So finally after finding out the customs office made a mistake, I got my package on the last possible day.
I actually recorded an unboxing video too, but having some problems with rendering that thing and so on.
 
I hope I'll still be able to upload that thing - if not I've at least taken a picture of the whole thing:

It's a plague.
 
There are zero artistic intentions from these laughable look at me I'm so cool and dangerous Korean Kens and insecure slutty Korean girls in tight outfits singing those uninspired melodies on fruity loops level tunes. There have been several movements in music where the performers can be described as mere products rolling out of a factory and this can certainly be called a K-Pop factory and it's among the ugliest factories in history. No appeal, low quality.

You guys are having way too much pun in here.......
 
Next time I'll try to come up with something more original~

You can now listen to the new Tomahawk FNM album "Sol Invictus" over here: http://www.npr.org/2015/05/10/404672919/first-listen-faith-no-more-sol-invictus

FLARE UP STARE tracklist
  01. FLARE UP STARE 02. カタルシス詰まり  

Hello there.
 
I'm not too sure, how many people from Germany are even registered here, but I'll give it a try anyways.
I want to form a kind of vk-influenced band around Düsseldorf/Essen/Dortmund.
The plan is to create a unique sound, write songs, play lives and that stuff.
 
There's no concept for the band yet, so that's also something we would work on together.
 
So far we are vocals, bass and drums and we're searching for 1-2 guitarists and maybe some other instruments (keyboard? E-violin? etc)
 
 
 

After well over a year's worth of work, I'd like to present to you all: RarezHut! This is one of the first international store for used visual kei music. Myself, along with my two associates, have been working hard to deliver a store to meet the needs of the international visual kei community, offering a wide selection of products at a reasonable cost. At the moment, RarezHut has over 600 items for sale, each of which includes a listenable/watchable sample! We've got a total inventory of well over 2000 items and will be working hard over the coming months to deliver updates(at least once a month) with as many items as we can stuff in there. Currently available are a multitude of CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes and VHS spanning over 200 bands.
 
Features of the store include:
"Fuzzy search" system: when you search for a band, it'll pull up any other items available by bands with members from the band you searched for in addition. Listenable/watchable samples for every item to give you a little idea of what to look forward to. Newsletter: If you create an account, you can opt-in for our newsletter which details all of the recent additions and will be sent out the moment they're added to the site, allowing you to get first dibs on any new goodies! Remember: once they're gone, they're gone for good~ Digital copies: along with any cassette/VHS purchases, we offer high-quality digital copies free-of-charge. We realize that not everyone has the means to play these aging formats, but we aim not to let that get in the way of you being able to enjoy them! In an effort to make sure that buying goes smoothly, all items added will have the digital copies ready before addition so that packages can be shipped out on the next business day.  
Thanks for taking the time to look at this and we sincerely hope you enjoy the store(and whatever goodies you buy from it )! Given the small nature of the visual kei community, we rely on word-of-mouth for most of our advertising, so any friends you can tell about the store will help us immensely <3
 
If you've got any questions/comments/feedback, feel free to post them here or send me a PM and I'll try to reply ASAP~

He'll be writing the product spotlights on both our facebook and tumblr pages, so definitely go check them out because they're really awesome

I didn't read every post thoroughly, so I'll just state my opinion on it

Personally I really liked the "drastic" looks they had back then. Especially the hair - nowadays almost everyone seems to have his sujimori thing going. I miss the spikes and that stuff.
When it comes to the music nowadays there's an important part missing for me, which I hate when it's the genre alone: Punk! The bands back then used to have much more punk influences. Everything was kinda dirty and gritty (excluding lareine, baiser and the likes) - especially the guitars.
Those are the main things that I miss. I'm glad there are still some bands who go for that sound - sadly most I know aren't that great
 
I feel like all of this has been said already though (not only in this thread, but about everywhere )

^also thought it was about the music ~ it's becoming really bad and repetitive with all the generic metalcore + dubstep breakdowns imo

Been buying a lot of CDs lately. 
These are the most recent ones:
 
Je+Reviens - Ne'phesh
Sleep my Dear - phi
L'yse:nore - Crystal Wall

Could everyone just fucking stop using those two kanji? Pick something else.
 
Name yourself Beyonce. Hoards of drones will 'accidentally' buy your shit then.

So are you saying that Yuuki isn't a fan of Kiyoharu? Seriously?
 
I'm not a fan of SADS or Kuroyume or Kiyoharu himself, but I've heard a few songs and it's 100% sure that Kiyoharu has influenced Yuuki in every possible way a lot. Yuuki has had very similar looks and even sings in a way that resembles Kiyoharu a lot. I appreciate Yuuki a lot and I enjoy his way of singing, but you can not argue whether he is or has been influenced by Kiyoharu. It's the truth.

this, this, this, this!! he's an okay vocalist, but he lacks literally any appeal or individuality, like a lot of vk newcomers in the recent years.

I figure since it comes out tomorrow we might as well get a discussion topic going.
 
So who's all gonna get it and which copy are you getting, X, Y, or both? I've had my copy of X pre-ordered since last month and I just went and reserved one of the guide books today so I don't risk them selling out. I've been trying to avoid spoilers and leaks on the internet for the past few weeks but it's really hard not to be curious... I just get more and more excited when I see something new What's everyone most excited about? for me it has to be all the new mega evolutions xD
 
Oh and please no spoilers in this thread
