Wow nice to see HIZUMI come back on stage, glad he collaborates again with Toshiyuki Kishi he was the producer of Love is Dead and MONSTERS album, Masato is a good guitarist so I'm not very worry about the line up. I have a huge feeling the basis of their music will be electro-rock so few peoples will be disapointed about that.

Mao from SiD since he had vocal polyps he is unable to sing like before he has trouble reaching high notes and his vibrato is awful now. Yomi of Nightmare really fuck up his vocal range since 2013, Yomi's voice has begun to deteriorate in quality, becoming much more nasal and fragile and his placement lowering considerably, and in 2015 he suffered of serious vocal damage. I watched again the Nightmare last live I had pity for him, he was near to be aphone, offkey the most part of the live especialy for reaching high nots, that's was so painful to hear that

The first singer Ricky left the band because his schedule became too busy to juggling both the band and his solo activities and that singing for both projects had a negative effect on his throat. For the second singer Nimo is stated that he came to this conclusion ot left the band because he wishes to search for another side of himself by walking a different path.

Reika of D=OUT and Yuura of Kra with Tsunehito (scissor, D) and Naoki (jinkaku radio, the beethoven) these are the best bass players, theirs bass lines are very complex and difficult, unlike many bassists they don't only follow the rhythm guitar or the drums, their sense of groove is amazing and even if you use headphone or earphone of medium quality the bass is still audible. They are not vk bassists : - KenKen (Rize, Dragon Ash) - Hinata Hidekazu (Straightener, Nothing's Carved In Stone) - F Chopper Koga (Gacharic Spin) - Ue-chan (Maximum the Hormone) - Ikuo ( BULL ZEICHEN 88, Rayflower)

Vk bands : - A -Anonymous Confederate Ensemble- - Imitation PoPs uchuu sentai NOIZ - By-Sexual - bands who use generic girls names (Charlotte, Isabelle, Karen) - Sugar -Valkyr -Aushvitz J-Rock bands : - KeyTalk - Keep Your Hands Off My Girl - Nothing's Carved in Stone - Polkadot Stingray - MUSCLE ATTACK - Sons of All Pussys

Nope you are not the only one who like this, like you said the 90's vibes is really refreshing that change of all this new band who do djent-kei or brootal kei, impatient to hear the full versions of the songs coz is hard to have a final judgement with only few secs of the music. I really don't understand "the hate" against this band, I was expecting something much worse after read all the comments

For the 40th anniversary of of the franchise Gundam, them and others artists will collaborate on a project including old and new Gundam songs, and don't think they will realase new material for the next years coz they are busy with their solo careers. But maybe we will have a surprise for theirs 30th anniversary at the end of their two concerts on December 22 and 23

Unfortunately you can only find the prologue and the chapter 1 one http://utsubyourocker.tumblr.com/ I think the person who wanted translate the whole book totally give up and I remember few years ago someone translate some chapters on livejournal but I don't find the link. It''s too bad it seemed interesting to know how depression is treated in Japan.

It's funny to see the new musical direction of ex Mejibray members, why have a foreigner singer if this dude sing and have the same mimic like 99% of jrock and vk singers

For the jrock: - Yoohei Kawakami (vocals, guitar) and Hiroyuki Isobe (bass, vocals) of Alexandros are fluent in english durink 12 weeks they had a radio show was aired in a Australian radio station SBS PopAsia - Takeshi Hosomi (Ellegarden, The Hiatus, Monoeyes) are fluent too - Masato of Coldrain is bilingual - Taku Muramatsu (vocal, guitar of Nothing's Carved in Stone) and MAH of SiM seem to have a good level of English when they sing theirs accents and theirs pronunciation are pretty good About vk: - Miyavi seems to have a fluent English - Angel Taka of Noiz have a good level in English and also in tagalog - J and Inoran of Luna Sea have some notions but I think they don't have the same level as Sugizo

Kei is know for be a moody person few examples of his facts : - in 2003 after the unique concert of Baroque in Nippon Budokan the offical website of Baroque was closed and 4 concerts was cancelled the reason of that was Kei stopped smoking and drinking, he became so irascible that he fought with Nippon Budokan staff at the end of the concert. When theirs record company knew about that they became furious about them and wanted fired them but theirs producer Dynamite Tommy saved them, theirs record company Sony Music wanted suspended the group for a year but they was suspended just for few months. - in 2007 when Kannivalism release the single Hoshi no Yoru Kei did not deign to show up, or even answer the phone, at the start of the promotion, so their record company decided to force him to sleep on the 3rd floor of the Avex offices in Tokyo in a closet surrounded by cardboard boxes.

