I was like 99 % sure they did it for sɔıʇǝɥʇsǝɐ until I've heard several lines in miyavi's coin locker baby (CD re-print after she went major) outright erased from the record and than I remembered japanese labels were paranoid about maintaining their image and basically signing to anything on/above starwave levels would result in The Beep.

they were on hiatus until 2020, their anniversary year, so idk yeah i guess??

vk/japanese entertainment is different from western music (in the west, record producers are paid once their songs are sold to someone + they might get a cut from each live performance, each licensing deal i.e. advertizing or movie tie-ins, etc, depending on their contract);
 
japanese entertainment has a talent agency that owns the band/artist and it sells the artist to a record label, and from there, it gets less clear for me because some artists are open about working for non-vk activities and getting paid for those, with others it's rly quiet (they might not get any composing money at all, settling for an office job style salary that covers everything they record and pitch to the label, regardless if that stuff ends up released under their name or sold further.)
 
Gackt (a self-proclaimed self-made/self-raised chanteuse and composer) paid his support musicians around $5k for composing his singles at his peak, iirc.

I did! I meant to check this status yesterday thinking "Good Hunter" XD

I've just read somewhere this week that not getting proper justice on abusive/unjust situations will eventually invite a snowballing sequence of same events in one's life, and while I don't necessarily agree with it, looking back on my own life it is true with a good amount of people.
 
repressing hurt feelings because someone's brain worms only leave them with the love&light&free forgiveness paradigm doesn't sound right for me either.

well oop

I had to move away from everything related to bible and christianity for variety of reasons, but an iteration of 109th psalm got me interesting, very satisfying results in the past.

I do want to clarify my stance a bit, so ppl don't get it twisted or misunderstand me. I take a Hebraic/Biblical approach to forgiveness, and from a Hebraic stance, everything requires an action (or actions) - so forgiveness isn't just some disembodied emotion or an intellectual exercise. For true forgiveness to take place, it must first be asked for. This seems like common sense, but it's hella important.
 
Secondly, true forgiveness requires restitution or restoration. So if you break my bike or something, then you can't give me a donut in return and expect me to forgive you. I have every right to withhold my forgiveness in that regard. Also, in terms of restoration, you have to go over and above in restoring whatever you took away or did damage to so that there are no hard feelings. So for example's sake: if someone steals your car, you're gonna be PISSED - but if that person restores not only the care they stole, but also buys you several more cars, then you're gonna be much more apt to not only forgive, but also to forget.
 
Thirdly, forgiveness requires repentance  - which essentially means to turn from your way. Cuz it makes absolutely no sense to ask forgiveness, and then to restore, only to do the same thing again. You haven't turned from your way in that case. You have to prove that you've turned a new leaf and aren't going to do whatever you did again. So forgiveness is neither free nor simply emotional, but it's a process that absolutely requires action.
 
This is forgiveness in its ideal state. But how many of us are living in a community or a country where the law is Torah? Where the law is righteousness itself? None of us are. So essentially, most of us are dealing with folks that don't give a fuck about forgiveness, or righteousness, or the evil that they do. So what do you do? What do you do when there's no path to forgiveness? What do you do when justice and restoration is impossible?
 
Well, it depends on your perspective and understanding of the world itself. For me, I understand that our creator is just and loves balance, and he will not be mocked - so everyone eventually reaps what they sow. This is where I feel bad for people that are overcome by wickedness because they often have no idea of the path that they're on. That, and people who are caught up in wickedness can change their ways. They're still gonna reap what they sowed, but they can still change their ways at some point. I'm proof of that myself. So I have empathy there, because i know i've been in darkness too. And still wrestle with it everyday.
 
So to close, no one is truly required to forgive, unless the requirements for forgiveness have been met. However, when those requirements cannot be met for whatever reason, for me personally, I find it best to fully experience the emotions associated with and let it go. To heal, essentially. Now that doesn't mean that i'm still going to fuck with whoever  transgressed against me, but at the same time, i'm not gonna let that person's actions weigh down my heart, and send me off into the kind of downwards spiral that @nekkichi mentioned.
