I also live in Poland and working for 10 days would be enough to buy a few CDs with a separate shipping, so you have to work part time if you say it's 10 days... the lowest legal pay is 1181,38pln (approx. $400), so working for 10 days full time is 590pln (approx. $200). Where do you buy expensive CDs like that???

Also, where did you get the cheap internet from? XDDD The cheapest one costs 50pln and that's not cheap at all...

But I agree about the salary, it's often NOT enough to pay your bills, actually :/. Juka, it wouldn't work to protest about this, because the government gives no fucks about people in my country. We could protest all we want and they would just say some bullshit on tv to keep their ugly asses safe, while in fact they would totally ignore the problem. Like ACTA, there were huge protests against it, but what did they do? They signed it.

From my own experience, it's better to keep bad feelings for yourself. No one cares. That's the truth. I try to not bother anyone with my shit, unless I really can't control myself... but usually, I just distance myself, until I get better.

About the suicide thing, I agree with the person above. If she wants to talk, she will. Just show her you're here for her.

It sucks, because they were good :/.

If they can see my emoticon spams and stupid jokes I send to my friend, then go ahead. That's what I usually do, lmao.

Well then, it's the same tanuki shit, anyway.

Stop reading shit on tanuki. The admin of that tumblr loves trolling meji fans (I understand her why she does it, really) and translates that stuff on purpose xD

Good things: visual kei, poop toys and accessories, interesting traditional culture, good bdsm porn, many hot guys, people have many interesting ideas for their business (like cat and owl cafes), and things to sell (like poop toys, I mentioned before, square watermelons or bras for men, this is just funny, no other nation has such awkward ideas and this is great xD).

It sounds good, why are they time limited? Many worse bands are regular bands.

Wataru has a nice butt. Someone buy this calendar for me

Do they pay that money to the user? I don't think so, lol

It's heavier than I expected (they look like one of these bands that abuse auto tune mixed with crappy pop), but the dude sings a bit out of tune xD

I would say that is not just about visual kei stuff, just when it comes to cultural stuff (i guess with anime, manga and related stuff) is like they dont care about the rest of the world. For example, many dvds of movies are released without any kind of subtitles or if they have subtitle just the japanese ones, while on the other hand you have the korean example that subtitle almost every single movie, even the collections of movies from the 50-60 they release ,had subtitles. Seems like it doesn't matter to then not sell a single cd, dvd etc. outside of Japan, For the rest, I kind of agree in everything.

I only used visual kei as an example, because I'm familiar with how it works. I'm not interested in manga and anime, I only like boys love visual novel games, but not many are translated into English indeed o_o. I remember I had to install some patches with unofficial translations to play some of these. I also heard of this recently: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/07/28/japanese-government-to-start-anti-animemanga-piracy-operation-next-month. I'm pretty sure everything on that new site will be in Japanese, so not many people would buy it, because they wouldn't understand it. The first comment to the news is just a bonus XD. That's exactly what I'm talking about... demanding from people to buy, but not offering a decent alternative, easily available for everyone.

I can't wait for this one, I hope it will be similar to NEGA. Samples pls ^^

I have online friends, but they always come and go. I think it isn't possible to find the true friends online. I have one real life friend and I feel much closer to her, because we don't only communicate through a messenger. Meeting her is important for me, because we can relax and chat, have some fun. Staying at home isn't good and friends give you the reason to go out. You choose people you want to spend your time with. Sometimes they may be more important, than your family. If I had a choice to save my friend, or a member of my family, I'd save my friend without hesitation.

Tetora, use Chrome, highlight it and use one of the functions to open the link in another tab.

Like everyone else said, such people exist everywhere. I remember hearing about a man volunteering to be eaten by someone else and they ate the man's penis together, or something like that xD. I think it was in Europe, but I don't remember where XD.

I was going to mention exactly the same thing as the person above, because I heard about it as well. It's not good to neglect such people, because they may just take meds and be valuable members of the society. Many of them are just normal people, but with an illness (the ones with depression and personality disorders, some people with schizophrenia).

