*buys plane ticket to Japan for 9.2.2012* You've gotta be kidding. I'm so God damn jealous of everyone that will be in that room.

Knowing him, he would probably sell it to me.. Print up a new fucking copy and sell it to me for twice the price lmao.

they would largely be not profitable. if they have 3000 fans in tokyo, they will do most of touring in small clubs and maybe one tour final concert in a concert hall if they have 5000 fans scattered all over americas, 4000 in Chile and 700/300 for NA/Canada respectively, they won't even get their transportation expenses back. like despairs' flop taught people nothing. Ahh, I see... I gotcha. That sucks big time.

Oh, I see! Well that's okay, I don't mind waiting, I just needed a ETA on the single. I'm actually looking forward to it.

Lol, THIS!!! Can anyone tell me when their new single comes out? Blood's? I thought it was this week.

Wonder why my post and the other one aren't appearing here... weird... Anyway, I love Blood's early stuff... I'd say everything up to and including Les Fleurs du Mal was amazing to me. After that it got sloppy and annoying (How they considered Lost Sky to be a full album but it was maybe 4 new songs, an outro, an old song redone, and a million remixes... Bitch please.) I'm forever longing for another song as perfect as Sakura, I Remember You, or Wings of the Rebellion.

Definitely could be, I won't contest that. It almost seems like VK has a bigger audience outside Japan than within Japan. You'd think there'd be more shows/tours in NA then.

I'm gonna say something a bit opposite. I'm glad he left the band because I don't particularly like his voice :X It just rubs me the wrong way. I hope BLOOD continues and gets a better singer. Although I have heard Kiwamu is just awful to work with haha.

Just want to throw my hat into this ring for a minute: I actually LOVED Mar Maroon XD, I know it's the unpopular opinion, but it's at least a fun album. I like it in the springtime. Diamond I also actually enjoyed, but not nearly as much as Mar Maroon, but I have to agree that Seven is my favorite (albeit the mixing IS pretty weird. I hate HATE HATE how the songs end in the beginnings of other songs.) I can't believe people actually bought 12012 though. @relentless - Obviously they aren't as big or famous as say... I don't know Led Zeppelin, but they're kind of big in the scene. I'd say they have a considerable fanbase, most if not all of the people into the VK subculture probably know who they are.

Thanks so much for the translation! As for the countdown, if there are previews... It's got to be an album! I would be so damn excited. I mean either way world tour or album I'm excited as long as I can actually attend the tour. If X and Luna Sea go on tour this year and I see them I would die a happy man.

QUICK QUESTION: Whatever happened to xTRiPx? Not to change the subject, I'm just totally curious. Never read anything about their disbandment or hiatus, just stopped hearing about them. Will check this out though, I LOVE xTRiPx

Sounds great! Very excited

LOVE THE TYPE C!!!!

Well it's still a whole month away and more. Maybe it'll release in early April.

Does this mean an album of original content is coming this year? I'm still shaky on all the details of what they're actually doing. But either way I'm still TOTALLY in love with the song.

I've never heard their stuff before, but everyone seems to go ape shit for them so I'll definitely check it out. LOVE the title.

My track by track is up at ShanethVarosa.Tumblr.com. I usually say "read if you want" but I'm actually proud of the little rant I had at the end XD I was overall disappointed in the album not by it's badness, but in how indifferent I was. Most of the tracks were just uninspiring, but the silver lining was Fortitude. That, imho, was a really outstanding song.

Can't really tell what everyone's thoughts on the new album announcement are, lol. Seems extremely mixed or uncertain, but I LOVE them. I actually consider Toxic and Dim my favorite of their albums. Very much looking forward to Division. It's a single-less album right?

That PV was easily the worst I have honestly ever seen. I mean I literally don't have anything positive to say about it, cheap Dir knock off (not just saying that to say it, it's really what it looks like) and just... disgusting. Disgusting is cool from some bands and artists, but when I listen to their best work (which imho is Mar Maroon and Diamond) this is revolting and disappointing. The song ITSELF though isn't as dismal as the PV. The instrumentals are actually QUITE amazing and the chorus is really good too. But dem growlz gaiz... Like why.

Those fucking things never work for me! They always take too damn long to load. But Useless Sun I've heard and it's okay. Ring the Death Knell is pretty good, but everything else I'll just wait to hear.

Suiren didn't sound so bad actually!

I see! Well, I'm listening to it now and I'm totally in love.

Hmm, actually I didn't hate Ferocious that much! Not mind-blowing, but not as bad as some of the other ones.

Downloading it now, is it the whole song? And a good quality version of it? How did it get leaked? Lol I'm so confused! Is there a single cover released yet??

Wow Fortitude was great! At least I have positive expectations for one song. Madman was kinda total crap though.
