It's to rub it into the company's face that they're leaving. Account deletion is more noticeable than not logging in anymore.

I have a thread of messages from someone I don't know (it was sent to someone else):

When I click that I get a 404 - Page Not Found error.

Maybe this website should get their own copy of last.fm focused on Asian artists? What last.fm did was shitting all over themselves, I can't even look at that site now... but the database of small vkei bands was very useful. I found a script that downloads your last.fm scrobbles when you want to move them somewhere else, but I didn't try it, so I don't know if it works... It would be nice to have an alternative site, with better tags and no need to use unicode.

I'm always that girl who likes someone and gets rejected... but I think it's better to tell, instead of being constantly worried. Just don't shoot big words such as "I love you", maybe "I like you more than a friend" would be less overwhelming for a girl at first, in my opinion. Of course, you have to keep it in mind the friendship may be ruined in case she doesn't like you this way, so be aware of it and decide what's better for you. It's difficult to tell if she likes you from her reaction, because every girl is different, I would feel extremely uncomfortable if a male friend touched me in general, even if the touch was just friendly (only a handshake is ok for me), but it doesn't mean every girl is the same.

Why do I think it's better to tell her, though? If she likes you too, it's great. If she doesn't, you will know you shouldn't waste your time with it anymore, and give yourself a chance with someone else (you may not want to imagine this right now, but yes, you may like someone else, too). Also, it's better to know where are you standing and if the person is worth being made your priority.

Well, my Scorpio friend is great, but sometimes she gives me a really hard time, I also have trust issues, so put it all together. When someone is secretive I have a whole set of ideas about what they may be like.

I agree with you about the honesty, unless someone is not a close friend and they're an ass and lies would profit me, but not harm them (like lying to a boss at work), then why not.

Well, I can't deny I'm still fascinated with Scorpios (all that sex appeal and mystery, they are also super kind), but they can be pissy and bitchy just for calling them out on something, or asking them to stop doing something that makes me upset... and it wasn't just my friend, I happened to get the kind of attitude like "I will start a war with you" just because I told one teenager she was an attention whore. Logic???? None. I usually don't care when someone tells me such things... unless I said something very personal, or they're a good friend. Scorpios want honesty, but they attack back when they get it.

Of course I don't mean every person is the same, I approach people no matter what their zodiac sign is... I'm just discussing it to hear if I'm right with my opinions. I may be not, and that's okay.

These bands don't even promote themselves to the foreign audiences, only to the domestic buyers. I'll use kpop as an example, because my friend listens to it and buys CDs. She says they're often cheaper than Japanese CDs, but they also include super nice boxes, and whole books (yes, huge books!) with the band photos. Even if the music ends up online, people just want to have the CD for the booklet and the extras. It isn't that expensive to print it. Vkei bands make money on photosets, yes... but why not take some extra, nice photos during the same photoshoot that will go to a nice booklet? If photosets are different than the booklet, people will buy them anyway... I see all that complaining as a marketing failure.

I'm not super pro- and super against posting music online, just somewhere in between. I can't always buy music, I can't have all CDs, that Mejibray's "Eiki" single I bought was a huge treat for me and I won't lie: I bought it because CD Japan was giving an autographed poster with it... and I love this red look of Tsuzuku, so I wanted to have it. I can't buy every CD they release, because I can't afford it, so I download. If I could buy it, I would. I'm against the kind of mindset that spending money on CDs is a waste of money, they deserve it for their work, but... the fan needs to be convinced to buy. Most CDs of visual kei bands are poorly released, there's just a booklet with lyrics, in a plastic box.

I'm still friends with my Scorpio friend, but I'm keeping a distance she doesn't know about. In order to be able to still talk to her and be as friendly as usual, I had to become more selfish. She's really fun, but her bad treats hurt me too much last time. Do all scorpios always blame other people for everything they do, and say they didn't do anything wrong?

Fire signs are the best, others tend to be difficult. I think I'll drop my positive opinion about Scorpios, as well. They're horrible.

Sagittarius temper? Are you really sure it's that good? I can confirm it's not, we are stubborn and blunt as fuck. It comes from my own mind and experience with other Sagittarians. It's all fun as long as we don't care, but when something bothers a Sagittarius they make a hell on Earth.

9 Quality Time

I miss NEGA and UnsraW the most.

I was really bored and clicked the link on the main page leading to this topic. I mean really bored, because I usually don't read reviews, people's opinions don't matter to me at all.

