Would be nice to have a list either way, I mean just as a helper because I don't really vote because I can't remember if something was released in 2012 or not :U I'm like MAN I loved that band's song! Oh man best song of 2012!! But the band disbanded in 2009 >__> I just have bad memory?

Oh man, I didn't even pick up this song being taken from FILTH (being like my favourite Deg song and all).

I know right, every time I hear their name I'm like, "Wait, they're still around?"

I'm not going to break it down song by song but I really like this album. I was impatient to wait three weeks for my copy to arrive so snatched it early. What I like is that Grieva does a good job mixing modern style and sounds found in current VK and incorporates it well with the gawthy quirky elements from early 90s VK. They take all the little things I like and while not the most original they do a good job creating something that is fresh and replayable. I'll definitely give it an 8/10. I look forward to future releases and hope they try to do some stuff that's slightly more original. So I'm not spending the whole time comparing every song to one that exists already.

I like how MUCC has won this the past two years. Shoot only second place this year??? COME ON GUYS!? Meh, just haters being haters. Voting for them for the sake of just not liking them. They're popular so they're more likely to have more haters.

I grew up in a house with proto-metal parents, by proto-metal I mean all that early classic rock that influenced modern day metal bands. So Deep Purple, Sabbath and etc. Some stoner rock too. So I was pretty grounded in rock based music at that point. Even though I was too young for the grunge explosion in Seattle, that also solidified by taste in rock music since that was the cool thing the older kids are into. Got into punk because I wanted something more aggressive and badass, metal later because I wanted something EVEN MORE aggressive and badass. I was introduced to VK but I hated it at first. Typical VK fans who don't know what genres are showed me a poppy Malice Mizer song and told me that was Japanese metal and I laughed in their face. It was basically Gackt prancing around like a pussy and being the elitist metal/punk kid I was I couldn't take it seriously. Then eventually I saw the Bara no Seidou concert and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Did some internet digging, soul seek and that bullshit and found Aliene Ma'riage and Derp in herp and HERE I AM.

I am so butt mad that Emiru is not dressing up like a half naked clown and is making music that he enjoys. The song is alright, not my thing but I was curious. I didn't think Emiru or Satoshi or whatever it is, could do any sort of normalish band and have to rely on his squeaky vocals in gimmicky cray cray bands to get away with anyone tolerating him. Yet he seems to manage to do alright for himself here. If they can actually manage to gain a fanbase in Japan, I can see them doing well. At least well enough to do an anime theme song. Now I want to know what Rubi is doing since he was the real star of Aicle, he wrote some pretty cool songs.

Eh, I haven't liked anything they put out in the last two years. Whenever it was when Leda left. Hopefully Misery and Chikage stick together and start something new where they're able to experiment and do something that's interesting. Saw this coming though, especially since Nega tanked who seemed to be one of UCPs more successful bands. UCP's era is coming to an end.

Well Jack Daniels is a shitty whiskey and you're doing yourself a disservice by drinking that crap. Then again if you're going to drink for taste, not drink to get shit faced and don't mind paying for top shelf booze there's some fantastic whiskeys out there. I do admit people avoiding 'fruity' girly drinks is pretty dumb, I personally love myself a Mojito. My problem with fruity drinks is I drink them like juice and I'll just keep going and going and then, oh wait suddenly I can't get up anymore.

Zombies need to go because they're overdone. Do we really need more zombie based movies, games, books, shows? Ugh... Vampires need to go but I'm also not a sexually frustrated middle aged women. Werewolves get a pass because they haven't for the most part been turned into sparkly angsty pretty boys or have 100s of same old survival bullshit movies spat out every year.

I don't critique music because in the end I listen to Visual Kei which is terrible music. I know this band is bad and I should feel bad but Arisugawa Arisu is one kawaii motherfucker and I don't care. Fuck the poe poe. I agree with some of the posts in this thread, you have to be realistic and know that your opinion is still only an opinion. Yes, if that guy on guitar can't tune for shit, at least back up your claims with some facts. Not just whine about how it's bad and wrong and someone else does it better. Perhaps also stop and realize that the awful tuning was intentional to build atmosphere to the song? Music is subjective and a lot of times some people try to use critiquing as a way to try and push their personal opinion as fact.

If you're a true weeaboo you'll pour that piss Sapporo beer down the drain and pop open a Hitachino Nest beer. Decided to give it a try and I'm impressed, it's a nice light beer and has a pleasant crisp flavor. I've only had the white ale but I have a Red Rice Ale in my fridge I'll probably have later this week.

FASHION - Jeans Metal shirt Dyke leather battle jacket I don't care for fashion, whatever is the most comfortable is my motto. In the summer I have dresses to keep cool since I can't stand Seattle's laughable mild summers. SKIN - I have never been able to figure out a good skin make up because it always causes me to break out. I've tried make up for dry skin and make up for oily skin and I still end up the next day with two or three nice big zits. For the most part I use a nice moisturizer, it keeps my skin from drying out and getting flaky. EYES - Okay, eye make up I can hold my own. I probably go all out chola a few times a year because usually I end up not being able to stand it after a few hours. For the most part I don't wear any but sometimes I'll put on a little bit of eye liner, depending on my mood and how casual I want to be. I don't use mascara, my lashes are already dark and long and mascara makes my eyes feel chunky and heavy. I can't stand it. Funny story but I was in chola mode and went out to eat with a friend of mine. Without realizing it rubbed my eye because it was itchy from all the crap caked on it. Ended up smearing black shit all over my face. I finished dinner with my friend first before fixing it LOL. Sometimes I'll pencil in my brows but they're alright on their own, depends if I'm going full on chola. LIPS - I have a stupid overbite and end up with lipstick on my two front teeth. It's always like, jeez Arith you're not supposed to eat the lip stick. HAIR - I am pretty anal about my hair, I don't actually do anything with it but it's thick and heavy and gets frizzy in the slightest bit of moisture. So I do put a lot of effort into using nice hair products, especially anti frizzing products. I try to keep a hat and hair tie on me so if it starts to sprinkle or it's really damp out I can pull it back and slap a hat on to prevent it from frizzing out. I spend about an hour drying and straightening it after showering just so that it can look nice. Otherwise I look like a brunette carrot top. I have horrible hybrid hair that's a mix of my Mom's hair and my Dad's Asian hair.

No one can help you if you can't help yourself.

I'm gonna tell my Microsoft friends that a non-Microsoftie is going to buy a Windows phone. The only people I know with a Windows phone are Microsoft employees or a spouse of some sort since they basically get them for free. Anyway, I currently have a Droid Razor Maxx. I don't do a lot on my phone, call, text and internet and the battery life is great. So I'm quite happy with it. I can go without charging my phone the entire weekend.

My buddy is a translator over at ST and she went through his blog posts. She said that he is going through treatment for something but it's not cancer. It could be but it's not official just yet.

The trick with Amazon Japan is to look for a seller selling an used item and will do international shipping. The problem with Amazon Japan is the only shipping method is express International overnight and that shipping usually costs more than the stupid item itself. Usually third party sellers will ship an item using SAL, it is slower but the shipping price is far more reasonable.

Oh cool, a band that actually returned from a hiatus. Everyone needs a break and hopefully Hikari received vocal lessons during their break.
