I like Kaede's boots. That's all I have to say.

I agree that quarter life is the strongest song from that set. Converge - The Lowest Common Denominator MEJIBRAY - Contagion lynch. - SHADOWZ アンド - BLINDNESS Cloudkicker - Skulking in the Woods BORIS - Angel The Used - Sick Hearts OZ - Strings D - 知られざる子供達 Wrong Way To Die - Heartless Chests It's a tie between the Converge and OZ song. The Lowest Common Denominator is some creepy shit that I'm totally living for; the only lyrics are quite fittingly, "everything is not going to be okay." SHADOWZ was pretty awful, but I think it inspired Tokami's "Radiant" which is a song that I love. Sometimes VK plagiarism can work in the plagiarising band's favour (taking a sub-par song and making it better).

Okay, so this week's episode, I REALLY wanted Scarlet Envy to bomb the challenge and sashay away, her interviews were just so annoying and pretentious, and talking about how she was gonna win the season and that she was a fORce tO BEe REckONed WiTh or whatever. Usually when a queen talks like that in an interview, I expect her to go home that episode. I forgot what else happened, I think James Charles 2.0 started talking shit about Silky, who turns out has a master's degree in organisational leadership or something. I vaguely remember enjoying Vanjie in the acting challenge and her runway was better than Scarlet's just saying

Ew, why does this vkeifanexpozed account exist? Especially on Instagram? Why Instagram? Every post is just some shitpost quality screenshot of fucking twitter or YouTube. Just about every post is bitching about piracy (some lukewarm tea you got, "sis") and somehow trying to connect it to YouTube. And their logo. Good lord, that logo they dedicated an entire post to, what a fucking eyesore. It looks worse than a cover for a metalcore demo disc from 2002. And OMG their Twitter page is even worse. If you don't want to be annoyed to death, stay away.

You lost me at live limited. That is so 2012

I know I said I wasn't gonna watch season 11, but I saw the list of judges to appear and changed my mind. The entrance was a horrible way to meet the queens. Some people I kinda liked, others I hated, others left no impression at all. Shuga Cane and Honey Davenport are hella fucking cute as guys. I don't really care for Honey's attitude, though. Mercedes was just ugh whatever, “more like a Buick” indeed! Scarlet's intro made me roll my fucking eyes. Ariel Versace out of drag kinda looks like James Charles, and it makes me want to fucking vomit. She does have the best entrance outfit though, she’s the only one with a noteworthy entrance look. As the episode progresses, I don't hate her as much, but the sight of his face just pains me. For the photography challenge, it was great seeing some past queens. Loved Jasmine’s dress, it paired well with Shuga's look. My favourite shots were Plastique x Sonique and Yvie x Adore. To quote Derrick Berry, “we’re showing everything but good taste!” Runway Results: these were very easy to predict, the judges' critiques clearly gave away who was up for elimination and who would win. Minus the bottom three, everyone turned it the hell out this runway! Other notes: If you hated Silky, watch Untucked! You might, just might, have a change of heart. She's by far less obnoxious than she was in the wËRQrüÜm “Ms. Vanjie” count: 3 (one by Ru, one by Miley, one by some douchey queen) We need RaPal Dark Res season 11

脳壊ス was robbed I'm looking forward to 彼彼 and DOUBT the most, I hope we get a full PV soon! I wish they would have remixed the other single tracks to freshen them up, they were my least favourite, so I would have liked the album versions to have something new. As for the selection of singles, I sort of wonder if b-side 水槽 would have worked with the album better than 毒虫. While I'm still nitpicking, I'm not into the key change in サイレン (the chorus), though it wouldn't be a コドモドラゴン song without a key change. Having said all of that, I'm still confident this will be better than WOLFMAN, and perhaps on par with 下剋上。

It's been 11ºC in the California bay area for the past two months. I envy you! As much as I love rain and all, I'm sick of the cold. Anyway, I checked my phone, don't worry, London will be back to 11ºC and pouring in another day

What is this? The post-rock version of Supreme?

