The Bread Wolf

I think the most disturbing thing about the thread is that the girls frequently go "oh I was raped by this and this lol". Makes me think they weren't raped at all. Even if it's been years, who'd say "lol" about their rape experiences. I kinda get the one who said she got money taken from her purse being all lol about it, because these were prolly some high school or college girls with practically no money. But rape? Nah. Not even in Japan.

Key part is that they actually DO have those instruments. And once you have an instrument, you can record it solo just like you would with a band. Every single instrument is recorded individually, not as a band, to achieve the clear result we hear, so doing it solo is not difficult in any way.

Not ashamed to mention that I love it.

Hello there, I am currently in a need of a shopping service for a CD that's to be released in July. It will most likely be on sale in all major VK stores across Japan so you don't have to perform any sort of gymnastics to get a hold of it. I am, of course, paying for the CD, shipping and a reward for your efforts. If interested, please contact me via PM. I'm always here. I never sleep. And for those wondering why I'd rather use a person than a company like FromJapan, it's because the UK sucks and our customs officers are bloodhounds who can smell whether a package is a gift or not. Cheers!

God, when do I learn to not rely on age bettering someone's singing abilities.

I had a dream where me and my husband had 4 dogs instead of 2, and one of them was a samoyed called Cloud. I think this was reflecting an earlier conversation we had. I said that if we had a samoyed, I'd like to name him/her Cloud, because samoyeds are essentially fluffy white clouds and because of, well, FFVII Cloud.

I would have so much to contribute to this thread, except I'm constantly unsure whether the songs I like are actually good or if I just associate them with epic/memorable/heart breaking moments. I do think the songs are really good as standalones, but even better when in the context of the game. I also feel like I should maybe say something about each piece? I know others haven't and I'm prolly just rambling but... Apocalypsis Magnatus is actually an exception to the rule, because I literally have no idea at what point in the game this plays, I can not for the life of me remember, but I listened to it on the soundtrack and it's beautiful. Those who've played Final Fantasy XV will probably recognise the basic tune as being the same as Apocalypsis Noctis and Apocalypsis Aquarius. But this has a totally unique twist to it that I feel like brought the original piece to the next level. I also like the slow, delicate beginning that then builds up to an epic theme. I like songs like that. Become Fire mixes up so many emotions together that I can't even start to comprehend it. It has threatening moments, moments of solace and happiness and moments of battle. Like it's just a mixture of everything episode Ignis was. And it makes me very emotional. Okay, so, this isn't directly from Final Fantasy V, but it's by the band formed by the composer of every Final Fantasy game up to IX so... it counts. Uematsu just really wanted to perform a metal version of all the epic themes he had composed previously. Step aside, Sephiroth. Dancing Mad is gonna kick One-winged Angel's butt. If you've played Dragon Age II and remember anything from it, you'll notice that Mage Pride is literally Fenris Theme, but with lyrics (lyrics made with a made-up language). I'd like to think that there was some thought put behind using the "mage hater's" theme as a basis for a song called Mage Pride. At first I was a bit iffy about Trevor Morris as a composer, because I thought Dragon Age: Inquisition's soundtrack wasn't as memorable as DA: Origins and DAII's soundtracks had been, but he redeemed himself with Trespasser's soundtrack. I can barely listen to Dark Solas Theme without feeling a lump in my throat. I'll conclude this with a single light-hearted theme from Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. You'll really get into objecting people when this plays.

I feel you. I get unacceptably annoyed whenever I hear youth language like "stan, fam, lit" etc.

I'd like to know what too old means. I'm nearing my thirties and going for a long route to university - which means doing NC, then HNC and then uni. No one has told me I'm too old to roll on any of those courses. Thing is tho, you might not get financial support if you've already claimed some previously. But if you can support yourself with work (or sugar daddy), I don't think there are other restrictions. You might even get certain courses credited in your new field as you've done them in another already, so your time in uni shouldn't be that long.

Yeah this is especially fun when it's a neverending nightmare. Had that happen. Once. Never again, please.

This has done me a heckin surprise. Spyro 2 was literally the first game I ever played. I think I was 9 or something, maybe 10. I have such fond memories of playing the game and watching my dad complete the game for me because I couldn't do it. I loved it. I played it so many times afterwards. And now it's gonna be part of my life again, in HD remastered graphics. Even the games that I wanted to play and never did, which are 1 and 3. Just hope that they keep the original soundtrack and maybe just remaster the tracks too, because especially Spyro 3 had some kickass tunes (Fireworks factory anyone?)

