Shin Megami Tensei 3, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Monster Rancher 4
I really enjoy monster collecting games

Clack inc. have announced they're going to do another livestream on April 4th, this time completely audience-free. More info like the time etc. will be out at a later date.
 
(Edited the post because I had  posted their previous live before realizing that someone else had already lol)

Apparently the charity projects will continue. Kudos to Asagi. 
 

Gackt begins selling his bath water
Maria Cross and Tekashi 6ix9ine begin a collaborative duo project (after he gets out of jail) 
New X Japan album comes out but it features BTS on every track
YELLOW FRIED CHICKENZ REVIVAL 
Kamijo comes out as transracial. "I was born in za wrong body. Je suis Furansuman desu"
Kisaki is a guest feature on the new chris brown single
Klaha comes back. Not to reunite with Malice Mizer, but to do time for his 15 years of tax evasion
Hizaki quits music to become a full time E-girl

hopefully overtime nicolas can begin selling CDs at more shops (right now it's only available at village vanguard in person) but im guessing it's hard for them right now since they're independent. when they were still under an actual label as gossip it was a lot easier to distribute their music 😧
 
if anyone can get their hands on it tho, their new album UMBRA is fucking amazing

They have uploaded FULL PV of some old songs.
 

I guess I should do an intro huh lol 
 
I'm Reida and I've been a fan of VK for awhile now. My #1 favorite band is the GazettE but I also follow RANDS and another band. I got into VK thanks to MUCC and D'espairsRay and have been going downhill ever since. I go to lives whenever possible and I make GazettE furi videos lmao I don't follow much new VK anymore. I just stick to 2-3 bands since a lot of newer bands (besides RANDS) don't really catch my interest anymore, plus, money.
 
Idk what else to say. I've known about this place for a long time, but never joined until now so that I could offer a shopping service for overseas 蘭図 (RANDS) fans. I'm really only active on Twitter and Instagram now a days.... and not using my typical username lol

So I heard a few days ago that there's a stay home policy now, in the US, and how some will get stopped by a police to get checked if they have an essential employee badge or something of the sort. Ofc, you can still go out to buy groceries. Received a call yesterday from my lead saying that we're one of the essential workers (we make shirts for other companies and apparently Kwik Trip still needs them), but I'm only part-time so they schedule full-timers first. Currently, I'm only scheduled once a week, but sometimes they'll call me off anyway.
 
My art uni, in San Francisco, is staying fully online for the rest of the semester. I'm pretty glad I chose to attend online for my second year, I attended on campus my first year, because I'd be freaking out so much being so far away from home and living in a big city. It's already scary enough living in a big city for me so I wouldn't be able to handle it if I was still there with all this going on. I'd fly back home so fast. I hope others who are faraway from home have made it back safe or are staying safe elsewhere. I feel so worried about everyone else in general, please stay safe!

Clack inc. have now uploaded their whole discography on every digital platform. Please check it out, you won't regret it!

Having things on the webshop is much better than live-limited only.
 
Also, acoustic track! Looking forward to it.

Two important news:
 
- Clack inc.'s new song "5th" is out. You can get it here (and possibily other platforms I may not be aware of). It's a fantastic song, so please check it🙏
 
- Clack inc. will stream their live on YouTube on March 24th, 19.55 JST.

Tune in if you're curious to see how they sound live☺️

ACNH is 👌 also the passport titles are the funniest thing ever. I went from Pocket Mama to Freshly Delivered Egg to this.
 

again I've not drawn much big gaps between, but when I do I at least feel happier with being able to express what I see. Although now I am thinking I want to spend this free time learning the guitar rather than draw because I've always wanted to.

Hi, welcome! Happy to meet a new VK fan~
 
Oh, boy. Being in the 2000s really brings back lots of memories. As others have said, p2p software (like limewire, kazaa, etc.) was a great gateway into obtaining VK music. I also remember there were also many blogs (including random geocities/angelfire websites, lol) that hosted music, MVs, and scans/pictures as well. Although I think they've all disappeared to the sands of time. I think, at one point, people had migrated to tumblr where people translated lyrics and random VK musician's blogs and shared scans/pictures. It was certainly an adventure to try to look for music and find scans back then, lol.
 
As for info on band members and such, I know vkdb is a popular place, which is still active. (Link: https://www.vkdb.jp/#gsc.tab=0)

kinda thankful they have a webshop now at least, makes it somewhat accessible. interested in the live version of 真昼の蜃気楼 😍

There's a special repress up for Meitei's Komachi. A bit pricey at around $45 USD shipped, but it looks lovely. This is worded much better so I'll just repost the description from the artist's bandcamp:
