Wow
Why does this sound so unprofessional?
I can't believe this shit is made from two guys who got shitload of money and work in the music industry for over ten years

very very boring band.

For me, somehow they start to get repetitive already, especially their song structures and really obviously the vocals (I mostly like what hes doing, but i feel hes out of ideas already and does the same thing in every song). 終日終わり is your typical filler song and i defintly heard those riffs in 死魔流し before. Still liking them and especially that bass! Wonder how many fans are at their lives, i can imagine they were one of the fastest growing vk indies in the last year(s)?

cough tsunagari cough

why you guys so shock about their popularity? I don't follow them closely, but their singles and album got on oricon MAJOR chart top 10 frequently, they doing better than some of the major vk bands.

u mean 華那 just 華n 那t contain his ドラゴン and this will result in a コドモ ?

If Lynch. as a unit wanted Hazuki on bass then it would've happened a long time ago. Occasionally for shits and giggles they do a line up switch. Nocturnal Bloodlust, L'arc en ciel, and a few other bands do this as well.  

Why are ppl so sour over someone committing a mistake that did no ACTUAL harm (physical or psychological) to people around them?  This is not 12012's chokeslamming Wataru - and lest we forget that MH used to endorse him (!).
 
Puritans and J-rock fans altogether makes a very fascinating, albeit really conflicting combination.
 
For the record, there's still a huge number of acts you are stanning for that also practice this stuff, albeit less recklessly than Akinori did. They cherish their friendship and that is damn good. Says a lot about the band.
 
 

I was convinced that Akinori was done and Lynch. would just revert back to having only session bassists. When i seen this thread title I had to do a double take because of how harsh Japan is when it comes to drugs in general and past incidents (IE the former drummer of L'arc en ciel). For the first time ever (?) on here I can actually see both sides of feels expressed here.  This was a fairly big deal and a huge blow to long time fans, only to have dude come back a year later. Also on the flip side, facts is facts. No matter how you feel about Lynch's musical direction, AK is that missing piece that they needed for so long. He's a pretty kick ass bassist and on top of that, his personality and stage presence just blends well with the rest of the members. I also remember reading on here (i think @cvlticmentioned it) that having him around was great for fans as well. This whole situation is a nice lil testament to show that these guys are more than just band members and are willing to stick their necks out as a unit for one of their own. 
Turn your location on, bro. You sound like you need a long over due hug, lemme give it to you. This literally says "It sucks that they're no longer mad at this dude and the situation is resolved."

i bet your tits tanuki nostradamus has the answers to all the questions in this thread lets dox HA and investigate

Dude was charged for possession of marijuana, right? Who fuckin cares??
 
People acting like they are giving free pass on a murderer or something, lmao

At lynch.'s countdown show last night, Akinori appeared during the encore, and after an apology, announced he will be returning to the band.

can't believe they are letting this DRUG ADDICT and JUNKIE into the band again. sad!

"Take no break"(テクノブレイク) is Japanese engrish, it means masturbation to death, that's pretty accurate description to his voice LOL

Surprised to see Secilia Luna back

fake news...stop diverting from the truth.
yoshiki emailed people of this forum to share his special artwork and promotional materials to best meet the needs of foreign market.

Calling it now - Polysics will cover FUZZ. 

They used to quite popular, but they got cocky and treat their fans like shit. Their fans even created a website to documents the shittie things they did.LOL

Heresy! Encores are an integral part of setlist planning. I say this as someone who have spent way too much time writing setlists for bands I like. They can provide a necessary break to not cause an abrupt break in the flow between styles (see Dir en grey doing their Marrow of a bone tour busting out MISSA material during the encore), as a way to build tension and expectation and to just allow the band a chance to breathe so they can have energy to squeeze out a few more tracks instead of perform a measly 15 songs.

she lives to scam another day

can't help but feel that this whole debate is much ado about nothing 
 
if you're living in japan and regularly go to lives then you're entitled to give your opinion on their lives. if you're an international fan who voraciously gobbles up all their releases (legally or not) then you're entitled to evaluate the quality of their recorded music. the problem only arises when this discussion bleeds into the neighboring terrain of 'how does one objectively judge a band's quality?' or 'what's the proper way of enjoying a band?'--which never fails to generate 5 pages of same old thing that impresses no one in particular...
 
then there's the question of how much instrumental value you are actually of to the band, which is related but entirely separable from the first. it's def true that the actual impact of someone ordering a 3000 yen album from CDJapan on the band is probably a lot less than they think, but that doesn't reduce the weight of their opinion on the band's recorded music. critics all over the world are paid to do exactly that: to give their opinions while remaining pretty much monetarily irrelevant.

Idk why everyone think the visual kei bands are something like superstars.  Its a very underground genre even in Japan.
There are very few bands (like 10) who can called successful. 
The other 100-1000 bands are all struggling and gets support from family, friends and a few fan girl to be able to continue their dream to be famous.

btw better to not mention about the producing of Under Code Production, when Vior Gloire oneman had like 15 people.
the label literally sank after the magnificent 12012-Vidoll-Phantasmagoria trio.
