Bands I keep an eye on/follow: LUNA SEA DIR EN GREY glamscure Insanity Injection La'veil Mizeria ラヴェーゼ Gossip 黒百合と影 DIAURA グリーヴァ (although they're disbanding by new year) ぞんび Crucifixion アマンジャク。 Gibkiy Gibkiy Gibkiy sukekiyo That's what I can think of from the top of my head, I'm probably missing some bands.

cant get over this track as of lately lol. so amazing edit: also VVVV

Kinda depends I guess. I mean, I have some magazines, and in some releases there are photos/photobooks/photo cards etc. So in that sense I guess I kinda do, but I don't save them digitally.

Anyone picked up any good game as of lately? I bought the new dragon ball game but It's unfortunately not as good as I had hoped (despite being a dragon ball fan since the age of 11). I am considering buying both Golf Story and Steamworld Dig 2 while waiting for Mario Odyssey and Fire Emblem Heroes. I am also thinking about the One Piece game but the Dragon ball game made me sceptic to games based on mangas. Have anyone played it, if so - is it any good?

VAT D A N C E

First of all: second "vk sucks nowadays"-topic of the year? You already have one from earlier this year. Anyway, try out other bands as well, there's tons of great bands in the scene. It's pretty common that bands who keep going for 10-20 years don't put out the same quality as they did when they were younger, even outside of VK.

２０１３年から２０１５年まで東京に住んでたよ。冬休みに一時的に帰国したんだけど笑 なるほどね。ライブ楽しんでね。でもそうじゃなくて、何かライブじゃなくて、観光とか、友達と遊ぶとか、そういう予定もあるんですか？って聞いたんだよ　＞＜ 僕の本命は黒百合と影とグリーヴァだからAINS PRESENTSライブによく行ってた。アインスのバンドだけじゃないけどね。 @akippon会話のやりとりは難しいよね！　頑張ってください！(◕‿◕)

はじめまして。 日本懐かしいなあ、戻りたいなあ。楽しんできてね。 ライブ以外なんか予定あるの？観光地がいっぱいあっていろんなところに観光者として行くのも楽しいよ。 おすすめな場所がたくさんあるんでいつでも聞いてね。

Not sure how active I'll be, but hopefully a bit at least. Name: Takadanobabaalien/マコ Age: 26 Years studied: 2 years in Tokyo, been trying to motivate myself to do self studies but I don't have the discipline. Estimated level: Upper intermediate Knowledge of Hiragana/Katakana: All Kanji: I can read about 800-900 kanji. What is your main goal with studying Japanese?: I want to get fluent at some point. What materials have you used before?: I've used tons of books, completed 6-7 books while in Japan. We used Minna no nihongo for the first year and then we went on with another series. I'll post the name once I get home and can see them. I used nihongo soumatome as well, it's very good.

yeah so at klubb lunacy we were... 5? people from MH. I guess that could be considered a MH meet-up. would be cool to organize something bigger though.

Privilegie for buying both versions at the same store is a CD containing 6 new songs (all written by one member of the band)

How would Go baby go even be a reference to that song? Is that some sort of inside joke I'm not getting?

lmao, right! as a matter of fact, it was lycaon x avelcain twoman boys only (https://www.last.fm/event/3913666+『-BOY’Z+ONLY-男の中の男!!!!!!』) live now that I think of it. It was very fun and we were a total of 20~guys in the audience. it was very intense though. I remember at one point the vocalist of Lycaon grabbing a guys head and pushing it against his crotch for a good 3~ minutes or so while singing. funny thing though, my friend also told me that it is not unheard of for girls to try and dress up as boys and get in to boys only lives because there's less people and it's more intimate. @lichtlune I've never attended a non-vk gig in japan (except for a band I saw in a jazzbar in setagaya-ku, we were 3 ppl in total lmao), but a friend of mine saw the band with wolf heads (man with a mission?) and according to him it was the same as seeing any other western band in the west.

The majority of the japanese fans are indeed girls/women, that being said - there still exists male fans. They're called ギャ男 (gyao, slang for bangya + boy). I have some japanese gyao friends who I've been to lives with and it's usually very fun. Of course it all depends on the band as well, I've never seen nokubura live but from what I've heard they have a big male audience for a vk band (probably because of their heavy music), when I attended a Avelcain boys only live one of my gyao friends told me most guys there was gay (he's gay himself as well), and for some reason I think that's the case a lot of the time. Also the fact that boys only live exists proves that there is indeed male fans. But to answer your question: yes, most japanese men (and women) dislike visual kei. It's a small and niched scene.

it has lastest 7 years so far so yeah

According to bangya's on tanuki, Roshi (support dr) has officially joined Kuroyuri to kage today. It was announced on their talk at a vk indies store. Has yet to be updated on their OHP/blogs though.

their latest single was great, i hope the PV is just an exception because i dont like this sound

They wrote yesterday that they were all visiting him at the hospital.
