We really are similar, huh? Even down to having punky blood 😤✊

Made sure to search MH and I’m shocked that a VK forum hasn’t talked about one of Japan’s favourite personality codifiers: Blood Types. If you haven’t heard of blood type theory, you can quickly scan the Wiki or read an article but basically it’s the belief that one’s personality is partially influenced by the type of blood that runs in your veins. It’s like astrology in the sense that it’s a rough outline for what you’re like as a person (also it’s not scientifically proven).
 
I’m a B-type! B+ to be precise. I found out in my senior year biology class when we took samples of our blood to find out our blood-types in order to learn more about them. I was the only B in the whole room Everyone else was either O or A.
 
B-types are said to be creative, passionate, flexible and curious. Our downsides are that we’re said to be selfish, uncooperative and irresponsible. I think this sort of fits me? I can be quite passionate, expressive and strong-willed. I get called based all the time, hehe. Plus flexible, yes, I am definitely not the anal A-type at all. I’m so far from being a perfectionist, which is what A-types are mainly categorised as. The issue is that B-types are described as outgoing and I’m really shy around strangers and generally reserved with most people. Also, no one’s ever called me selfish or anything like that, my parents included (I’ve been criticised for other things). Especially irresponsible? People have looked up to me as a shining example of conscientiousness and studiousness… 
 
Anyway, there seems to be a decent amount of B-type guys in the VK scene, so if it means that I’ve got that same punky spirit in me then I’m happy to be a B-type! Some of my favourite B-type bandomen are Gokimi (Tokyo Heroes, Guru Guru Eigakan), Yoshiyuki Shimizu (Shinjuku Gewalt, Cosmo-Shiki), and Kenjirou Murai (Cali Gari).
 
Final tidbit: did you know that your race impacts what kind of blood type you’re likely to have? Where I originate from (Central Asia), B-type is the majority blood type. For white people, there are many O-types. In Japan, A-type is the most common.
 
What’s your blood type, MH peeps? If you know it, that is. You can also elaborate if you're + or -. Do you think it fits your personality? And which of your favourite bandomen do you have a blood type in common with?

I’m a B+
 
B-type people are super rare in my region so fingers crossed that nobody will be needing blood transfusions anytime soon. 
 
The takeaway: Let’s all donate blood if/while we can ♥️

By the title I’m not referring to storage methods but how you like to sort your collection if you do so. I love asking this question with CD collectors! Even though some don't actually have a particular order they use (as I've learned from asking). I’m wondering how MH peeps like to sort their CDs, specifically because of the different ways to order Japanese versus English CDs.
 
For example, I normally sort my collection by artist name through the standard Alpha-numeric to Script system: Special characters -> Numbers -> Alphabet (A-Z)-> Hiragana (A-Wa) -> Katakana (A-Wa) -> Kanji (A-Wa). However, I like to “play” with my collection by sorting them in different orders. Here’s how I’ve arranged them before: 
 
By artist name, purely phonetically (Japanese mixed with English names, so, for example, 蜉蝣 is next to Kanye West) By album name, Alpha-numeric to Script By oldest to the newest album release date (purely by the date I see on the back of the CD) By newest obtained to the one I have had the longest (I used to order it like this until I learned how to read and look up Japanese) By artist genre, generic to specific (Like this: Electronic -> Electro -> Synthpop -> Piko-Piko)  By album genre, same as above. "generic to specific" is just done arbitrarily by how popular I think a genre is when I'm already as specific as it gets  By my personal favourite to least favourite  
How about the rest of you guys? Do any of you use a system I haven't tried yet, because I wouldn't mind trying a new order for my collection!

Any OGs here remember the absolute Diru classic, "Sea of Retards"? 😤
 

I will never forget when a friend of a friend who modelled for Dada's (of Velvet Eden) fashion line started spreading rumours that he's abusive, fat, and gave her aids when she slept with him lmaooooo
Kamijo getting plastic surgery to look more white because he loves France that much? IDK what's up with that rumor, he still looks pretty damn East Asian to me.
I've heard as many "Mana is gay" rumours as "Mana has a secret wife" rumours and I would like the rumour mill to get their shit together and pick a single narrative, please. At least "Mana is transgender" is a consistent one.
Also this one rumour I found on a defunct fansite that said that the reason Yoshiki added Japan to X's name is because American X had successfully sued X Japan for millions because they had the same band name and Yoshiki swept it under the rug to keep face. But I have heard of stupid lawsuits like that in the music industry so I actually kinda believed it until I looked it up myself . 

@AnchuAnchor
and now they have been sold......2 me.............. 
 
a moment of silence for my wallet

Oh wow I remember browsing Mercari for vk stuff just the other day and I most definitely came across all of these 😲

Parental advisory: may lead to bankruptcy....

@Tokage keeps sending me mercari links i think he wants me to go bankrupt 
 

 

 

Man this thread gives me flashbacks to when I was super into... Fla$hbacks. 
 
Thanks folks, I'll be here all night.
 
Anyway, I also used to listen to KOHH as well. Not anymore though, as I got deeper into VK my taste for all kinds of Hip-hop fizzled out greatly. The only J-hip-hop artist I still listen to is Dotama, and that's because his flow is just something else. I don't even think it's possible to have this kind of flow in English, merely because of intrinsic linguistic differences. Also idk his voice is irritating at first but it grew on me hard. His releases have always been pretty solid these past years so I'm glad to have him in my library. 
 

I was thinking about it while listening to the 'cover' album this weekend: I wonder what the other DARRELL dudes think about basically becoming DEATHGAZE by default?

👁👄👁

I’m ready for another condom surprise.
This time they better include face masks too.

I can scream ( ._.)/

What would we younger fans do without you, amazing people 🖤🖤🖤

i was going to say welcome to the shuuji fan club but then i remembered i actually joined the goatbed & cali gari fanclubs and it's not a joke anymore for me.................. (& am now currently questioning my life choices)
 
goatbed's doing 2 twitcast streams today that which might be a good jump in. I find that even if I don't know the songs for goatbed it's fun to listen to & watch and not that expensive + you get
1) shuuji's great(?) dance moves
2) shuuji's stellar(?) MCs
3) u-g looking bored at all times
4) some amazing(?) camera shots thanks to camerman shuuji like WOW that is a GREAT wall to look at thnx bro
 
if you like xa-vat, there's a kozi/goatbed pre-recorded stream that will be available to watch from tomorrow the 5th (available for purchase until the 5th) too, which i am, uh, curious to see👀
 
 
i was pretty big into cali gari like 8(+?) years ago &  idk what happened... i got distracted i guess. But i'm back!! the songs i'm drawn to now are different than what i was into in the past, for sure, though. like those high notes at the end of school zone👌and then the vocals in 三文情死エキストラ are out of this world wtf
 
what i'm basically saying for any unbridled shuuji enthusiasm i am here 4 it!! 
but uh sads123 is the one to ask for any history or in depth info 

sadly by seeing them live you won't get the ''let's just randomly pan over to a wall now'' ''ok now here's 7 minutes of my brother looking bored'' ''i'm real close to the screen now.... you can almost touch me'' experience...

Jip-Jop.

I have been laughing at this video for the past five minutes what is wrong with me

found this on FB:
 
He says that their company wanted them to say it's a hiatus, but he doesn't want to lie to their fans and make them wait for a comeback, since there won't be any comeback. They're just disbanding
Yoshiatsu also says they'll all comeback, maybe together, maybe not, he still doesn't know, but for sure Yoshiatsu will continue to sing. So let's wait for their comeback even if it's in separate bands...

I love them! Hoping for the best from this 😁