Maybe they don't have anothers choices to use leftovers or "the same sounds" coz of theirs crazy schedule, when you are a popular artist or a popular band you realase one album per years, you realase 3/4 maxi singles with few months apart if the maxi single have multi types with differents tracklists they will need to have 4/5 in stocks, even if they only do concert in Japan they can have a very long tour. So how can you take yours times for have new ideas, try differents sounds if you always in the road or in rush, so I think sometimes is most easier for them to use the same formulas with lil modifications or use leftovers of previous albums.

Surprise to see AYA and Seek form a new band I was thought after this disband of Mix Speaker's,Inc. they will only focus about PLC. Sadly NIKA quit the scene after the disband of MSI but MIKI did revival live with his old band SCISSOR maybe we will have some news about him soon

I hope not this guy is so talented and one the most best bass player in vk, I will have pity for him if he finish like Sana, Satsuki or HITT

- the bands who do who do emotional blackmail towards their fans like "if xxx peoples don't come in our live show we will disband" - good vocalists or/and talented musicians who disapear like a ghost when theirs band disbands or if they comeback they play in mediocre bands. - a band disband few months or year later the same members will create a new band with new stage names but they will play exactly the same music - the band who will change theirs sounds only for try to be more popular like pop-rock band who will do broootal-kei sound or brootal-kei band who will do generic and soft sounds

- the track 5 "Silent Noise" -the track 9 "念力 (Nenriki)" - the track 4 "雨中遊泳 (Uchuu Yuuei)"

I don't think even if Umebo had apologized the situation would be the same for him, in Asia it is expected that "talent" (singers/actors/show hosts/etc.) should be role models for society at large. Even if HNIB is not the most popular rock band in Japan they are sign under a major label so it's take time for can pay "his debt to society", even if that can be unfair the way who the music industry blacklisted him it's something totally normaly in Japan. When a artist is arrested for a drug scandal the artist's management agency, record label(s), and any and all companies contracting that person to do work or appearances will immediately drop them from their rosters, stores will remove their music, merchandise, and other media bearing their name from their shelves. It's take time for a artist and the band can "wash theirs names" after a scandal like this for example Buck-Tick and did a forced break of 9 months (April to December 89) after Imai was arrested on charge of drugs possession. @cvlticwill can correct me if I'm wrong but since the day one Hakuzi don't give up on Akinori and tried to found some solutions like be back in indies

I'm so speechless about his death I'm not really huge fan of SHINee or of him but he writed and composed somes songs for anothers idols or solo singers who I like, when I readed some facts about him or his interview I have sadness and pity for him. I hope 'll be wrong about that but I think anothers idols will follow his path coz many idols or idols actors/actress suffers in silence from mental illness or depression and theirs agencys really don't care about theirs struggles

I had some concerns about this song but after I listened the preview that sound good even if Inoran can compose better songs, like Shinya said in a interview it's the most luminous song of Luna Sea

This TV show sounds interesting I hope will have subs for understand more some parts, I'm not really surprised at Kiryuin Sho knowledge of this subject. When they talked about the 10's I'm ok with them about the trio Nightmare/SiD/The GazettE , I can understand why they add An Cafe on theirs list but the the presence of SuG leaves me perplexed even if they did op/ed anime they never had the same boom and popularity like An Cafe had or Nightmare/SiD/The GazettE

Awwwwww a collaborative cd with my 3 fav bands that's will be so awesome. You really so lucky and I envy you now , enjoy the show for me

- guitar Meku ( ex Chemical Pictures, aim,GALEYD) - guitar Anzi (ex Matenrou Opera) - bass SHUSE (ex La'cryma Christi, bassit for the band †я i ￠к and bassist support for Acid Black Cherry) - drums Yuki (ex Jupiter, Versailles drummer) And he also have two another drummer support Kei Yamazaki and Shin Watanabe

That's sucks MSI was one of my fav bans but when Yuki left the band I listened them less and also lost interest on them, I was sure the will disband soon coz of PLC. I'm surprise about the messages of MIKI and S is not always that a bandmen really express his resentment and feelings about disband, the main reason of MSI disband make me think about PIERROT disband

Surprise to see MUCC cover 「CRAZY4YOU」I'll have seen more PLC cover this song

Damn that's really suck I love his drum style and techniques , I'm happy they decide to continue without him but at the same time I wonder if they will be able to find a session drummer or a new drummer who has the same level as him
