    Happy Birthday, 絲さん!! :D

    Here we go!

    I alway think to myself that I want drag queens to start a black metal band, but then I remember we have visual kei ... that kinda counts, right?

      Madeth Gray'll is almost sorta kinda close enough? lol

      don't ask me why but these guys sound somehow like the middle point between black metal & nagoya kei
      not sure if that's anything like what you were looking for when you made the update lol but they're a quality band i don't think enough people know about

      Drag culture and VK culture thankfully have very little in common.

    I did some math and 61.2% of the songs in my iTunes library are Japanese. The percentage of Japanese artists is 58.66%. 157.95GB of a total 258.83GB

      Out of curiosity, how'd you do the math? :o I could do something similar by counting all the songs I have under the genre tag "visual kei" and probably like half of the songs i have tagged "emo" or "screamo", as that's the most of 'em, but I'll still miss a lot of other stuff.

      For the grouping field, I use national regions, e.g North America, Europe, Japan, Australia. I also have grouping tags for VK, doujin (trying to cut down on that shit tho), and Bandcamp for some reason

      oooo that's smart

    I didn't know lack-co had an album out. Guess I gotta check them out now

    I FINALLY decided which version of PINK (2016) I'm getting on vinyl. VINYL_V1_ASIDEPMS206_BSIDEPMS706_1024x10

    I just spent ¥9,000 on XIBALBA's collection album... that's how insane I am. My first time bidding on an auction with other bidders and I won! :D

    1. Komorebi

      Komorebi

      I really thought about getting it but I saw other people bidding on it and I chickened out lol

    2. Keiyuu

      As long as you're not spending 18.000+ on a 2-track demotape you're still in the sane zone, I'd say. :D

    I will never get over how atrocious those covers for the new lynch. album are. They all look like web store place holder images

    1. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      They are exceptionally bad. I don't get it - Their covers are usually pretty nice.

    If ANGELS isn't the best NOVEMBERS album EVER, I'm gonna be kinda mad ngl

    1. Seimeisen

      Seimeisen

      I'm just dying of suspense here. They talk about the upcoming ANGELS tour on twitter ALL THE TIME, but almost never mention anything about the actual album. No release date, no tracklist, nada. They're mastering the album today apparently.

    2. Seimeisen

      Seimeisen

      But I can't get my hopes up! In 2016, 黒い虹 had me hyping as fuck for Hallelujah, that song was amazing and still is, but then the album came and the rest of it disappointed me. I think I only listened to it a few times.

    3. CAT5

      CAT5

      Yeah, 'Hallelujah' was pretty much the same for me - I haven't found myself returning to it at all. Their sound just seems so constrained on that album

    Is anyone else arbitrary about keeping some obi strips and throwing others away?

    1. YuyoDrift

      YuyoDrift

      I really don't care honestly.

      I'm more interested as to why you would throw them away.

      Is there a reason to, if it makes no difference?

    2. Seimeisen

      Seimeisen

      I usually only throw them out if they're damaged (cut/torn), but sometimes I might throw one out if it's entirely blank.

    3. YuyoDrift

      YuyoDrift

      Ah.

      I guess the same goes for the other slips of paper that can come along with a CD/Game case.

       

      As a person who buys used video games/cds, seeing those kinds of things when I open up my cases, really adds to the nostalgia factor. Like, reading those little slips with DLC Codes or a flyer for something else coming out soon (even though it was "1995" lol), gives me a mental picture of what that year was like and , and makes the purchase more enjoyable.

    It feels very 2008 to download a release to find it has romaji tags and low-res artwork

      One of the greatest frustrations one can have.

      Whatever you think happened, it's Shimizuya's fault.

    Katatonia's "The Fall Of Hearts" has killed me. I'm dead. Album of the year, end of discussion.

    1. CELESTIAL CIEL

      CELESTIAL CIEL

      oh! haven't listened their stuff for ages

  17. Seimeisen

    Lately whenever a VK band announces a single, I just think, "oh fuck off, announce a new album or GTFO"

    1. Kira_Uchiha

      Kira_Uchiha

      True, especially if that single comes in several fucking editions to milk as much money as they can.

    mirth-fuelled revulsion

    No better time to buy shit from Japan when my currency (USD) is falling off a cliff 🙃

      long gone are the days in which $1 was equivalent to 120+ yen T~T

    2. Seimeisen

      Seimeisen

      I'll never forget the glorious 5 minutes in 2015 when USDJPY was ~¥125

       

      Still much better than 2012 when it got as low as 75

  20. Seimeisen

    Now let's see how many days it takes to rip these 40 CDs...

    2. Ito

      Ito

      It's almost like I should have done a Plastic Tree one earlier... XD
      (also, that D'espa one was absolutely my first thought when I was starting these oldschool banners.)

  23. Seimeisen

    2. Seimeisen

      Seimeisen

      Just the second album, and the fifth one which I don't remember too much of. My favourite from their second is probably 葵.
