Total Saikou

Blue Film 20th anniversary edition was released yesterday at the live which is the original Blue Film and Blue Film 2 each with a new bonus track & is on sale at Ao's shop right now. The kuji is back and I still sure would like that ATM bag lol....
 
Also the live yesterday was super rough to watch w/ Shuuji's hernia acting up. He was basically KO'd in the middle of the first song.
Honestly if it wasn't for the new song we'll get + Ao planning to do 副音声 for the e+ stream I wouldn't buy it 
 
Weirdly excited about 15 bringing back the 予告版 experience though 

I actually like this and it's a pretty solid jam overall. Don't mind the melodic turn at all and instrumentally it's pleasant.
 
Unpopular opinion time: Just cause someone doesn't like something doesn't make it bad for everyone else.

I honestly don't get the hate, it's pretty bangin' imo

Sounds cool !! This is more what I expected when they originally signed to AINS.
Sooooo... Kagrou - XII DIZZY anyone?
Still good either way!
I agree although I know the result is me being confused at my library after a year or two as to who all these other bands are lol!

For some reason this completely flew under my radar, but it appears RAKUGAKI has released their 1st digital single under their alterego moniker 羅苦餓鬼 (also read as "Rakugaki") on 2020/10/31, titled 『殺意二満チタ貴女へ…』("Satsui NI miCHITA kijo E..."). As you could guess from the stylization of the title, it's more of a dark kote-kei influenced record compared to their usual eclectic pop-punk rock style.
 
This comes as too late now, but they were also taking pre-orders for a special made-to-order cassette version of the single until 8th November (i.e. the number of copies are limited to the number of preorders). So that slipped us by now, but at least we can listen to the tunes online.

Here is the Youtube playlist of the single for those who don't have Spotify and want to have a quick listen:
 
 
I thought this was quite fun! Still sad to see these guys go so soon...

There's never enough music from the gods.

cali≠gari will release a new CD titled "15予告版" (15 yokoku-ban) early next year. The oneman gig commemorating the release will be held on 2021/02/11 so there's a good chance that the CD comes out around that time (no further details are known yet). Judging from the title it's safe to assume that it will be a single preceding a future album.
 
The band also announced a tour titled "Tour 15" that will last from 2021/03/06 till 2021/06/28. This makes me think that the potential album that will follow the "15予告版" CD might be released around that timeframe, but the guys haven't talked of an album yet, so we shall see...

🤣🙈
 

The perfect song to listen to while packing everything up and getting ready to move house.
 
 
I fucking hate moving (I don't just mean moving house right now either, like I'm so tired I just hate moving my body in general) but it'll all be over soon. Hopefully this is the last time I'll ever have to do it. 😔

People have too much time on their hands, good Christ

 

Me and the three other people who still listen to Ryu's OROCHI weep silently 

People have too much time on their hands, good Christ

 

Well, enough people call me Saikou these days that I actually respond to it, so this would be my VK/band nickname, I think! I'd spell it like サイコー to keep the punny ambiguity between 最高 (best, greatest) and サイコ (psycho, psychopath). 

My new cover image happens to be my desktop background! It's nice to see two of my favourite musicians and greatest inspirations together like this  Way more cooler than a sunset background or anything like that, I'd say 😛 

Well, I've been called: Rin / 린 / 凛 most of the time (korean and japanese friends) as they don't really use the "L" in their language hehe
and for online I recently changed my name to Rize リゼ, the name sounds cool and also because りぜ from i.D.A is my fav guitarist ^^ 
 
so it's either Rin or Rize for me these days  

I just found out today about Lovecraft's cat's name today and... That's all I'm gonna say 

A year ago, heck maybe even a few months ago, I might've said something edgy like "listening to sad music", but nah I'm doing better now (trying to anyway). I try to focus on things that make me happy and surround myself with things that make me happy. It can be anything, no matter how silly other people may think it is. And it really might sound silly because right now I'm addicted to plushies and cute/pretty things that brighten up my day. I want to surround myself in them, and I also want to try planting flowers in my apartment/patio when it gets warmer. I lived in my parent's basement for about a year and half before moving into my current apartment. The ceiling was warping, there were mice inside the walls, half the room was storage for my family, and seeing a bug (sometimes dead) was a common occurrence. I'm happy I got out of there. I mean, I've had other things in the past that f'ed me up, but that living experience was rather awful (honestly, living at my parent's was always awful). Ofc, I will still cry sometimes depending on what I'm sad about, but right now buying things for my new apartment and building a comfy living space makes me really happy. 😊
 
Also, cutting toxic and abusive people out of your life is really important, if you can. They will drain you and deteriorate your health horribly, especially when you're at your low. If you cannot cut them off, set your boundaries and distance yourself from them as much as you can. Hold on to those who care about you and who will support you in everything you do because you can only do so much on your own. Some people might think they can take care of themselves on their own, but the truth is, sometimes we all need a little help and support from others and that's okay! If you don't have anyone, you will find them someday! I don't know if I consider anyone IRL as someone like that, one of them lives faraway, and I have another friend in town but I think I made it uncomfortable for her several times when I was really down and broken, and I feel bad about that........but as I said before, I'm trying to do better. I do love all of my online friends tho and am happy to have them! ❤️ Please take good care of yourself!
