performs. 
Poisonous outbreaks! Poisonous alert issued!
If you’ve come to the live shows, you’re an “infected person”!
Because POISON RAT is a big infection that’s sweeping the floor!
POISON RAT’s music is composed by Nagoya’s rock band THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS, PENPEN(u-ya), 残響P/708(ハローモンテスキュー) and tmg(Ei).

Please introduce yourself
Ichitani Aju: I’m POISON RAT’s Red member Aju! I’m doing the death growls and shouts!
 
Anon Yura:  I’m pink member Ano Yura. I’m a good dancer and I’m the member who laughs the most! Also I like to talk to people, once I start talking, I keep talking! Nice to meet you!(  ࿀  )
 
Yuzuriha Riri: I’m a really easy to understand person, I really do like singing and it’s also my specialty. Lately, I’m getting better at dancing, I never was a good dancer, but I’ve come to a point that people started to say “I never thought you were a bad dancer once”. So it makes me really happy if someone praised me for dancing more than being praised for singing.  
 
Please introduce POISON RAT members.
Anon Yura: We really can laugh about anything with each other, well sometimes I just laugh straight away right?(laugh)
 
 
What is the meaning behind the name POISON RAT?
Yuzuriha Riri: It’s my favorite animal! But that’s not the reason why we called the band POISON RAT, we just wanted to have a name which sounds beautiful and which can be remembered and be called out easily by many people, that’s how the name received its shape.  
 
How would you describe the music style of POISON RAT?
Ichitani Aju: Not only typical idol-like songs, but also mega cool “band” music.
 
Anon Yura: PICOPICO, band-ish sound. 
 
Yuzuriha Riri: I’m aiming that the music we pour out that it collides with our soul rather than just being good or bad. 
 
What makes POISON RAT special for you?
Ichitani Aju: POISON RAT is the only and best place to be. It’s the kind of place where you want to affirm that you’re alive and affirm the meaning of someone else’s life.
 
Anon Yura: POISON RAT is my life. 
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Unique member personality and one of the strength points is that the sound totally fits my voice!
 
When and how was POISON RAT formed?
Ichitani Aju: 2017/12/24, But I joined the group at a later moment, so I don’t know the story behind the formation. Our current line-up was formed on April 13, 2018.
 
Anon Yura: 2017.12.24
 
Yuzuriha Riri: This is a conversation I’ve had with our producer Teruna about what kind of group I’d like to be in and that’s what POISON RAT is now, it gradually embodies it. 
 
What have been the highlights of your activity?
Ichitani Aju: That we have achieved crowdfunding. In the past many auditions attempts and other challenges I’ve done so far were not a success, just disappointing, But I’m really glad to have been able to succeed this project with all our fans! 
 
Anon Yura: All big lives, but especially our one-man lives.
 
Yuzuriha Riri: There are so many highlights, but I don’t want to raise them over here. I don’t want to cling to past highlights too much, because I wish to make new highlights of every new day from now on. 
 
Why did you want to become an idol? Who or what inspired you?
Ichitani Aju: At first, I didn’t want to become an idol, but rather I wanted to be involved in it because I love music. So I was wondering how I could step in that world, so I wanted for my very first time to watch an idol live, mainly because I knew one of the former members, everyone was so sparkling, So after seeing the show I really wanted to be an idol too. 
 
Anon Yura: I loved idols and longed for them, so I wanted to stand on stage too!, I guess that was the trigger.  I always liked Tomomi Itano from akb48, I admire her because she is a great dancer and singer, so I really wanted to be like her.
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Actually I’ve been making fun of the idol genre for a long time. The dances aren’t hard, but most of the time it’s lip-synching. I’ve been saved by putting my trust in music all my life, so I thought that lip-synching was the biggest insult to music. 
“But don’t you want to be on Idol?” Since our Producer Teruna invited me to become one, It really gave me lots to think about which led to that I wanted to see what kind of idols I’ve been making fun of and because I wanted to see what they were focusing on and things like that.
 
 
How would you like your fans to support you? 
Anon Yura: I always wish that everyone can get along with anybody around them and support us together no matter where we are. 
 
