Total Saikou

What a chance! To welcome our last user 😧 Glad to meet you hope you will move on with us to J-ROCK ONE !!

The last new member MH will ever have... Thanks for swinging on by in the last few days we have left, enjoy them with us ✌️

I would just like to say "Azaeroe" and leave it at that for a laugh, but there's more I wanna say.
 
I was here for just over two years and they were a wonderful two years. Until my WiFi mishaps, I actually managed to log in every single day! Usually when I join a new site I get bored of it quickly but not here. I spoke to some awesome people (and some not so awesome, but they made me laugh), learnt a lot and got many new interests. I'm on my phone outside a closed shop that fsr still has its WiFi going and my hands are cold so I'll keep this short and sweet but it really was an amazing experience being here. Thank you all! ❤️

I've been here for 10 years, at first just a bit of lurking here and there and when the chat feature came I've always been there each single day to have a chat with everyone and to cheer people up as I've been known as the positive fairy who cheers everyone up

 
I've got to know quite some people here who I'm still in touch with^^ (after I came back after 5 years).
 
I think the most memorable thing was:
That thing with Akane (Para:noir/D.I.D) where everyone went nuts for some specific comment about religions or something. I remember @Karma’s Hat used to had it in the signature >,<
 
My duties which I did for the staff team back in the days. Also the end of the year staff music reviews was really nice organized and fun to do 
 
Honestly I've always been quite a introvert person but thanks to you all I've become a more open person both online and irl  
 
I hope to stay in touch with everyone!
I do have a few people of MH on my social media accounts, feel free to follow and message me so we can stay in touch!

I haven't met as many people as some of the European folks, one time @WhirlingBlack and I *almost* went for drinks, I hope I can go to your club some day. I had the pleasure of hanging out with @monkeybanana4 at a couple of concerts and watching a hilarious shitty movie with @ghost  
 
I've made some really good memories here and hope to continue having laughs with some of you. I can't wait for teenage intellectuals and spiritual gurus to keep targeting whichever platforms we move onto 🙏

Certified uniconic MH moments:

Truly the best of times! Can't believe I almost forgot about how fun and lively the chat was here, and of course the Certified Dispo McDonald's Live Reports too, lmao. Already left my remarks in the closing thread but again, thank you everyone for everything, it is without a doubt that from 1st January I'll be feeling a bit like a delirious invalid returning from war without this place (even if we already have other means of communicating)... maybe not the best analogy but whatever, lol.
 
U CAN TAKE JIG OUT OF MH BUT U CAN'T TAKE MH OUT OF JIG ✊

FUCK IT, DOUBLE POST.
 
Figured since I'm stuck with my old PC now I might as well do a deep dive in hopes of coming up with some funny images from days of yore. Unfortunately it didn't yield a haul as big as I anticipated...but anyway, here are some things I dug up that I found funny (or that were funny at one point in time).
 
While MH closing got us like...
 

 
...let us think of the good times. Remember when Akane from D.I.D. expressed his religious views, even tho nobody asked?
 

 
But he wasn't the only one to be brilliant on social media. THE HAKKIN were pretty lowkey but they managed this whopper once:
 

 
Remember the MOO album from DEG? Or DOGEMA from the GazettE? Or...
 

(ok I know I'm the only one who still finds doge funny in 2020 idc)
 
Anyway, when it comes down to it, love is the answer. Let that special someone in your life know your true feelings.
 

 

 
...or you can just get to the point.
 

 
Sadly I don't have many screenshots from MH itself, but for some reason I kept this gem by @Tokage:
 

 
Closing off, let's remember that through all the good, bad or strange times it has always just been about the music, maaan. We're just a bunch of people going crazy over some (mostly) random underground fan-exploiting-or-worse weirdos who probably don't even know or suspect we even exist. Opinions are opinions, no need make a big fuss over them, but... I think we can agree that visual kei at its peak has made us all feel a bit of what @Shaolan974 once formulated that has stuck with me to this day:
 

 
Adios once again, MH.

Love those big chunky lemons.  
 
By the way both the regular and limited editions will include 6 tracks, in the following configurations:
 
Regular CD: 4 new songs + "cali-gari no Commercial" + bonus track (I couldn't quite catch what it is, something that has to do with Shuuji)
Limited CD1: 4 new songs + "cali-gari no Commercial" / CD2: a new reworked recording of their old classic "Izon..." song originally from Dai 5

"15 予告版" will be released at 2021/02/10 (2 types)
 
Limited edition (3080yen) will include 2CD
Regular edition (2750yen) will include 1CD
 
  

MH truly has been a special place for a lot of us. I vividly remember the chatbox era and how it was almost like a society on its own with various people filling different roles and social structures and friendships forming and failing due to drama or other things. So much time was invested not just chatting but also just reading and enjoying the conversations. Most of the personalities I remember well from the forum come from this era.
 
