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!!!

Apparently I have some Slytherin traits too and I can see why

My two cent is that angura-kei is a music/ visual/ theatrical exploration of the post war Japanese identity. I think a lot of artists in the Heisei period (post-Bubble and pre-millennium, so basically the 90s), the so-called "lost generation", questioned their place in a post-modern Japan that went through a century of extremes of war and peace. Some found inspiration and identified with the existential anxieties expressed by the counter-cultural movements in the 1970s, led by figureheads like Terayama Shuuji and Shibusawa. And the raccoon people have carried that subversive and transgressive context on to the present time by toying with time: some like the Inugami, Guru guru eigakan, etc. deliberately dress in pre-1945 ways with ghost/ butoh white face paint and sing about folktales and myths, as if to remind their modern audience of an innate Japaneses-ness by digging into the past; whilst the bleep bloop raccoon people, such as Metronome, Shinjuku Gewalt, etc. are trying to reconcile the technologically fast advancing future Japan with the lost identity in the present.
 
Of course, a lot of raccoon people feel the need to dress like characters from Terayama's films and make nagomu music is probably because many were born around the 1970s and be deeply influenced by all the social upheavels then. But I think it is because of their play on time, by the subversive questioning of the past and future in a transgressive fashion, that I think set angura kei bands apart from other bands that dress in kimono or sing kayoukyoku.

Yeah I heard that, but from what I remember it was Ryutaro telling Full about these bars were you could have drinks with girls' "bodily fluids", and Full was so shocked he stopped hanging out with Ryutaro after that moment
I think I read this happened at the backstage of some shows? They were pretty good friends but they suddenly stopped associating with each other after this

Welcome! There are so many people getting back into visual kei these days haha

God, I'm old... Ive been in to Japanese music since 1989. First piece of music I've heard was NOVELA - secret love. Got into Viskei later with out realizing that a few of the bands I like were considered that. AION, dead end, zi:kill, dies in cries... etc.  I would rather not get into too much history, anyway... thank you for having me!
