~ some band will have some silly ass name like "fidget spinner"

~Unite will do some gangsta rap shit singing about dropping "doki doki cookies on yo ass biatch"

I second this.

I predict that:

* DELUHI will finally return after almost eight years, only to disband again two months later

* Sugar Or Dry will disband, quickly followed by MiA's reputation getting even worse due to some other carcinogenic shit-kei project

* DIAURA will keep on slaying it

* ACME will keep on slaying it

* Munou Na Lucid will get HOOGE

* A band will form that tries to mix oshare kei and brutal kei; not only that, but it's actually not that bad

I like how they have this nice, cute and happy style without going too over-the-top with it. They sort of remind me of ACME with a different aesthetic.

Not bad! They have potential. It'll be interesting to hear what they release in the future. Let's just hope they don't get into those trends of either losing one or two members really quickly after formation or just flat-out disbanding after one live.

Wish I could go see them! I just hope they come back for real. It's probably just wishful thinking - I mean, it has been seven and a half years - but who knows. Besides, a girl can dream, eh?

SuG, they were shit. I was glad when they disbanded. They just sounded like a crappy Blink-182 knock-off. That, and on the rare occasion that they released a good song (and I use the word "good" lightly), Takeru just had to go and ruin it with his god-awful rapping.

I'm happy this thread exists. I was considering making a thread like this, but then I thought "nah" and I dunno why.

This is something I've been wanting people's opinions on for some time now. Personally, I don't think it necessarily is (my take is that it's thicker than clean water), but I've had people tell me that "there's no way you could ever really stop caring for your family". What do you guys think?

as someone who's fucked in the head, I wanted to major in Psychology for a while before applying for college until I switched to something else and I'm really glad I did that to be fairly honest. I thought having a mental illness would qualify me to deal with other people's thoughts and feelings as a profession on a daily basis, but oh boy was I wrong. probably not my place to tell you this, but really think wisely about it.

I don't have it anymore, if that means anything. I think that the experience of having had it all those times and knowing how to get rid of it would give me knowledge in the field. Hopefully, anyways. Thank you for the advice, though. I know it's not a career choice to be taken lightly, but I am absolutely certain that this is what I want to do. I know someone who was a therapist for a while, and he said that the majority of therapists end up with therapists of their own, and I think that's something I'm prepared to deal with. However low I may feel in that job, I know it's something I can deal with and recover from because I know it won't be anywhere near as bad as my mental health used to be. I won't overdo it, but I don't think it'll be enough to stop me from wanting to become a therapist. If it gets too much, I'll be honest with myself and quit, but I'd feel unfulfilled if I didn't go for it.

This is one of the many reasons we like Kaya

They sound like run-of-the-mill Tanuki rumours. Maybe their disbandment was planned from the start and this whole project was just a ploy to take the piss out of Tanuki? Sounds like something I'd do, tbh.

As one of the babbies of this site, I'm a bit too young to go to university, but I'd like to become a psychotherapist. It's not a happy job, but I know it's what I want to do. Generally speaking, England is very pessimistic and bloody miserable in terms of mental health, and no-one really takes it seriously. It's a cultural thing, I guess, and one I don't like one bit. I know that I alone won't really make a difference to the entire country, but I'd feel bad if I didn't try to change at least something. As someone who's had depression three times and played therapist for countless people before, I'm pretty passionate about wanting people to feel happier. Let's just hope I don't have to kick too many fakers out when the time comes (I dunno about other countries, but unfortunately, England has an absolute fuckton of people who think it's "cool" to have depression -_-).

I'm in love with Yamada's thong string. Also, is that a tattoo I see?

Like most people, I'm pretty much neutral or thereabouts with everything. I can't show you the picture (for some reason, Monochrome Heaven doesn't like it when I link pictures from Imgur and it doesn't have an option to upload -_-), but here are my results:

Materialism (47.7%)/Spiritualism (52.3%)

Egoism (47.9%)/Altruism (52.1%)

Idealism (52.2%)/Pragmatism (47.8%)

Hedonism (54.3%)/Asceticism (45.7%)

Nihilism (46%)/Moralism (54%)

Rationalism (41.4%)/Romanticism(58.6%)

Skepticism (60.4%)/Absolutism (39.6%)

Especially in modern vk, the bands write songs that are directly about it now, provoking more gossip.

