You're doing it for the wrong reasons then. Realising things like that in the way you're describing is just a part of growing up imo. Of course "geeky" stuff like obsessing over music or anime won't be enough to fulfill you. But that doesn't mean that it's "worthless". You'll have to transgress the thought that all this stuff makes up who you are, that's not a helpful perspective. But the fact that these things are a part of your life in the way they are is actually interesting and says a lot about you.

Malice Mizer's fault, with their 1th anniversary 

i'll keep it a secret until the day of arrivel comes but trust me its probably like for 90% of everone who's into heavy Vk bands the number 1 most wanted CD. ;D
*at least for those who are into Vk for a few years...)

I'm with you. I would argue though that a certain immobility or apathy when it comes to innovation is symptomatic of every niche genre. The extent of that immobility grows in proportion to number of parameters required to constitute that niche.
But "mainstream" vk has always been strongly influenced by trends in popular music anyway and that's not exactly the frontier of creativity either. That's why I think that looking at the fringes of certain genres is generally most interesting... well, it depends on what you're looking for, I guess.

Mine is Aka's chorus

Oh yeah! The "mode of" concerts still overwhelm and astonish me. I can only imagine how intense it must've been to witness them live.

Would have loved to see this tour 😢 

Amazing performance! One of my favorite from them  Kyo at it's best!
 

I'm actually disappointed by Immortal Verses. I think it's only marginally better than Recurrence Of Hallucination because even though we get five "new" songs, they still sound recycled and partly copied & pasted from older SS or Hora's solo material 😔 Also, Kaya is a great singer but the vocals sound a little strange in the mix at times. Vocals should never invoke the image of "guy in small room singing loudly into a mic", at least not with such persistence as is the case with this mini. Where's Schwarz Stein's ethereal vibe? It's like they lost touch with themselves. Wachtraum is the only song I didn't want to skip on first listen 😕 
 
Hora's RESONANT on the other hand really surprised me. I was expecting the same old but he actually seems to have progressed a little sonically with this one. It's a very somber, moody, and atmospheric album. He seems to have borrowed a little from movie soundtracks and put his own spin on it which I really like (I was getting strong Disasterpiece ["It follows" soundtrack] vibes for example).

ah yes, this is because i still haven't updated the new skin which should fix all these issues. i'll need some time to make sure all the stuff is in the right place but i will fix it!

stream was great, got some nice goodies :>
