More crappy music from them finally

No. And you will deal with opinions, hunty

More crappy music from them finally

http://direngrey.co.jp/special/bestalbum/en/
 
best album page has been updated with a "Twitter Project."
fans are asked to pick up one song from 29 included in VULGAR or MOO and tweet the title with an episode that makes this song special.
poll closes October 3rd.

I like how a long time active band like DIR EN GREY does not frequently release best of albums just to leech money from their fans compared to many bands on the same league. <3
 
I'll look forward to seeing the tracklist. I guess this will not be just an ordinary best of album. xD

OMG THIS IS GODLY I NEED A POSTER OF THIS <3

Nice find! This sounds like Kiyoharu put the trademark to Kuroyume's backlog up for bidding. As in the rights to owning the band's music are up for sale. This is what I gathered:
 
Public auction opened September 9th, bidding time starts September 13th at 1pm, ends October 9th.  estimated value of  "Kuroyume" is 200,000 yen, bidding starts at 50,000 yen. Rights were originally owned by Kiyoharu, who could not be reached for comment. He is selling the rights because of owed taxes and foreclosure (of properties?) The four different "Kuroyume" being sold would be inclusive of all the different ways the band has stylized their names on releases and promotions, which means Kiyoharu is truly selling everything. Rights to "Kuroyume" were seized by the government.  
All I can say is HOLY SHIT.

Below is @chemicalpictures explanation on the 3 types of auctions in Japan, to shed more light on how serious this is.

^ Vo.中村中(nakamura ataru) (assigned male at birth and but transitioned as femme) & Violin.Ayasa

Kyo was at his worst during the Withering tour where he was basically just shouting at the top of his lungs every night and losing his breath during every song. The live performance of Garbage on the Clever Sleazoid single is a perfect example: he couldn't get all the lyrics out, and the growling parts ("ladies and gentleman" and "please die") were actually backing tracks. 
 
But it sit down and watch the Arche Budokan lives. Kyo ain't perfect, but he's come a long way. 
 
EDIT:  just noticed the example of "bad singing" was from the Arche live, which is the best Kyo has ever sounded. He isn't "off", he's singing only one of the three vocal overdubs.

BAND NAME: NOTHING THEMSELVES

PV: KNOWING THEMSELVES

Shit, this totally means DEATHGAZE is done..

Unless they are popular and/or major,  nobody got money in the VK business. So yes, Buck Tick have some $$$
 
Acquintance of mine worked in the business told me how it work.
 
For the scouting to no name new bands, the systems are the label with lend them money, technically, for recording their first maxi, and it will usually have 1 or 2 upbeat songs, 1 ballad, and usually there will be SE too, this happened because budget given aren't big.
 
I said technically because the band will record their 1st maxi with the label's owned studio, and they are charging the band for it.
And after this maxi released, the band are in debt to the record label, not just for the recording, but also for the costumes, photographer fee and such, and each of maxi sold, the money goes into the label's pocket.
 
They pay up their debt, by selling their maxis, and another singles, or EPs, or else they will just disband cos they didn't make any money.
 
As for bands that never sell enough, they will be given options by the label, stop their music activity at once and never to be seen again, usually ended up as salary man, or disband and make a new band with another member of bands who also disband in that label.
 
If any bands disagree with either option, they will have a name change instead with new direction and looks and gimmick.
 
Meanwhile, those who always selling out singles after singles, after a year, they will be signed by flagship company (example: PSC). Meanwhile, the 2nd and 3rd best will be signed by secondary (i.e: SPEEDISK) and tersier (i.e: Resistar) labels.
 
Those who does not get signed by any labels but still want to continue will have to record music, they will have to do so with their own money, this is where shops like Like An Edison takes important role for them because releases below 500 copies will not be accepted for sale in major stores such as HMV and Tower Records. And the same reason why some bands did live show only CD-R album too often rather than official releases.
 
 
As for live shows at live houses, the band will pay for the live house fee, hence is why many new bands are always performing with 4-5 other bands to cover the rental fee. And depends in the scale of the event, usually each band will be responsible to pay for 15-25 tickets/band, say ¥1500x25, hence is why you will be asked who do you wanna see when you are attending concerts at Japanese live shows. And as for famous  bands or bands who affiliated with very good and reputable booking agency such as DNR, they will be listed as guest instead and free from all responsibilities from paying up the venue or at least they will gather their street team to fill up the venue.
 
Indie bands barely make any money, instead they got more debts, hence they have day jobs. They are only get money once they becomes big name in the scenes, signed by major labels, got endorsement from brands, and touring big venues all over Japan.
 
So if we are talking famous and established ones like The Gazette, DEG, Luna Sea, Buck Tick, L'ARC, MUCC, and such they make money and live well. But if we are talking about bands like Sibile Bashir, no they don't, they are dirt poor.