Another thing I thought of, is the drinking culture. I heard that it's common to get drunk after work with co-workers. I'm very anti alcohol abuse, so this is something I really dislike. Basically, it's acceptable in my country to get drunk only on the weekends. When someone has a job and drinks too much on the weekdays, it's rather being frowned at. There are people who do this, but it isn't acceptable and they do it for their own responsibility (they may get fired easily for this). When you go to work hungover, it's a bad thing. If you drink anything during weekdays, you're supposed to control yourself and not drink too much. That's why I don't like what I heard about drinking culture in Japan. To the ones interested in the topic, I found something about it: http://thisjapaneselife.org/2012/05/09/on-drinking-too-much-in-japan/

I also dislike the way the visual kei music market works in Japan. This may not affect people inside of Japan, because they have everything easily available, but rather foreigners. The visual kei music market is very closed, many bands sell their CDs and merchandise exclusively to people who come to their lives, or only in shops that don't ship overseas (which increases the downloads as well). I saw many small bands in Europe/US selling their CDs both in their country and abroad. They welcome fans from all over the world with their arms widely open and don't have a problem with shipping their CDs to another country, but Japanese bands aren't that welcoming. They're focused only on Japanese people (I've never seen the official band's webshop sending their stuff abroad, people have to use shopping service and that costs even more, than buying just the CDs, whose prices are already high for foreign people) and sometimes I feel like I'm the worse kind of a fan. My taste in music and heart tells me to stay, but logic tells me to go away, because I'm not in Japan, so I don't matter. Japan tends to be sheltered, like you already said, clear. It's difficult to understand.

OMG, the previews are AMAZING. I hope I'll have a chance to hear the whole album ^^

I don't follow Lycaon that closely anymore, did they stop doing fanservice? They did that a lot in the past, it was also fun. I stopped following them, because they kept releasing too much live distributed stuff and it annoyed me.

A band I personally do not understand the hype for is Royz. They sound just like any other bland group of young boys forming a band just because they happen to have an image.

I like just some songs of them, but these guys are great at promoting themselves. I think I'm more a fan of the funny stuff they do and their hilarious videos XD. They often post photos online and other interesting stuff, so I just keep being interested in their public image, I think. It never makes me bored. I don't like it when the band does nothing interesting online, because as a foreign fan, I can only get to know the band this way. I feel like I get closer to the members when they show their funny and "every day" side in vids (they did many things common guys would do, like playing some games on a beach or eating some very spicy stuff and filming themselves during that xD).

"We've finally found a way to bring Hide back from the dead!"

"Hide has never died. He lives!"

lol, how does that make them "dumb fangirls"? if you like them for the music, good for you, people can always like them for other reasons. imo there isn't a universally "correct" way to like a band. ironically if it weren't for these so-called "dumb fangirls" who pay to attend events and buy merchandise, MEJIBRAY prolly won't be around anymore today to make music for the armchair connoisseurs.

They're really dumb and extremely annoying. You aren't a part of the fanbase, so how can you know? Also, I know any extra money is good for the band, but it doesn't mean I have to tolerate such annoying people. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Capitain Obvious.

MEJIBRAY has a decent following from the beginning because VanessA had been somewhat established and a Genki/Tsuzuku already had an army of fangirls, from what I remember. 

I think you're talking about Japanese fans, because I totally can't compare it to the foreign fanbase. I met just a few VanessA fans and no fangirls at all.

MEJIBRAY is my favorite band, but I also don't understand that hype... I'm one of the older fans of them. They caught my interest, because Tsuzuku has the same birthday as me, then I waited for them to release some music, so I became a fan. They weren't known at that time and I had to send their music to people. It made me happy when they liked it ^^. At some point, the band suddenly became popular and I don't understand why... maybe because of their fanservice stuff? But there are bands that do more, so I have no idea. I hate most of these new fans, because they mostly drool at their appearance and I think they lost their brains on their way... dumb fangirls.

@DeithX252: Babymetal is so much crap XD. I listened to that once and never again. I don't get the hype either, they're like blasphemy to heavier music.

clear, thank you for explaining, I've always been curious about it and now it makes sense to me. It's good such things exist, so people can have some fun at least.

clear, there are girls who are really into Asian men, just look at the visual kei fans. Look at tumblr. People often reblog photos, just because there's an Asian person on them XD. Just because someone on the internet says something, it doesn't mean it's true. You just have to find the right group of people. I know girls who get attracted to the type of men I wouldn't even look at, many girls, they like manly, muscled guys... I don't. It really depends on the personal taste and the guy too, of course. There are more and less attractive people everywhere (but I know girls who would date just anyone, because he's Asian... maybe except old men, lol). I wouldn't have a chance with Asian men, though, because I'm not skinny and all these Asian girls look so pretty D:

It's interesting to know that most Japanese men don't like hentai, actually. Japan is known abroad for the weird porn XD. How can you explain that stuff? Do people film it as a joke? The octopus porn, for example? Because I can't imagine someone may get turned on by this... it rather looks funny to me.

But if they stopped the Japanese uploaders it'd greatly effect the international community anyway.

Hahaha what? Most uploaders are foreigners who buy the CD or mp3s from itunes. I've never seen any Japanese people coming here to post music, they rather don't share anything.
