    pisces generally do well w. almost anybody, although it is a little bit more complex.
    this site does a good job elaborating on lots of stuff that explains your basic personality traits for example - 
    my moon in scorpio makes me a very opinionated asshole at times (omg guys that makes astrology official and the truest kind of fact!!!), but I do get a lot of scorpio attention and we generally get together beautifully.
    I would love to have some cancer/taurus romance later maybe (not as perfect/flawless/fiercely divine as scorpios, but better temper overall), virgos r very nice too.

    nekkichi reacted to Karma’s Hat in Truly crappy Western "visual kei" inspired music   
    This may or may not be the topic to rant in, but in the absence of a general gaijin bijuaru topic. 
     
    Weeaboo-kei will always without exception be shit until the lyricists and vocalists start revamping the formula and broadening their influences. Singing in a "traditional" VK fashion simply does not work when done by gaijins. It is made impossible by the fact that singing really bad emulations of VK lyrics in English reveals the their true nature: They're emo tripe that even filthiest goth of yesteryear wouldn't want to be associated with.  It will be a cold day in hell when the western scene gets a vocalist that is charismatic, unique and either a superb English/other gaijinspeak lyricist or extremely fluent in Japanese. Gaijins will simply have to get "less" VK to pull off VK. This doesn't apply just to Royzcore, but to any possible kotekote emulations as well where Japanese is half the charm. 
     
    Weeaboo-kei is not the only scene that has had this problem. Finnish post-punk for example is nearly impossible to digest with the lyrics being translated carbon-copies of those from the legendary British bands. Language is a big deal, and as translating The Cure in Finnish doesn't work just as translating The Gazette to English doesn't work. 
     
    I have had an interest in playing VK myself for ages, and I have often wondered how to surpass this problem.
    Basically unless one is an immensely talented vocalist from the get-go, there's no other option but to either only do songs where the lyrics amount to EINS ZWEI DREI VIERJAJAU, or take influence for genres in which the vocals are sung in a more foreigner-friendly manner. For gaijins, hardcore or post-punk esque talking and shrieking should be the way to go, with "singing" cut to an absolute minimum. Lyrics also influenced by western lyric writing tradition, not the cheesy as fuck engrish choruses that seem to be the bread and butter of all swedekei. I'd like to think that when someone does this successfully and a proper foundation is established, others will follow build it from thereon.  
     
    I have not encountered a scene that is in such a dire state as Visual-kei outside of Japan. While the number of weeaboos once easily rivaled that of the scenekids, and I even personally know weeaboos that are very apt with their instruments, so far there's only one musician of profile and not a single band with any promise.

    nekkichi got a reaction from CAT5 in the GazettE - FADELESS   
    sony have signed (and keep milking) mucc who are as relevant as tatsuro's mom though, I don't see them dropping gazette who still are selling strong for a heavier poprock VK
    pretty sure they're performing on par with alice 9 and dir en grey as of now, and way better than most of major vk acts, excluding nightmare and sid maybe.
     
     
    I faintly hope this means an incoming female devoid fadeless arrangement for the album, but "expectations"? Ruki dear u r delusional & it will get ur band killed

    they might have a better deal royalties wise or sony offered some extra perks with the contract (their marketing and promotion materials for both toxic and division are a+);
     
    sony might have better relations with gig organizers, and touring is where their money currently is.
     
    even if they album sales dropped, they're still more profitable as a band, thus they aren't trying as hard
     
    and idk, derangement was perfect, it's everything else that came with it was shit.
    they should have stayed with blip-blop-wubs and cut album fillers off, that would make them relevant again.

    silent hill 2 is where japanese horror peaked artistically tbh. get the ps2/xbox version if you can, recent hd remakes are very fucked
    sh3 is good too & I like the depressive atmosphere of sh4, the game itself is quite bad though.
    sh shattered menories was good gameplay wise, but gaijin modellers can not reproduce the brill Japanese characterwork --
    the characters r quite ugly to me, and it's really difficult to have any empathy with those dead eyed manequinns to be frank. silent hill 2 characters more often than not feel alive, although mostly really mentally unhealthy.
