First petition for All this I'll give you and JUDGEMENT to be on the album?

Toge was used for an anime. I don't think Cry More was... Was it? Were all three used in anime? Maybe their label struck a deal with an animation studio. I see the whole anime music thing bands do as a way to make a little extra cash they wouldn't from just releasing a regular single so they can just be financially stable enough to continue releasing shit later on. You know, since there is no money in VK. I mean... Look at the 5000 members here that mostly just download shit. Yeah a lot of people buy and upload (bless their hearts) but way more download. Which means the bands have more fans than they are aware of from sales but they also aren't making as much money because of all the fans downloading stuff. Which means they have to find other ways to earn money so they can continue living off of doing what they love. Thus, doing songs for anime. I was thinking the same exact thing about two days ago as well. Unlike some people here, I have no qualms with Sadie doing songs for an anime. I have a problem with them doing it badly. I think people forget that many, including myself, got into Japanese music because of the theme songs used for anime. There's also this stigma around anime songs and them never sounding good, which is so far away from the truth. HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR did Ichirin no Hana for BLEACH and that was a fantastic song. Even Dir en grey used CHILD PREY and -I'll- as theme songs for anime. Of course there's bound to be a smartass saying "but they're not visual so they can make good music". The failure in that statement is so evident I don't need to explain it. There is no tie between anime and music and if the music is bad then that's the fault of the artist. And right now, that blame lies on Sadie and they're doing no favors to remove that stigma either. All three title songs on these releases weren't good, but Juggernaut was my least favorite of the three. If they want to stay in the scene, while they're cashing in on the songs being used for anime they also might want to make sure these same songs are good.

That would just be silencing a person's opinion. What about a neutral opinion? Like mine? Which is that it does not matter at all to me whether he gets better or if he is forever paralyzed and unable to create music ever again. If he is meant to continue making music he'll get better. If not? Well, I guess he wont be making music anymore, will he? The way you initially wrote it, it sounded as if you were asking about people that wished ill for him, in which case I agree with byou that they should just stay away from this thread unless they want to stir up drama and a whole lot of unnecessary reading and deleting for the mods. However, if you just don't care either way about what happens to him (like me) then I suppose you don't have to post here either. After all, if you don't care what use is this topic to you? That's not to say you have no place posting here but if you do, what do you have to contribute? Not much, really. In your one paragraph, you've written pretty much all there is to write. To be fair though, there's not much to write no matter how you feel about him so it's beyond me why this topic is three pages long.

This thread is about Ryuutarou and his illness, the cancellation of a live due to his illness, and people expressing their hope that he recovers. That's it and nothing more.

Jesus Christ. Not a fan of Plastic Tree but that's just depressing. I find it very curious though. Why just one live?

album art just a few days.

Lustful Climax? That's not a much better title

Congrats to AkN. Now, new release lynch >

If it's a cover of the Gackt song I think I might laugh to death.

I really, REALLY hope this is more like MAD NEUROSIS CHILD. And I'm not surprised by Jesus. The best song on their last single was named Mary, after all.

Or we can turn this thread into a "let's talk about the departure of Shinichi and Iori and not about cocklobin vs. SIVA. I said it once and I'll say it again: Don't talk about SIVA in this thread.

I just love how everyone crucifies Iori for leaving a band, as if that doesn't happen in the visual kei scene ever. No one knows why Iori left SIVA. Maybe he had a disagreement in direction with the other members of the band. Maybe he was planning on leaving for a while and it just so happened to be then. Maybe, just maybe, he decided that he wanted to pursue new musical endeavors in a new project. God forbid Iori from living his life and doing what he wants to do instead of what fans on an online forum thinks he should do! Get over it. SIVA's dead. Bands come and go. I don't want any more mention of SIVA in this topic because it has absolutely nothing to do with what's at hand here. If you want to discuss that more, go make a SIVA topic in the artist forum and do it there.

If TOMOZO knows what's good for him, he'd put one of Black:List's unreleased songs on that third disc.

Semi-agree with will. I don't think it will be as heavy as the last two releases (Warsaw & Hageshisa) but I don't think it will be a plodding ballad either. I think it will be something along the lines of Toguro, but matured a bit with their sound. That's always a possibility. Then with Dir en grey you just never know.

No joke, I've lost about seven accounts. I think I have two more but I don't use them anymore. I got really slick too, re-encoding music without metadata, changing the name of titles, re-formatting videos two or three times to get around copyright. About two years ago I knew every trick in the book they had to detect people that "broke" copyright but they ended up getting one step ahead of me. What really pissed me off was that I would spend hours making a video and then they'd call copyright on something most people would consider relatively insignificant and then censor my video. I survived through the entire "let's ban AMV's" phase, the entire "let's cut the audio out of a video for five seconds of infringing material" phase and the entire "let's ban people after one video" phase. I think they went far enough to IP ban me because they'd nail me before I even got to upload anything (or log in again, for that matter) but I ended up switching locations so now I'm back on. I think I have one active account with a few uploads in but what made me end up leaving YouTube was YouTube itself. The admins range from laid back, chill people to people that have to do their job and enforce copyright to tyrannical fascists that get delete happy. To me, YouTube is dead because it's not a place that I feel like I can express myself any longer - why, with everything and everyone being copyrighted it's very hard to do anything that's not completely OC. and sometimes OC isn't enough. :\ /sobstory

boris fanboy detected Ignore him. He won't respond.

I was thinking around the beginning of 2010 in that short period of time where Mago was quiet, there was no news of Lin and Synside was plastered all over the UCP website. I might be thinking a bit too optimistically though.

I find this amusing for some reason. Weren't these the guys that went on hiatus before they even started? Now practically a year later UC's second flagship band is calling it quits. Apparently they weren't even THAT important. They never struck me as a band that took any of this seriously anyway. Now they can gtfo the scene. Also, nothing of value was lost. They weren't good. They weren't even decent.

Excellent band. Excellent news.

I didn't know people could honestly be this retarded...

I love this board.

This, in a nutshell. My head's still spinning. I have no words available at my disposal to not only describe this, but categorize it into some sort of genre. In that respect, Diru did it again.

I don't think it's too bad but I haven't heard the original track so I can't compare.

She....doesn't exist.

I agree with Chianti...except in this case. I've been dying to hear the new version of OBSCURE and I had a big feeling that they were going to put it on their next single since they've headlined almost every set with it so that came as no surprise. Reiketsu Nariseba live is just a joke though, but I'd rather that then the shitty remixes they had on a lot of their earlier singles.
