The Bread Wolf

This band gotta stop being so awesome (and abusing the different writing styles of Japanese, geez, that's not how you katakana).

Holy mother of Kisaki. All ex. UCP artists on these labels. Now.

Yeah I have. At least twice. The first time was when I was 11 and my tonsils were removed due to me constantly suffering from pharyngitis and during the healing process the surgery wounds in my mouth opened and started bleeding really heavily, resulting in me being at loss of blood. And that caused me to black out on our hallway. :'D

The second one was, I think, a year later when I was in a spa hotel with my family. Everyone had gotten up earlier than me and my mum had opened the curtains, but I wanted to sleep more and got up to close them. Apparently I got up too fast and thus, blacked out, hitting my head on the TV set. :'D 

Gosh, I just constantly injure myself.

What do you think is the ultimate question (of which answer is the well known 42)?

Also, why no poll?

Because this thread was supposed to be a conversation about which one is better if either and why, not just a simple listing of which one do you like better. Quite frankly, I - as the starter of the thread - am not the least interested in how many here prefer the new VK and how many the old VK.

^ I don't think that's so unpopular. :'D I think quite many of us love vocalists who have no idea about singing. The difference lies between them who admit it and them who don't.

I admit my favorite vocalist has fucking no idea what he's doing, and you can hear it. But he's having fun alright, and that's what affects me. I think it's cute as well. And it makes them unique. Like, half of the VK artists who can sing sound exactly like some other VK artist who can sing. But those who can't sing never fail quite the same way as some other person fails. :'D

I'm not confused why Mind of the sun dislikes Silent Hill 2. I'm confused of how can he hate Silent Hill 2 and like Homecoming! Seriously, Homecoming is like probably the worst game of the SH series of all time. The graphics are nice, yeah, but the whole gameplay is gay as hell and the story isn't too interesting either, or at least not enough to compensate the awful, boring and insane puzzles and the sucky gameplay. 

Mind you, I haven't actually played any SH games myself, but I'm an expert when it comes to watching any horror games. :'D From the viewers point Homecoming is the worst and pretty much all LPers I've seen playing it have absolutely HATED the game. 

Then again, I really liked Shattered Memories, mostly because the different gameplay it had compared to all the other SH games, and it involved a lot more exploring and plot stuff rather than combating. I would like to play it myself some day. 

Other survival horror games I like are, well, the famous Amnesia. I can't get enough of it. Sure it isn't the first horror game to use non-combat method when it comes to encountering monsters, but it certainly did it the best. The developers of Amnesia have said that combat makes monsters easily seen as something you just need to get rid of to proceed, instead of a plot element. Leaving the combat out of the game gives you the possibility to wonder about their existence in the game and also that creates it's own horror element. 

That's why I don't like shooter horror games. They aren't scary. You just shoot the stuff and keep going. 

I'm sure there are other survival horror games I like but Amnesia is the best, I think.

Too bad this isn't a general horror game thread, because I'd love to talk about adventure horror games like The Cat Lady and Sherlock Holmes series. :'D I absolutely love those games, especially The Cat Lady, in which everything is about the atmosphere and not the fear of dying in the game since you can't die in it. Or actually, you die in it several times, but it happens whatever you do.

I strongly believe I'm a magician. I have somehow managed to transform my originally 26-hour working week (with 3 6-hour days and one 8-hour day) into a 45-hour working week (with one 6-hour day, 4 8-hour days and one 7-hour day). Magic, I say (or a lot of effort).

your eyes are simply amazing.

Thank you~~ ^w^ *blush giggle blush*

Didn't know you're so self-critical.

Wasn't talking about myself.

I might probably find really embarrassing pictures of myself from like 10 years ago, but to be honest, if I compare myself from 6 years ago to my current self it's not that bad! Honestly!

I think this is from when I was 16. So... 7 years ago. The only actual awfulness of it is my photoshopping skills. :'D Being that... ehh... my eyes are not really blue. And I don't think anyone's eyes are THAT blue. And everything else from softblurring to artistic "I'll make everything else gray except for myself so that my awesome red hair color stands out". Ugh. Seriously, I'm more embarrassed how UNNATURAL this pic looks due to photoshop rather than the way I actually look. And this is from my worst weeaboo times. Could be worse, honestly.

