Nighttime Jae

There's always a lot of talk of kusomen, bandomen doing questionable things behind the scenes and just being crap human beings in general. How about talking about bandomen that are actually decent, normal people that restore our faith in the scene?
 
I'll start (no surprise) with the CLACK inc.'s guys. Some of these guys have been around for about 10 years, and not a single bad rumor concerning them (trust me I dug deep into Tanuki and other than the the occasional baseless rumor, there really is nothing).
 
What are some others artists that you deem as quality human beings?

Imo it's unfair to the Japanese to clump them with the demented minds of bangyas.

Yah Devil Kitty is "yakuza band" 
Just dealt with their old bassist and that dude is crazyyyy. 
 
There are too many sketchy vk band men, I had lots of seniors tell me to get mitsu and such but once your image is set in that there is no going back. 
 
The dudes in Nocturnal Bloodlust are some a$$hats for sure. Stealing band account money and then saying it was staff was not cool. Even if you choose to be a manwhore. Dont F over bandmates. . . Have heard that from too many mutual associates for that to be a rumor. 
 
Know so many lame people who ask for line account from girls so quick. Even some guy who borrowed money from a costume designer and did not pay back🤔
 

Yess, I think generally only fans will really think this is ok. Even if you think it is ok, to post this on your artist account shows complete lack of sense. Not supporting them anymore, if ever see a member of them again going to ask about this too haha. Vk is just uggggh sometimes🙀💦

According to the girl, she had sex with Yoshiatsu and he took off the condom mid-fuck. Girl gets pregnant, tells him she's planning to get an abortion and asks him to pay for it and Yoshiatsu, being the gentleman that he is, ghosts her. Then the girl has to ask a male friend to come with her getting the abortion because apparently women in Japan can't go through an abortion alone, the supposed "baby daddy" has to be there too to consent. Here you can find the screenshots of the convo.
 
 

what do u guys think asanao is doing right now
 
as for me i think he is probably enjoying a hot dog (extra onions)

Tell that to Yuu (ex-Zodia and a bunch of other bands) and his master's degree in mechanical engineering. The whole "high school dropouts that live off their mitsus" stereotype is so outdated. Most indies in this day and age have an education and have day jobs to support themselves, otherwise with what they're making they'd be begging on the streets.
 
You guys really can't help yourselves from being judgemental and sassy for no reason huh?
 
Of course everyone is free to do whatever, uploading and downloading definitely won't stop, but I just wanted to reflect on how this affects the scene, especially for the western fanbase.
 
This may be beating a dead horse for your, but I haven't seen a topic for discussing this, so might as well hearing everyone's opinion in just one place.

I guess I should do an intro huh lol 
 
I'm Reida and I've been a fan of VK for awhile now. My #1 favorite band is the GazettE but I also follow RANDS and another band. I got into VK thanks to MUCC and D'espairsRay and have been going downhill ever since. I go to lives whenever possible and I make GazettE furi videos lmao I don't follow much new VK anymore. I just stick to 2-3 bands since a lot of newer bands (besides RANDS) don't really catch my interest anymore, plus, money.
 
Idk what else to say. I've known about this place for a long time, but never joined until now so that I could offer a shopping service for overseas 蘭図 (RANDS) fans. I'm really only active on Twitter and Instagram now a days.... and not using my typical username lol

Ever considered that maybe not every bandoman is a high school dropout without a real job on the side? Just saying.
 
 
How would it be hypocritical? I am talking exclusively about digital releases, I straight up said I condone it when it comes to physical releases?

This time I share with you an interview of a vocalist of a band who was popular end 80's early 90's, played in bigger halls than now.
The band official restated again in 2018 and also this year they planned a ONEMAN tour in small live halls (200-300 capacity), we still pray that the tour won't be canceled due the CORONA virus.
 
Their old music can be found on itunes and spotify.  
 
Also for THE MINKS
You never too old, never give up your dreams!
 
It's an interview which let you smile and laugh (^o^)

Nicolas is having a livestream now

Tomorrow is Clack inc.'s live stream. They're gonna start at 4 PM JST and possibly go on all night since they're planning to drink 100 drinks in order to cover for the livehouse expenses😂Watch bandomen getting shitfaced (LIVE!!!)

From my experience it's more like bringing news, shitting on indie newcomers, sass each other out and downloading stuff, so...

If you can easily get the music in a legal way, then I don't really see the point of downloading it illegally. It will only hurt the musicians. 

Digital releases no. 
 
I decided since last year to dont share nothing when comes available on iTunes worldwide. in case of Plastic tree new album, was available to all world. 
 
Cmon today u can buy a gift card online by itunes japan or other type and pre order or buy it. 
 
Ex: The new album of pura cost $8.99... REALLY GUYS, is it expensive to buy it ? 

They surely have some reasons and you can guess one of those reasons. 
 
 
Well if you buy second-hand because you cannot buy an original copy anymore it does no harm. And we also know that buying from Japan still can cost more than buying it from someone second handed, but that doesn't mean that everyone wouldn't download a release a all on the legal way. But yes, if you never would have supported a band by buying a CD and actually not willing to buy a release digitally then it's hypocritical.
