    Rize reacted to Jigsaw9 in New band Re;dark Project   
    New band Re;dark Project has formed on 2020/12/29 with the following members:
     
     - guitar: アザミ (ex-JIGA)
     - bass: 斗唯 (ex-RAKUGAKI)
     
    Instrumental sample:
     
    Good to see the Ains boys channeling their creativity together! Hopefully this'll become a full band in the near future.
     
    edit: This is also connected to the Project.R session, at least they're both in that and are advertising it as their "next live":

    I've been here for 10 years, at first just a bit of lurking here and there and when the chat feature came I've always been there each single day to have a chat with everyone and to cheer people up as I've been known as the positive fairy who cheers everyone up

     
    I've got to know quite some people here who I'm still in touch with^^ (after I came back after 5 years).
     
    I think the most memorable thing was:
    That thing with Akane (Para:noir/D.I.D) where everyone went nuts for some specific comment about religions or something. I remember @Karma’s Hat used to had it in the signature >,<
     
    My duties which I did for the staff team back in the days. Also the end of the year staff music reviews was really nice organized and fun to do 
     
    Honestly I've always been quite a introvert person but thanks to you all I've become a more open person both online and irl  
     
    I hope to stay in touch with everyone!
    I do have a few people of MH on my social media accounts, feel free to follow and message me so we can stay in touch!

    FUCK IT, DOUBLE POST.
     
    Figured since I'm stuck with my old PC now I might as well do a deep dive in hopes of coming up with some funny images from days of yore. Unfortunately it didn't yield a haul as big as I anticipated...but anyway, here are some things I dug up that I found funny (or that were funny at one point in time).
     
    While MH closing got us like...
     

     
    ...let us think of the good times. Remember when Akane from D.I.D. expressed his religious views, even tho nobody asked?
     

     
    But he wasn't the only one to be brilliant on social media. THE HAKKIN were pretty lowkey but they managed this whopper once:
     

     
    Remember the MOO album from DEG? Or DOGEMA from the GazettE? Or...
     

    (ok I know I'm the only one who still finds doge funny in 2020 idc)
     
    Anyway, when it comes down to it, love is the answer. Let that special someone in your life know your true feelings.
     

     

     
    ...or you can just get to the point.
     

     
    Sadly I don't have many screenshots from MH itself, but for some reason I kept this gem by @Tokage:
     

     
    Closing off, let's remember that through all the good, bad or strange times it has always just been about the music, maaan. We're just a bunch of people going crazy over some (mostly) random underground fan-exploiting-or-worse weirdos who probably don't even know or suspect we even exist. Opinions are opinions, no need make a big fuss over them, but... I think we can agree that visual kei at its peak has made us all feel a bit of what @Shaolan974 once formulated that has stuck with me to this day:
     

     
    Adios once again, MH.

    It's a been a long ride. I've been on here for 11 years, close to 12. Everything has to come to an end and I honestly can't say where I would be without this place. Without any hesitation I can say that Monochrome Heaven, or Tainted World as it was when I first joined, changed my life. I'm genuinely curious how that makes people like Zess and Ito feel that they've had such a significant impact on a person's life just by making this place and running for all these years. The current trajectory on which my life is on was set by all the friendships I've made in this place over the years, and through everything I went through this place was a constant companion. Zess, Bear/Sumostig, Junna, Shizu, Whirlingblack especially have been significant to me and I'm grateful. Who knows how deep I'd be in normiedom without these people influencing my taste in the way they did. If it wasn't Christmas with the family I wasn't as tipsy as I was, I'd probably have a whole lot more to say about this than I do now. Me and Whirlingblack started really hanging out proper in the beginning of 2017 when I decided to just bail Finland. I stayed at his place for some time and I don't remember what we did together, but what I do know for sure is that it was the kind of debauchery what we would we doing together and independently to this day. Shizu is another person that by his existence has assured me I'm first of all not entirely alone in world with my tastes and interests. 
     