You're right about that. I believe it's what Mousou Nikki is about (more specifically, a girl obsessed with a VK musician and believing every nuanced detail about him so as to add to her delusions), so it's no surprise that a grand total of nine bands covered it. In fact, I'm actually listening to DIV's cover as I type this, so if that ain't a coinkydink.

Without looking it up or re-watching that video, I'mma guess bunnychan is the one with the pink hair.

Last night, I dreamt that I was living at the family house again (as I always do, which is really odd, because I haven't lived there in over two years and I don't want to, either) and my mother and I were stood in the back garden. She was staring at something with her mouth agape. Like, she looked stunned. When I asked her what was up, she silently pointed to an area of the garden which looked... strange, to say the least. There was some sort of mass - at least six feet long, probably about six and a half - and it was covered in branches and cobwebs and God-knows-what-else. It took me a little while to ascertain what it was, but I eventually recognised it as a human body. I started to walk back inside, then I noticed its foot twitch, so I said "Mum, I don't think he's dead". She stayed silent and kept walking back inside with me, but I saw his head move much more noticeably, so I said, "no, Mum, I really don't think he's dead", then he got up and staggered towards me with his arms hanging in front of him like a zombie, or a gorilla, or a zombie gorilla. I then produced a knife out of absolutely bloody nowhere and stabbed him in the abdomen, which earned me a rather out-of-place cheer from my mum and my brother. Like, they just saw me stab a guy to death and their reaction was to shout "yay!".

I'm writing something at the moment, and one of the main themes is gossip and rumours. Personally, I choose to distance myself from rumour mills, but the concept of them has always fascinated me.

Now, if you've been in the J-rock community/fandom for a certain amount of time, you'll know that, regardless of whether you love or hate them, rumours are quite a large part of it. As I said before, I don't personally involve myself in the rumour side of things, mainly because I almost never believe them and because I think some of them can be... weird, so to speak. Still, I'd like to know what it is about them that interests people about them. Is it basically the opposite end of the spectrum I'm on (i.e. because people do believe them and because they don't find them weird), or is it something else?

I'm usually pretty frugal and I manage to keep a fair amount of money at all times, but in case of an emergency, I do sometimes spend a lot. For example, my laptop carked it not so long ago, so I had to buy a new, better one yesterday. It's important that I have one because I'm still in college and I need something to help me with my studies, and it'd be inconvenient to keep going to the library... at least, that's what I tell people. I mostly just play otome visual novels and go on YouTube, but shh.

I do splurge occasionally, but times like that are few and far between. I'm more of a saver than a spender.

Awesome!

But who is he? It's troubling that he's familiar. Anyone have any ideas?

He sort of reminds me of D13 from Leetspeak Monsters, but based on the guy's voice/musical style, I'm 100% certain it's not him. I just think they look vaguely similar. I dunno, mayhaps it's just me seeing that.

Better than Adolfism, but not as good as Koufuku Ron. That one set the bar quite high for me. In any case, I feel like there's something missing, but I don't quite know what it is. Maybe they just need to make their sound a bit smoother? I can't help but think it generally feels somewhat rushed.

When you add them on Line they send you this  video.

 

...Hmm.

I liked Koufuku Ron, but this was... not for me.

Whatever. Kind of irrelevant, but I like Issei's new hairstyle.

I... actually didn't mind that. I was kinda "eh" at the start, but the chorus (and the bit right before) hooked me. I'm impressed.

Jasmine You (rest in peace) was always so beautiful, imo. He could look attractive and fashionable in and out of drag.

I don't care for this at all. But why are we making it a big deal that Mia went from heavy rock to oshare/pop music? This is far from the first time a bandman has used visual kei to gather up a fan base and then abandoned it  once he has said base. It happens all the time. I know it might hurt his fans, but from here it looks like all Mejibray was for him was a way to put a firm foot in the industry while also racking up a quick and loyal(?) following. 

 

Still can't get over the awful band name though. 

People aren't upset over the fact that he's doing oshare/pop music. I think they're more upset over the fact that he's doing it to sell out, which is evident from the fact that the other band members seem to lack musical talent overall but have a lot of popularity. Hell, you said it yourself; all MEJIBRAY even was for him was a foothold. Like I said before in this thread, no matter what he does, he's selling out.
