Gesu

Say you were in an LDR (like, a REALLY long distance) and you really did care about each other. It's unlikely that you'd meet in the near future, but who knows? If you saved up enough money, you could surely go see each other. Anyways, let's say you met someone else in person and, even though you still really like the LDR, you kinda liked the other person as well. What would you do?

For me, it's difficult, because I'd never, ever, ever cheat on anyone. If I didn't want to be with someone, I would be honest and tell them, even if we'd never met in person, but it's tricky when you like two people at the same time, one of whom you're already with (albeit long-distance). There's a part of me that thinks I should probably just give up on love because a. even though I would want to stay with someone forever, I probably wouldn't stay with someone for a long time, given my current (and past) situation, and b. I actually met someone a while ago whom I loved a lot (he rejected me, but my feelings were very strong and didn't really change), and I every time I start liking someone, as awful as it may be, I can't help but think that I would probably leave them for the guy from a while ago if we ever crossed paths again.

I don't want to give up on love, but I also don't want to put myself through any more of this. I remember someone telling me some time ago that having feelings doesn't make me a bad person, even if those feelings change, and I agreed with him, but if I'm aware of how frequently they change and I don't do anything about it, doesn't that at least make me irresponsible and naive?

So, yeah. Your thoughts?

In all seriousness, though, I liked this. They sound like a cross between UNiTE and someone else, but I can't think who.

It has to be memes about him though. 

Oh, definitely. Every time Chalmers makes a criticism, Skinner (with Issei's face) just flies off the handle at him.

idol bands tend to sell better than generic mainstream rock, and chances are he hated playing heavy music in the first place, but the opportunity to do something different commercially was not there.

So no matter what he does, he's selling out. I think I've lost a lot of respect for this man. Still, there is that part of me saying "maybe not" because, love him or hate him, he is talented, so he at least put the hard work in... ahh, it's difficult. Maybe this is just one of those wait-and-see things. In my first comment in this thread (in which I'm probably getting too invested), I said I'd give 'em two years since their beginning. If it gets to May 2020 and he's still doing this, I'm giving up on MiA entirely.

Was Mejibray “super popular” though? I feel like Western VK fanbases oversell their favorites quite a bit. 

They were more popular than a lot of artists. Even if you don't like them, you've at least heard of them.

That’s not short for Japan is it? Isn’t Kyo like 5’2” or something?

5'7" for men and 5'2" for women is the average in Japan.

Anyways, short people in J-rock shouldn't really be much of a surprise anymore. I know Yuuki from Lycaon is 5'3". Hell, I'm 4'11.5" and I'm from bloody England, one of the tallest countries in the world.

By the way, does Issei still hate memes? Cuz if so, I am memeing the hell out of him. It's gotta be an old meme, like steamed hams or sth. That's still my favourite meme.

Okay, so I admit the full version sounds better. Still, it bothers me that, as people have already mentioned in this thread, the bassist is obviously fake-playing. They're all just trying to sell a hit song and be done with it. You know what I really don't get, though? Why MiA's even doing this. I mean, yeah, for the money, but... why? He already got super popular with MEJIBRAY, so I don't see how he thinks this will represent him any more positively than that or make him any richer. I know he's easy to make fun of - hell, I did it in my last comment - but he's better than this. Say what you want about his nose job and what-have-you, but he has talent and he's wasting it.

Yui from UNiTE, hands down.

Surprised no-one's said him already, tbh.

MiA to his fanbase:

Damn, they actually sound pretty good. I'll have to check out more of their stuff!

Also ngl but Iyu is pretty hot

Not half bad! Also, this is actually the first I have ever heard of this band. The first thing I know about ZON is that they are going to pass Gas, and that will always be the first thing I know about them.

Hoo, boy. I joined this site yesterday (tried to join a year back, but the CAPTCHA wasn't working, so here I am now) because, for a while, I've been kinda out-of-the-loop when it comes to VK/J-rock news. I never stopped loving it, but I had no idea what was really going on in the community and among artists... and this is the first thing I find when I come back.

I mean, if it's what MiA wants to do, fair enough. I know pretty much nowt about the other members, so I can't say anything about them, but based on what I've read in this thread, I can't help but feel like MiA's selling out a little. Ah, well. If he really is selling out as he seems to be, then this should all just blow over soon. I give 'em two years, tops.

Actually, this thread was started in May, which was five months ago. Are they still going?

Can't argue there about his look  Right? I love listening to him live because of his amazing vocals. 

 

Those are all really good song choices! I was just listening to Lost November on repeat, too. It's a sad song, but I still love it a lot. I feel the same way. Picking a definite favorite is quite difficult because lots of their songs are fantastic. Some favorites are Terrors, Dictator, Imperial Core, Lost November, Kesshou, Sirius, Taido, and many more (That wasn't a short list either ^^;) 

 

Also, I saw you listen to DIV. Have you given Chisa's new band, ACME, a shot yet?

