Looks like it's actually an excerpt from his current one, haha.

This should become a famous pasta in the VK community, we just need variations of it and then we are set.

If Kyo tatooed this I would think its retarded but sukekyo is the most pretentious band VK has ever seem so it wouldn't be out of character but in this case it looks like the guy just had some mental breakdown about something and did the classic "I am le avant-agarde artist" to cope

Is this a Johnnys band? Interesting how they are not too visual but also dont seem to act like a boyband (by boyband I mean only dancing and singing, no instrument playing by the members), I wonder if there are still market for that in Japan. If there is, Japan really looks like the only place with a somewhat diverse music environment still. 

Also that new sonic the hedgehog design rocks

Why is 今日(today) using as ユメ(dream) illegal? 

I mean it in the way that when artists combine kanji not usually combinable to have deeper meaning at least the base kanji they combined can be read that way

In the case of 今日 neither 今 and 日 have ユ or メ readings, so even though 今日 is read as "kyou" and not "yume" it would be cool/work still if the readings of the individual kanjis would be possible to read as "yu" and "me", which it is not the case hence my point.

But it was more of a joke than an actual indignation since that is not unheard of, just less clever IMO

Never listened to them but this one seems like Jpop to me, which depending on the mood its fine to listen to.

Judging by this thread they were not like this before so I guess I am going to listen to their previous works

what

Using 今日 as ユメ is illegal you cant do that, someone stop these madlads

Also, is 私ノ悪イ癖 about a girl who loved a guy so much she wanted him to be part of her forever by eating parts of him?

Everyone marching with their squad on Vinushka during opening ceremony. 

"Yeah guys we know we are here to celebrate how sick these humans got with training and to shit at each other for winning/losing all in good sport of course but do you guys remember all the horror of the bombs? oh yeah you dont because WE GOT FUCKED OVER not you lol"

Has anyone ever watched that shilled to the max doc about X japan? does Yoshiki cries for 30 minutes because Hide died on it?

tbh I really wish Hide was alive because he was more talented than everyone on X, he sings even better than Toshi and would probably have released three albums worth of good music by now while Yoshiki would be doing nothing besides still thinking "making it" in the west matters.

There can only be one solution, Retsu should be cloned and now he can even play the bass and second guitar parts live! he can even phisically argue with himself while Sho inhale screams eternally in the corner

Will Kyo be able to perform a non-shitty version of Ranunculus that will be recorded? we shall see

For what I read they will give priority to the digital launch ... but will it come out in physical CD? Hopefully it will.

In the last line they say "For people who wants the disc/CD we will announce something officially later on"

Hope they don't disband and find new members ASAP, they still have my expectations high enough

I hope China doesn't get the upper hand in this but realistically speaking the only way to not lose would be to have your own military right? I doubt any country would step up to help you guys considering China has the countries with strong military by the balls economically speaking but that would be another alternative since even if HK had a army it hardly would be able to fight against the sheer number China probably can output. The way things look like right now it seems to me that  civil war could break out and if that happens HK will suffer way more than it already is suffering.

It is also at times like these (the information age) that I think I am glad something horrenduous like this can not be covered by the media, IMO the CPC is disgusting and the more people are aware of what they truly are the faster we get closer to getting rid of it.

I only hope for the best for people who long for freedom from totalitarian regimes.

btw the live portion of this release is fucking awesome, songs like stalker, heisei, and 0 are absolutely fucking killer live. the amount of energy this band brings for their concerts is nuts

 

hell even Tokyo was a fun song to see in this live dvd and thats probably the most bland song theyve release 

FUG I wanna hear 0 live so bad, I also agree that their lives are amazing.

One thing that I didn't realize until a saw the 4th oneman dvd live was that Lime uses a backing vocal through most songs that I initially thought it was another member of the band doing it, these guys really are showing new things to the genre. I don't know if another band have released only singles for 2 years and made it work like they are doing, it might actually be more profitable than going full album too soon and it also makes them have more time to compose a pack of mostly good material since they don't need much material upfront.

Why does alcohol even have to exist? What good has it ever done to anyone? Just how many families has it ruined? How many kids has it traumatized? I don't think I even wanna know...

If it was not alcohol it would be another drug. When you get to that point of hurting yourself by drinking it is quite obvious you are running from something you don't want to face. Like all other drugs, it will only go away if you solve or at least try to solve whatever deep problem you have that makes being sober so horrible.

Most times people are just not aware of what the problem actually is though, making it almost impossible to do something about it.

Damn I was a little bummed that it seemed they would repeat the hakuchuumu from the album but this is instrumental is an AMAZING upgrade, really excited now!

I like this song a lot but it definitely sounds like it's from a sonic the hedgehog game.

WTF Live and Learn shits all over this, if you are going to compare to something bad at least choose something REALLY bad like someone already did with the Uverworld MHA opening (I don't even think Uverworld is garbage but to make something like odd future I am pretty sure they were doing a experiment where they were trying to know how far they can diarrea a song and get away with it)

Hizumi is probably afraid to restart despairsray and not be up to do they previous material to a satisfactory level, well I hope he finds a way since his vocals are one of the most memorable from "recent" times VK

Damn did they went to the same guy who did Gackt's until the last day cover photoshop work? Yoshihiko looks weird as hell

Regardless, I love these guys music since my highschool days and this new release looks promising enough!

I believe he either said that a "foreigner joining the band would be pretty hard/unlikely, but not impossible"

or

That considering they were referencing themselves as the "foreigners" going somewhere else would be hard but not impossible. <-- this one makes more sense IMO

I really don't understand the amount of hate TIW receives since IMHO its tied with Vulgar as my favorite, Vulgar is better lyrics-wise though and that is also the part about TIW that generally feels lackluster. Also RED...[em] solo is so sick, I wish Die had more parts like that in other songs, that song live in the Mode of Vulgar was definitely the highlight to me. I WISH they didnt remake obscure because I hate the new one with a passion, was Kyo getting fucked over by some parts of it?

I really dislike Arche though, as an album it feels so disconnected that I only ever listened to it fully the first time and after that only listened to the songs that I actually enjoyed. Coming from DSS, the album that got me into them, to this was such a drop that I am glad I actually enjoyed TIW otherwise I would have probably dropped them by now.

The bands attitude shifted  after that and I remember there was a lot of talk about them hating each other and possibly disbanding, due to the interviews that dropped post the release of the album. It also didn't help that the performances were and arguably still are pretty bad due to how they recorded DSS. Clearly the band didn't learn their lesson because they proceeded to take the same approach when it came to the Unraveling, which imo aged badly minus a few songs. 

This kinda explains the rumor/talk that I always heard about them that they don´t see themselves as friends and more like business partners, although pinpointing sales failure in someone is almost always a bad idea especially when I believe they seem to have similar creative power with Kaoru being slightly above.

By the quality of this artwork I have to guess its somebody's friends with the band because its pretty amateur damn

I love all X japan albums (excluding that big self-indulgent jerkoff that is Art of Life) but have to say  with Toshi's extreme retardation in all that cult fiasco that stopped the band activities in their peak + Yoshiki's excessive melodrama that is probably all a plan to get the most attention possible without actually releasing anything makes me question if there is any correlation to making great music and being intelligent at all

What color was Ryo lenses in the 夜想 mv? That was perfect for him IMO, my guess is either green or light gray?
