happi basudei panda ^^

Wow, I guess it's just too tough being angura band this day and age... They actually intend to continue after this O_o? Cool if it would be so ...

Idk in my experience nobody's going to be satisfied unless it's a Japanese band :/

Personally I kind of like the KLINK CLOCK band..

This, that polish band also seems just silly, lolol. Matter of taste I guess ... Wonder if some Finnish vkei band will play here before Black line D: (like befor Plunklock)...

A bit late in the party I guess but: Happy birthday Champ .

dat logo, I'm already impressed, hope they sound good ...

Suiya is adorable in that pv, wow, song seems fun too ^^.

UNiTE's destroying Canzel.

Yeah, I'm only one voting for Canzel I c

Sad ;___; but I guess it was almost bound to happen after vocal going missing too...

Happy birthday sened!

This isn't the old Matina band is it?

I was wondering the same thing.

It's not, http://www3.ocn.ne.jp/~mebius/home.html

Yeah, doing nothing rly either as sad as it is, been listening some good music though but I guess that won't count, it's not even on halloween theme ...

Sounds very cool, *goes preorder single*.

Love this band , about time they release something new.

I prefer non-Japanese (i.e. romaji) characters in thread titles/descriptions/etc too, since that way I immediately know what I'm looking at. I can read hiragana and katakana (and some kanji), but I don't think most downloaders can, so... (well, I'm just assuming). It's easier on the eyes too, imo.

it's kinda problematic though that just now tried to add romaji names to on topic name just to notice that there wasn't enough room for them... Since apparently it would have been too long name for topic then OTL. And I'd prefer to keep kana's/kanji there too anyway :z...

Yeah, sorry for not doing this, will do from now on when can find track list in romaji -___-...

OMG again -___-... I hate things like this, don't even know the band but hope they won't sell .

Don't rly read all that much manga but currently reading Dengeki Daisy since Stylelover praised it in mini-chat XD, must say I'm pretty impressed so far .

Wish this means that L'eprica hiatus would be finally ending xD...

I think it's a bit silly question TBH... Even if Japan is highly interesting to me, so much that I could consider moving there, Japanese culture fills really huge portion of my life anyway. However I don't consider being Japanese some kind of special blessing, rather it actually seems really tough, my own country seems also a way safer. So as for being born as one what this was about, I don't think there is much point, I likely wouldn't be interested in it like this then anyway and that's only reason why I would want to move there .

I think personally it is obvious it's not, since you just can't say it is true for everyone. However listening certain kind of music is sometimes just phase and this might be more often true with stuff like vkei, where looks and play big part and songs often are not being considered as highest pieces of art, not to mention that target audience being mostly young girls. Also just thinking what I have read, really many Japanese fans quit listening it when getting older, so not like someone saying vkei is phase is completely off I guess.

Even if a file is revealed to be a transcode here, I wouldn't count on the people who reupload the files to share this information with their downloaders.

There's transcodes as old as time itself because of this, and they keep getting spread around even if they would be exposed as such on this forum. So if I could vote, I'd definitely say a 100% ban on transcodes, especially concerning new releases where we have a better chance of stopping transcodes from even starting going around, or, if not for the whole forum then at least for the lossless section, since downloading a large album and then finding that its a upsampling of a 192kbps file is just ridiculous.

But really, since people insist on using lossy formats for music, at least we should be able to guarantee the quality of those lossy rips so people get what they think they're getting.

I'm agreeing on this. Once things hit the internet, they spread like wildfire. If I'm trying to find an older release in good quality, I'm not going to want to download like 10 different copies just because someone decided it'd be a good idea to share a shitty sounding transcode.

I'm 'Thirding' this sentiment. TW/MH has long been a staple of the online j-rock community and as such, we have a responsibility to do what's best for the community and try to uphold the integrity of it. The decisions we make on this forum have a much more profound effect than you would initially think. The policies we enact here effect more than just MH, the but the entire online J-rock community at large as well.

This, however I can understand people who would want trascodes to exist too, since they want to listen stuff regardless (some releases might never even see daylight otherwise but as transcode, and at least most obscure of them often wouldn't even if MH were to change transcode policy.) Still I think this is only way to go, eventually people might learn and at least we would get more legit rips. For music quality junkie current situation must be like horror show or something xD...

First snow is now on the ground here too .
