^ good luck on selling those laruku, nightmare, lm.c, an cafe and kiryu's cds and paying your mortgage ;

I haven't tried it, but in general, I feel like that's a series that should be left in the past. I think I was over dragonball z before the buu saga even received a proper English dub, but even by then, the series seemed like it had already run out of steam. What else could they possibly do with it that's not just blatantly milking the series? XD

Can L'Arc do that soon please?

@orange~ completely agree
its pathetic to look at a new live recording followed by something like this
 
 
 
it's understandable why and how they became so famous, it's just sad what they've turned into

Toshi went to church camp for a while and was never the same
 
(or whatever that cult/brainwashing stint was about)
 
EDIT: holy shit remember toshi's band w/ the like 13yo kid in it lmao

I've been watching some old X-Japan videos few days now and these guys were really cool back then. It reminded me of why I was such a big fan of them! Toshi was a beast on the vocals, Pata and Taiji were super smooth glam rockers, even Yoshiki was fairly cool there and hide brought his crazy energy to the band. These guys were throwing TV's out of hotel rooms, kicking people during lives and there are slut stories about hide and co floating around the web.
 
Then fastforward, I check some recent live material........... Yoshiki introduces every song, Yoshiki does some overdramatic shit, Yoshiki and (now ballss-less) Toshi have some random heart warming conversation on the stage. What happened? When did this band become Yoshiki & co.? He was never this prominent back in the day! And what happened to Toshi?

SUGIZO please get out of this

I'd say ほな・いこか (Hona Ikoka), the drummer from ゲスの極み乙女。 (Gesu no Kiwami Otome)
 
Other than her, not many Jrockers come to mind besides the obvious mancrush on Kobayashi from THE NOVEMBERS

Not really weird at all considering this isn't their first collab with Capcom. The tech is really awesome as well and I can't wait to see how well it actually works. 
 
And fuck, it's a new song and it sounds pretty damn good.

that face mapping tech is cool as fuck!

Awesome! I'm so happy seeing them come back together with the classic lineup.

This is so weird...

Update 2 weeks later: Kiyoharu Found Dead in Roppongi

Nice find! This sounds like Kiyoharu put the trademark to Kuroyume's backlog up for bidding. As in the rights to owning the band's music are up for sale. This is what I gathered:
 
Public auction opened September 9th, bidding time starts September 13th at 1pm, ends October 9th.  estimated value of  "Kuroyume" is 200,000 yen, bidding starts at 50,000 yen. Rights were originally owned by Kiyoharu, who could not be reached for comment. He is selling the rights because of owed taxes and foreclosure (of properties?) The four different "Kuroyume" being sold would be inclusive of all the different ways the band has stylized their names on releases and promotions, which means Kiyoharu is truly selling everything. Rights to "Kuroyume" were seized by the government.  
All I can say is HOLY SHIT.

Below is @chemicalpictures explanation on the 3 types of auctions in Japan, to shed more light on how serious this is.
 
 

today is a day of high-definition weeb

Versailles is coming back... to Europe!

Apologies to our Firefox-using-buddies at the stream yesterday! We pushed out a fix for the chat issue, so the bug should be gone
 
We just added a new feature to help you keep track of the items you've won(and your budget :P) at our livestreaming auctions! You can check it out from the following link
http://rarezhut.net/my-auction-items
Or from clicking the link in the site's side menu or under the bid box on the stream page.
We'll continuously be working on new features like this one, so if you've got any suggestions or issues then just let us know <3

Actually, it is much less.  Since a lot of people in the livestreams are from Europe, we are able to use our shipping center in Germany.  All packages to the EU save an average of 40-45%.  Customers in Germany save 45-55%
 
Does that help?

The item list for this month's auction is live!

Go check out all of those dank goodies we've got lined up for ya! There's over 400 CDs that will be starting at $1 and over 100 of those are albums! Hot diggity! 

Gackt
