    I think one of the reasons VK might have such a high turn over rate is that a lot of people who listen to VK seems to listen to VK only. That's not an healthy way to approach an "hobby", and one is bound to get tired of it. It's also hard to follow bands for a long time since the lifespan of a vk band is shorter than average, so that might be turn off for people after a while. 

     

    Also the way VK is "marketed" is closer to idol music than it is to """normal""" music, and just like how people stop following idols at some point, the same happens with VK. I dont consider the visual kei > kpop passage to be moving from one thing to another, but moving to a different version of the same thing.

    [1] Kiru also carries the meaning of "to complete", so this could also be an abstract way of saying one worked hard for nothing?
    [2] To my ears, Full only pronounces "aki", not "banshuu", the full reading of "晩秋". Aki, the first kanji, has the same meaning. Don't know what to make of ban, which is nightfall, whether he meant it to be a lyrical idea guide, or just didn't sing it, or what.
    [3] The more common reading I've run into is, more or less, "all sorts/kinds/manner of". The first version I had was "complete deception" or "total trickery". Apparently all pronounced the same. Pick and choose your own meaning, here! :)
    [3] Another interpretation, I think, would be "reliant on cowardly lies".

    if one really thinks about it, politicians are in fact quite like musicians of visualkei:

    - it's all about the looks & public performance

    - their instruments are the states of the country they govern

    - sometimes they go on indefinite hiatus

    - no matter how many scandals they get involved in, there will always be stans ready & waiting for them to make a comeback

    - multi-type albums & singles

     

    Indeed

    full?

     

     

    guniw tools full?

     

    guniw tools full who released like three albums of completely plagiarised work?

    It was only two albums wdym 🙃

     

    Jokes aside, not saying he was 100% in the dark about it, but on those two albums Asaki was the main "composer" 

    There are no plagiarism issues in any of the previous albums (Jake was the composer then) nor in any the 4+ bands Full was in after Guniw (where he is the main composer)

     

    Also there's a 10 pages long thread about plagiarized songs in here leave this man alone!!!