A year later. A ruffled-fuckin'-lolita-phase. And pink hair. God I loved that hair. When it was just dyed and still vibrant. Make up skills almost unexistent. T's alright though. I still don't think I looked THAT bad.

And from there to this (note: 6 years of time between this and the lolita pic):

The difference? Minor. I added some contact lenses and uhh... toned down my style a bit? And have a less funky hair color, which is surely to change once I manage to dye my hair dark grey.  Too bad I don't have any pictures of my goth phase from when I was 14 and 15. :'D I didn't fail that either, I think! Back then I looked better than I ever have. Probably because I was thinner. So uhhhhh.... what can I say? I have never been embarrassing~ (Someone might say otherwise but fuck him)

Narcissism much? lol. 

Stupid much? lol.

Double post!
 
How about I fish for compliments by spamming this thread full of my everyday-makeup photos until everyone says I'm fucking adorable? Sounds like a deal? Good! Because shit's going down, baby!

I think I look a lot softer in these pics. And not only because I'm smiling and/or showing tongue. Also, the color of my eyes is pretty awesome. Even if I say so myself.

Okay thank you everybody! Yuugi's out~ (until tomorrow)

Are you seriously trying to claim that you don't look good without eyeliner...?

Eeeeeeeyup. 

A couple of almost au naturel (read as: working day make up) photos.

Oh the difference wearing eyeliner makes. I look like a mongoloid without it. ( ´A`)

I pretty much love every cover art by VIDOLL up until the point when they started using the band's promo pics for the covers. But my favorite by far is BASTARD.

Also I adored Kameleo's album's cover art, both limited and regular edition, but posting a pic would be pointless, because the awesomeness of the covers doesn't rely on the art, but rather the style of the covers. The limited edition is a small, metallic box rather than a CD case and the regular edition cover is a hologram. 

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).

You motherfucker forgot C.C Lemon Hall from the list. THEY'VE GOT THEIR OWN FUCKIN' LEMONADE. PUT IT ON THE LIST.

@ manic Your style is pretty flawless, bro. Pfffff for it not suiting you. Looks good to me. 

Because you just can't put on a dress and think you can play an instrument after that.

No, seriously, I agree with

._. 

 

 

 

really

theres a lot of discrimination here in this country based on what youre into

Yeah I've heard. Shame, really... I'd like to know more UK weeaboos. At the moment I only know one.

Well hi there. Nice to see an UK VK fan. THOSE actually seem rare. Hope you get along well and enjoy your time here~

Lol, first of all I want to say that the Japanese traditional theme has been done to death (yeah I know it's legit but still). And while in D's case it may have been impressive, in Kiryu's case I find it pretty cheap looking. And gawd someone must've been on crack while doing that video XD

Not meaning to be butthurt or anything but are you familiar with the fact that Kiryu is neo japanesque band? Their whole concept revolves around being traditional. I don't think THAT has been done to death, meaning there haven't been many neo japanesque bands out there. I can name... three from VK scene. There are more cheap Dir en grey copies out there than bands who actually carry out traditional look and concept throughout their whole career. 

There're a lot of old PVs in this thread, implying that maybe bands made better PVs in the past. I disagree though.

One of the reasons I like カメレオ is their PVs. It seems like nowadays a lot of bands make those general photoshopped-to-shit, we're-playing-in-the-same-industrial-hall-as-everyone-else PVs, but not カメレオ. Most of their music videos actually have a story behind them. Yeah of course the band appears playing every now and then, but that isn't the main point.

(Too bad their best PV yet, meaning Netsuzou pierrot is missing from youtube.)

But look at this, just look at the beauty of this.

Another band who's music videos I like is, of course, Kiryu. Yeah, their general idea seems to be about just the band playing but oh my god the colors. Okay no, some of their PVs do have a plot, and when they don't, there are still the colors.

Hrrrrrr color orgasm right there. In your face.

I just hang around here being miserable because I spend half of my life as a crazy fan of their bassist and the music he used to write.

That's what we all do. That's what we all do. *headshake*

Oh really? Maybe I was joking.You're not feeling offended are you? Lol.

Nooo, heck, why would I be? I'm not a guy. :'D

​Men are such a bother

Try girls or girly guys. They're hardly ever a bother. :'D
