SUBLIMINAL

Some time ago, I used to think that Kon suffered from a more serious mental illness. Perhaps major depressive disorder or borderline personality disorder. Obviously I'm no psychiatrist and I'm not diagnosing him with anything! But I have a friend with major depressive disorder, a girlfriend whose father suffers from bipolar and I myself have to deal with complex-post traumatic stress disorder (which is essentially post-traumatic stress disorder meets borderline personality disorder), so this and from following Kon back then is the only thing I have to base this on but to me it really did seem that way and I sympathised with him a lot for it. Iirc correctly he once blogged with a picture of his wrists after he'd cut them and some of his entries were very disturbing, he also had a habit of deleting them and 'shutting down' very often. He's such a magnificent person though. He really is special. On topic, I thought of a group! I don't love them but their music is incredibly catchy and because I hate bullying so much I sometimes judge myself for listening to them. But I realise the music and the people behind it are two entirely different things. And that's the pop group T-ARA. There was a lot of rumours going around about how the girls bullied and shunned their newest member and the proof of it was horrible to see. They seemed to resent her for joining the group so late, treated her like an outcast and were downright horrible to her. Most of T-ARA's sponsors dropped them after the news hit, the bullied member was 'kicked out' and they sort of went into hiding for a while after it. I just cannot stand people who bully even a little so I dislike the remaining members as people, especially after their very phony apology (which was full of lies and over acting), but still listen to their songs every so often.

What is going on with their band/album/song names

This tbh. You can, however, normally tell the difference between someone who genuinely isn't "into" a new album because it's not their thing and someone who is butthurt about change.

^ I love Angry Joe because he has a genuine passion for video games, and while he might not be the best interviewer due to inexperience he does try his best and tries to ask questions everyone wants answers here. Major Nelson though... Jfc how arrogant. He literally rips the mic right out of Joe's hands. I am personally so disappointed but not in the least bit surprised by Micro$oft's direction with the Xbox One. There were rumours for months about this and I'd already decided that I wouldn't be purchasing it, expecting them to be true. I owned a PS1, a PS2 and then switched to 360. Partly because my brother was sticking with Sony and we would end up occasionally sharing the consoles, but also due to significant improvements in hardware (specifically some of my favourite games run like garbage on the PS3) and the factually better multiplayer experience (also Lost Odyssey.) The 360's subscription fee never bothered me in the beginning, because it was worth it. But around the time they updated the dashboard to Metro (which, by the way, the 360 can barely function with and was only implemented to test run it before including it with the Xbox One), I knew things were going downhill fast. All of my frequently used apps were gone and the dashboard was littered with obnoxious fucking ads. You can't do anything on the 360 anymore without intrusive ads cluttering your page, interrupting your video viewing or music listening. And because of the ads, most apps will freeze (namely YouTube- oh boy, you're lucky if you can go three videos without it locking up.) On top of that, none of the 360s can handle Metro. There is an obvious lag loading the dashboard that was never, ever there before and it's so sluggish and badly designed. It's a mess. Then the rumours about Xbox One came flooding in and I just sort of shrugged and accepted it. It was just a matter of finding out the price of the PS4 and, thankfully, it's affordable. I was almost tempted to build another PC for the price of the Xbox One and be done with consoles for good but Sony sold their console so well I don't even care that you also need to pay to play online there now too. Sony, I'm coming home~ (Admittedly I mainly use my 3DS and PC now but I'll never not love consoles. Hopefully.) PS. ANYONE ELSE HYPED FOR THE DIVISION? GET HYPED.

Dir en grey. I respect them as musicians but of their discography there's probably only a small handful of songs I enjoy listening to. And X JAPAN. I hate them musically, but recognise what they've done for the ~scene~ On another note, I have zero respect for LOST ASH even though I liked some of their music because the members are gross, creepy and rude.

He's the guitarist of Angelo, alongside Giru (ex-Vidoll)

I've been replaying the Mass Effect series for the millionth time, as well as enjoying the multiplayer in my downtime. About to tackle the Assassin's Creed series when I'm done.

