Are you guys like allergic to shirts or something what the hell

I can hear you all the way from here, gaz. Calm down or you're going to pull a muscle or somethin' brah.

From the pace some people post in this topic I'm starting to think this thread should go to Toasted Waffles with no message increase value.
 
Get a twitter, you twats.

I keep finding dog hair in my make up items (even those sealed for hygiene reasons) so I've pretty much gotten used to thinking like "oops there's a dog hair getting into my eye, better get that shit off". Dog hair is an universal thing that just gets everywhere. It's in your food, make up, eye, mouth, bed, dishes, food again and most of all; there's more of it on you than on the dog.

Hmm... I don't think there's any particular "road", but I suppose there are a few different tiers. These only apply to VK bands in Tokyo, so I don't know how it'd be for others.
 
Tier 1:
This one is the lowest of the low and are where bands you've never heard of play at. This includes venues such as Urawa Narciss, Ikebukuro Cyber and Birth Shinjuku(formerly Holiday Shinjuku).
 
Tier 2:
Bands who play these venues generally(but not always) have a slightly bigger audience. Venues in this tier would be ones like the Ruido venues(K2, K3, K4), SHIBUYA-REX, Takadanobaba Area and Ikebukuro EDGE.
 
Tier 3:
Once bands have made it here, they are usually pulling in much larger audiences(these venues hold 500+ capacity). The big venues here would be Shibuya O-West, Shinjuku LOFT and Shinjuku BLAZE.
 
Tier 4:
There's probably a lot of mixing inbetween tier 3 and 4, but I'll consider tier 4 to be venues with 1000+ capacity. The livehouses here would be ones like Shibuya O-East(~1300), Akasaka Blitz(~1300), SHIBUYA-AX(~1500) and Zepp Tokyo(~2700).
 
Tier 5:
God-tier. If you've made it here, then you've pretty much made it as a band. This includes the biggest venues like Budokan(~14,000), Saitama Super Arena(~37,000) and Tokyo Dome(~56,000).
 
This is by no means a definitive guide, but should at least give you an idea on "how far" a band is along that road

I need to see if I still have it lying around somewhere, but I made an audio recording of blood's last live in Chicago. It really sucked, but there was one delicious nugget that was caught. About halfway through the concert, Kiwamu just stopped the music and everything and just raged hard shouting at this dude in the audience who was recording a video. He was leaning over the stage shouting like a god damned Yakuza... we totally thought he was going to jump down and rip the guy's face off/smash him with a chair.

How much does Japanese music add to your life?
For me, I'd say this is quite a lot. I've been a fan of VK for over 10 years now, run a VK store and have made one trip to Japan so far solely for the reason of VK concerts. I'd say that's definitely enough to say that it's contributed a ton to my life and the type of person I am today.
 
Would there be any benefits to not having it, like a heavier wallet or bigger bank account? Or is it just plain worth it?
Well, I certainly would have a lot more money without Japanese music XD Though with running a store, it's starting to even out more. Even without the store, I'd say it was totally worth the money I've put into it so far.
 
Do you have irreplaceable friends you found through Japanese music?
Nearly all of them. I'm a rather introverted person and I have trouble connecting with most "normal" people due to totally sucking at small talk. However, when it comes to other VK fans, that wall just seems to come crumbling down and I'm able to connect and befriend them pretty easily. It certainly doesn't hurt that I met my super amazing girlfriend though MH, which totally wouldn't have happened otherwise
 
Has it opened up your life more? Gave you an interest in Japanese culture? How would your interests change if you didn`t have this music?
I would definitely say so. If it hadn't been for getting into VK and meeting the people that I have through it, I doubt I would have done many of the things I've done today. It has probably directly led to me traveling around the world and experiencing cultures and places that I otherwise would not have without making the friendships that I have through VK. Without VK, I assume I'd probably still be into anime like I was before finding out about it and would probably still be listening to cheesy metal bands(not that I've stopped doing that since XD).

Second order; came in quick as usual. Didn't get a tracking number this time... I might have missed it; I've been busy with job shadowing, and moving stuff around. So it was kind of a surprise when I got it in the midst of building a drawer set.
 
This was a birthday order, so I got a lot more than I usually would order at any one time. I might have gotten more, but I needed some other stuff so I had to limit it quite a bit. Got more fliers; always really neat to have and now I need a clearfile for them all. Everything was well packed in bubblewrap, surrounded by the fliers in a box, so nice and secure.
 
See everything (including much better pictures of my last order and the fliers) here.

GOT MY STUFF TODAY SO FEEDBACK:

GONNA BUY AGAIN FOR SURE!
 

I agree with @Senedjem. There are indeed some important questions to be answered. Otherwise this will just be humankind playing god. And that ain't right.
 
First off, can it finally recharge my phone? I've heard I could recharge my phone if I put it in a microwave for 30 seconds but apparently my phone's battery just blew up. So can I recharge it with this new microwave? Also, will it fix my phone from what the previous microwave caused? That's important. I need to know this.

Hey, hold on now. Calm yer tits, everyone. 
 
 
Okay now, I don't understand people with scat fetish or sweat fetish or even fucking foot fetish, or even a fetish for god damn my little ponies. But it's not my place to say what is an alright form of sexuality and what is fucked up. Generally, any fetish is fucked up, really. You shouldn't have any. But who of us doesn't? My opinion is that ANYTHING is fine as long as it's fiction.
 
Are you moralizing furry fetishist as well? Because god damn I'd find it sick to fuck a dog. Yet there's furry porn and I don't think it's wrong at all. I don't think it "sexualizes" animals. I don't think it increases the amount of zoophiles out there. If someone can suppress their sexual frustration towards little girls by reading lolicon, hell, let him keep it! I'd rather have creepy guys read fictional child porn than search for more "alive" material, like other people's kids on a beach photos, or worse, start acting upon their urges. That's what I imagine would happen in Japan if lolicon was banned. People wouldn't be just like "Oh well now I realize what I was doing wrong all along. I now lack a fetish for little girls. Praise Jesus." Do you see that happen? Really? Do you?
 
Yes, I think child molesters and confined paedophile should be fucking castrated, but unless they've done something to a child, or at least seriously considered doing something to a child, I've nothing against them and neither should you. Different people like different things and have different urges. A good person is determined by knowing which of them is okay to act upon. 

That's not a Japanese-only thing though. Just look at Toddlers & Tiaras and/or the whole child beauty pageant scene as a whole.
