    Joel reacted to Enki in DIMLIM - MISC. [Discussion Thread]   
    Rijin is one of my favourite releases ever but this killed my vibe, I think retsu is a lost cause and sho should leave for better projects

    Joel reacted to BrenGun in DIMLIM new album, "MISC." release   
    I also will react to this topic.
     
    I've listened to more songs on their youtube.. and all their previous songs are just  bad, shit visual kei music.. not even amazing rock quality, just typical boring visual kei, with no heart with no feelings just.... no.
     
     
    but the new song...
    The beat, the melody, the kinda vocal sound...
    It all mix nicely together as a perfect mix.... it really though your heart.
    Truly 10/10 song.
    And believe me it is. 
     
    Lately I only listen to masterclass rock music. music who is played by bandguys who are longer in the music world as those young dudes. music of people who know what music is.  I follow lot's of "legend Japanese rock stars (which most of you never did hear off tho lol)"  
    So because of that I became very picky of what GOOD music is. 
     
     
    However, I call this song really a master piece. it's a perfect song, easy to like, it touch your heart.
    vocal fits perfectly to the melody....
     
     
    But by listening to their previous songs,, I kinda doubt their their album will only contain this masterclass songs. 
     
     
    If they will release more music like this... then I surely will support them.
    I'm looking for this kind of visual kei bands, who really put everything into music.
     
     
    if you dislike this kind of sound,
    well then. you really don't have a good taste for music.

    It's fine.
     
    Dimlim have beepbooping and doing weird time signatures//structures for a while now so I don't get the complaints. It's what they do. There's a method to their chaotic songwriting imo, it doesn't sound incoherent.

    I agree ! Nobody care about their past bands, who were very small (instead of Tokami maybe)
     
    I don't really like the song. MISAKI sounds weak. and it sounds like a Starwave band

    Joel reacted to nick in How to make Visual Kei popular again?   
    this may be off topic but this topic reminds me of what i always wanted to say about mh.
     
    idk what we overseas fans can do to make vk more popular than what it is, but one thing i think doable is to make mh become more popular.
    vk may be dead one day but mh should live on after that. personally i always see mh as a very underrated japanese music forum that has high potential to grow bigger.
     
    if the stats on similarweb aren't lying, it's very impressive that we have around 1.3m page views monthly (from 200k total visits * 6.6 page views per a visit). what i mean is mh already has a huge user base in hands but the engagements of the content on the forum are a lot less compared to it. for example, we have very few concurrent registered users online as you can see from the image below. it's only ~20 members online. (700 guests are mostly crawlers i believe). i know that it's taken at a random time of a day but usually it's still not significantly more than this either considering we have over 9.6k members registered. additionally, we can have more followers on facebook and twitter from our daily visitors if we want to. (it hurts to see that mh which is the source of almost everything japanese rock related has far less likes than random j-rock pages on facebook even demon android's one.)
     

     
    moreover, traditional forum software like IPB is kinda 2000-ish, but i'm just saying. i have nothing against it. IPB is not bad though. it regularly gets updates and bug fixes. but nowadays there are a number of better open source alternatives as well; e.g. discourse and nodebb. converting the database from one to another is such a pain though if we ever do it.
     
    sysops are one of the most important roles that almost nobody notices the effort they put behind the scenes. we have had only 3-4 sysops since the inception of mh and now there is only one left. it's a vital position that needs to recruit too. what'd we do if they're all gone? it'd even mean the end of mh. (not sure about how recruiting a new sysop is going, but it seems difficult to get one to begin with.)
     
    at the end of the day, staff are all volunteers. finding a suitable staff member who is willing to spend their free time is hard already but finding one who is dedicated to the community is even harder. one day the current staff members will be rotated as well. so we're not going anywhere if we don't expand the user base. we can find more talented people from a bigger one.
     
    this is my two cents:
     
    it's time for mh 4.0. sooner or later mh has  to change too. otherwise, the community will be gone if we don't do something beforehand. if i were the founder, i'd rebrand "monochrome-heaven" to something else shorter, easier to type and pronounce, and easy to remember esp for non-english natives. having a dash (-) in a domain name looks unprofessional for a brand imo. just like when "thefacebook.com" becoming "facebook.com". the former is not a professional brand name compared to the latter. they bought it once they had the money to afford it and became the "facebook" we know nowadays.
     
    rebranding mh may be too much for those who're familiar with the name but it'd be a big step to be known better. by rebranding i mean changing the look of the forum too whether it be a new skin or even new forum software that's more modern. we can still stick with vk just like before and be more open to the general japanese rock scene which is more lively and has a wider fanbase like ruling it all online not only on here but also on other social networks.
     
    yeah, i know that it's easier said than done. it takes a lot of effort and is very challenging to accomplish, but knowing the potential mh has not being used is wasting as well.
