ambivalentideal

Hi guys!
 
So I finally decided making an introduction topic here... I'm not good with this but, let's go:
You guys can call me Aoi, I'm a eternal 24 years old veteran fan VK. As you can tell I like The Gazette, and Jiluka, Kiryu, NoGod and I'm into Nokubura these days too!
 
I started a variety youtube channel specialized in VK with a friend this year. You can check it out here.
The name is VK Onee san.
(Our inicial idea is creating a bilingual channel, but until now the videos are only in english ^^')
 
Also we have accounts on Twitter/Instagram: @vkoneesan, please follow us^^

DIMLIM's Gt. Ryuya & Ba. Taishi willl depart after their oneman live on August 17, 2019 at TSUTAYA O-WEST.
 
The band will continue activities with the remaining 3 members.
 
 

I know this thread was dead before but just to add on...I've never taught English in Japan before, but I have friends who do or have. From my understanding if you really want to do it, go through JET. And do NOT work for an eikaiwa. You will not have a good time. And from the rest of the replies here I'm seeing the same thing. 😕 If you really want to go to Japan and don't want to teach, my advice is to study abroad. It only lasts a year but it can be a really great experience! I studied abroad in Kyoto for a year and absolutely loved it.

I actually have 0 clue how long it's been waiting for me in my mailbox lmao

Thanks for sharing my upload!
If I see this video doesn't get into trouble the next few days, I'll upload the full live!

are they charging that muchmoney  for the blu-ray so they can afford an actual graphic designer for the cover art  next time they'll do the Retirement Home  Malice Mizer reunion?

I saw kisaki at a grade school in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how bad it was to meet him in person, and that he should probably leave or i’m gonna call the cops. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “yes, hello, police?  i would like to report a strange pedo at a grade school,” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my 911 call, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When the cops came to arrest him for being a child diddler, I saw him trying to walk away with like fifteen 2nd graders following behind him.
The cop that came out was very professional, and was like “Sir, you’re going to prison.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the school.
When the cop was handcuffing him, he radioed for backup to come take the kids back to class.  kisaki stopped him and told her to take them each individually “to prevent any pedo infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After he was cuffed, the cop started to read him his rights, but he kept interrupting him by yawning really loudly.

KISAKI is gay is the most discussed in the media in the few years ago. Even it has happened in 2012, but some of the public still curious about what is exactly happening and to be the reason there is a rumor comes out about his gay. At that time he became the massive social networking rumor. The public, especially his fans are shocked. He just came out with his bad rumor which is spread massively. This time is not about his music career, but his bad rumor. The rumor is out of standardize of hoax, according the last reported this musicer revealed himself as homosexual. Do you still believe or not, this rumor is really much talked by people even in a person of his fans.

It's alright! I know, I was worried they'd break up after that happened too, but I'm glad they managed to get through it. I haven't heard of that! I didn't know they made a side project. :0 What is it like?
 
Oh, nice! That's cool though, I feel like taiban could be really cool because you get to see the band you like more up close and check out other bands you don't know from the safety of the back lol. I'd like to try going to one. Thanks, hopefully so! Lol I don't mind uploading them! Here you go: https://imgur.com/a/t5ZpBSA Last one is my awkward pic with them lmfao, I'm a guy with a beard now but that was me then,,,
 
I really do like Ikuma's voice ;-; I'm sure I can find ONE of their songs I like haha. Maybe so. Agreed! I just received physical copies of AGENT FILE and their 1st album -&- which I am super super pleased about!! I noticed in the credits area of AGENT FILE they actually listed all members of the GazettE under "special thanks" lol. At least they were up front about their obvious inspiration, but I don't think it was to the point of them copying them or anything. I think AND's music was a mix of early GazettE and their own sound and the result was pretty cool!

Oh, sorry! I completely misunderstood what you meant! Yeah, I remember that terrible, unfortunate accident. I was so afraid they were going to break up. It was good to hear when they came back though. Haha, I have that album as well. It's one of my favorites by them with many great songs on it. Also, slightly off-topic, but have you heard of the side project(?), Lill, that Tomo and Rui (vistlip) have formed?
 
