You don't speak for all of us. This isn't only a vk forum. It's a Japanese music forum and there are users here who don't listen to or like vk.
That's not to say that anyone is telling you not to discuss vk, but people who listen to more than just vk are welcome here just as much as anyone else.
Japanese make up does no caking, like learn your basics before saying something ridiculously fatuous
also I suppose your sentiment will be more accepted over at either jpopsuki or gackt.forumcommunity.net, this is a VK forum
what are we even supposed to discuss here, washed out jpop idols?
I hate the self titled album and his recent singles. I hope this time won't be another english album with hired lyrics writers and horrid music, like nekkichi said. Until he can not remove the obsession with being an international artist, imitating them, it will not be the one he used to be.

As much as I find his new music mediocre, I have mad respect for him in everything that he does. He's come a long way from Oresama! He's so adorable in this interview.
seen it 5 times already, i'm SO in love with this movie, jack o'connell was a perfect loius and holy crap there wasn't even a hint of his strong english accent and miyavi was ok

please love yourself and don't ever think about watching this movie, please.
1/10
The Necrotic Manifesto by Aborted
Following their impeccable album Global Flatline, Aborted's new sensory attack
The Necrotic Manifesto provides more of the same razor-sharp death metal brutality
laced with grindcore elements. Blastbeats, breakdowns and killer solos are executed
precisely like clockwork, making this a formidable entry in modern extreme metal.
Sample: The Extirpation Agenda / Coffin Upon Coffin
Hellish by Apey & the Pea
Although their name is kind of ridiculous, Apey & the Pea are no laughing matter.
In their latest full-length Hellish, this stoner/doom power trio drops gargantuan riffs
and sweet grooves one after the other like it's nobody's business. If you crave some
metallic heaviness tinged with grungy vocals, this should soothe your appetite.
Sample: Abraham / Reverend Green
Broke with Expensive Taste by Azealia Banks
The self-proclaimed queen of "witch hop" (whatever that might be) finally serves up
her first album, and it comes with a bang! Broke with Expensive Taste is a colorful
playground of cool samples, versatile beats, dance-pop bangers, plus a machine-gun
rap or two. Perfect music to (get drunk and) shake your ass to.
Sample: Chasing Time / Heavy Metal and Reflective
The Flesh Prevails by Fallujah
The evolution of Fallujah is quite impressive, considering they started out as an
unremarkable deathcore quintet that have now become a progressive tech-death
force to be reckoned with. Continuing where they left off on their previous EP, The
Flesh Prevails is a gorgeous powerhouse of crushing brutality and ethereal grace,
so perfectly illustrated by the cover art. Fallujah has prevailed!
Sample: Starlit Path / Sapphire
Commune by Goat
The band name might conjure up images of occult retro-metal clichés but Goat is
an entirely different beast. Their music sounds somewhat nostalgic and timeless
at the same time, blurring together krautrock minimalism, pulsating afrobeat and
freaky but gentle psychedelic rock tendencies into an exotic mixture. This is one
commune I'd gladly join any time!
Sample: Hide from the Sun / Words
At the Idyll's End by Gustave Tiger
Gustave Tiger immediately won my heart with this charmingly kooky and hectic
art-punk attack somewhere on the crossroads of White Lung and the Pixies. In
a handful of short bursts they go from calm to manic while weaving a grungy wall
of noise into the mix and not forgetting about catchy hooks either. One of the
more intriguing sounding bands I had the pleasure of listening to this past year.
Sample: Gourgandine Simaitha / Lady Into Fox
Spectre by Laibach
Martial industrial/EBM masters Laibach cooked up one of their most accessible
albums to date, and they did it quite effectively. With some of the tracks bordering
on tame synth pop but still retaining their signature darkness (plus cynicism and
deadpan humor), Spectre seems like a good introduction for newcomers and a
nice change for hardened old-time listeners too.
Sample: The Whistleblowers / Eurovision
Elddop by Martyrdöd
The title of Martyrdöd's latest translates as "baptism of fire" and it sure is a fiery
blaze in our ear canals. Blackened crustcore is the name of the game, and the
guys are in top shape to deliver some well-deserved kicks in the balls. Sweeping,
aggressive but also melodious. A rock-solid entry in the band's crusty catalogue.
Sample: En jobbig jävel / Elddop
Gay Dog Food by Mykki Blanco
Always one to shock people, Mykki Blanco's new mixtape is a colorful mish-mash of
styles and influences ranging from trippy hip-hop to noisy industrial sounds and lo-fi
electro-minimalism. Despite the initial quirkiness and weirdness of the tracks (not to
mention the hilarious interludes), it's a fun and addictive musical journey if you have
a thing for unconventional and out-of-the-box rappers.
Sample: Fulani / Moshin in the Front
Hanyatlás by PETOFI
Relative newcomers PETOFI knocked me off my feet with their debut EP. With a
venomous cocktail of anguished screamo and breakneck melodic hardcore, these
guys know how to make one hell of an entrance! Their hectic style is elevated by
poetic lyrics that add extra pathos and fury to PETOFI's brand of hardcore.
Sample: Holttestemen át / Süket füledre talál a vallomásom
I Cannot See For Miles & Piresian Beach/Matthias von Stumberger
by Piresian Beach
The Hungarian queen of lo-fi pop has been quite active as always, delivering a
new stand-alone EP and another bundle of songs in collaboration with fellow
Slovenian noise-maker Matthias von Stumberger. Both releases are jam-packed
with good ol' overdriven guitar noise and '60s inspired garage/psych-rock licks,
complemented by excellent crooning female vocals.
Sample: Blood in the Gutter / Digging for Gold
St. Vincent by St. Vincent
I have completely fallen in love with the self-titled album of art-rock princess Annie
Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent. It's a record with a peculiar vibe. It sounds as artificial as it
is organic, and this strange duality is further strengthened by the overall variety of
the songs. From danceable tunes to melancholic meditations, this release has it all!
Sample: Birth in Reverse / Digital Witness
To Be Kind by Swans
Swans' latest output is a gigantic double album clocking just over two hours. Noisy,
experimental and completely heavy in atmosphere, this strange post-rock monolith
perfectly encompasses what current Swans is all about. It's a menacing aural trip
with repetitive, tribal (and outright primal) stylings that shouldn't be missed.
Sample: Oxygen / To Be Kind (live)
Melana Chasmata by Triptykon
Melana Chasmata, "deep black chasms" is one towering behemoth of a record!
Tom Warrior (of Celtic Frost fame) and his partners in crime sculpted a beautiful
ebony-black slab of avant-garde metal with doomy and extreme overtones. The
result is so breathtaking that this just might be my absolute favorite metal album
of the year. Tortured and beautiful, highly recommended!
Sample: Tree of Suffocating Souls / Aurorae