Great song choices! I actually forgot Terrors, that's also one of my faves. How did I forget that, anyways? >.<

I have! I really like them, albeit not as much as I like  DIV. Still, I'm not complaining. They're a great band and deserve support also, as an aside, someone actually asked me what kind of music I listen to on Sunday, so I told him J-rock and he Googled it. He clicked on a pic of DIV and I may or may not have noticed and accidentally fangirled in front of him. Whoopsie!

Also, I can't give your post a like as I have reached my daily limit, but I'll be sure to do that tomorrow~

A few years ago I missed out on seeing Gackt and I still feel horrible about it. I can’t even remember why I didn’t go as I don’t recall any conditions being unfortunate for me to go. I still really, really regret it as he is likely not going to tour like that again (or even release new music at all). 

Damn, sorry to hear that. I hope you can see other artists you like in the future.

I missed out on the gazette when they did an american tour, I wasn't paying attention to vk at the time. I regret it even if I was unaware though, it doesn't seem to have gone over too well, I heard the band was unhappy with the conduct of overseas fans and as a result I guess they're unlikely to come back. Seeing them next time I visit Japan is always an option, but I'd prefer to see a smaller band/s.

I think I heard something about them having to cancel lives because of fans being too rowdy. It happens a lot in the VK/J-rock fandom, for some reason. I remember reading about Yo-ka from DIAURA having to tell his fans to at least act like civilised adults if they weren't going to get along.

Do you see bands in Japan a lot? I'd love to go someday, but I've never left England.

18 minutes ago, monkeybanana4 said:

Same here. I've been listening to lots of Diaura lately. They create some phenomenal music and Yo-ka's voice is wonderful to listen to. Do you have any favorite songs/albums by them?

I love Yo-ka's voice and face! It's so powerful. Anyways, I love My Resistance and have recently got out of a loop of listening to Criminal Beast on repeat for about three or four days. That happens sometimes. I also really like Dogma, Kairi, Kyoukaisen, Lost November, Sakura Sacrament (why did I alphabetise them o.O), etc... I can't really pick a favourite, but those are definitely up there.

You?

Hello! Welcome to MH! If you have any questions, just ask around 

By the way, great band choices! Diaura's latest songs sound amazing ^^

Thank you~! And ikr? I always get addicted to DIAURA when I find new songs from them. I go on band binges a lot, but it seems to happen most frequently with DIAURA.

I missed seeing andymori on one of the early Next Music from Tokyo tours. Was too close to another event to convince my friends to go with me, and I was too shy to go to the concert on my own. Plus I didn't really know their music that well and I was a bit nervous since I'd never been to an event like that.

 

A year or two later I ended up really falling in love with them, and they disbanded not too long after, so I still regret it a bit.

That's always the way, isn't it? They always gotta disband. I'm gonna try to see as many J-rock artists as I can if they're in England because they don't come here often and they always disband so early. I get that they always have their reasons for doing so, but it's still sad. I was heartbroken when DIV disbanded.

Anyways, I hope you can go to some more concerts in the future.

When I was really young I missed out on seeing Miyavi because I wasn't old enough to go. Pretty sure I cried about it and cursed the world for having age restrictions, but since then he's been back here about 10 times and I no longer have interest in his music lol.

 

More recently, I finally bought tickets to see Kero Kero Bonito locally (they tour rarely and it's always in London), but then I had surgery out of the blue and had to miss out on them since it was a shitty venue with nowhere to sit. Maybe one day.

Damn, that sucks! I hope you get to see them some day.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here. Don't be afraid to message me~! I'm pretty new here meself, so I can't tell you much about how this site works (am still figuring things out), but we can always chat.

Hajime Saitou from Hakuouki! Noice.

I can't upload a screenshot directly from my iPod (yes, I have an iPod 4th gen because my actual phone is an Alcatel brick), but I can upload the picture I use.

Gotta love Yo-ka.

I was gonna go see the esteemed Kamijo in London last month, but I fell out with the person I was gonna go with and, given my terrible sense of direction and the high crime rate, I didn't fancy wandering the streets of London at 7pm on my own, so I didn't go. I was really upset and told a couple of my relatives about it, and they told me everyone misses out on a concert opportunity at some point or another and I shouldn't be too downhearted. I think it'd be interesting to hear about any opportunities you might have missed out on.

Yo, I go by Gesu (not in everyday life). I'd like to make some friends here, because why not, eh? I did try to create an account about a year ago, but for some reason, the CAPTCHA wouldn't work... but I'm here now, so yay~! Anyways, I like DELUHI, DIAURA, DIV, Lycaon, Versailles, etc, etc. I'm not interested in Tanuki or any other stupid unfounded rumours that have arisen because someone on Twitter said so (however, if there's something that's actually been proven true, I might be interested), so miss me with that. Anyways... I suck at introductions. Toodlepip for now~!
