The only thing that means is that the person now owns the brand "Kuroyume", its iterations and every intelectual property released so far. if Kyoharu and co. would someday do a reunion tour to play the classics, they would need to get its owner permission to act under the name and play said songs; If they ever want to release new shit under the name, they would have to ask permission aswell, and so on. That also means that if the owner wanna get some random musicians and say that's the new Kuroyume and release sugar pop music, it's his call.

Started Hollow Knight yesterday and I'm completely addicted. What a good game. I may be biased cuz metroidvania is my favorite genre, but this game is way too good. Great, beautiful aesthetics, controls, nice level design, hard combat, interesting story... If you like the genre this is a no brainer
 
Started Deus Ex HR for the second time, I've never went really far the first time playing. Having to stealth everyone is fun, but gets tiring sometimes. Sometimes I just wanna shoot a motherfucker in the face, but the diminished exp results are not really encouraging...
 
 
 

My epitaph

I really, REALLY wish I could peek inside their minds to understand what they were trying to say...
 
"You look really good in the suit which seems great."
 
"If I complain, I'll bite you."
 
"Because it's harsh, fucking sleep."
 
Jokes aside, I really like some of their music, and this totally looks like they were using google translate when writing lyrics, so it kinda makes me feel bad to make fun of it
 

I'm not against Engrish, just as a general rule, but with each new song they release they keep managing to push my tolerance limits just a little more. These English lyrics are so absurd. I don't mind necessarily because everything else is great, but some lines really are godawful. They deserve points for trying, though, I'll give them that.
 
Speaking on the music itself, I love everything they're doing. Some of the choruses feel a bit samey but it's not too bad, I don't mind it. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of this campaign of theirs, hopefully they keep releasing great stuff and don't burn out their ideas halfway through or something.

Man, they must be obsessed with the Xavier Institute of Social Service. I mean, how many song titles of theirs have "XISS" in it? 10?

Besides, I've listen music from loved VK bands that are FAR, FAR WORSE than his vktrope-fest shit like Sky Limit or Our Story, and this is coming from someone who couldn't care less for Yohio

oh gawd - can't wait for my copy to listen to their songs in full cuz damn that live snippet is fucking sick!

1 -  Be individuals, not a single unit. If you're both doing different things, giving each other space, finding your own friends it'll keep the relationship alive and chances are you won't get tired of each other.
 
2 - Take interest in the person. If you don't give a shit about their day, their life, where they've been/ what they have done, their opinions then you shouldn't be here. They'll feel undervalued and replaceable eventually.
 
3 -  As with above: Even if your personal hobbies and interests are different give it a try. You can have fun together, or at least you'll learn something new.
 
4 -  Take time to just talk. Make sure you cultivate a habit of being able to speak openly with each other about stuff. Surprised no one mentioned it yet but, communication is key.
 
5 -  Find out what is important to that person and make sure you respect it, even if it's an effort for you. It'll be worth it in the long run.

Gackt was just one of three different singers Malice Mizer had, he had nothing to do with their breakup.
 
Never heard that rumor before; 100% started by a western fan who was pulling stuff out of her ass. Anyone with a musical ear can tell that Mana and Kozi had no hand in writing Gackt's solo material. Apples and Oranges.
 
Gackt was likely not at Kamis funeral for the reason listed in my reply below. 
 
 
I don't know what official statements Gackt, Mana, or Kozi have made because we don't really need to, ya know? None of them will tell you what occam's razor will, because it's not flattering to either party.
 
Nippon Columbia decided that Malice Mizer were small potatoes and Gackt was the star. And they were right! Gackt wrote the highest charting single on Mervilles, Le Ciel, which also happened to be the most commercial song on the album. Gackt had the great voice, incredible looks, a legion of female fans and he wrote the biggest hit on the album. He was poised for stardom, Malice Mizer could hold him back. 
 
So Nippon Columbia put their money on Gackt solo and ditched the band, and their gamble paid off in spades. People tend to gloss over/forget, possibly due to Kamis death, that not only did Malice Mizer's label give Gackt a solo deal, but they dropped Malice Mizer. That wasn't a coincidence.
 
It is what it is. I hate Gackt solo, but wouldn't trade Bara no Seidou or the Klaha singles for anything. I just wish we'd get one more album out of MM.... instrumental, with Klaha, a new singer... I don't care.

SID, and it's not even a contest? Sid'll probably end up being the last visual kei band to really make it big, aside from Golden Bomber who were like a vk eulogy as the scene passed away peacefully  from natural causes with no relatives present and to the complete disinterest of the public at large.

Jokes aside, the preview doesn't sound all that bad. There are TONS of shittier bands that are loved on the scene, guess they'll find their space too
 
color me interested

well that's sad... but after their first vocalist departed it was just a matter of time, I guess
 
that pain in the ass member that complained on every single anemone's post is probably really happy now, lol

Recently I'm missing my piercings a lot lol So I don't feel really confident about my looks anymore, so pls don't mind
Until a few years ago I had 24 piercings and now I'm NAKED
How about you guys?
