SUBLIMINAL

D'espairsRay: I couldn't express the extent of love, but I'll mention them regardless because they've been my favourite band for seven years and their existence makes me happy, haters gonna hate. I admire Karyu, too. He's overcome so much and is still an extremely passionate, independent individual. Also, when life is flinging shit at me, something D'espairsRay-related happens that instantly cheers me up. And I've enjoyed each of their albums in different ways. ???: for being comprised of brilliant musicians and sounding utterly unique, and for having one supremely skilled vocalist. They need more fans. BUCK-TICK: twenty years of solid music that has yet to become stale. Lillies and Remains: best new band there is, without a doubt. emmurée: vastly underrated band who deserve much more love. BOØWY: for timeless music that never fails to make me smile or dance. Also for producing one of the greatest Japanese guitarist I've ever heard. ??: utterly enjoyable chill-out-electronica, also require more fans.

When did lynch. and D'espairsRay swap vocalists?!

You should never ever be embarrassed by what you listen to, no matter how ridiculous it may seem! Ah! My comment was actually geared toward the fact that he(?) said he was embarrassed about listening to My Chemical Romance, of all the artists listed, who are probably subjected to more ridicule than MCR at any rate. It amused me.

I actually think it's Vundo/Virtumonde again, which is apparently undetectable nowadays.

So this has only been a recent problem. It happened a day after I got internet at my new apartment sooner than I'd anticipated, although I doubt that's to blame. Basically, my computer lags more than it usually does. I had a virus named Virtumonde that ate all my memory previously, gave me hundreds of pop ups and would never let me use google, but I rebooted and reinstalled Windows to get rid of it, so I don't think it's that one come back to haunt me because Spyware S&D picked it up last time and now it says there are no threats whatsoever. However, I'm getting the same pop ups, regardless of whether I have my browser open or not, that lead me to websites I can't exit. I have to shut the browser down via Windows processes. When I google something, I get redirected to one of these pages as well. Sometimes it will let me browse normally, but in particular when I google computer tech problems or for help with this problem, it refuses to let me view the page. Spyware Doctor found three threats, all of them adware, but I "fixed" them and it never picked them up again. I've moved everything important to an external hard drive just in case my computer is infected with malware or something and I'm prepared to reboot, since that's the easy option, if I can find my Windows install discs, but until then... could anyone help me figure out how to get rid of it? I'm guessing it's a Google redirect virus, but obviously I can't access websites on how to kill the damned thing when I get redirected elsewhere. Help?

And yet you're not embarrassed about Jeffree Star or Nicki Minaj? D:

This. In the same vein, I hate VK indies fags. I don't know why they think they're so special for buying/hoarding/trading music with 10 listeners on last.fm and less in their homeland as if not a soul is worthy of hearing its magnificence and only the ~l33t~ or those willing to trade equally monstrously horrendous music have the pleasure of doing so. I hate that they genuinely believe their rare singles aren't an abomination and I hate even more the morons that get jealous because they haven't listened to visual-indies-band-number-763048603486208-who-are-in-it-for-the-pussy and request it as often as they can until they get it or give up and forget. Seriously, they have, like, five fans in Japan. Stop glorifying them. They're rare and unknown for a reason. I hate the use of the term "American metal" in this thread, too. Minor irritation: Even though I abhor the use of VK and its subgenres tags etc. on last.fm because they infect every Japanese band ever and mess up my artist recommendations, I hate that half of the bands tagged as nagoya kei on last.fm are just there because they're a little heavy. Love: This thread.

Braced for lulz.

I'd still be listening to all the music (rock and metal) I do now and did prior. If I wasn't forever hunting down new bands, I wouldn't have found Japanese music in the first place. I like to think I was open-minded about music before I listened to Japanese music.

I agreed with all of your post, but especially these points and had to second them. I'm not a hateful person generally, as I think it requires far too much negative energy and find it more appropriate to simply ignore anything I don't like, but D are a big exception. In addition, I dislike every member of the band bar Hide-zou. I feel that the band is overrated.I hate Versailles too. I hate Kamijo and his pseudo-aristocratic act, but I also have issues with a girl who was obsessed with him, so that could be perpetuating my anti-Kamijoness. Teru is a mediocre guitarist. I don't know anything about their drummer and I doubt many Versailles fans give a shit about him either. And I thought Jasmine was a shitty bassist long before he died but commenting on the dead's musical prowess is considered trolling or in bad taste. Let's see... There's ALSDEAD, and the fans that believe they're any different than the slews of Western metalcore bands who compose poorly. What irritated me more, though, was seeing a diehard ALSDEAD fan commenting on Japanese metalcore bands that weren't visual and Western bands claiming they were ~emo~ and ~gay~ and disgusting. Sadie. Shittastic band incapable of originality, with an egocentric guitarist and a moronic vocalist. I don't take osare kei seriously enough to hate it, but I wouldn't be caught dead listening to it. DELUHI's fanbase. I don't hate it when Hizumi sings in English, but I wish he would stick to his mother tongue because his pronunciation is terrible and his lyrics aren't as... poetic when he throws in random English phrases. And Zero... no hate whatsoever, but if he wasn't in the band, the music wouldn't sound much different on CD. Zero lures in clueless, sex-starved fangirls who want to follow his blogs and perv over the pictures of his thighs and face. He's the friendliest (next to Hizumi) and most fan interactive, but he doesn't compose or write anything, and prominent bass on D'espairsRay's album is virtually non existant, so if he didn't show up to record a track, no one would notice on CD. He's better live, though. And, finally, -OZ-. I don't hate them because I used to listen frequently and was fond of the band members, but Natsuki requires singing lessons. When he's not screaming or growling, he ruins a song. A lot of their songs are identical too.

Now you're just being ridiculous.

Another release to look forward to.

One final time: D'espairsRay - abyss

Which is the release with [6]party on it?

The whole album is dark. The atmosphere is dark, the lyrics are dark (with the exception of LOVE IS DEAD and FINAL CALL). The album concept is dark. To argue that is ridiculous. Wow, you're being serious..Yes. And I'm guessing you didn't understand the concept of the album, the mood or the lyrics at all.

Just loaded up the van with my furniture. Before I go, It's from the movie Kevin and Perry go large. I didn't expect many of you to actually get it. See you guys in two weeks.