Yuzuriha Riri: All I wish for is that you like our music. However if you don’t come to our shows etc, we won’t get results. However my personal feelings won’t change because of it, if you like me, I also will like you! 
 
What is the most important thing you want to receive?
Anon Yura: Fans happiness after seeing me perform a live show, I really want to be such a person to give my fans smiles and to receive them because of it. 
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Everyone’s feelings~~~~~
 
How do you prepare for a live show?
Ichitani Aju: While the soundcheck we all check out together how we will perform our show that day. Also we do some voice exercises before the show. 
 
Anon Yura: We also do some small preparation work, dressing up and getting ready for the show.
 
Yuzuriha Riri: I wouldn’t name it preparation, but it’s very specific such as stretching your body and vocalization before the performance, but that’s not preparation, it’s more about how to turn your mind to the right mind setting to prepare for the show like “We’re going to hit on stage again today too!!” 
 
What’s your favorite part of your live shows?
Ichitani Aju: When I notice someone who has never seen POISON RAT before.  At first their faces are like “don’t enjoy”… but I really love it and it really gets fun when they start raising their first and shout long. 
 
Anon Yura: When I felt the sense of unity with our audience. It’s really fun when we all have together as one unit! 
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Before you get united with music as one there is always a space gab. I mean, if there are 100 people in the same room, then each person has their own life, we all have our own struggles and fun times which we cannot always share with others. Even if you listen to the same music, you might never have the same feeling, and that’s fine. But even if our feelings are different and live music is playing, we are looking in the same direction and being filled with emotions which we share together, and that only can happen live.  
 
How do you decide on the costumes?
Ichitani Aju: I asked my favorite brands “M:E” and “kakuremi”, to create our costumes and also the last two shows before I became an idol for this group. I’m happy that I’ve received so many opportunities to work with them.
 
Anon Yura: We all consult and decide together!
 
Yuzuriha Riri: We’ll discuss the details with each other, but I’ll leave it up to the people who make our customs and our producer Teruna to handle the general details etc.
 
What’s your favorite song of POISON RAT?
Ichitani Aju: 毒69 (doku 69)
It’s my first song that’s my very own, so I’m deeply fond of it.
 
Anon Yura: It’s salam, I really like it because it expresses me so well!
 
Yuzuriha Riri: I’ve so many memories of all the songs, so I can’t really tie them just to one song, but I especially like grayscale because the song feels as if I wrote the song myself from out of my heart. 
 
 
Who decides the choreography?
Ichitani Aju: Mostly Yura and Teruna, but everyone is free to give some input ideas. 
 
Anon Yura: Our producer, other idols and choreographers. 
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Yura and Teruna are the main ones. But we are all working on it little by little. 
 
Who is your favorite artist?
Ichitani Aju: SUG. 
 
Anon Yura:  EXILE THE SECOND　＆　風男塾 (Fudanjuku)
 
Yuzuriha Riri: I do like many artists, but recently I really like the band CIVIRIAN.
 
What’s your favorite genre of music?
Ichitani Aju: Japanese rock.
 
Anon Yura: Idol.
 
Yuzuriha Riri: I always liked to listen to Anime and Vocaloid music, I still like to listen to it from time to time.
 
What is your favorite food?
Ichitani Aju: Plum
 
Anon Yura: I love tomato-based food, Pasta with meatballs, Hayashi Rice, Minestrone, carbohydrates.
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Yakiniku and chocolate!
 
What is your favorite drink?
Ichitani Aju: Ginger ale dry.
 
Anon Yura: Cafe latte.
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Cocacola, milk, Dr. Pepper
 
What are your hobbies?
Ichitani Aju:  Gaming, especially FPS (First Person Shooter).
 
Anon Yura: Watching youtube
 
Yuzuriha Riri: My hobby was music, so since I started this job as an idol the hobby kind of disappeared, but I really like to go singing karaoke on my free days.  
 
What are your recent interests?
Ichitani Aju: I love cooking, recently I’m learning how to cook a dish exactly how it’s shown in a photo. 
 
