    Yeah well, I figured this might be the best thread to ask^^

    But I'm surprised, I'd actually look deeper to find this thread, I'd have thought the band to be more popular on a vk forum.

    Aren't they like the top-band of that genre?

    They are popular but they've become more of a joke/meme as of late.  Just check the news thread for their *cough cough* new album.

    my crystal ball is kind of fuzzy, but Riku's now free and Kisaki is making a comeback, so I wonder what could possible hap-

    Oh hell yeah, didn't even think about that.

    I saw Hunger on Yahoo! auctions not too long ago, but I'm honestly not willing to spend $30 for one song anymore. I did that back in the days of UnsraW's Dust to Dust and now it's worth diddly squat (especially considering they released it several times afterward).

    Well they released it one other time anyway lol on "the dead sea" live limited version so it's pretty hard to obtain.

     

    Please do let me know if you see either of those on an auction again I wouldn't mind buying all of their CD's and getting them signed at some point in the future.

    I missed the opportunity to see them at their first live, too, and I went searching for Hunger and couldn't find it when I was there, so I feel your pain.

    Yeah I've never seen it on an auction so far either. I'm still wanting to own "Hunger" and the live limited version of "the dead sea" that includes "Hunger" as a bonus track. But as I said, I've never seen either available for purchase so far.

    Come on dudes, I know this is how vk is but can the promising bands at least try to keep their shit together for a little bit?

    Unfortunately it seems they can't help it.

     

    @Zeus quoting Ryuusei (ex-暁月 (Kyogetsu))

    Quote

     

    Everyone is upset that various bands are stopping activities but I want them to realize that one of the reasons behind this is that bangya don't really go to lives and spend money

     

    This hit a raw nerve with a lot of fans because it came on the heels of several unexpected disbandments. But this was just the tip of the iceberg. On his blog, Ryuusei went into detail about several aspects of the scene which up to now were just rumors and which come together to make life difficult for him and his band. A few of the things he mentioned (while also explicitly noting that he didn't know everything) were:

     

    Ticket quotas as fees for live performances. Ryuusei does the math on how many tickets they need to sell to cover for the fees, which is dependent on how many fans show up to see them and that's before the band members split the money five ways.

    Poor return on investment for popular vk standbys such as cheki.

    Name drops the GazettE in a section about how well popular bands with a "pretty bassist" do financially. This got Reita's attention with a fiery response of his own.

    Low wages paid from the indie labels.

    How difficult it is for bands to recover once they are "in the red" and how close 暁月 (Kyogetsu) is to reaching that point after three years.

    Asks fans to spend more money at shows, less at host clubs, and to tell him more information about salaries of other band men.

    Aside from their first release/live-limited version, everything this band has done has been in an attempt to reach an international audience. I hope it's working for them and I would be stoked to see them tour outside of Japan.

    Wow, when bands say they want to tour abroad it’s usually a half-assed statement. However, they really seem passionate in that video to actually really want to go overseas to perform. Good for them. I hope they know they actually do have fans outside of Japan! 

    Like all the English subtitles and lyrics. Yes I agree 100%.

    I think Sadie just tried to be Dir en grey starting out not as much toward the end of sadie's career. 

    I feel like the exact opposite of this statement is true. They started coping DEG with the release of "Cold Blood" but before that they had their own original sound.