    But it wasn't just the few people that one stuck around with all these years that made the place, but also all the characters that've come and gone over the years. There is so much stuff to dig out of the annals of monochrome heaven and tainted world that in my case it'd be a book. 
     
    What the new people on here don't know, is that this place had a tremendously active chat back in the days that was integrated into the website. Almost every was there at one point, and during its heydays absolutely nothing was going on my life, so I was there almost every minute or every single day.  In my country you have to take dancing lessons for the prom for like six months, and in 2012 when I went through that thing most of that time I'd be giving live status updates throughout the whole experience. Before and after I'd be sitting in Mcdonald's drinking coffee and it became a running joke that I was always online, always people watching in Mcdonald's. Probably some of my best memories from the board are from the chat years. Shoutout to everyone who was there to experience it
     
    So much stuff has happened on this board that new people have no idea, because so much has been lost to chat logs, private messages and purges over the years. The forum as it stands rn is only a tiny fraction of all that had taken place. 
     
    I'm too drunk right now to remember any of this stuff, but it means so much to me and I'll cherish all of these memories forever. Here is some of people I've met irl over the years from here in a random order 
     
    wb, marcus, jigsaw, shizu, saltofstones, allisapp, panda, pretsy, hyura, slsr, stylelover, 237q, gaz, tokage and many, many others I've met for a minute or two during gigs. 
     
    I proofread none of this
     
    Those who don't have me anywhere can follow me either on here https://twitter.com/SoderlundAleksi or just add me on fb Aleksi Söderlund
     
    Everyone who I've shared this place with. 
     
    I love you all. Good bye and thanks for the memories, all those i've laughed or fought with.

    Hey everyone! It's been a while! (Probably 5 years since I stepped down as moderator here, damn!)
    I'm kinda back into VK/J-Rock and stuff, so I'm probably trying to start hanging out here more like the old days.
    I hope everyone is still doing fine and well!
     
    I wonder who are still active here from the time I was active on this forum. Anyways, like old days, hope to get a chance to talk through the chat!
    Also, I'm open to any band recommendations, hit me up with links as spotify and such.
    Maybe my lastfm will help with some recommendations ^^
    I'm currently still into MEJIBRAY and I also like bands such as ACME, HAKLO, Versailles, Diaura, Nocturnal Bloodlust, Royz.
     
    Hope to see my old friends again as meeting new friends!

    Rize reacted to Jigsaw9 in Tsuzuku/GENKI TAKEBUCHI new project SpelL first single "SPELL" release   
    Looks like ex-MEJIBRAY/8p-sb frontman Tsuzuku/GENKI has a new project called SpelL. First digital single titled "SPELL" will be released on 2020/12/15.
     
    You can see a snippet of the music video here:
     
     
    And if at least 300 ppl retweet this, he'll reveal the full version:
     
     
    Honestly, I feel like I would like the song itself if not for this godawful no-budget ridiculously ass production. Hoping this is not the "final product" but just a taste of the general direction of this project right before recruiting actual band members (cuz then I'd listen to their future releases for sure).

    The vocal melody and the way he performs it sounds like it could be from an unreleased, late-Mejibray song. The problem is that he is 
     
    1. in his shitty apartment, filming this with the same web camera he does vlogs with
    2. he probably produced it himself
    3. the most he could invest in a look was a suit rental, or just using the one his mom bought for him for a relative's funeral back in 2004
    4. he is already sending sms to his mitsu, telling them to wire him more money for ramen or otherwise he isn't going to do this
     
    when you have such a rinky-dink start to your new project, I'm not holding out any hopes. he is my favorite bandman of the 2010's but after the 8P-SB i just can't let myself be emotionally invested anymore. now, not having a budget is not a problem... if this was a genre with some idk artistic ambition and integrity such, and not the polar opposite, which is vk. it's been a long time since we had bands like ruellia and mercuro that went on without any production values with sheer vision and T A L E N T. this isn't going to be one of those
