@CAT5 Agreed! It’s a great way to get exposed to new artists/genres that I might have not listened to on my own otherwise ^^ Looking forward to participating in the next one~

@CAT5 looking forward to it already! and thanks for following ‪(*ˊᵕˋ* )

I'm glad yall participated! These are always a good, fun way to connect and share with other J-rock fans. We'll probably host another one in two months or so!

it really was! i'd gladly do something similar again sometime later~

Why thank you!!!

Felt the same way. I think my brain was temporarily fried after I finished writing up the review. I guess it didn't help that I finished it well past midnight XD But at least it was fun ^^

oh wait yeah then you better stop.  in that case if i had to choose i'd better try to quit drinking than smoking tbh, drinking without smoking is a waste anyway. 
being busy with smth you're really interested in really helps btw, like, i won't drink if i know i have to do my homework, but im lucky i realised i love studying before it was too late. finding something you can really dedicate yourself to is not easy, especially when you are not feeling okay. just being super busy doesn't work - we all know how nice it is to reward yourself with some beer after an awful day.
you know i've never self-harmed, but i feel you in some way, coping with pain can be really difficult. i've heard therapists can help but if things were so easy you wouldn't bring up such themes in the first place huh?

I don't mind the twitter embeds with the translation (it does not have to be accurate, just a general summary), it's a legit source and it's basically where the breaking news comes from. As for a shitload of tweets/videos/other embeds that take up a lot of space, I recommend putting that in a spoiler as it takes longer to load.

like, if i'm going to post some information from a twitter for example, i don't have to post both the original tweet and translation of it, but just the translation?

being sober is overrated

tbh i can't give a good piece of advice cuz i have like shifting phases of when i really want to smoke a lot and when i almost don't smoke at all. wish i could help tho, abstinence must be tough...hope you'll overcome it eventually〜

i think there always was a shitload of garbage bands, most of them were forgotten as will be many of bands we have today. but i agree with you on the other part, im quite excited about what's happening on the scene nowadays, and i want to see what will happen to such great bands in future. 

True. At least MH is sort of in the middle ground where we can be positive and negative when we feel like it instead of being super positive like *insert VK community name here* or super negative like Tumblr. *shudder*

Haha, thanks! Yo-ka is such an amazing, handsome singer, so I couldn't resist~  (Totally biased, but what's not to like him about? ) 

bless 🙏

honestly it might be the production that entirely turns me off from them, and the cheesy over the top catchy choruses is exactly what i hate about western metalcore, i will give him that hes good at harsh vocals but everything is just to blah for me 

I'd get the DIAURA DVD, too. I know I will when I have more money.
 
Speaking of, do you guys think DIAURA would let me have it for free if I told them my birthday was Gumin day? No? Okay...

'seija no koushin' is a bittersweet day, I'd say. at least it's not a 'this day. this rain.' kinda of day, those ar rough, lol
 
 

Thanks!

i haven't gotten into the gallo cuz of the vocals either, but I live for their recent single, PLUTO tho :v
 
 

I've tried getting into them a few times too. I like their sound and their songs but the vocals kill me. I can't get used to that screeching. Does anyone else have that problem? Will I get used to it if I just persist? 

Lucifero is my favorite album by them but I think Shinigami is their best song
