Making Japan more accountable to its corruption benifits not only foreigners but the locals as well as we all have to work together on this planet ❤️

Again, you are trying to explain the most common sense aspects of Japan to someone who lives and works here for a long time. Police brutality protest = we are talking about the police. Veeerrry simple my friend ﾔﾌﾔﾌ〜♪(∩´∀｀)

@ghostpepper @secret_no_03 prime example of why we have added rules to stay off this kind of topic. It isn't gonna go anywhere, so please take it to DMs if you wanna continue. ⚠️ 

Yeah it's not going anywhere, but at least it was civilized.

Just making sure, there's some crazies who think all Japanese should repent for things their great grandparents did. 👌

Japan, the Japanese police force or the Japanese government because those are three entirely separate things. The citizens of Japan don't have any sins to atone nor do any people of any country that are just living their daily lives. This whole thing about a pseudo-religiousity and all of us alive now have sins because of what our ancestors did is ridiculous. If you're talking about the strong armed and kangaroo court system of law in Japan that's fine, same with you inept governmental bodies, but your everyday Japanese citizen has nothing to feel bad about.

You seem to not get the parallel. A blm event being lead by black people is logical, just as foreigners leading protest for themselves is logical, you just said yourself the people affected leading makes sense , is there a risk? Yes. But it is an individuals right to choose to take that risk for themselves. You jump to white but the Kurdish man is middle eastern? In Japan Ive seen and heard of my Indonesian, korean,  and Filipino friends getting equally bad treatment. Those people if they choose to protest it is their right and def I support them. Much better than bootlicking logic. 

Correction is love, but so many people these days are so spiritually weak and have such fragile egos that they cannot tell the difference between when someone is trying to help them and when someone is genuinely attacking them. Some people even confuse me speaking with authority as me speaking "harshly". smh
 
I've been experiencing this a lot lately, especially in regards to younger men and even some men my age. It's honestly pretty irritating.
 
I've only been on this earth a short 33 years, but so much has changed since I was a kid. I mean, shit...i'm just a nerdy-ass weeb - never been your stereotypical "tough guy" or thug type, but I never been a bitch either. So it's definitely a curious thing to witness the rampant lack of heart I'm seeing today.

It is really funny seeing people who are not Japanese use the term gaijin. Like uncle tom level. 
 
So uh, lets say BLM protest being lead by black people would be bad by your logic? 
Been living here for nearing 7 years, have terrible experiences with police fucking me over just for being a foreigner. been choked in front of police officers just waiting for me to defend myself, was pretty much told it was my fault by an old countryside cop after finding my ex's body after a suicide. so uhh the people affected by these BS situations leading the protest recently is not strange? Or about"look at me!" I hate those typical english teacher jobber types too, but that Kurdish man who was a victim of excessive force leading a protest for him and others like him is 100% normal. 

seeing all the antipiracy white knights here acting almighty and purist in an extremely niche scene built upon piracy decades ago
 

Some can, but still playing lives is important. 
lives are important to find and to keep your fans. 
 
 

I totally agree with you.
 
I was just thinking that some bands can do everything for fun and even live show.
 
But I don't exclude that doing music cost a lot of money, and It's good if at least you can get the amount you invest. Music videos, equipment, sound production , artworks....
 
 

Trust me, you struggle to find people who remember him in Sweden. You have to prod like 5 minutes and then they'll go like "oh yeah that guy"
 
 

I have seen people mentioning this ITT already but I want to stress how your age when you started listening is really important. When you like something, you ask the question to yourself, "why do I like this?"
 
The answer will be vague when you are young, because this is a point where you are a fickle being, because you are discovering a lot of things in a short spam of time, you kinda want to try it out and also depending in a lot of other factors in your life (social circle and even your OWN appearance influences this) you will be more fickle than most for that young part of your life.
 
But there will come a point in your life where you will finally set you own "tier-list" of things that are important because you will have experienced enough things to know what you really like more. Of course this doesn't mean you are set for life in never discovering new things, but these things will not be that much different from what value the most by now.
 
When you get to this point in life, you will be able to answer the question "why do I like this?" more precisely. Great topic btw, always like seeing discussion about this

As some people enjoyed our works and shared the album in the downloads as well, here are 2 tabs from the album in guitar pro format if you are interested.
I do not use guitar pro for writing so these are just from the midi files and then guitar and bass written out.
Cheers~

Yohio is not just some dude like the guys from Emmuree or like Aie who do visual kei as a lifestyle for the love of the sport. He is a sunglasses-indoors-wearing blowhard who's portraying himself as a living legend hot shit CEO. For him to not reach a certain level he aspires to would be devastating. It's make it or break it for him to get there right now with the vision he had envisaged years ago with KEIOS, Desaiha, Lovelipop etc. 
 
And I actually have to disagree, I don't think he is that productive. Right now is the only time he has been consistent since the melodifestivalen hype when he put out two albums in short order, which ended after they forgot about him in Sweden and his second attempt at Eurovision flopped. His release schedule right now is making me so angry, like why does he put out single songs constantly without even really promoting them before he moves on to promoting the next one! The only good rollout he has done recently was for his previous solo track. It'd do better to have put out all the english DISREIGN tracks as a EP because they're already super mediocre so at least you could put 4 or 5 in one package with a PV and a ballad and promote it for weeks and not move on from one to the next without anyone caring.  No one has a relationship with the English DISREIGN and I've seen even his fans being confused and unenthusiastic. Right now there's a new DISREIGN track coming up with almost no warning and he already has three DISREIGN releases in the bag without a PV, and those PVs are his most popular content. He should've put out the DISREIGN tracks as an EP as well that he really actually promoted, and done the legwork in Japan if possible. I just don't think he can stomach playing second fiddle at a multi-man event where only 3 people came to see him, because unlike what his socials would tell you I don't think he can even draw a decent crowd in Stockholm, let alone in Japan. 
 
My armchair booking for him would be releasing YOHIO solo tracks as stand-alone and build up for the album like he's doing, then DISREIGN and english DISREIGN tracks as either 2 track singles or minis with PVs. And it's better for him to put out one release a year that he'd promote right, instead of shitting out tracks without promoting any of them. Less is more etc.  And while I'm sure he is busy playing CEO right now with dad's cash, he could even take a video of him recording something and post it as a daily Vlog because his ( small ) fanbase loves that. The way he abandoned his Patreon too just lowers the value of his brand and decreases the trust between him and the people dumb enough to pay for this trash. 
 
And this thread is great because after all, I think all this western stuff does deserve attention. For one, it's an outgrowth from vk culture so it is interesting in like a scholarly sense, and second the ones that are doing this are the ones who are brave and stupid enough to realise the dreams that more than a few members of this board have had myself included; and as an extension of that it's our duty to savagely tear down their hopes and dreams if necessary. If I was doing music I wouldn't have it any other way.

you know your brain's been exposed to too much politics when your mind autofilters the bandname to THE BLACK LIVES MATTER BAND

Ryou from Luna Sea singing 'prick-ed' instead of 'pricked' in Rosier.
 
I love the song but it bugs me way too much.

Kisaki helped so many other bands and helped spread vk so lots of people have a dislike paired with respect feeling here from my experience. Would rather just give rokmaykan the money direct though tbh 😅💦

Anyways, I'm not really excited for this release at all. That's probably to be expected lol. 

Totally agree with ' pixy false ', the introduction is a total steal from ' Pierrot - finale '. Sometimes this kind of situation can be a coincidence but here there are too many similar things

I am a simple man. I see Kisaki's name, I click to see the comments.
