That sounds interesting. I even think I remember one of our users here proposing that they could do such a thing. Well, good for them. They can shove it in X JAPAN's face and show them how to do a revival right.

Unless they ALL come with PV's, this is indeed inexcusable. While they're at it, why don't they just make it an album?

I suppose we could work on this once we get the database finished for good.

Err...I can't agree there. I would say the NIL era ballads were better than the SR-era ones. DISTRESS AND COMA has this same problem IIRC. Lately they've had problems bringing diversity to some of their tracks because I realize a lot of tracks repeat "catchy" segments and it just gets repetitive.

Stuff like this is completely unavoidable in a Dir en grey topic, isn't it? .___. Keep the discussion in this topic on the single, not on who's opinion is less valid based on what other bands that person listens to. We don't need another flame war. Kthnxbai.

I kinda felt this was going to come sooner or later. After a while, they reached this peak and then stopped progressing. Best of luck to the other members in the future.

NO ONE WANTS THE DRYER!!!! I almost pee'd myself from the lulz, srsly Looks like he's getting some inspiration.

Do. Want. Now.

Well if Mukunoki can play it what he can do is record the song using Audacity and then send it to you. Sure it would be (slightly) lower quality but it would work and you wouldn't have a license problem. That's about all I can think of.

I'm also straight but in my current location a better label would be asexual. I lack lots of options :\

You're still having my babies. All 9000 of them.

I was wondering if the member conflicts also had anything to do with it. I could have sworn I heard about a huge fight. I do remember TOMOZO being all emo about it saying "I will never take the stage with any of these people again" (or something to that effect). Somehow, I always had a feeling Kyotaro had something to do with it.

I might as well take this time to ask if anyone knows why he left both THE EIGHT and Black:List in the first place. Also, semi-fan of Kyotaro here. He was virtually unlistenable up until illational, when he seemingly removed most of the phlegm in his throat and started producing pleasant sounds with it. Then his harsh vocals got slightly better in Black:List but he never really "fit" with that band as much as he did with THE EIGHT. Then he stopped singing.

Congrats! I didn't know there was an order relationships had to go in :x. I might have completely skewed views on what a relationship is though so don't listen to me, but I'm completely opposed to the conventional notion of what "order" a relationship has to progress in. All that matters is if it's going to happen and if you're happy about it. also, inb4 PREMARITAL SEX O NOEZ U SIN.

I'm glad to see for once that when I enter a topic of an indies VK band disbanding I don't see NOOOO THEY WERE SO GOOD WHYYY! Honestly, I got the vibe from one of their pictures that they weren't going to stay around for long and that in a few months they were going to disband. That was last week ;

Well if it's accidental then that's probably why. Sometimes the things I say offend the hell out of other people and they take it the wrong way even though I didn't mean it that way. That would be a lack of communication. Then there are some guys that like to play games and treat women as objects. Those guys are collectively referred to as assholes. Only assholes like other assholes. You should tell him that politely. Most of the time us men can really be that stupid when it comes to being attentive to our lady. Sometimes, all we need is a polite nudge in the right direction to let us know where we're messing up. Although if he's that much of a jerkface then I don't know =\

^ That happens to me every few months or so. I'm getting better with it but it really sucks. The worst part is knowing that the person doesn't like you and feeling powerless to change how you feel about that person.

Don't worry Anomie. That sounds like me. Not to piss in everyone else's cornflakes but I've been bullied a lot growing up too. Mine was different though, since I was bullied at home, at summer camp and at school. I could never get away from it. At school, I was always the kid at the top of my class because I could go to class, take no notes and get perfect grades on everything. Classmates hated me for it. They'd trip me, push me down the stairs, isolate me at lunch. I'd have no people to play with when it came time to go outside and go to recess and since I was stuck there until 6:30 every day I had to deal with people's shit for 12 hours a day. Of course there were exceptional circumstances but I'll spare you all the details. This is no sob story damnit! It never ended there though. My mom would be pissed off because of her poor life decisions and viewed me as the object of all of her troubles. I would get picked up from school and then enter another world of hell. I would get hit a lot, spit on, screeched at, sent to bed with no food - basically anything that you would tell yourself NOT to do happened to me. Looking back I don't know which one was worse but I don't know how I didn't kill myself. That shit was horrible. I don't remember this myself (actually, everything that I know about my childhood I've been told over the last three years because I can't remember anything before 4th grade. I think I've subconsciously suppressed it all) but once I got hit so badly there were marks all over my body and the school wanted to call the cops to take me away. I really do think the teachers at my elementary school felt bad for me because they always treated me extra special and they wanted to push me through the grades as fast as possible (so I would be independent sooner). The other kids didn't understand that though and they interpreted it as gaining preferential treatment, so they just bullied me more. They made it worse =\. The only friends I have (that live around me) today are all the ones I made through summer camp. For some reason, the camp I went to attracted tons of kids like myself. We were all weirdoes that didn't have friends anywhere else and we all got placed together in the same group. We had a love for Japanese anime, cartoons, video games. It was the perfect combination of friends that you could ask for. Of course this was a SUMMER CAMP so there was lots of physical activity going on so it was always stratified between the cool obnoxious assholes and us. That wasn't too bad though since there were more of us, so we could stick together and stick up for one another. Camp was the place where I learned to grow some balls and I remember fourth grade because I went back to school and people started trying to bully me like usual. Got into a lot of fights that year but I'd always get away with it. Don't know why really. After a while when they realized I wasn't taking anyone's shit anymore they started backing off. I stopped getting bullied but I didn't have any friends either. It stayed that way until I graduated. At around the same time, my mom got re-married to some doucher that distracted her long enough to leave me alone. Then I went to high school and purposefully isolated myself. I was the genius kid that made no friends. Of course, people interpreted that as me being high and mighty with my smarts but honestly I didn't want to deal with other people because I didn't know how. I made some new friends in high school that I still talk to today so somewhere in there I learned how to deal with other people but I was still bullied in high school. Or rather, people attempted to. I eventually learned from years of summer camp that the best way to deal with a bully is to beat the living shit out of them over and over again. If they have to bring back friends for round two, you beat them down too. These days I'm in college and no one has time to bully anyone else so I don't have to worry about that anymore. Reason why I decided to share is because there's probably a reason why I went through all that and someone needs to know bullying is not OK.

I'm a "sniveling weirdo" (one of the biggest you'll ever meet in fact) but I also think that I'm comfortable with myself and have a sense of independence. Where do I fit?

Fix'd.

This. If I reach the point where I contemplate cheating then that should be the end of the relationship. I'd rather be up-front and call it off than hurt someone I said I love like that. That's all hypothetical though

If I could, I would torch their house.

1) Because people don't correct their tags before they scrobble things. 2) Nope, record companies can do that. We can't.

Ok, such guys are really boring AND annoying. That was me...when I was 13 and stupid. I have no idea. I've had the luck of being in the complete wrong place to find someone.
