Vk's like a telenovela~ it's been on some local, obscure TV channel for 20 years, you're on the 1537th episode and by this point 75% od the cast has been replaced and you can't even remember the original actors. 90% of the characters had at one point slept/married/divorced each other. Some of it is subbed but some is not, and honestly either way it doesn't really make much difference. Someone is gesticulating wildly while crying and half of the set is on fire. 
 
Also it's almost 2am and I'm drunk on a Wednesday.

Got some Boris shit. Download cards for the records would have been nice, now I gotta digitise them.

When you’re talking to someone and they have no clue how happy they’re making you just by talking to you, it’s such a good feeling and I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time ❤️

It's alright! I know, I was worried they'd break up after that happened too, but I'm glad they managed to get through it. I haven't heard of that! I didn't know they made a side project. :0 What is it like?
 
Oh, nice! That's cool though, I feel like taiban could be really cool because you get to see the band you like more up close and check out other bands you don't know from the safety of the back lol. I'd like to try going to one. Thanks, hopefully so! Lol I don't mind uploading them! Here you go: https://imgur.com/a/t5ZpBSA Last one is my awkward pic with them lmfao, I'm a guy with a beard now but that was me then,,,
 
I really do like Ikuma's voice ;-; I'm sure I can find ONE of their songs I like haha. Maybe so. Agreed! I just received physical copies of AGENT FILE and their 1st album -&- which I am super super pleased about!! I noticed in the credits area of AGENT FILE they actually listed all members of the GazettE under "special thanks" lol. At least they were up front about their obvious inspiration, but I don't think it was to the point of them copying them or anything. I think AND's music was a mix of early GazettE and their own sound and the result was pretty cool!

Japan trip loot

should note, i believe this will be a live limited release 

Oh, sorry! I completely misunderstood what you meant! Yeah, I remember that terrible, unfortunate accident. I was so afraid they were going to break up. It was good to hear when they came back though. Haha, I have that album as well. It's one of my favorites by them with many great songs on it. Also, slightly off-topic, but have you heard of the side project(?), Lill, that Tomo and Rui (vistlip) have formed?
 
 
I did attend some VK lives a long time ago (makes me feel old when I say that o_o;) I never saw BORN's one-man live, but I did manage to somehow always catch them when they played lives with other bands (taiban). Oh, darn. Hopefully, you'll be able to attend lives in Japan when you go back next time. It's certainly a different experience. Yeah, the gya culture can be a bit scary. I just avoid it as best as I can and enjoy the music/live. For some reason, I'm not surprised Kifumi might have been the one to stage dive because of his enthusiasm overall. Terrible pictures capture the best moments, lol, right? If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to see it anyways XD Seeing a piece of VK history is always great. 
Yeah, one of the main reasons I listen to REIGN is because of Ikuma's voice. Perhaps this is the kind of music he likes to make? (Oh, no don't die D:) At least AND's music will still be there for us to listen to.

I went through my random shit folder and came across some memes and other dumb edits I've made, and figured some of them could be shared here too. Fairly long post incoming haha
 
 

Have you never looked at an actor and thought he looks way better now that he's older? For example, Leo DiCaprio was a pretty generic looking dude as a teen, now that's he's in his 40s and his looks have matured, I dunno, I think he's a lot more handsome. 
I don't have a particular attraction for older men, but some people just grow into their looks over the years. I think Uruha is aging like fine wine, and yeah at some point they need to take it easy with the make up because there's no point in trying to hide anything.
 
There's something attractive about someone who confidently embraces their age. 

Sorry for the super late response (I wasn't able to get near a computer ;w;)
 
Haha, my family still mistakes VK guys as girls even though they're missing some obvious features ^^; 
 
Vistlip did take a bit of a break since I think the vocalist, Tomo, had some health issues and couldn't sing, but apparently they're back. Yeah, it's always nice to see bands together even after 10+ years since it seems there are many bands who disband at the 10 year mark  It's happened to a lot of bands I liked, but hopefully it won't happen to vistlip. I wouldn't expect anything less from BORN especially from their early days, haha. They had a lot of energy when they played live, which makes me think perhaps they're more of a 'live' band than a 'recording studio' band xD Yup, I did manage to see them live although Kifumi already left the band by then, so I sadly never saw him play his awesome bass. Lol, that's pretty cool you got to take a picture with Ryoga (despite the cringeness of the photo). Haha, I look at the photos I took with VK artist and think, why did I look like that? XD It seems like Ryoga gets really excited and pumped when performing lives and meeting fans, lol.
 
Agree! They were pretty underrated although I guess maybe it could be that people considered them knock-offs Gazette? Well, I love Ikuma's and the instrumentals voice in any case. Yesss, that is such a good song! I haven't listened to them in a while, and forgot how awesome it is, haha. I have a hard time choosing which song I like from them. I'll just stick a few of their songs underneath the spoiler:
 
 
Same here,. I remember being pretty much solely dedicated to VK, even dropping any other hobbies I had at the time XD Yeah, Reign's sound is different from AND ;w; I've only recently started listening to REIGN so I'm not familiar with the whole discography yet. I started off listening to their first full album, 666. Although, as you've already said, it's not quite the same as AND's sound. It's something else all together, lol. Not sure if I completely like them yet, but Ikuma's voice is still as strong as ever. As of now, I really like these songs: 
 
 
No problem  I get super exciting talking about VK with others, so thank you!
