This abrupt message really makes me think if Yukika had something to do with Koyomi and Mutsuki leaving? Maybe there's been drama behind the scenes that we can't see? 

CD shops and regular bookstores.
 
For old ones, check book off. They have A LOT and they're usually very very cheap. 100-300 yen each. I really recommend book off in Shibuya. It's close to scramble crossing.

Does Dir en grey know they're participating in the new X Japan album?

Kanske missuppfattar dig nu p.g.a. sjukt tidigt på morgonen men vadå, menar du att man inte är ~kvalificierad~ nog om man inte gillar äldre visual kei också?
 
Alla börjar någonstans, och majoriteten av dom som börjar lyssna på visual kei hittar nyare band. Samt alla bryr sig inte ens om äldre band.
Personligen är Grieva ett av mina favoritband (mestadels p.g.a. att dom försöker återuppliva det gamla 90-tals/tidiga 2000-tals soundet, tillsammans med resten av banden på deras skivbolag), men samtidigt älskar jag luna sea, deshabillz, banden på matina/key party, tidiga dir en grey osv. Men ser inte riktigt hur det är relevant egentligen. För mig personligen så blir jag glad så länge Svenskar intresserar sig mer i visual kei (och då menar jag inte Yohio&co), för det gör oss till ett land som potentiellt skulle kunna ta emot japanska band för spelningar här igen. Att skrämma iväg folk med elitism är inte rätt väg att gå.
 
Föresten, på tal om spelningar i Sverige. Tycker inte ni det är konstigt att typ sjukt små band tar sig hit? Via företaget som tar hit HITT osv? Nyanko Scandal Factory heter dom tror jag. Är det ett bolag som typ känner banden som spelar här eller något? Aldrig fattat grejen. Måste vara mer lönsamt att faktiskt punga ut liiite mer pengar men få hit ett band som även skulle locka internationella gäster (Mejibray te.x.) och generera pengar till företaget.
 
EDIT: Men kul att fler Svenskar hittat hit! Vet inte om ni varit medlem här längre än mig, men om inte: välkomna! :>

Ska svara mer utförligt sen men ville poängtera för att undvika missförstånd (som redan uppstått) att det var på en personlig nivå, alltså en sorg över att inte kunna relatera till människorna även om vi gillar samma genre i grunden. Såklart får de lyssna på vilka band de vill.

If you're going to re-re-re-release old songs at least record them over this time.

Missed opportunity to invite some Japanese band along. If they are trying to profile themselves towards fans of Japanese music it would've been a great chance to draw people with the jap band and hope that people would stick around to see theirs too. Now its just going to be another event for Yohios 12 year old fangirls (which I'm sure he doesn't mind)

Inb4 rui from grieva joins kuroyuritokage

Nah, AREA is a common venue in Shinjuku where a lot of bands perform. It's just that I thought ASAGI had more fans than area's capacity.

that live picture is a mess tbh. also sad to see all these well known musicians in the scene play in area lol. its almost as sad as kisakis downfall after phantasmagoria

Patrik is saying one thing and doing the exact opposite later (i.e. denouncing "pesky neo-vk ideals" and basically adopting them full-on years after) - why am I not surprised atm?
 
 
 
 
 
edit: just show up already, Patrik.

sup yohio nice post count

lmao still trying huh

Yohio just registered as "xxx" and still trying to promote his weaboocore? What a tryhard.

it is announced at THE EGOIST 2-part one-man live "Illuminati" at Shinjuku RUIDO K4 at 2016/03/26 that their new maxi single "RED ACHE" will be released at 2016/06/15 (2 TYPE)
 
TYPE A (2,160yen) will include CD+DVD (including "RED ACHE" PV), and TYPE B (1,260yen) will include CD only
 
 
 

I got septum pierced recently, and here's a picture of me with my mom's dog (who kinda didn't want to be in the picture :x )

^ omy jelly. been wanting to visit the us for quite some time.
 

 
I want to buy new glasses ;-; I want to pierce septum piercing as well. Do you think it would fit me?

Shocking reveal:
The song YOSHIKI can die for is Kurenai (English version) re-recording.

I know this was translated by someone long ago, but I can't find that anymore so I gave it a shot and did it myself. If anyone has any corrections/improvements just leave a reply^^

I look like a lady. But don't ever throw me in a moshpit cuz once in there i'm not a distinguish princess anymore.
 

Yeah, X JAPAN/Yoshiki topics here are always good fun for everyone.
 
Actually I think Yoshiki ruining our banter by actually releasing the album would not be worth it.
