Peace Heavy mk II

"$uicide $howtime" or something, right?

The niconico video showed this was definitely written with the intention of being a great live song, but only an okay studio one. Still loving the Draco Malfoy hair though

The bass drum part around 1 minute in the first video kind of sounds like Grime's "Venus Fly" looool I liked Tenjou Tenge's preview better than the second one, but I'm still pretty excited for this single.

魅裟 (Missa), which is the solo project of Insanity Injection's guitarist and main composer 魔琴(makoto), is releasing his second solo single entitled "Belphegor." Like his first single from earlier this year, "Belphegor" will be available on a plethora of digital retailers and will most likely only contain one track. The song is licensed through Malformed Maria records, which I am going to assume is a small label he made himself to distribute his solo works. The single will be released on September 15th, 2016. Ohp

If the future of visual-kei is in either Tyler Oakly or Yohio's hands, I should probably just go into a hypoglycemic-induced coma

They wear so much makeup to cover up the fact that they're actually exhausted

visual-kei go incoming

Shamu came for Chaos' wig

They have a PV preview up for their song "WARUGAKI-ISM" and it looks like they're officially starting activities on October 19th.

Awesome @ the line-up and awesome @ the cause

If you join, I think there's a way to mention a referrer. Be sure to put "Seraphim" so I could possibly get a discount

I have a minor in Japanese language, although I have not spoken to any natives in about 4 years so my verbal grammar and comprehension is extremely rusty. I've also lost a lot of grammatical semantics and proper writing compositional skills, so things like news articles and song lyrics are a bit difficult for me to translate. Short phrases, like vkei news updates and song titles, I am a lot better at understanding. That being said, I've used other tools post-graduation to help understand the language better. I am currently level 23 on WaniKani, which means I know / recognize / am familiar with / should be familiar with around 749 kanji and 2300+ vocab words (from this app alone. I know others from school and recognizing song titles). For writing, I also made an account on Lang-8. This is a site that lets you write diary entries in any language you'd like, then has natives correct your grammar or give you suggestions on how to improve it. While it does support any sort language, the users are typically Japanese wanting to learn English. I would love to start taking lessons again and maybe even converse with others so I can build back up my speaking skills and learn more informal langauge. My training was all polite and super formal towards the end, as it was geared towards students studying abroad or people learning Japanese for business, so informal language used in songs and anime often escapes me.

It's probably a lot cheaper for RR to just sell and license their stuff than it is to put money towards producing and promoting it. The band probably has to figure out recording sessions, bookings, costumes, flyers, etc on their own, but most likely make more money per CD sale and per gig than they used to. That being said, I'm glad they're continuing. They remind me a lot of 06~08 UCP bands a lot, which is what I listened to mostly when getting into VKei; it's cool to have the feeling again.

I keep mistaking the guy all the way in the back for a llama

Use'n them Free People coupons

gurl I see you

All of their choruses have the same melodic flow to them. " 揚羽蝶乃夢" is really good, but like, they almost released a CD of all new songs then pulled out at the last minute ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
