SUBLIMINAL

That Yama-B, man. I miss him, but the new vocalist isn't bad. I can't believe Leda ditched this for DELUHI.

The thing about bands in the same vein as munimuni is that they play a style of music that is accessible if not popular outside of Japan as well, particularly in Britain. So theoretically it's not an impossibility for them to gain a larger fanbase with the proper exposure, they just don't aim for it. Some of them probably don't even want it; they're content with their dedicated followers. But I'd say they're criminally underrated compared to some of the horrendously bad bands that are popular, imo. That's why I feel they're under valued. I listed either bands that should have been more popular than they were before disbanding, or those I personally believe deserve more appreciation among and outside of the people that listen to Japanese music. Unless I missed the point of the thread... :-/ On an unrelated note, is that Ihsahn in your signature?

That's essentially the case with most visual kei bands, though. Another one: ???????(Tokyo Michael). It's unbelievable that they're still together, actually. They take their time with releases, but have been consistently active.

Not all of these are visual kei, but it's in the Japanese rock section, so... ??? (Mutyumu) ?? (Rikugo) ??? (Mamono) emmurée ????? (Shinichirou Morimoto) ???? (munimuni) Lillies and Remains ???? (gonin-ish) CROSS HARD ???? (Momonofu) ?? (Suilen) ???? (Kalimero) ??? (hacchi) ???? (Hitotsume) THE.GOLDEN SPIDER otoiro merry go round smells Agreed with D'ERLANGER And most recently Antikaruna That's all I got so far.

I doubt you'll find one that doesn't triple the fee, but I have always used mukunoki. His English is remarkable, he is friendly, he's quick to respond and post packages and when I order CDs and merch in bulk, he sends me Japanese treats, which is nice. I use him for all sorts. Yahoo Auctions, joining fanclubs, ordering from Japan-only fashion and CD websites, etc. I believe he can be used for buying tickets for Japanese lives, too. You actually have to email him, though, because I'm not sure if he's fixed the form he says to fill out on his official website.

Gojira - The Way of All Flesh

I want to get around to selling the old manga I have in English from years ago so I can buy more in Japanese. These are the first replacements. Xbox 360 Slim is next future purchase.

Got the flat I wanted!

7/10 I've been trying to figure out who it is for ages. My guesses so far are Naoto from exist†trace or someone from DEATHGAZE. Regardless, I love the colours.

How many of you here are fans of Zhong Chi? ?

Fallout 3. Sparingly, between Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Oblivion. Seriously considering applying to work for Bethesda as well, lulz.

Did... did I just watch something pornographic?

T.O.P - Turn It Up Beeeeeeeeeeeeeat.

I guess I'm wrong and know nothing about traveling around a continent I live in and have taken trains, planes and boats around then. It sure didn't cost me any time or money or cause me any stress. Americans really do have it tough, don't they? No buses, no cars, no trains, no planes, no money, no free time. This whole fiasco has astonished me, seriously. I'm starting to wonder how they get around their country at all. Why not accept that it's difficult/easy for both Europe and America in different ways instead of arguing about it? For example, anyone who lives in L.A or Warsaw has got it made. Anyone who lives in Mexico or the UK has to travel a long way.

Well then just because you have hard times traveling through Europe doesn't mean all Europeans go through this too. I've been to Europe several times now, and I was actually amazed on how easy it was to get from one city to another.It goes both ways. It's easy for some Europeans, it's easy for some Americans. It's difficult for some Europeans, it's difficult for some Americans. I even said so on the previous page. But that doesn't really change the fact that all I've seen is Americans complaining that we don't understand just how big their continent is and how hard it is for them, when they don't even realise how big Europe is or that it's not easy to travel all over it. I've been to plenty of countries in Europe and it was a pain in the ass pretty much 80% of the time. And I'm not talking about going from one city to another here, I'm talking about going from one country to another. D:
