This reminded me of the ballad song "Love will be born again" by Versailles.

Silly God Disco by Gazette (I didn't know it was mostly in English when I first listened to it 😅)

Haha, yes, same here! When I re-watched it just now, I was thinking how I still wanted those contact lenses XD Also, here are some more I thought of ^^; D'espairsRay - Garnet SCREW - Vanquish D - Huang di ~ Yami ni Umareta Mukui ~

I totally forgot about this music video! I really enjoy the song and the light-hearted, playful video This music video really brings back lots of memories~ It was one of the first songs that I discovered by Nightmare. I remember I loved watching this video on repeat many times, lol.

Just a few I thought of... Moran - 紅差し (Benisashi) Kagrra, - Shiroi Uso (They have really beautiful music videos in general ^^) the GazettE - Burial Applicant Sug - Love Scream Party

Unfortunately, not really. I want to say it had something to do with the band itself, but I couldn't say for sure since she didn't really elaborate too much on it ^^;

This reminds me of a bangya who I met a long time ago. She wanted to attend the lives that Daizystripper played at but at the same time she didn't want to go because she wanted to avoid a certain friend whom she got into a fight with. Not exactly sure what it was about since she was a little vague on the exact details, but when we attended a taiban live where Daizystripper was playing, she saw her friend there. And her friend, including the girls her friend was hanging out with, completely ignored her even though they knew she was there. Basically, the whole group ostracized her like she was unwelcomed/unwanted there. I'm not sure what her exact feelings were, but I could see it made her feel awkward, unsettled, and depressed. (Not sure if she totally quit going to Daizystripper lives or not.) Being raised from a more Western perspective, I wouldn't quit so easily, but as @Komorebi perfectly stated, the social situation in Japan is different, and when you start to attend more VK lives/events/etc., the same people tend to show up, so it'd be hard to avoid these bullies sadly 😕

Yeah, I remember seeing it around on places like LiveJournal and Tumblr (especially on member-centered communities/pages - i.e. "[insert bandomen's name]_a_day_community) I don't think anything is wrong with the communities itself, but that kind of behavior doesn't make sense because each fan in said communities like the same bands/people, right...? Some things I will never understand ^^;

Great live report! It sounds like you had an amazing, fun time. It's always such a treat to see these bands play live on their home turf (i.e. in Japan). And being able to experience the intimate and exciting atmosphere these bands exude when playing at these smaller livehouses is always a bonus. Looking forward to reading your next live report! Reminds me of how I usually leave hours in advance in an unfamiliar place because being directionally challenged, lol. Not being fluent in the language doesn't help either ^^;

The vocalist, muku, has developed vocal chord polyps and will need to have an operation on 4th June. Thus, the band will not be able to perform in June.

Aw, Ohana looks so cute in the MV~ And the single sounds promising! Can't wait to hear the full version
