all of us obv

you don't get my point, looking cute is easy. bbcream, silicone base and hair extensions cost less than $ 500, add thousand or another for costumes (assuming they're custom tailored or/and any more or less known brand.) making music, on the other hand, requires skill, effort, time, good mixing engineer and a producer. idk if he has the former, but his voice is so weak so no amount of studio work helped it. I don't get the fascination with attention-whoring teen who can only produce sub-tokio hotel grade work - and those guys at least were earning money with their crap. do you realize that PSC bands are largely formed by poor fame-fungry under-educated boys tired of working for host-clubs? his dad has enough cash to buy PSC and make it Yohio Piss and Smile Records, why would he bother Tomomi to work with him? Universal is entirely different league from WeeWeed and Ayabyebye type of bands (even though later have signed to a major label after actually making music for half of decade.). his starting point is something that a real Japanese band can't afford for many years of actuall work in the industry, see CEO [my dad's cash is my entertainment] @ his twitter. loving u irl

commercially, their major albums are all disastrous. they have only got a tiiiny bit of recognition when cyclone was pushed into animoo ending by their than label and sold about 6k copies, but it never helped to sell their albums. their looks and name and sound and attitude have zero appeal to the typical jpop fan crowd, and their successful UCP past actually may turn people off because VK is gross tranny music for tsuganari that good grls should be ashamed of listening to. wataru also stabbed (?) a girl at some point, doesn't help sell his miusic to teenagers either (getting even sign of criminal record is suicidal in Japan, remember that laruku drummer and daishi? kisaki seems to get away with it tho lolz)

you're always welcome to update us with "basement dweller fanzine top picks of 2011" and DSS's awesome reception on /mu/ and ffsatsu boards. I just prefer sale numbers and recognized media. I'm that biased.

withering to death took 34-th place in Japanese rock albums top 100 by rolling stone jpn - http://neojaponisme.com/2007/11/09/100- ... ck-albums/ flop piro failo where? (in case you didn't notice, I'm indirectly asking for DSS praise from mainstream Japanese media. Oh wait, DSS ees not mainstreem and no one cares about it anyomore, right?) I clearly see your reading comprehension shortcomings (thanks for taking time to put words in my mouth, btw, nice to see how little of my posts actually made it through your retina towards ear-to-ear void you have there). not to mention D Tommy is largely known for burying bands carreers (see rentrer en soi and merry if diru sales mean nothing to you), but seeing your shining intelligence, I'm not sure this is even an argument for you, xoxo. I won't also bother spraying gas on fires here until they actually announce new material and show previews. personally, I'm extremely curious about what creative plans they're pregging out atm, but there's nothing to actually discuss as of now. ps: > what I was highlighting to prove nekkichi wrong try harder, xo.

love their name, very zizzy

kawaii since 1980 (roughly 10 years before you were born)

because their management sees them as direct alice9/larcenciel competitors and pushes more money into marketing/promotion/TV exposure I guess.

don't worry bb it feels good.

> since it's quite hard to get any releases from Japan in my homeland xp dhl.com

will you be happy if next dir en grey LP is a 3 CD rihanna cover collection coproduced by skrllx? it will make them instafamous at the same time. also who cares about having either merit or taste btw this thread was lacking in funny images recently (I was tempted to post chris crocker gifs @ end of prev page however) I'm gonna start but team effort is appreciated

I need a collab album between both easily best miavi's work of past 10 years tbh

first 15 seconds literally scream SUG rip his career attempts love how he could make a fun indie-an cafe style PV, but instead went the omg muzak is srs business route.

being a second band on a tour with someone 10 years younger than you and a light year behind in terms of skill is NEVER a "not bad" idea. if they were touring with korn, metallica, rammstein or suddenly went classy and coupled with smashing pumpkins, that would be not bad.

^ and don't forget the assking alexandria coupling tour that could celebrate their fame and acclaim even more than 5 Chile concerts did already.

haloperidol time bb, you're getting redundant.

on /mu/? girl I clearly see that you have nothing to back your words up with except for dark music wankers who suddenly discovered a world of japanese twisted shit. that's all cool and stuff, but I did that nine years ago, surprise! and those chinky-eyed Japanese girls did that twenty years before, and now those mean bitches DON'T UNDERSTAND DIR EN GREY EITHER, they don't feel THE DEPTHS OF KYOS DESPAIR, and more than that, they probably also prefer to spend money at vivenne westwood and not tower records I said that yesterday - MOO flopped. It's their worst selling major album in their domestic market. there's no data on their total NA sales, but from my experience, non-classical non-English bands don't do it in America. they are not Vanessa Mae, and many jpop idols who tried to make it in America flopped dramatically either. they all are only big in Japan, and diru are losing japanese fan support steadily. I see why it happens, and you only see how awesome they are over your cum-stained fanboy prism.

