I like to call them Mummy Troll, lol

I like them. Along with Сплин, Мумий Тролль and Би-2, my Russian bands of choice

duralumin! wow, surprised anyone remembers them lol

anli pollicino is the best one I've heard recently.

went into this with massively low expectations, but was actually pleasantly surprised. Finale, ザァーザァー and 不均衡キネマ were probably my favorites. They haven't completely lost that bluesy cabaret sound, though it's massively in the background comparatively. Either way, I liked it a lot more than Underworld, that's for sure. The Cry Against was still terrible though.

Probably one of their worst albums. But I enjoyed VANITAS and LOTUS a lot, with 滴る朦朧, 暁, DIABOLOS and 流転の塔 getting honorable mentions. I'm a little, no, a LOT puzzled by Kyo's ridiculous dying animal sounds. It's clear he can still sing (somewhat), as evidenced on VANITAS in particular. So what is with the rabid chipmunk business? Of course the unnecessary muddy layers in most of the songs was also ridiculous, but I was so distracted by Kyo's garbled gurgling to be as annoyed with those as I could have been.

ugh what is this? RIP....

↑ that's interesting, re:high blood pressure. I did not know that. and i suppose with the smoking and likely drinking that goes on with a lot of bandmen, i guess it becomes less surprising in a sense. still very sad though.

found this on Tumblr....an anonymous message Regarding to Isshi’s death. I was informed by a friend, it’s due to Cerebral Hemorrhaging. It’s an internal bleeding inside the brain and it is due to hypertension. Did he smoke? If he did, it’s a contributing cause as well.. According to his neighbour, Isshi always complained that he was tired and sleepy. It’s the main symptom of the Cerebral Hemorrhaging. But the main cause is hypertension. The stress he received and the pressure he was under. That’s what killed him. Please don’t take this as legit source. But this is the information that I received from my friend in Japan. 一 Anonymous.

I think the splitting is a good idea, and for the whole VK thing, I think that once VK always VK. I mean, I DON'T really like that, but for the purpose of splitting, it's not really ~right~ to include them with acts who have NEVER EVER been associated with VK. Especially since the music is usually quite different. BUt the other thing is, there should probably be a Jpop section and is there really that much anime/game music to warrant its own section?

Yeah, same here. I've got a crapload. Entire discos of my favorite bands, plus random other stuff. Am definitely not lying or joking on that one, lol.

Lol wait, so you think people who say they buy a lot (of Japanese music presumably) are lying about it?

My opinion lies somewhere around: wanting to buy as much as I can, but wanting to hear more than I can afford, lol. I think someone already said it here, but also Jimi in that JaME interview that just came out, bands DO want to get heard more than anything. No one's going to know who you are or anything else if they can't hear you. Because, chances are, the person that hears a random song/single/album might buy something. But that same person will never buy anything if they don't even know who you are or what you sound like. Never vs maybe. I know which one I'd pick. That's why a lot of them don't care. ON the other hand, people who don't buy ANYTHING and expect EVERYTHING to be shared with them, are entitled gits and I hope one day they have to work and not get paid, lol. As for why I personally share stuff, it's usually because I really like the band and I want other people to hear them. Simple as that. If you say, well, if you really like the band, why are you distributing their stuff? See the top paragraph for that answer, then possibly learn to logic? lol