Anon Yura: Dancing. 
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Cooking!! I’d like to get better at it and turn it into a hobby. 
 
What makes you smile?
Ichitani Aju: The smiles of all the Otakus.
 
Anon Yura: When everyone is smiling. 
 
Yuzuriha Riri: The smiles of everyone who supports me. that’s all.
 
If you could make a live show abroad, where would you like to do it?
Ichitani Aju: I would like to perform at  DEAD RHYTHM EASTER FEST. 
 
Anon Yura: Taiwan or South Korea!
 
Yuzuriha Riri: China, South Korea, and the Philippines are closely related to Japanese culture, so I would like to show people over there the world of POISON RAT.
 
Corona is a global issue at the moment. As an artist, how do you deal with this issue?
Ichitani Aju: For idols and for the music industry right now.
I think everyone is filled with cloudy feelings. 
I hope I can cheer you up as much as I can without any boundaries of genre!
 
Anon Yura: We have been unable to perform well due corona, so we have been unable to express ourselves well enough, However we give our best to use SNS to communicate with everyone and to let people who don’t know us yet who POISON RAT are!
 
Yuzuriha Riri: I hope that anybody who feels sad because of Corona will be happy again.  
 
What’s your ultimate goal for the future of POISON RAT?
Ichitani Aju: To play at Budokan, with anyone calling out for us!
 
Anon Yura: To stand on a big stage with us four together. 
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Ultimately, it’s hard to say, but to put it simply, I want to be an artist that everyone can understand when they hear “POISON RAT”.
 
Please write your message to your fans and readers.
Ichitani Aju: Thank you for your support!! I hope that everyone will follow me! I will do my best to show you the very best LIVE’s you will ever see!  Thank for you (continued) support for POISON RAT!!~ 
 
Anon Yura: Thank you for always supporting POISON RAT! We’re going to grow much bigger in the future, so I’d be happy if you could (continue) watch over me/us!
 
Yuzuriha Riri: Thank you very much!! Please keep following us so that our music will become one of your reasons to “live”, we will continue until we die!
 
 

vexent has quite a few gaze rip off songs for sure. but a lot of bands do now a days orz
gaze's management doesn't seem to target everyone, only select few it seems. i don't know how they decide, but i know gossip and another band got in trouble in the past. the other band i can't remember their name but they're a vk band thats known for doing parodies and they're the one that most recently got in some trouble. "trouble"? meh
 
basically the band would get warned by management to not continue certain things or do things.

XANVALA new single "ジャノメ" will be released at 2021/01/30.
 

It's been ten great years of listening to more J-rock/VK! The list was what I could think think of. It's in no particular order.
 
Put it under a spoiler cut since it got a bit long ^^;
 
 
 

I figured it'd be difficult to make a complete list that I will actually like, so here's the first releases that comes to mind:
 
Grieva - Shuuen
Grieva - Oni to kage
Kuroyuri to kage - Hinikuna tane no hikutsuna me
Gossip - Demodori kichiku saiko yarou (saihan)
Arlequin - Near Equal
Dezert - Title Nashi
Lin - Chaotic Resistance
the Gazette - Dogma
Dir en grey - Arche
Diaura - Focus
Matsutake Works - Yowai hitotachi
Diaura - Genesis
Devil Kitty - Mesubuta kaitaishinsho
Avelcain - Avelcain
Vior gloire - Gloomy and wakeful night
Mamireta - Shiin single series
 
Missing a tons, no doubt. This was what I could get from the top of my head in a minute. 