What's the point of asking an opinion if you're just gonna do whatever you wanted to do anyways? Was this an attempt to get attention? I'm sure there are better ways.

Okay, guys, I did not want to make a separate topic for this because technically it's been going on for... ever since Kameleo broke up, and I did find this when going to L.A.LEMECCA's youtube channel, but: Daisuke (ya know, the guitarist of Kameleo) also has a solo project going on. Not only that, but he seems to be doing Let's Play videos as well. In Japanese tho. So far he's played a couple of RPG maker games, PUBG, Minecraft and SPORE. Anyways, here's the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3omrwlSln5ULCjzNkn7-8A

Lol more shit coming up

Does anyone ever wonder where their youtube recommendations come from? What have I EVER watched to be recommended sumo wrestling with Conan O'Brien?

Just because he knows Gackt doesn't mean he'll know Malice Mizer. Also, honestly, to me the whole idea sounds a lot like a bad inside joke he might not even remember. I wouldn't do it.

I couldn't stop laughing after I saw the #yolo tag. Mate, you're right there with all the other insta artists.

I know I'm gonna get so much hate for this but ehhhh, here we go. There's a reason why all the other queens are successful and Kennedy isn't. I don't claim to know everything about it, but personally speakind, just because you're an old-school drag mama and have been doing this shit for 20+ years doesn't guarantee you're actually good at it. I never liked Kennedy as an entertainer. She never excelled like some other queens did, and I started majorly disliking her after S7 when she and Ginger Minj started putting down queens who had done drag for a shorter time than they had, saying how they're not as deserving to win as old-school drag artists are. And I call BS. Kennedy didn't even deserve to be in the top 2 for All Stars. For all I care, the world should forget about her and her toxic attitude where only people who've dedicated their life to drag since they were toddlers are the only deserving of any kind of victory.

I finally did the unthinkable and downloaded the whole VITAS discography. Like this man just makes me happy in the weirdest ways. If you don't know who VITAS is, I've got 5 words for you: "Ahhahaa ahhahhaa ah-aaah, bululululu hah-haa."

A super belated thank you! I was uninspired to draw anything for the longest time, but for a while I've had this idea of an OC in my head and I finally managed to draw her. Even though I originally planned to do a full body picture and it didn't work out, I'm still feeling okay about the result. All comments are welcome and I like honest criticism if you have some to offer. I want to improve myself.

Took me a while to watch the PV. I have to admit that although I love Kiryu, that song in particular isn't very memorable. It lacks the distinct rhythm that other songs of its kind, like Etsu to Utsu, have had. So to me it just sounds like chaotic pop-rock and that just doesn't work. Also: Hiyori is so not kawaii anymore.

May I ask, why make a deadline if you do not expect people to meet the deadline? It's a bit silly, isn't it? Why not set it for later so that EVERYONE has enough time to do their work by the deadline? I mean, technically you've got 2 months for that since the trade-offs are hosted bi-monthly? Give them a couple of weeks to make their mix and a month to review them. That would set the expectations where they should be, no? If one person gets their review earlier, hooray for them and party on, yeah? But if they don't, then it's not a loss or a breach in rules. I always say keep low standards and be happily surprised when they're exceeded. I mean seriously, if people are given plenty of time to do something and they attempt to do it at the last minute and THEN something comes along... yeah, that's kinda their fault, not their trade partner's. With the kind of systems where you'll just pat on the head someone who misses the deadline, you're effectively punishing the ones who keep their schedule in check, which seem to be the thing Mamo and suji are pointing out.

I would like to point out a thing. Just one minor thing. People already agree that the whole nazi symbolism with swastikas and uniforms is a shock thing, and a few have pointed out that it doesn't really shock people anymore. Yes it does. Not a lot, but it does. Enough to get people talking. If it wasn't a little strange and slightly on the offensive side, we wouldn't be discussing it here. And that's their purpose. They want to raise eyebrows and get a bit of tongue wagging going on, but that's all, and they're fully aware of it. Nazism has that sort of effect on people. Don't you think they'd be blackfacing right about now if they really wanted to shock and disgust the population?

I think my insecurities have floaties.

When can we finally have hypersexualized male figurines like we have big titty anime girls?