Gotten a lot of good and lasting friendships through this forum and I will be forever be grateful to MH for it.
 
Reciprocal shoutout to@Karma’s Hat, we started out on quite bad terms in the early days but became good friends over time, now we have met a lot of times and have a blast every time.
 
I've met a lot of our members IRL and I've almost never had a bad experience. Shoutouts to @Biopanda, @hyura, @Takadanobabaalien, @Jigsaw9, @Seiji, @Tokage, @allisapp , @digi,@spockittyand ALL of you I've talked to or interacted with throughout the years here.
 
Some people have come and gone, others are still a part of my life, but I hope you all know you helped form who I am today. 
 
If anyone else want to drop their appreciations for the forum and the people this is the place to do so!

The chat was what really brought most of us together and was super important. I'm so thankful to have been a part of it. I remember there was a running gag that I looked like Renly from Game of Thrones. 😆 The chat was so much fun. 

It's a been a long ride. I've been on here for 11 years, close to 12. Everything has to come to an end and I honestly can't say where I would be without this place. Without any hesitation I can say that Monochrome Heaven, or Tainted World as it was when I first joined, changed my life. I'm genuinely curious how that makes people like Zess and Ito feel that they've had such a significant impact on a person's life just by making this place and running for all these years. The current trajectory on which my life is on was set by all the friendships I've made in this place over the years, and through everything I went through this place was a constant companion. Zess, Bear/Sumostig, Junna, Shizu, Whirlingblack especially have been significant to me and I'm grateful. Who knows how deep I'd be in normiedom without these people influencing my taste in the way they did. If it wasn't Christmas with the family I wasn't as tipsy as I was, I'd probably have a whole lot more to say about this than I do now. Me and Whirlingblack started really hanging out proper in the beginning of 2017 when I decided to just bail Finland. I stayed at his place for some time and I don't remember what we did together, but what I do know for sure is that it was the kind of debauchery what we would we doing together and independently to this day. Shizu is another person that by his existence has assured me I'm first of all not entirely alone in world with my tastes and interests. 
 
But it wasn't just the few people that one stuck around with all these years that made the place, but also all the characters that've come and gone over the years. There is so much stuff to dig out of the annals of monochrome heaven and tainted world that in my case it'd be a book. 
 
What the new people on here don't know, is that this place had a tremendously active chat back in the days that was integrated into the website. Almost every was there at one point, and during its heydays absolutely nothing was going on my life, so I was there almost every minute or every single day.  In my country you have to take dancing lessons for the prom for like six months, and in 2012 when I went through that thing most of that time I'd be giving live status updates throughout the whole experience. Before and after I'd be sitting in Mcdonald's drinking coffee and it became a running joke that I was always online, always people watching in Mcdonald's. Probably some of my best memories from the board are from the chat years. Shoutout to everyone who was there to experience it
 
So much stuff has happened on this board that new people have no idea, because so much has been lost to chat logs, private messages and purges over the years. The forum as it stands rn is only a tiny fraction of all that had taken place. 
 
I'm too drunk right now to remember any of this stuff, but it means so much to me and I'll cherish all of these memories forever. Here is some of people I've met irl over the years from here in a random order 
 
wb, marcus, jigsaw, shizu, saltofstones, allisapp, panda, pretsy, hyura, slsr, stylelover, 237q, gaz, tokage and many, many others I've met for a minute or two during gigs. 
 
I proofread none of this
 
Those who don't have me anywhere can follow me either on here https://twitter.com/SoderlundAleksi or just add me on fb Aleksi Söderlund
 
Everyone who I've shared this place with. 
 
I love you all. Good bye and thanks for the memories, all those i've laughed or fought with. 

Only one song captures how I feel perfectly. Sayonara, Goodbye... I'll see you guys on a different road ✌️
The lyrics are beautiful and have me cry a few times... Here's my translation of the last chorus and verses (3:28)  
 
Don't you cry
If those tears happen to be for me
Don't you cry
If those tears happen to be my fault
Let's go on with our separate lives 
 
Don't you cry
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Don't you cry
The days where we laughed together fade away
In these revolving seasons
The winds will blow
(And we'll) be going on our separate paths
Sayonara Goodbye
Don't cry anymore
Sayonara Goodbye

Fall of Tears - "tragedy" (feat. usako)
 
I guess the title speaks for itself...

ain't afraid to die

There are many I could choose, but "Wakaremichi" fits perfectly. I chose a live version, for better ambience.
 
 

im kinda sad because I really want real  life visual kei friends but nobody around here is really into it at all, most would not even know what im talking about if I mentioned the word "visual kei" 😂

I hear ya!
