yup exactly i know theres alot of people into obscure interests like visual kei who struggle with this haha im glad theres at least the internet where i can connect with others who share my interests otherwise id be all alone with this 😂 i tried bringing up visual kei to some of my friends that are into glam rock stuff because i thought they wouldnt be too weirded out by the bands looks since glam rock was pretty much almost the western equivalent to visual kei but they never show any interest i guess because the different language is an issue to them lol

I am sure a lot of us here have felt like this. It's not the kind of interest you can strike up a conversation about, like Marvel movies or politics. It's a hard sell to others who even have a foot in the door by being fans of rock music or fashion too. For me, that's what makes it kind of special. It's why I joined MH after lurking for a long while!

COVID did it's part too 😷
 
Eventually they're going to have to ask themselves if they're happy making the type of music they are as DIMLIM. They had to at least once before when they decided what MISC would sound like. There's just so little left in terms of a cohesive style and it's harder to accept when the band's leader applies a strict "love-it-or-leave-it" policy to their fans. I think they're all talented (Sho and Hiroshi more than Retsu, personally) and I'd hate to see them in this state for much longer.

I hope Elon Musk launches Yoshiki to space and doesn't let him to ever come back

I only have one thing to say: "Lil Peep fucked DIMLIM" HAHAHA 😅
 
Joking apart...
  Well, I agree with the fans who are disappointed with the band because they are being blocked by Retsu (or whoever) just because they are expressing their opinion about the current DIMLIM.  In fact, blocking a fan for giving an opinion, or expressing some kind of feeling, even if it is "negative", is not at all democratic, don't you think?  How he wants to win over audiences if he disregards the opinion of the old public that is contrary to MISC.  - I tell him (Retsu) because he has a history of blocking everyone with adverse opinions to him.  He did this when he still had his official Twitter profile (or there is, I don't care, I don't follow him anymore).
 
 Conclusion:
 Did they want to leave visua kei?  OK.
 Did you jump from metalcore to mathrock?  OK.
 However I, like a fucking fan, have every right to feel SAD and DISSAPOINTED about it.  As long as I'm not offending or attacking him, and he blocks me out of being sad, he's YES being a son of a bitch asshole.
 
 I love Sho, he is my favorite artist at the moment, EVERYTHING about him matters to me.  The thing I'm going to miss most is going to have that anxiety to see how his next look will be.  To know the way in which he will express the feeling of the lyrics of the current release with the new look (like when he did it on Rijin).
 
 Visual kei is that, art being expressed beyond composition.  Retsu "trivialized" it all by calling it "makeup".
 VK goes beyond bangyas doing furi, and unfortunately, it's a shame that he didn't dig it, but I respect it.  😕
 
 I am also grateful to him, for being one of the main minds in creating one of the best albums I have ever heard, CHEDOARA.  I sincerely hope that he is not an asshole as almost everyone supposes here.

Let's talk about it....

I wouldn’t call it that, and I don’t think anyone else did either. 

Preferably a female bassist.

People in the thread don't hate dimlim, we want them to succeed because they showed some of the strongest potential we'd seen around in a stale scene. 
 
People are salty because dimlim are shooting themselves in the foot and fucking up what could've been fantastic for fans, the band and vk. 

My assumption is that MISC is what it is because that’s the best type of music to write when you’ve only got a guitarist, a drummer, and a vocalist. And really I can’t imagine what Dimlim sounded like live as three piece playing Chedoara material. When the laptop freezes there goes the bassist and other guitarist. 

I don't think these January shows are happening with the pandemic ramping back up. That rescheduled Russia date came and went without a single mention.
 
There is maybe a chance to keep it together with the Rijin/Kidoairaku sound and forget MISC. ever happened (not that it doesn't have its moments). I would also be happy with Retsu leaving and them continuing as a two-piece band just to keep it wacky and interesting.

Hahaha if only this happened that'd be amazing. Tbh it would probably do the band a favour if Retsu left, he seems to be getting all gassed up on "sadboi" music atm and seems to change what he likes all the time. Like I remember a live stream with him and Ryuya on instagram where he was blasting like Gojira in the background all the way through. Then later on insta questions said he "doesn't listen to that type of music anymore", then MISC happened and due to lack of activity it makes me wonder if he's losing interest in the rock/metal stuff completely. So who knows wtf is going to happen from here. Announcing a disbandment would probably make most sense, before DIMLIM turns into a sadboi rap trio. Though that could be lels....
