Terakoya just casually contributing to squashing the angura subgenre out forever .... they should've dropped the black swan tbh : )))))))))))))))))

I was just joking u guys............ come on, at this rate im gonna become the vk huffpost lmao (anyway i'm pretty sure Linda from KGF retired from the music scene (unfortunately) ) Real talk though, I would KILL to see a MERRY x KGF x Monokuro Kinema live (haha you prolly thought I'd say Marco here but I still don't like their vocalist oops), it's one of my VK dream lineups, but sadly it'll probably -never- happen

i still don't get what the hell is so amazing about beyonce tbh

the 3 man live is gonna be MERRY x Super Merries x a mysteriously revived Kyokutou Girl Friend

"no"

wow i love my rasen tape that i got for free from my dad who works at nintendo

I'm A Cyborg But That's Okay: As with all of Chan-Wook's films I've seen so far, I enjoyed this. Quirky and fun. At least half the entertainment came from looking at what the various insane characters were up to in the background. Beyond The Black Rainbow: I thought this was absolutely great in terms of visual style, some parts looked absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately the actual plot itself didn't do very much for me. Don't really know why some people tag it as a horror film either tbh, it doesn't ever really feel that way to me, somehow doesn't give me the same vibe. Frank: I absolutely LOVED everything about this one. I don't know why, but somehow this film really felt like it captured that 'struggling artist' feel exceptionally well. The song at the end's been stuck in my head for days. Great performances from everyone, too. Frankenhooker: top jej, could've gone with more blood though (several instances of people straight-up exploding into chunks but there's somehow no blood? come on, i mean, i know it's one of THOSE comedy-horror films, but..)

i hope when the countdown hits 0 they're gonna add akinori's face in the background in the style of this:

... Is Kyo doing cosplay of that one guy from Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show by Maruo?

yakuza ties strike again....................

I'm a part of what some people call the "alt-kei" and it feels punk as fuck. It feels like an actual counter culture, or rebellion against the VK culture that dominates American colleges. - Kamijo

SINGLES BTFO ONCE AGAIN... HOW DO THEY KEEP DOING IT

They already have 5 compilation albums without these new ones

The way the thread OP was worded made me think they'd come back to do a 'very special episode' dedicated to spreading anti-drugs awareness or some shit tbh....

damn can't believe they got mako to come out of retirement for this photoshoot

I feel like Finnish and Estonian both most definitely belong to that category of melodic languages, and in fact I've had more than one Estonian tell me that they believed some perceived similarity in ' linguistic flow' actually helped them to acquire Japanese and/or Korean at a faster & easier rate

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Here's an example of Dutch 'alternative' pop, I guess. In my opinion, it does sound a lot less 'rough' than German, but I think even German can sound good in certain contexts so w/e https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HIBf6vTVPo Unfortunately, as far as I know there's no native language-equivalent to The Novembers or anything like that, most shoegaze-y/dreampop bands tend to play in English, ex. thse guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbb0IYngK4g sorry for derailing the thread lmao

One thing connected to this whole language bias-based hypocrisy business I always thought to be funny is when people are like, SUPER insistent that they listen to Japanese music because they think 'the lyrics are deep'. I'll be up front by saying that IMO listening to music solely because of the lyrics is already kind of ??? in general, but this situation remains funny to me regardless. I guess it's mostly amusing because, quite often, the people exclaiming that kind of stuff don't even speak a single lick of Japanese outside of entry-level anime vocabulary and pretty much almost entirely base their opinions on translations that have most likely been done by some college student who's two or three months into their Japanese Culture BA sitting with a thesaurus on their lap in order to find the longest and fanciest words possible in order to translate their aidoru's "wooooooow i dont wanna go to bed at 9 pm mom im 12 now"-tier lyrics because only they truly understand their poetry

but we must keep in mind that some genres of music remain objectively better than others thanks