So are they just dropping each song one by one? 😂

I've been hella sleeping on this band since I got into visual kei. I'm trying to change it, though. For a few years now, I've had some of their newer albums sitting on my hard drive, but never really listened to them. I've previewed them, it's why I downloaded them, but I just never made them a priority. And despite all of that, I just had to go on a download spree and get MORE. And now I have CATALOGUE 87-99 ('cause I'm not sure if I'll like their early sound) and every album released since 2000. So now I'm trying to think of how I want to go into this, because there is so much here. I previewed some tracks from albums since 13階は月光. I'm kinda digging what I hear. The only album I'm not so sure of is "memento mori;" I previewed songs off that album and it kinda gave "dad rock" vibes, which I'm not into. Of course I would download 11 albums and a 40+ song compilation from a band of which I've only heard three songs in full. Of course.

^ I would buy that. I don't even really like that mini and I would buy it! I come up with a lot of vinyl ideas in my head, but I never make mockups because they will probably never happen so why bother I have poor photoshop skills #graphicdesignismypassion But speaking of the GazettE, I did come up with a vinyl mockup for DIVISION: Side B, FRAGMENT [ARTERY] ~ black on white 　　　　　 Side A, FRAGMENT [VEIN] ~ white on black Single vinyl, limited edition tracklist, one side of the cover appears upside down so you see one cover, flip it over, and get another cover. There'd just be one sticker on each side of the shrink-wrap with the barcode, label logo, etc. so there's no obvious back cover. I am very impressed in my ability to get all those lyrics onto a single sheet and still leave room to eventually put the credits Random ideas I haven't visually conceptualised (yet?):

I don't give a shit about X Japan. I've never listened to them and I have no desire to start.

Like ADORATIO, it'll be an album, they just won't admit it. Even with the one disc re-issue of ADORATIO, they referred to it as 音源集 (sound collection). With this album, they'll probably do the same as they did last time: $80 2CD+Blu-ray version in May/June, then 1CD re-issue/iTunes dist. in November.

Monet didn't deserve to win. I felt she was doing well and deserved to be in the top four, but she did not deserve to be in the top two. She lost my vote after that pink """cat""" couture costume (looked more like a pig suit). I would have rather seen Monique lip-syncing with Trinity. Especially with that bullshit double-crowning. If it was Trinity vs. Monique, yeah, I would have had a difficult time deciding too, I would have said "fuck it, condragulations both of you" but, Monet? Really? I was really rooting for Naomi (I totally have a crush on out-of-drag-Naomi and hella wanna make out with him), but she still got critiqued in the deliberation when everyone else got "she's beautiful she's perfect," so I knew she would stay top four and not lip-sync. As for Season 11, nobody interests me so far. There's too many people. I loved the Miss Vanjie meme, but that's in the past now, that was a season 10 thing. Let's hope she doesn't try to dig it back up. Speaking of which, I never even finished season 10... ETA: WE DO NOT NEED ALL-STARS FIVE 👏🏻 (unless it was an all-winners season, except Booboo Zahara Bidet was already on AS3 and apparently Tyra is blacklisted from the franchise?)

They released another new song, called "Everything" I'm not feeling this. I hope this is the worst track on the album! The album will be released on 13 March. Here's the artwork: Tracklist 1. TOKYO 2. BAD DREAM 3. Everything 4. plastic 5. DOWN TO HEAVEN 6. Zoning 7. Ghost Rider 8. Close To Me 9. ANGELS

Available on Spotify in Japan, and probably soon for the rest of the world: It's not too Jazzy, but it is rather heavy. Dare I say, heavier than 脈拍? All in all, a solid album! My thoughts so far: 壊れたピアノ: it's that 'creepy' piano melody from the preview vid サイコ: the verse sounds like a heavier パノラマ, punky chorus, great breakdown in the middle, great fast MUCC heaviness アイリス: a bit slower, has a cool surf-y intro, but 'reggae' verses that I FUCKING LOATHE, everything else is good though 😒 ヴァンパイア: It's kind of bland, just a typical piano ballad. One of the more jazzy songs, so i'll give it credit there In the shadows: not sure how I feel about the rapping here, but everything else is great, back to slow MUCC heaviness, ffo EMP 積想: And we've got another ballad. This one is beautiful, just fucking beautiful, this is where they bring out all the strings. 百合と翼: ZERO jazz here, but I love the main riff here, I can't think of much to say other than that it's a cool song カウントダウン: the chorus is utagoe garbage and the verses are generic mid 2000's fast MUCC. Why did this song have to be the longest? Living Dead: great piano melody, great "slow grand finale" feel to it If you love MUCC unconditionally, you will L O V E this album If 脈拍 was not heavy enough for you, I think you'll like this If you expect cali≠gari level avant-garde, wtf-ery experimentation, you will be disappointed

