I'm confused about this.A post a couple of pages back with a show report from a Japanese friend of a member here saying the opposite,with Sho supposedly hitting his mic on his head and was doing great as a frontman and the backtracked bass and guitar sounded great.Even had a couple seconds of clips that says otherwise that the band has no passion and the crowd looked like they were having fun and full of energy.
 
NVM the show report and clips were from their Dec show.

Lets?

The entirely of MISC lyrics are very different than before. What's Up aside, most of the lyrics are positive or hopeful, it's like Sho is in love lol. From the JaME interview, I figure while Retsu calls the majority of the shots, Sho doesn't sound just like a puppet and was very active in that interview which was surprising.It seems he and Retsu was in agreement while they were writing What's Up?!. Anyway, the lyrics of What's Up?!  doesn't even sound like a huge diss (compared to NB's Thank You).

dimlim is a great example of biting the hand that feeds you

rijin has 300 k and vanitas stands at 650k (provided they didn't buy any), nothing about their MISC phase indicates growth

I appreciate your consistent clowning here tho

?Sho writes the bands lyrics not Retsu.

That wasn't weird because it can affect future live limited releases when fans realize they can pirate it anyway and those buying multiple copies to resell would think twice if they can't sell their extra copies at twice the price lol. Japan also takes piracy seriously, there had been arrest there for persons uploading manga and anime content illegally online. Japanese major labels has been waging war on illegal uploads on YT for years.Masa of NB also said the same thing Retsu said a few years ago.

Still Masa and Hiro of NB? Lol. Some are just salty Retsu blocked them on Twitter lol.

That's just not a good look though.  Almost their entire fanbase before MISC was made up of vk fans and metal fans, so for them to purposefully shut them out isn't really a good move imo.  No one said they had to keep being visual kei, and if they just stopped dressing up and dropped the album I don't think anyone would have had a big problem.  But Retsu renouncing vk and blocking old fans and the entire lyrical concept of MISC seeming like a jab at people who didn't like their stylistic change - well that's a good way to get people to stop caring about your band.  Not to mention that the actual releasing of MISC was handled very badly with it being delayed several times, having confusing info on whether it was going to be digital only or physical, nearly no previews, and then Retsu with his "essence" and anti piracy antics at that time...  I think they effectively managed to push away a good proportion of their old fanbase with all that.
 
They might be getting some positive attention outside of Japan, and they seem to have prioritized that over Japanese fans anyway considering their international bookings and Retsu doing that one interview video in English lol, but COVID put a stop to those shows so what are they doing for their new fans now?  They released Kidoairaku on streaming services which is nice and all, but even their plans for an international merch store haven't quite worked out.  I get that this year has been really tough but I just question where they're going to get the money to keep going with this band.  They seem really inactive at the moment and that's usually not a good sign - even in these times.

they have one mathrock stan (that's you.) their other 9 former stans are in this thread. all other fans were blocked by retsu on twitter. if you do the math you'll see the 90:10 ratio I'm talking about!!

They haven't sold out any overseas shows before MISC was released and they only sold out in Brazil,I believe in February, a month after MISC was released and the other shows were still selling well and they even got a new Mexico date after MISC was released. 
 
Because believe it or not there are math rock fans and if Japanese math rock fans can't get Tricot or Sokoninaru to play in their country, Dimlim was close enough lol.

Where's your source of these numbers? If you can't give one, then it's also all speculation on your part. 

Uhm, you missed the part they sold out their show in Brazil and the other SA shows were close? It's not like Covid forced them to postpone all plans including their show at Shibuya Womb.They haven't played any song from MISC live yet. Anyway music is subjective and MISC has their most technical playing and showcases Sho's amazing clean vocals and range. 
 
Ryuya was a replaceable rhythm guitarist (support guitarist or backtracked 2nd guitars) that has no song writing credit, losing Taishi was a bigger lost but he had health issues and retired.While I do think they need to recruit a bassist, a female one would be better as there are a lot of talented female session bassist in Japan.

I don't think anyone here is aware, DIMLIM was 2nd place in the band division of a competition by Tunecore Japan and sponsored by PayNoah with Tom Smith of JPU records as one of the guest judges. From my understanding,the prize is the sponsor will pay some of the fee's and gives a right to the band to perform in a venue in the UK, the grand winner though gets an all expense paid live performance in the UK that will be awarded hopefully next year.

So how is it a downward spiral when the band is getting positive attention outside Japan? MISC is a great album and they finally  shed their D.I.D and Diru clone tag and Sho stopped trying to be Kyo 2.0.
 
Retsu leaving Dimlim equals to the band disbanding and a high possibility Sho retires from music. Reading their JaMe interview everyone is into the new music of MISC and I think Sho even had a hand in giving Retsu songwriting ideas and Hiroshi,I read somewhere wanted to sound like new Dezert and he got his wish somewhat.But from that interview, growls and breakdowns will one day comeback if they feel it's time to bring it back.
 
 
 
 

literally everyone knows j-indie is a tragic, no1curr genre that makes VK, another no1curr genre, look prosperous and worldwide present in comparison
exactly

dimlim base is literally 90 % vk 10 % jindie even if the latter part currently looks deceivingly more active because vk stans stopped caring.
 
the numbers never went up and retsu won't pull this band out of whatever state it is in alone x

Are you the one that Retsu blocked on Twitter?Seems you really hate him now lol. I've also seen your post in the Dexcore thread about Dimlim so I think you'll just trolling lol. 

Lets?

I left twitter years before your much admired ensemble formed x
