.... Isn't this like the third or fourth time at this point that they've ceased activities?

no more terrible quality rips that also are mislabeled with shuuji 2 vocals🙌🙌 

Man.. I always leave then find myself back here a few years later. 
 
Honestly I'm not even really sure where I am with vkei at this point. I stop listening to it then suddenly some new band comes on my radar then I'm obsessed with it again.
 
I'm really into bands that sound like Adapter., Transistor Kirac, Metronome, XYXX, Iceman, P-Model, Uchoten, Kyokutou Girlfriend, Kibouya Honpo, Ippu-Do and Speecies. I'm also obsessed with finding all female or female fronted bands. A few I really like are Aldious, Headphone Baby, Necro Circus, Satanyanko, Gusya Ningen, dr.tarantula, Dagashi Kashi, Show Ya and Kyaa-.
 
I'm not really sure what else to write but I'm pretty interested in finding new music and meeting new people and all the other usual stuff (re)joining a forum usually entails. 
 
 
 

Okay, not a "new" new band, but:
 

 
“DIR EN GREY Ambient Collection" available on music subscription portals!
 
DIR EN GREY will be releasing 'DIR EN GREY Ambient Collection' on various music portals.
As a first one we get the well known version of 'Ranunculus' that was used as the ending theme for their concerts.
By playing an album on repeat on music streaming websites you can help support your favourite artist.
You can listen to it as a BGM while working, studying, reading or before going to bed.
There are plans to add more music in the future, so we hope you will stay tuned!

The parts are all about 30 seconds long.

not my most recent but my most recent vk related purchase 

the cds are going to @Tokage 🤷‍♀️

Loving that questionnaire on the disc interior but I'm really wondering about that 29% of Japanese people who responded with "Hell Yeah" when asked about their thoughts on necrophilia though 👀

you know your brain's been exposed to too much politics when your mind autofilters the bandname to THE BLACK LIVES MATTER BAND

I ain't saying anything... but pictures don't lie.

I would also like to credit @Tokage as an enabler of buying cali≠gari
 

 
A part of me feels like I could have done more. I was also eyeing a copy of the オヤスミナサイ re-recording EP for ¥8,200, which is a ridiculous price, but still tempting considering how it normally goes for ¥14,000, but someone else took it 🙄
 
憧憬、睡蓮と向日葵 I got for a bargain of ¥2,700 and I'm so glad I did. I've really grown to appreciate this mini album over the past few days, and the artwork and packaging are absolutely beautiful!
 
The BUCK-TICK CDs (except BT BEST TRACKS) are beat the fuck up; SSL has hairline cracks on its irreplaceable case, Six/Nine's disc was atrociously filthy, I actually had to spray/wipe it down, and 狂った太陽 was in absolutely nightmarish condition (which is fine because I only bought it to make scans).
 
If you're wondering why American filth is included in this picture, I got all this stuff in the mail same day. I'm just waiting for my Japanese version copy of boris' "soundtrack from film" マブタノウラ, I was hoping it would have arrived in time for this ~photoshoot~ but it's ~still~  in Portugal, thank you coronavirus!

@Tokage keeps sending me mercari links i think he wants me to go bankrupt

No matter how hard I try, I can't get over this video of Ryutarou using a FUCKING POTATO PEELER to skin a mango wtf
And then he tries to cut the mango in half lmaoooo
 

n0pe i refuse any responsibility!! that's all you u.u
but i mean any streams or anything i'm happy to write any details if i watch them but i dont really know if people really need the tidbits like "ao, which do you prefer guitar or dick?" "WOW THAT'S TOO DIFFICULT. THINK OF MY PUBLIC IMAGE" (aie then asked if he could go home lolll)
 
I love goatbed, but that's no surprise since for my main musical tastes I lean towards new wave/synthpop/piko piko shit, etc thanks to like 10 years of Tokage giving me recommendations.
...but i'm in no rush to complete the goatbed discography or anything. I'm happy to just nod along when the ishiiz play songs i dont know lmao
from what i can tell shuuji is a lot more energetic during goatbed though and that's fun to watch👀
 
I recently filled out my cali gari collection & have 99% of that listing if I'm not mistaken & it looks like what i'm missing is mostly already sold. but thanks!
 
I mean with a picture like that how could I not put bananaman as my icon??
and to be fair, I never said I dont like Grandma Ao!! 😂 Ao cracks me up with all the ridiculous crap that comes out of his mouth. 
& a lot of the ao vocal tracks are A++ Shinjuku Elekiter is my jam
 
yeah, i expect it to be postponed too but I'm not that invested in it for various reasons including not having a ticket to begin with.
Then again, I won the lottery to go see goatbed the other day even though I didn't have a ticket for the original live in April(??) so who knows
