sleepy coffee

Are people gonna really take this personal lmao

was going through Rakugaki and jiga's merch cause i wanna order some stuff soon when i came across oof https://jigaoffi.thebase.in/items/26262652 (but otherwise they actually got some really nice merch already) 

Im honestly fine with the singles format with this band considering their singles usually contain 1 boring track which I can overlook for the most part.  If they had to pump out a full album at once I'd be worried more of the release would be dull.

These guys deserve to be one of the more talked about bands in vk, theyve been so consistently solid. Literally the only negative I can think of is that some songs on gracia had weird mixing/feedback to it but even then that's a very minor complaint.

Regardless of what's their heaviest release so far, dadaism#1 is by far their best release and they should just start doing that again

I wonder if there is singles fatigue in their fanbase over there or if this is considered a good move. In here they've definitely plateu'd during the last two 

Their 2019 singles seem to still have sold really well in japan so ya i think fans there dont care what type of release it is

Tour final is tonight and tour finals have always been when theyve announced new music so start placing your bets, are we moving onto single #9 or are they gonna shake it up with a mini or full length 

Yassssss

I like them a lot, but this market strategy idea of stretching the hype releasing a single with a high quality pv every four months is really gay.

 

It's like an AAA DLC-based band.

i mean it still amounts to 10-12 songs a year so i think its fine, but i do think the gap between the last single and whatever comes next will be the longest so maybe whatever is next will be a mini of full length album

ve just re-checked Kizu.

How can they be that popular? They are like "big" from the start. 

Is it because of vocalist Lime (来夢), because he was popular in LEZARD?  Was LEZARD really that popular?

theres an explanation on the kizu thread. lezard is apart of whatever free will/FWD is and was, so when lime left the band and started up a kizu they automatically became apart of fwd (specifically damage is the name of their label but the affiliations are obvious). if you look at any unofficial upload of kizu on youtube, in the tags it all says, licensed to youtube by direngreyweb

ˆ I think we've been through that already 

 

Each to their own, you either buy it or don't. As a forum I don't think we have to collectively white knight for some high school dropout's rockstar dreams in 2020 when the amazon is burning and shit. If h00mans can't find a more sustainable way to produce and distribute music other than by manufacturing rows upon rows of plastic junk to sell for idiotic prices to fund all the parasitic middle men of that entire process who have nothing to do with the music anyway, then I don't mind if we just nuke the entire culture and go back to playing drums in circles.

unrelated to your post but it looks like the edgy Akane tweet in your sig has disappeared and i feel like that was a moment that needs to be preserved until the end of time 

is it just me or does his vocals sound considerably weaker/more strained

This is the full version though. Merged both threads. Strange that they released this well over a year later...

kiwamu probably looked at his hard drive and realized he had never released it til now lol. with that being said, imo its very notable how much better the quality sounds on the newest mini compared to all these releases. 

i know theyre definitely one of those bands people either love or hate but avenged sevenfold just re-released their b-sides album from 2008 now with some other unreleased tracks to anyone who's interested. theres a good chance some tracks here people have missed out on if they used to be into the band

Have they release a clip of this before?

Yes

Haru from Scapegoat, Sho from Dimlim. Katsuya from Slothreat, or Mar from Verxina tbh 

General admission for Brazil has sold out, 40ish meet and greet tickets left if you're out there and wanted to see them.

Wow these instrumentals could not sound more obnoxious lol and vocals are whatever too, sounds like every metalcore band I listened to when I was 12 

About 10 chapters off from catching up on chainsaw man and holy fuck what an absolute batshit insane, over the top manga so far lmao. Honestly incredible and if there isnt an adaptation planned for it yet I hope one eventually happens

Announcement today is a oneman show in japan, assuming nothing else gets announced between now and then this is gonna be their first show in japan since this past december.

Definitely read Chainsaw Man, it's really, really good. The best Jump series in a loooong time.

If you end up liking it I recommend Fire Punch, it's by the same author. The name and pitch might make it seem like a bog-standard shonen but... well, you'll just have to read it lmao

I recall starting chainsaw man awhile ago and thought it was wild af (granted that was only maybe 10-20 chapters) so I cant wait to continue it. And thanks for the heads up on fire punch, I'll try to get around to it once I catch up on everything else 

Gotte back into reading some manga after figuring out I can get away with reading as much as I want at work lol.

Over the past month I've read Monster and Death Note in its entirety. I've seen both anime plenty of times but never read the manga for it. Monster is probably more or less as faithful as an adaptation as it can get, death note on the other hand felt pretty different. Especially during major 2nd half with Near and Mello. Also read a manga called Aoharu x Machinegun at my friends request because it's her favorite. Also read the new Death Note one shot that came out just this past monday, I thought it was a bit dull but it's still good to see Near and Ryuk again. And right now I'm keeping up with Gleipnir, the Promised Neverland, and Dr. Stone all of which I really enjoy and cant wait to see how each series continues and eventually ends. In terms of other manga I plan on starting/catching up with, I'm probably leaning towards Chainsaw Man, Blue Exorcist, and One Piece (yes I'm serious lol)

It just clicked with me while listening to the full release all the song titles are names of flowers lol I wonder if theres some meaning to it in the lyrics 🤔

he also mentions that the new bassist has some nice guns.

According to his social media the bassist is into kickboxing so he must be fit lol
