Just heard them for the first time today, was enjoying them too... welp.

I'm gonna be unpopular opinion and say I'm fucking here for that Daikirai cover, but I'm a big fan of TOC so I was expecting something weird. All the ones I was initially excited about, pretty much lived up to expectations so far. I'm sorry I doubted Merry in this, theirs and Junko Yano's covers also gave me life. Really looking forward to this.

Songs sound lit, I hate the crazy amounts of reverb/echo on some of the vocals though (excluding the chanting).

I love this look!!

That sucks. I hope they have a speedy recovery.

I'll be jamming to this on spotify!

Booooo. L better come back with another project.

I respect what you're saying, but it's not ruined because I wasn't into them yet in the first place. I only had a piqued interest and they've let someone ruin their image. If they kick him to the curb I'll come back. I really don't like dealing with bands who have this kind of drama surrounding them. It's not fun for me.

I was just talking about how I wanted to check out more from this band last night, but after reading all of that lol nevermind.... That's so immature and terrible. If he really felt that way about it he should have simply asked to take it down and not commented further if she followed instructions. He sure thinks a lot of himself. Yikes.

Not the biggest fan of the lead track... but I'm not crazy about their ballads in general. They're okay but feel a bit one note compared to their other songs. It's probably intentional but *shrug*. 3rd track sounds interesting, I'll be looking forward to hearing the rest of the songs.

This is cool if Die keeps a rotating line up. At least it gives me a reason to keep checking them out.

@Tokagewe appreciate all guest submissions, maybe you want to try it yourself sometime?

why is he so attractive it hurts me in my soul

Ooooh, interesting. My scrobbler still works for now but I'm thinking of buying an new computer over the holidays so I might try the new scrobbler out then.

Here's some old Miya caps I had for a mood theme a while back. The king of silently judging you.

Non-Japanese musics

Mid-thirties here and still don't want kids, or even a serious relationship, tbh. Everyone in my family looks at me like I'm an alien because I don't give a shit about marriage or children. I also get tired of people insinuating I'm selfish for not wanting children, like living my life for myself is a bad thing. The world is scary, not to mention over populated as it is. I don't feel compelled to add to it.

This post makes me wish I had the patience to scan my magazine collection, I have a shelf of old vk/j-rock magazines I bought from 2001-10 when I was obsessed (and it was a lot easier to get because some local shops were importing them). So a lot of Cure, Arena 37c, Shoxx, zi:, and Fool's mate. But to do that I'd have to destroy them to get them flat in the printer. I know people used to do that, but I don't think I could bring myself to do it unless I had a duplicate copy. I used to meticulously track down every image I could of bands I liked when I first got into VK, especially when I made a lot of fan-oriented graphics back in the livejournal days. After a while I lost interest though and pretty much only kept my folder of Mucc scans. I have a handful of photosets and cheki's. I don't actively collect them but if they're a easily accessible I buy some (like when I see a band at a convention) to help support the band if there aren't CDs around. I could probably get those in at some point but they aren't nearly as old. This also makes me miss old fansites/blogs where the group members used to work collectively to scan in images, translate interviews, and share uploads of the bts content centered around specific/single groups. I don't see VK groups like this around much anymore. Not on the English side of things anyway. It's sad.

Yeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssss I was a little worried after the last album they might be moving in a different direction but this is 🔥🔥🔥.

I'm liking the switch so far. Good luck to them!

Still waiting on that second GeKiGaKutai album.

I was laughing thinking about this when I read the announcement too. But, especially in Mucc's case, they've never really gone quiet before, even when they went a while between releases, they still had blogs, social media, radio appearances, DJ gigs, tours, announcements for upcoming things... complete radio silence would probably make some fans worry. Or at least they're worried the fans would worry? lol.