Oh boy, I'm going to vent here because I haven't been able to anywhere else. Without a doubt, my worst mistake "in love" has been my habit of falling for women I can never have and/or obsessively pursuing someone I convince myself I can never have (thus creating the illusion of an endless chase) then panicking and backing the hell up when they suddenly reciprocate. So yes. My biggest (repeated) mistakes are crushing on girls I can't have, fleeing if/when they change their mind, and failing at maintaining friendships after ~love~ drama. My current crush is a straight girl. I think it's safer crushing on heterosexuals.

Still doing graphic design, art, and working on his website. He designs the merchandise for various band friends. He casually meets up with someone every so often to sing though and mentioned missing being a musician recently. Aside from that, he produced the upcoming mini album from RedRum.

^ It doesn't sound anything like LOVE IS DEAD though...?

B'z. All day every day lately.

I'd go for MIRROR if you couldn't get into Coll:set, it's not as ~grimdark~ I'd avoid their indie music too if that style wasn't your thing. Even though they're my favourite band, personally I find REDEEMER to be the most boring of their albums. It still has some decent tracks, but most of it is forgettable. And MONSTERS was fun but sort of lazy, which isn't surprising given how they were more or less forced to release it quickly. Anyway, everyone who knows me knows I can't stand Maifo. I hate Ricky and the fact that he doesn't care as much about the band as the others (and you can tell), and I hate that Tsukasa's talents are going to waste because their music is so dull I don't even want to suffer through it. Angelo I have a little more of an attachment to because while they aren't everyone's cup of tea, I think they are exactly what Karyu needs and, frankly, they needed him as well to make themselves remotely interesting. Their recent music was starting to sound like one endless medley. Considering D'espairsRay were so screwed over by their label and Karyu was frighteningly depressed after they disbanded, I appreciate that Kirito has given Karyu the chance to freely compose what he wants, the way he wants, and he actually owns the music he creates now. He seems content and he gets on extremely well with the band members, their synergy has really improved.

It's definitely interesting that it's being produced by Hizumi, that's not the route I'd have expected him to go down. Truth be told, when I saw his name mentioned I thought his casual singing sessions with friends had paid off and he might be featured vocally, but this is just as cool!

Dollhouse, the TV programme. Years late but I love it.

D'espairsRay disbanded for a lot more reasons than Hizumi's vocal problems. Kyo is fine. Dir en grey is fine. Nobody's going to disband or die. Calm down.

Well that's just great

Look at this - http://h10.abload.de/img/ffsaleszgo8d.png But where are the Final Fantasy games that are actually better than everything on that graph Finally 100%ed Skyrim Currently playing Two Worlds II Gotham City Impostors, which ain't all that great and I'm bummed about it and Mass Effect 2 on insanity.

Best overall band in our hearts, though~ Did lol at Dir en grey being best overall band/release and then most overhyped. Well, second most overhyped but lol'd all the same. I think we can (most of us) agree that MUCC deserves their award. I have no idea who A are.

BUT ALL YOUR SYRUP WILL POOL IN THE WAFFLE HOLES. It's not right. Maybe it's because o'er here where I live they sell waffles as more of a savory thing. The last waffle I had had seaweed on it. The last pancake I had was drizzled in chocolate sauce and I had mint choc chip ice cream with itsdl;fjs;l I don't but hello~ You obviously have not tried my pancakes.

I'm getting this with only Korean and Greek... Japanese seems to work fine. Wtf.

Sometimes I disappear from the forums for months and everyone forgets me And then I come back and remember how much I love you guys Especially Miasma and Zess and CAT and Senedjem and Champ and Prism And the rest of you are aight too. But seriously pancakes are better than waffles. Pancakes = waffles without syrup traps.

I'd like to know where to start with Onmyouza. I have so many of their albums on an external hard drive and never got around to unzipping / organising / listening to them because I just don't know which to... y'know unzip first that's going to give me a good impression of their music.
