I don't like cosplay and I think it's especially silly to cosplay a real person as opposed to a character. I'd much rather see someone do their own style than directly copy someone elses, but people should do whatever they want. I don't attend cons either, maybe that has to do with it.

@Zess Just curious, why do you think MESSIAH.bat is all leftovers?

Haha that is a bit ridiculous. Guess since it's so close to the show date I guess they couldn't manage a proper online sale... Was hoping there wouldn't be VIP this time but too bad... Laughing at the fact that there's 100 tickets though lol.

lol wtf happened with that link, i don't remember ever seeing that video. But just listened to a few of the preview, and I think I'm just going to pretend this album never happened. I agree with Nekkichi

I'm not liking this at all.. Hope it's not a representation of what the rest of the album sounds like because I'd be really disappointed...

Apparently Yuuki is doing an instore too? Guess he's short on money. Still glad it'll finally be released overseas though!

Oh yes this makes me very happy

Yeah I know, hence why I wrote a certain number of people. I feel really bad for the fans who do behave and have to miss out now. I don't understand how these girls don't realize that sending someone hatemail isn't gonna get you anywhere. @stylelover It started with the VIP ticket sale, Steff always accepts payments trough banktransfers only (it's the most common way to pay for tickets in Germany, larger ticket sites use it too). Some of the people didn't understand how to transfer the money and thought they'd have to pay a large fee to make the transfer. Instead of doing the sane thing and calling their banks or sending a polite email to Steff, 1/3 (!!) of the people who bought the vip tickets started sending hate mail. About how he was a greedy German fascist and how they hated Germans, etc. Steff posted a link explaining about SEPA (European banktransfers) in Polish on his page, this was promptly ignored and the hate continued. Steff announced that the VIP ticket sale would be cancelled because of the issues. A shitstorm ensues of Polish fans insulting each other and Steff. Some non-Polish fans tried to explain how to do the transfer but everyone ignored them. Steff announces that he has to think about the Polish concert and that he is considering cancelling it. A few fans apologize for like 2 seconds (I'm sorry but you have to understand that I was really upset), Steff doesn't reply instantly so everyone is back to sending hate. Even some of the fans who were good up until then join in saying that Steff is an asshole and that it's unfair to cancel the concert because they did nothing wrong. Steff publishes one of the comments the rude girls have been sending him to illustrate how bad is, people lose their shit, something about privacy and suing? The concert gets cancelled. (Which I completely understand, if this is how they respond to not understanding how to transfer money, how will they react to, say, getting a handshake session instead of a signing after all this commotion?) The sad thing is that these girls probably won't even learn from this and will blame Steff for the entire situation. I honestly feel really bad for the other Polish fans for having to deal with these people a regular basis, just reading this shit on my timeline made me want to slam my head into a wall. Also when I say they or these girls I do not mean "Polish fans", I mean these specific 10 or 20 people who don't know how to behave, regardless of nationality, just so we're clear .

I thought postnl mentions that you only get taxed if you go above 50 euro (item + shipping)? I can only really afford my favorite artists' new releases, and lately I've been mostly getting friends who make trips to Japan to bring them for me.

The concert in Poland has been cancelled because a certain number of people aren't able to treat other human beings with respect and decency, and will most likely be moved to Paris. http://www.astan-magazin.de/AstanM-2/astan_festival.htm I don't think Poland can expect any more Astan concerts after this... Good job girls.

Do you have booklet scans?

So I finished translating the mini if anyone is interested: http://macchalatte.blogspot.nl/search/label/MESSIAH.bat

They're up on hiphopvomit! (Japanese and Romaji) http://hiphopvomit.blogspot.nl/2012/07/index-mejibray.html I'm translating them asap

I realy agree with the second part of your post. I personally don't find lyrics to be the most important part of a song, but if a song has good lyrics I will love it even more and if the lyrics are terrible, like with most visual kei bands I might even start to hate it. I started out translating lyrics as practice and it definitely has ruined some vk bands for me.

I'm not the one complaining and I do download, I didn't mean my comment in a sarcastic way.

Requesting Japanese lyrics or booklet scans of the whole mini!

Or we can just download everything instead and they can get used to that.

Lol wow you sure sound like you know how to have fun from those responses why so bitter And they must've finally gotten sick of Yuuka, lasted longer than I expected.

^ I don't blame them for doing that, gotta be able to pay for the band somehow. Ugh this, I never watch those videos

~ Jaa! Ik denk dat we dankzij de vakjury wel de finale moeten halen (als Anouk het live ook een beetje goed doet maar daar twijfel ik niet aan), vrees alleen dat de gemiddelde songfestival kijker het nummer te saai gaat vinden om ook een beetje een goede positie te bemachtigen uiteindelijk..

Oshare kei

This basically. I much prefer owning physical copies, and I try to buy them whenever I can but importing cd's from Japan is just ridiculously expenive. So I like having the option of buying the digital version.

It wasn't really a flop for the band, but R:ID who organised it eventually went bankrupt because of all the added up costs from the Gazette tour and jrock invasion, so it was a flop to them I guess. Hope everyone who wanted to got their ticket!

Ehh i'm not feeling this unfortunately.. Maybe it'll grow on me.

I'd love to hear a part 2 to that as well, but right now I just want him to finally release that solo album he's been working on forever... So many tracks that he played during lives that just need to be recorded already.