Honestly, it made me surprised how much people here hate this single, because while I was "meh" about Echo and Nepenthes, I'm in love with Eiki. The PV song is a mix of something sensual, and emotional singing. Maybe his screams sound bad to people here, but I think it's just emotions. The other two songs are moody for me, I can close my eyes and listen to them falling into a depressive mood. It's the same effect NEGA's music has on me. This single is just different, but I like what came out of it.

MEJIBRAY, they're my favorite band and they still make good music. I love the new release.

Even if I agree that school shouldn't exist in its current form anymore, it's not because bullying happens there. It also happens at work, at home, just anywhere, so you can't really avoid it, ishiki. It's in the human nature to be an asshole, so better be prepared people will hurt you many, many times... they really will. No one can be trusted, but if someone's nice, just be prepared they may turn away from you one day. I enjoy the company of my online friends, but I'm prepared for being hurt. It's tough, but with the right attitude it goes away. Even if they aren't bullies, people are still awful, you can't change it. You can only change how you deal with it inside of your head.

The ignorance around the whole issue is simply a fact. It doesn't mean the victim has to be quiet about it, no... I avoided some nasty situations (such as being accused of stuff, which was of course a lie) just because I wasn't afraid to speak about it, but it's just in my nature, also why would I hide anything, if it's not my fault? I only said that it doesn't solve anything, because even most teachers don't care... and even they can be bullied by students. I saw it a few times that the class made a teacher cry when they were too nice and couldn't handle all kids. The older I am, the more I understand. Adults are just big kids who have to play mature, because the society tells them to do so. Sometimes they may be helpful, but most of the time they don't do anything. Why? They may not care, or simply don't know how to fix the situation, or they're just assholes.

Telling someone doesn't solve anything. I've always been open about being bullied, but even if someone actually did something, the kids didn't give a fuck. Most of the time I heard it's just a phase and that if they bully me, there's probably something wrong about me. Yes, adults told me this kind of crap. I wonder if they were bullies in their school times...

I can relate to many things you wrote, ishiki. I just stopped being social due to bad experience with people, I simply don't know how to make friends anymore.

My mom doesn't care, my interests are my business. There was no fitting answer, so I picked the last one, because it was the closest to it.

Their guitarist looks funny, like a nazi soldier who was interrupted while sitting on the toilet, so he got up and hasn't pulled up his pants, yet.

Depends if shes a submissive type. I know a few that actually get off on pleasing their partners, I admit i can be a bit of a bully, but someone needs to take the wheel for this kind of relationship but deep inside my heart is made of marshmellows and im as cuddly as a baby koala.

Nothing is an excuse for saying offensive crap about a girl you date/would date. Just because she's submissive, it doesn't mean she doesn't deserve any respect. Don't call verbal abuse like that.

Kiryu where? They rather look like slutty versions of Kaya.

I love the covers with Tsuzuku on them, I already ordered the type A, so I'll have that nice cover

I'm rarely attracted into guys, but there is that one guy who's nicely dressed and he has his hair nicely done (not in a way that would even look gay, he also acts like a normal dude), so I thought he was attractive... then it turned out he's gay. So, if someone in my country looks like they went out of the trash can, or they wear boring clothes - they are more likely straight. My gaydar found that exact guy who's gay and told me he's attractive, without me knowing it.

Anyway, I would rather go after girls. They usually dress much better than an average dude, because it's not considered 'gay' when they do it.

Their "muddy cult" PV got my attention when it was released (I love bloody stuff), I also fell in love with the song. At that time I was also quite depressed, so listening to their music in the bus made me feel like I was in a different emotional reality, because the music is so gloomy. I loved their dark and brutal image, it was something I needed in visual kei, because so many bands chose the safe route of not adding anything shocking to their work. Jin's voice isn't that bad, because it's not edited to make it sound better, he sings exactly the same in reality, he didn't disappoint me (also, he's very charismatic on stage!). There are many vocalists who sound great on the studio recordings, but like crap on the lives. I would rather get the real thing. He may not be perfect, but I just like his voice, it's unique among all these vk dudes who sing in a very high tone and sound similar to each other.

I'm a night owl, I always think that there should be more places open at night, so people like us would work at that time comfortably, also people who work during the day could come there and do their business, because everything is open when they're at work, usually. I'd love to work at night, really! I have the most energy at that time, during the day I feel sleepy and stressed.