Now available on OTOTOY TYPE A: https://ototoy.jp/_/default/p/241070 TYPE B: https://ototoy.jp/_/default/p/241071 Everything here sounds great! Didn't think I was gonna like 断頭台から愛を込めて, but it sounds marvellous! Judging by the previews, this mini should surpass VERSUS. First song on both types are great, I can't decide which one is a better opener.

Don't worry, I wouldn't expect Ari to discover VK at any point in this lifetime. However... ... sukekiyo will cover "God is a woman" Not a nightmare, I am totally here for VK x Drag Race cross-contamination, HoNEeeY~ 🤢🤮🤮🤮

I'm not much of a show goer, but whenever a band I like is in the bay area (not often), I always want to go... but something gets in the way... I've missed out on seeing the GazettE in April 2016 and The Number Twelve Looks Like You (w/ Arsonists Get All The Girls) in December 2018 because I was working and couldn't get the shifts covered. I also missed out on BORIS the last few times they were in SF because I had school; the shows would always be in the end of August, on a day that I had class, in the late afternoon. Last June, I kinda wanted to see ザアザア when I was in Osaka (I mainly just wanted to get a live-limited CD that was at the show). I think it was some tour with DADORAMA. I was in town and very close to the venue, but I just decided not to. Why? I was by myself and had no idea what to do, I must have had a lot of questions I wouldn't have been able to ask in Japanese, and I just felt the anxiety of it all, so I just thought, "uhhhhhh let's do something else today." 🤦🏻‍♂️

The only song I've heard there is the 黒百合と影. I do recognise a few other band names though, just never got to listening to them. Between The Buried And Me - Lost Perfection: a) Coulrophobia Between The Buried And Me - Lost Perfection: b) Anablephobia DIAURA - If ザアザア - 雫 the GazettE - DISTRESS AND COMA Variable Messiah - 転生の果てで THE GAZETTE - LUCY Plastic Tree - サーカス (Live Arrange Version) DEATHGAZE - abyss [from THE CONTINUATION] THE NOVEMBERS - 236745981 I! Was! Shook! That iTunes kept both parts of Lost Perfection together! Coulrophobia and 236745981 are the top two. I'm thinking about deleting DIAURA's If because it's kind of bland; their cover of endless loop is way better.

Wow does this take me back. I went through something quite similar two years ago. ...... You seem to be handling this better than I did... and you've gotten further than I did When the guy in my story stopped texting me, I got angry-sad about it, and whenever he'd come back, I'd think I'd have forgiven him, but then I'd get angry again, for the first year I had no idea how I felt about him as an individual, I totally flip-flopped. At the end of the year, I wanted to meet up with him and try to reconnect like you did, but then I saw a new guy in his Snapchat story, and it looked like they were being all cutesy and shit, which really bothered me. A week goes by, I stop kicking the air, delete him on social media, and declare hatred. Another year later, today, that hatred completely fizzles out into "I don't know her" Enough of my rant, yes it's okay to ask if he's seeing someone else. As for continuing a relationship with him, definitely do not pursue dating this guy any further. Just don't! If you think you can be platonic friends with him, not resent him for being out of touch, and most importantly, stomach the sight of him being serious with someone else, go for it. And if you ever have the opportunity to, tell him about your feelings, at least for the sake of clearing the air. Be honest with him. However, if you have even the slightest problem with a strictly platonic friendship, drop his ass. If he can't make time for you, he doesn't deserve you. Plain and simple!

I usually don't make plans for Valentine's Day, because I've always been alone, and I still am, but because I have nothing going on that day, I thought I'd make plans. I think I'm gonna spend the day drinking an entire bottle of red wine, binge eating candy, and watching movies, ones that have little to no romance. And I might ignore everyone on social media who is in a relationship. Or maybe I'll drink whiskey... or vodka... wine is great and all, but being wine drunk lasts FOREVER and it's fucking annoying.
