Every Major band has a fanclub, who release a lot of fc (limited) stuff. also if you wanna be in a fanclub you have to pay lots of money each year and the stuff you can buy as FC member are also not that cheap.  

Well, some people just love to follow their bands. if LOUDNESS does tour in Europe or America always a bunch of fans also will visit a bunch of lives. 

But that's more a matter of "having time"  a mid class money person can do it. 

But of course if you are very very rich you always have time for such tour. haha. 

Let's also take into account the kind of band though, because Japanese Rich Kids aren't likely to listen to rock music in general, unless it's really poppy, or was popular in the 80's and 90's and has a member who has connections to mainstream pop music *cough* X *cough*. While a band's merch may be expensive, their fanbase could mostly just be people who buy them at a discount. So I'd say it'd have to be a band that is pretty normie compared to other Vkei bands and really popular (remember that rich kids in Asia are normie as fuck), while also having expensive merch. 

I'd say X Japan, because they're basically famous, and have their share of expensive merch.

Is Sukekiyo Vk tho?

Good, not great. 

so....SHOEGAZEY

Fucking Barglar, man. 15 demos, 9 EPs, 5 full-lenghts, 4 compilations and some other shit released since 09. But from their first demo in 09 and until 2014 they only released that one demo. The rest has come between 2014-17. 

I can't decide on if I think they are utter fucking shit, hilariously bad or pretty decent (at times).

Kyouka who?????

@VkBrutaliaN just for you

Called it. Rip

yep, guess it was inevitable w/ the whole sudden burst of popularity

Their old singles also had the best artwork ever.. I had to follow them even when I thought the thing was gonna be over in a year, I'm glad they're still around I actually thought this single was just really soft still kinda good  lol I also am listening to Memai now tho so...

Yaaay~

a lot of wife's with kids  

http://cosmosphere-official.net/

but seems that lately they have a vocalist again. 

closest thing I know is NoGoD releasing an instrumental track in all their albums lol VK probably requires a frontman to get interest from the bangyas

Hizaki's solo work is all instrumental. But if you don't like his style, I suppose that won't do anything for you.

My #humbleOpinion is that vkei bands tend to stick to 5-member lineups because it looks good in promo pics and it means more checkis and ~personalized~ merch they can sell, so having no face of a band wouldn't work.

Die in Cries were AMAZING

controversial onion: i think i may actually like Die in Cries more than Kyo's stuff with D'erlanger pre-reunion

I did used to play it a LOT though lol

i mean it IS quite a good cover, prob. the greatest instance of Diru doing the whole ''sludgier'' sound imo, but i still feel like most ppl sayin that kind of stuff fell for the whole 'heavier automatically means better' thing

Reita's only legit pic with his nose out. 

itsbritneybitch

wow this guy was sure in a lot of bands he must be cool as hell!!!!! maybe i will listen to him!!!!

Holy crap glad you're OK

oh my goDDDDD do u tihnk it was ur "did you know that even with seatbelts…" profile line manifesting itself

anyway I'm glad you're okay, take care x

holy shit, meme magic IS real 

im still surprised nobody managed to get hurt tho, that bus was still p. dead

Why the fuck would it not be good?

@fitear1590I absolutely love everything about Studiopolis  and Press Garden. Both zones are so fucking beautiful. The latter actually reminds me a bit of the old Shinobi games, I'm guessing it must be intentional. Stardust Speedway is great as well. Actually, I've enjoyed just about every zone in the game so far, maybe w/ the sole exception of Lava Reef Zone... Great game though, between games like Shovel Knight, Environmental Station Alpha and Sonic Mania the last couple of years have been VERY good for people into the retro aesthetic

@YuyoDriftWell, tbh most of the recent Sonic games have been less than stellar, so I'm not surprised people have been cautious about the whole thing pre-release, but the actual end product is just gorgeous. Makes me wish more people would stop following the whole "it's 3d so it must be better!"-meme that a lot of the gaming industry seems to be stuck in. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate 3D or anything, but even the PS1 era already showed how much tight shit one could do with sprites and all on new hardware and yet its still generally overlooked (except by indie devs)

its a great game. i bought it for the nintendo switch a while back

coincidence? I THINK NOT!

wow
