I'm actually lead vocalist/screamer in a metalcore band

Also used to be the bassist/vocalist in a short-lived math-rockish emo band

Gonna just repeat my thoughts on DIMLIM for the zillionth time (as someone who loved them) - MISC. should have been an EP and they need to fill out their lineup before they start "touring the world" because I don't think they realize that playing with backtracks has like...way worse connotations in other scenes/countries than it does in the context of VK (and it sounds worse).

Well said and every post you've made here has been absolutely spot on. I agree we need to disagree and drop this now but after all this I find it completely bewildering we have one member who literally doesn't seem to be understanding anything anyone is saying and tbh their obsession with DIMLIM from what they've said here is a bit scary. So there's no point anyone saying anything if you don't think everything DIMLIM have done revolving the release of MISC and post has been anything short of incredible. Haha. 
 
As many have said, the change of musical style and look wasn't the problem for me either. Just a shame to see this band who were doing so well for themselves basically destroy themselves. I mean with the lack of activity and engagements of any kind they have no one to blame but themselves for people losing interest in them. And the comparisons to Dir en Grey changing styles are completely dumbfounded as yes, they changed styles, but they were also WAYYYYYY more popular after releasing their first album than DIMLIM have been in their entire career. Unless DIMLIM secretly did a sold out show on the release of VARIOUS or CHEDDAR no one has ever told me about?? Lol.
 
Funny it was mentioned that NAZARE show reports recently have claimed they weren't well attended.... I saw some clips Issei posted of drumcams during shows and was actually surprised how well attended they were considering the situation and the impending disbandment.... :/ But ya know what, maybe NAZARE disbanding is DIMLIMs guardian angel, maybe Issei should come back and set Retsu and the lads straight and make them great again. Why not bring uta along for the ride as well? Haha.

aliexpress D.I.D. x

People in the thread don't hate dimlim, we want them to succeed because they showed some of the strongest potential we'd seen around in a stale scene. 
 
People are salty because dimlim are shooting themselves in the foot and fucking up what could've been fantastic for fans, the band and vk. 

It's hard to tell.
 
Their OHP is like... dead or not working but their last Twitter post was in August.
Their official merch site is still up and running.
They're supposedly doing two shows in Shibuya in January.
 
As much as this band gets shitted on, I really hope they continue to be active. Unpopular opinion but I really enjoyed MISC.
 

Due to the improved production in the remakes i think i like the most of them over the originals! The new songs on the album are straight bangers, there are no songs that i think that i disliked... maybe the last two tracks may not end on the daily play to me tho.

This Japanese neurosis of being so concerned about obeying or not the rules to the extent of not reaching the sleep amazes me even to this day.

Here's a Nazare "live report" from yesterday's show at Aoyama Rizm written by my Japanese friend. He sent me a picture and the crowd was super small. 
---
I’m so pissed!!!
 
Because there was no announce about photograph, I took some pictures to show you.
Right after that, the tiny hobbit vocalist yelled at me saying “don’t shoot, obey the rule!!”
I was so turned down and couldn’t enjoy any songs.
 
I got pissed and talked to staff if there was any announcement about photos and they said no and it depends on the band.
 
I got a good idea. I sent my words directly to the vocalist through Twitter.
How could I know the rule I never heard.
So frustrated.
 
I said they should've announced beforehand if it's prohibited and you totally ruined my opportunity to have fun. I greatly lost my time and money. 
 
I would never listen to them.
 
I wish I could just laugh it away, but the way I was told was so rude without plite words and that is I can't stand with.
 
[Later he emailed again:]
I'm very mad I was told "rule wo mamore".
The rule I didn't even know.
 
I don't know why but I just hate to be said.
It sounds like I broke it on purpose.
 
And he didn't use KEIGO to customer who paid money for them. Don't act like one of cool artists he totaly imitated Kyo, hairstyle, clothes and everything.
He said he bought the same brand.
 
[And then after sleeping, another email]
Oh, I just came up with two idea why the vocalist had to stop me.
He was afraid that I would post it on Twitter and that could damage and cancel their final tour. He is the cause of disbanding, so he didn't cause any more trouble to other members.
Also, he didn't want anyone to see how they couldn't gather enough audiences because it's Kakkowarui.
 
They have to suffer something in return. For that I don't need my direct revenge.
Let's see what happens after doing rude to me.

Josh Wilbur mixed Ochita Koto no Aru Sora, Jens Bogren mixed CLEVER SLEAZOID (and disc 2 of TIW).
Mastering on all songs was done by Brian Gardner.
The lyrics not being available in the digital release done on Kyo's wishes, but they'll be included in the Pia Arena MM special package.