 
I did attend some VK lives a long time ago (makes me feel old when I say that o_o;) I never saw BORN's one-man live, but I did manage to somehow always catch them when they played lives with other bands (taiban). Oh, darn. Hopefully, you'll be able to attend lives in Japan when you go back next time. It's certainly a different experience. Yeah, the gya culture can be a bit scary. I just avoid it as best as I can and enjoy the music/live. For some reason, I'm not surprised Kifumi might have been the one to stage dive because of his enthusiasm overall. Terrible pictures capture the best moments, lol, right? If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to see it anyways XD Seeing a piece of VK history is always great. 
Yeah, one of the main reasons I listen to REIGN is because of Ikuma's voice. Perhaps this is the kind of music he likes to make? (Oh, no don't die D:) At least AND's music will still be there for us to listen to.

Now that I'm older myself (aka not a teenager) I just find older men attractive in general. Like I just genuinely like a sexy dilf lmfao but even back when I was younger and thought someone in his 30s was old, I've always been oddly attracted to Hakuei. I know he's old af but damn. I don't know. He's just really hot to me.  Oh and for another vk man who is old af but has never looked his age is Arimura Ryuutaro. Even in pics where he has very little makeup. It always blew me away how young looking he was. I've always found him to be really beautiful.

wow, very interesting! Just listened to the lyric video posted above, and I think you can definitely tell it's a song by him. It has a bit of An Cafe flavor to it. I actually really liked the song. It's cute and his voice is not bad. He was always my favorite in An Cafe so glad to see he's doing stuff again. 

I saw Plastic Tree in April and he has aged quite a bit since I saw them in 2013. He definitely looks like he's in his 40s irl, but he still looks good, just not young.
 
Some people just age better than others and everyone finds different things attractive.
imo Atsushi Sakurai still looks good at 53.

Band members I'd like to fight:
Mana, Kamijo, Issei, Maria cross, Yoshiki, All of Gosan , R-shite's vocalist, Jojo , Mia. 
 
I could probably win against:
Maria cross
 
I think there's a lot of underestimating for the shorter guys going on here though. Being short doesn't mean they're weak. You have to take muscle mass and any kind of self defense skills they might have into consideration. I mean, unless you're a much bigger guy, I don't think Kyo would be easy to fight. And even Yomi from Nightmare had an era where he looked fit af. 

Have you never looked at an actor and thought he looks way better now that he's older? For example, Leo DiCaprio was a pretty generic looking dude as a teen, now that's he's in his 40s and his looks have matured, I dunno, I think he's a lot more handsome. 
I don't have a particular attraction for older men, but some people just grow into their looks over the years. I think Uruha is aging like fine wine, and yeah at some point they need to take it easy with the make up because there's no point in trying to hide anything.
 
There's something attractive about someone who confidently embraces their age. 

Sorry for the super late response (I wasn't able to get near a computer ;w;)
 
Haha, my family still mistakes VK guys as girls even though they're missing some obvious features ^^; 
 
Vistlip did take a bit of a break since I think the vocalist, Tomo, had some health issues and couldn't sing, but apparently they're back. Yeah, it's always nice to see bands together even after 10+ years since it seems there are many bands who disband at the 10 year mark  It's happened to a lot of bands I liked, but hopefully it won't happen to vistlip. I wouldn't expect anything less from BORN especially from their early days, haha. They had a lot of energy when they played live, which makes me think perhaps they're more of a 'live' band than a 'recording studio' band xD Yup, I did manage to see them live although Kifumi already left the band by then, so I sadly never saw him play his awesome bass. Lol, that's pretty cool you got to take a picture with Ryoga (despite the cringeness of the photo). Haha, I look at the photos I took with VK artist and think, why did I look like that? XD It seems like Ryoga gets really excited and pumped when performing lives and meeting fans, lol.
 
Agree! They were pretty underrated although I guess maybe it could be that people considered them knock-offs Gazette? Well, I love Ikuma's and the instrumentals voice in any case. Yesss, that is such a good song! I haven't listened to them in a while, and forgot how awesome it is, haha. I have a hard time choosing which song I like from them. I'll just stick a few of their songs underneath the spoiler:
 
 
Same here,. I remember being pretty much solely dedicated to VK, even dropping any other hobbies I had at the time XD Yeah, Reign's sound is different from AND ;w; I've only recently started listening to REIGN so I'm not familiar with the whole discography yet. I started off listening to their first full album, 666. Although, as you've already said, it's not quite the same as AND's sound. It's something else all together, lol. Not sure if I completely like them yet, but Ikuma's voice is still as strong as ever. As of now, I really like these songs: 
 
 
No problem  I get super exciting talking about VK with others, so thank you!
