    Cringing like I've never cringed before. Life was better before this image barged into my life

    People like that ^ make me NOT want to introduce VK to any of my friends. If you're gonna be the poster-person of 2010's VK, let it die.

     

    Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure it wasn't ever really "alive." I think there was just a point in time when it was widely recognised by gaijin weebz who have abandoned it for the evil, abominable k-pop, and have become koreaboos.

    @Seimeisenwhat makes you say HJ is dated?? (i'm curious because it's my primary source of learning, and i hope i'm not getting the wrong information from it....)

    That could be a false assumption on my part. None of the information seems incorrect, the app itself just hasn't been updated by the developer in a few years (at least the free version).

    この場所を知らなかった！

     

    この・ばしょ・を・しらなかった！(I didn't know about this place)

     

    I will be going through pretty much every link posted in this thread. I'm planning on going to Japan next July for a few weeks, and I want to learn as much of the language as possible before that. I know I won't be fluent by then, but hopefully I'll know enough to get by. (?)

     

    • I'm planning on getting a lifetime membership at TextFugu
    • I registered to Wanikani a long time ago and still need to start that
    • Lately I've been using a rather dated iPhone app called Human Japanese (which is an app adaptation of a textbook, I think)
    • Another iPhone app I use is imiwa? - a kanji dictionary based off of WWWJDIC

     

    I really encourage everyone to phase out of romaji and start using hiragana/katakana. It will take some time, but it's definitely easier than kanji. I having charts to refer to, like this one. Arguments I've read against the use of romaji are usually backed up by some connection to how some learners (fail to) pronounce the language, but I don't think a writing system should affect how one pronounces something. I personally discourage the use of romaji for one simple reason: native speakers don't really use it (except for some things, like web URLs). If you want to get serious about learning Japanese, why use romaji?

     

    Also, I just have to say, I've sort of reached a point where if I see something in kana (and maybe some kanji) I can read it fairly well, but if it's romaji, it just kinda looks like blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah. I usually only use romaji if it's one or two words in an English sentence. Because mixing writing systems might look 異様.

     

    Also [2], I found this kana development chart

    That live footage was quite impressive, actually! I was expecting an AvelCain-caliber mess, but it was rather on point. I'm still unsure about actually buying the release because of the CD content. I don't like that they aren't including 異常な階段, and are leaving out 眩暈 (yes, it's a Garnet cover with different lyrics, but I like it) and Chemical Drip Cherry Pie. If they wanted two more songs to trash from the comp, they could have chosen リリィさんの美容整形術 and 告白.

     

     

    or they could have left in *all* songs, intros aside

     

    ETA: They could have just done a 2CD set:

     

    Disc 1: Singles/Live-dist tracks
    Intro
    「眩暈」
    「切断」
    遮光事実
    MONSTER
    「不透明人間」
    チョコレートクリームチェーンソー

    「変態」
    「おはよう」
    Ghost

    異常な階段

    Disc 2: Mini-albums
    Human Soup
    「絶蘭」
    メリーさんの自殺未遂
    脳みそくん。
    さくらの詩
    ストロベリー・シンドローム
    「死刑宣告」
    ケミカル・ドリップ・チェリーパイ
    リリィさんの美容整形術
    「告白」
    肋骨少女
    「遺書。」

    i am so pleased by this in one listen already!! *0*

    hallelujah <333 i'm in heaven

    ai wa nakenashi sounds like an old record

    anata o aishitai is a my bloody valentine tribute

     

    the whole album is both sweet and noisy, and it has a hint of nostalgia altogether.

    highly my aoty

    Haven't heard the YT stream. So, should I expect a crossover of Rhapsody In Beauty and Elegance? If so, I'm intrigued!

    Can't wait for my copy to ship!

     

    Oh, and of course, it's now available for pre-order on iTunes (worldwide probably): https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hallelujah/id1137911435