Develop One's Faculties - Reincarnation
  -  sounded fresher than anything else vk at the time and still sounds fresh today.
DEG - Dum Spiro Spero
  -  not as good as Uroboros but the highs of this album (about half of it) are great.
DIAURA - Incomplete
  -  has most their best songs and Yo-ka's vocals sound super smooth. Cool mixture of old school and new school sound.
Dimlim - Chedoara
  -  the pv tracks are still the best but it's all good.
gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy - Fujouri Shugeki and In incontinence
  -  experienced old man musicians at the top of their game. Hard to pick one out of these two albums.
IX NINE - NIRDVANDVA
  -  mainly the first disc. Nice blend of metal, electronic, and sadboi atmospheric stuff.
The Gallo - Diavolo and Lucifero
  -  the vibration of Jojo's vocals is really addictive to listen to and the music is really catchy but never gets old. I blasted these two albums everyday for ages.
Tokusatsu - 5 Nengo no Sekai
  -  Ootsuki Kenji at his best. Has the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei openings and a bunch of other really great songs.
Wowaka - Unhappy Refrain
  -  mathy vocaloid rock. RIP.
 
Special Mention:
 - llll ligro - Tomurai: the 17 minutes of this that got released before it died was super good. RIP.
 
Honorable mentions:
- AINS stuff (Grieva, Kuroyuri to Kage, Gossip, Diaura): nearly everything off this label up to 2018 was really good.
- D.I.D - Providentia
- Kiryu - Mugen Hoyou and Shuka Ensen
- The god and death star's stuff

I started watching Demon Slayers, and I'm enjoying the plot so far. I'm interested in the strong bond that Tanjirou and Nezuko share, and I also like Tanjirou's character. I can't wait to see what kind of role the supporting cast/side characters will play.
 
Picked up Fruits Basket (the remake) since I remember watching the original anime many years ago. I'm curious to see how this new one will turn out, considering the anime technically never finished the plot as the manga was still ongoing at the time.
 
Sad to hear that the new Inuyasha anime is turning out to be more fanservice than actual story plot, though.

Hello!
i'm still not very sure how to use this ;;
but i've recently gotten back into visual kei! after a few years and i kept ending up on this page so i wanted to give it a shot!
 
some of the bands i really enjoy are: Mamireta, DAMY, DEZERT, Kizu, the GazettE, Dir En Grey, there's probably more but those are the ones from the top of  my head at the moment but please recommend me some other bands! 
 
i also cosplay and play some videos games and love to shitpost ;; 
feel free to message me i'd like to make more friends who are also into vkei!!
my instagram is @cultfurby !! 
i hope everyone is doing well!

I'll try to keep this short.  First off, I barely have posted anything on this site.  Mainly because of my shyness and a part of me not feeling as if I'm allowed to say things or have opinions of my own, so I don't believe that posting things on forums are for me.  Second, I've only used this site to read posts, so I don't really see a point in being seemingly active, but never posting anything.  
 
Basically I'm trying to say that I don't have any desire to post, and the occasion that I come on this site is rare.  Maybe I'll be back someday.
 
So bye.

Well, hospitals are full of covid19 people here. Medical people are burned out, the army is helping out.. 
 
And yet people think its just fake news and that it is just a simple flu. 
 
Yes for most people its just a simple flu,  but for the 1% who ends up in the hospitals it isnt just a flu. 
Also many young people get very sick and not all do recover well and a bunch even fly to heaven. Here a guy in his. 20ties dies and his brother survied with luck, but might never be able to functional normal because of his lungs damage. 
 
 
Right now, there is too less known about the virus,  little kids don't even really get it, might its. Because of some other vaccine? Or is it really due their immunesystem? 
 
 
I didn't catch covid19 yet... I still did catch the normal flu more times than normal.. 😅 But never was short in breath. 
 
 
 
But the most thing what angers me is... 
 
Whats the big deal of wearing a mask? 
Why do so many people refuse it. 
 
Even if you think everything is fake, why will you be such...... To not wear one? Since it doesn't harm your self or anybody around you. And even might helps out to at least not pass the normal flu... 🙃 Why bring so egoistic? 
 
 

Eh, decided to have some fun with some soft cosplay this Coronaween Halloween. I'm so glad I never went full Emo during high school, I used up an entire eyeliner pen for this look (＃＞＜)

whoaa long time no photo of me. just playing with some makeup cuz it's halloween. feeling very vk 😎
 

Despite everything that is going on  in the world right now, I'm in a big Halloween mood at the moment

The teaser is out
 
 

RAKUGAKI will suspend its activities after their one man live on 13 December.