girl, one more time I don't genuinely care about websites called "primal noise", "bloody disgusting" and "rock sound", period I want to see how many people paid their $ 20 to support a North American release of that album.

so let's get all together and circle jerk to tsumi to kisei

because I can, so to say? because I'm probably not the only person, not being both happy with their current phase and delusional about their success? because my posts can cause as much, if not more, empathy rather than butthurt? because my tone can change if this band stops doing stupid shit, and stops glorifying retarded decisions? because it's pretty much only you and a relentless piss-pour happy about current deg, and many others can agree that their direction of TMOAB and MOO is a big mistake, that is still in the reversible stage? didn't I explain my point enough on prev. page and before so you could really skip asking dumb questions?

^ jsyk you can as well ignore my postings.

have you considered switching your meds at this point? soooo give me total sales? their subway celebration had an afterparty in mccafe drivethrough?

I don't like most of their recent ballads at all, to be honest - they've nailed it with mushi/itoshisa and any inconvenient flopdeals haven't came close to. I also don't think that anyone will care about a ballad LP unless it's a Kyo poem book type of release, OR, we're talking about ohaitswilliam's. I don't like his recent operatic woah-wahhs. I don't like to the point where I prefer good Kyo clones (unsraw, schmelz cure) to Kyo himself. I don't like his growls. I don't like how bland all their recent music is, coming from the same producer who made kr cube and the whole bunch of vulgar singles. as well as over 100k sales in general. Pierrot did that too, pierrot where? another beautiful example is Miyavi, with his cutte attempts to be a pale Japanese lil wayne copy - his latest single sold 3,000, and that on a major label. now this is the part where it opens ENDLESS possibilities for dirustans to make up shit. do you have their actual sales numbers? just the fact they've been released through Dead Ass records and moved to Fuckcorewho Productions, instead of being published through american sony branch, speaks largely of their "success". 5000 downloads in Texas don't make an album successful, they largely earn from touring. and by the way bb, you'd be surprised that dir en grey have 30 y.o. fans, that they have 40 y.o. fans as well - and those got into the band some 10+ years ago. their tastes haven't changed to fit the shitty new direction. it's not just teenagers and nolife metalheads. you may be obsessed with every new fart out of Kyo's throat, but if it doesn't work for old fanbase, no amount of br00tal t33nag3rs will save the drowning ship (unless, as I said, they do 4 years of 3rd world touring after any other new album) dress nicely - see how Toshiya, Shinya and to some extent, Die are dressed. While Toshiya is probably the only dude in the party who has a permanent GF, thus not going completely batshit with his looks, shitty track suits and shaved head don't make it for lots of people, not just me. for "what's bad about shirts/sweaty socks/tracksuits" I guess if you don't see it, no amount of flawless looking Japanese hipsters and HK fashion kids will open your eyes. upd: so MOO sold less than 4 k for ALL the US according to wikipedia? for a country with population over 2x larger than Japan's? now that's success, I agree, they can finally afford a subway sammich release party, and maybe a bottle of hennessy for Dynamite Tommy.

^ you're strongly and redundantly disagreeing with something I have not implied with my post ( -s), and take a lot of context out of stuff that I type. but your white horse looks gorgeous today.

and, ironically, the most homophobic societies are the one most obsessed with Geezus, because Bible provides enormous opportunities to judge others based pretty much on everything, but gay people have a special place in every Chreesteahns heart. Modern Russia is about as batshit religious as any mormon community in the US - and levels of homophobia (and passive homosexuality, that often go hand in hand) are alarming here. at the same time, I've been living in the largely Buddhist Thailand for the past half year or so, and I've been super amazed by amount of openly gay people and variety of lgbt community here, and how no one really gives a fuck when two guys are making out openly outside of gay-only venues. at the same time, I'm often browsing expat websites, and pretty much every gay-bashing thread is either started or fueled by 50 y.o. Aussie/Brits/redneck rejects, often ex-navy, who can't accept their own vigorous itch in the butt and morning cock craving. and than goes don't ask don't tell, school bullying, etc etc etc just because you don't see something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist or I'm wrong doing my bitter and mean generalizations. if you see two black kids on a bike, lock your bike in the garage (too lazy to look up actual Tina Fey phrase here), so this part is not so undeserved, let's be fair. I hope morons who attacked you die of aids they contract blowing some married closetqueen, though.
