DAMN GOOD breakdown at 02:27, but you can't put your faith on Akane, sooner or later he will do another re-re-re-re-re-re-remaster of paranoir songs for some ez money and have another mental break and call its quits

I'm actually a little pissed that we've been waiting for a decent live DVD for almost 10 years (as stated above) and then they only sell it via their online shop and in two types. That's just ridiculous.
So if a foreigner wants it, he has to pay extra costs for a shopping service. If we want to see their whole perfomance, we need to buy two DVDs because it's cut in the middle.
Sadie are signed to the same label and you get their DVDs thrown at your feet. How many do they have by now? 8? 9? 150?
And all Awoi ever offered was crows after growing which is low quality live clips with the CD's music playing to it and the live that was on the B-Type of the Owari no Melody mini. Quality was equally horrible. 
No Awoi, just no.

So much for quitting VK and the music scene, I knew he was just trying to be edgy.
I wonder if Sho's tired of all of that or if Akane didn't even consider him for this session.

VK fans in general don't seem to understand how... anything works. 

Am I the only one, who's not surprised? They've been releasing way too much, their music just sounds the same all the time, it feels like they're out of new ideas. A break will be good for them, because they've been too busy with shit. I highly doubt they would announce a hiatus if they were going to disband, stop being such drama queens.

So I just saw them live and frankly I have no idea who they are. 😂
We asked a girl who was in front and she said they're a session band from Osaka that now turned official, she couldn't name any previous projects of the members. So I guess no familiar old faces here unless you're into super indie guys. 😂

Honestly, as sad as this is, this is Akane we're talking about. He's known to be impulsive and moody and tweets whatever is on his mind. One day he will rage about the VK scene, the next day he might want to go on stage again. Also what @nekkichisaid – he's probably sulking and has too much time on his hands to be upset over small things.
Maybe they'll do something out of VK then, not as D.I.D, not this year or not the next. Or maybe that's it.
Just saying that Akane himself isn't really a reliable source for definite decisions...
 
(And when Tohma left D.I.D. they also were super dramatic about 'real life duties' and 'forced to quit' and now he's in a new band. Even though the project is rather lowkey, you can see how quick factors can change if there's a will. D.I.D. was a trainwreck at the end though, I wouldn't sacrifice my chances in other jobs/private life either for these ruins of a once brilliant band, so there clearly was no will. So can't really blame Tohma. But Akane might change his mind as well.)

Yepp, I think that was the name the girl mentioned! They had some member changes though, according to her.

Definitely not Juka, not even close. A very young band, barely any stage experience (they kept walking into each other). The vocalist is very petite, but has a nice voice.

I have always been very picky about my bands and now that all of my favorites disbanded over the last two years, Visual Kei just feels dead to me.
If I don't like the vocalist's voice, I can't get into the music. And while there are still some bands I find aesthetically interesting, like the art kei folks, their music isn't my thing at all. All of my friends go crazy about SAVAGE, DADAROMA, MEJIBRAY, MORRIGAN and to me, they all sound awful and I'm getting tired of seeing these same overhyped faces retweeted onto my timelines, so much that I developed a strong dislike, especially against Aryu and his pretentious instagram-Tzk-fanboy life.
I actually don't want to lose touch to the scene, I've been a part of this for over 10 years, but I'll be in Japan in a few weeks and not a single concert show but one sounds appealing to me.
I'm going to see Gazette's anniversary live for the sake of old times. I had tickets for lynch., then Akinori happened, so that leaves me with one show to attend. In 2012, I was at 16 different concerts. These bands all disbanded or changed for the worse. 
It's a sad feeling to watch myself grow out of something I love like that. But when I see others fangirling as hard as ever, I think it must be me.

Why do people who can't sing insist on being vocalists?!

Apart from a couple of nice songs I don't see, and have never seen, what's so great about Gazette. Same for Mejibray. 420 was a decent album, THE END was up my alley but I can't get into anything else. I don't understand the Dadaroma hype. And finally,  Nocturnal Bloodlust probably wouldn't have half the amount of fans they do now if the members actually wore clothes. The thirst in that fandom is real.

I'm not so sure about the release guys. I read the announcement as 'We were originally planning to release an album', but can't because of Akane's health and the member changes. With the hiatus this will be postponed. I also read this as 'We were originally planning to continue with Shinya as a member, but as of now, can't continue at all' -> therefore, hiatus.
I don't expect D.I.D. to be back very soon, then they wouldn't call it an indefinite hiatus. And no band releases an album during their hiatus, without any promotion or tour going along.
My Japanese is rusty, but I really wouldn't get my hopes up at all.

I've made peace with them disbanding. They're probably the most flaky, uncommitted band I can think of, and I guess they finally realised that they cannot get their shit together. I'm not getting my hopes up for a "new album" or digital single or whatever, I'm just glad they followed through with WOD II and Fatal Error Race. Weren't we waiting two years for that? I would at least like a formal release of the SKP re-recording, but again, not getting my hopes up.
