I wasn't really into Gleem, I preferred their Meteoroid sound a lot more. I'm still sad to see them split up though. 

Slash still got it.

Okay. I need help understanding when to use 行き vs に来ている

 

I've been told in the event of a concert that Iki is not the correct verb to use. It's not wrong but it's odd. Often times my friend from japan will use nikiteiru.... but maybe the context is different. Help?

Edit: This got clarified by much more adept speakers than me.

I love Sable Hills & Absolute is a great CD. Did it come with a sticker??

 

Vision of Fatima is pretty cool too--haven't picked up their CDs but I've always enjoyed seeing them live

Yep, Absolute came with the sticker through CDJapan. I just happened to go back on CDJapan for the first time in ages and saw they still had copies so I had to snag them. I also tried to get the Azami/VoF split but they couldn't get it. VoF looks insane live, the last video I saw the singer had jumped into the pit and come back to the stage bleeding from the head.  Those concerts have to be great. lol

I really need to get back into studying! Nice to see this group @togz!  

Name: Kelly

Age: 35

Years studied: Maybe 2-3 years seriously, but a lot of time on and off trying to teach myself. 

Estimated level: I've completed beginners level classes and books and I can read a bit but listening skills, pronunciation, and formulating grammar just... i need lots of help lol.

Knowledge of Hiragana/Katakana: All

Kanji:  I used to be closer to 500 but I think I've backslid to probably around 300 at this point. 

What is your main goal with studying Japanese?: I guess conversational, definitely grammar.

What materials have you used before?: My online classes had us working out of Japanese for Busy People workbooks, since then I do some duolingo and watch youtube channels like Japanesepod101 and tomoko tomoko.

I have actually read two of the three but I am still a little to....... scared(?) to say anything (๑･▱･๑) haha....takes me a bit to get to a good discussion point haha I'll get to it eventually  (๑･▱･๑)

I understand. It took me a while to feel comfortable jumping into discussions around here when I first joined too, but I'm sure you'll fit right in.

I had only just started listening to MUCC a little under a month ago I will admit :< so I still have a lot to learn and such, I need more Muckers to talk to and learn from haha

Welcome to the fandom! I've been following them about 10 years (I knew of them before that but wasn't really into them yet) so if I can help answer any questions I'm happy to, or even just talk about them in general, I'm always down. There's a few others running around the forum too, I'm sure you'll see them in MUCC related threads. @qotka @Zeusand @Seimeisenhave some interesting MUCC reviews up in the staff reviews section too which are good places to join some discussions.

Wish I could get my hands on this, all three together has to be great.

Welcome fellow Mucker! It's nice to see someone who enjoys their recent material as much as their old stuff, I see a lot of fans lean towards their early material. But I tend to prefer mid 00s to current era MUCC myself. Myakuhaku is great, I'm also loving the self-covers on NOT greatest hits.

i literally love older bands... it's sad they don't have enough visibility 

Agreed. The new, young bands get most of the hype, even here. But I was happy to see MUCC's anniversary releases and the D'erlanger tribute album getting some real discussion going lately.  Maybe with more of us we can help bring a little visibility back to older bands who deserve it.

Welcome fellow Mucker! Nice to see you still enjoy some of the older bands, see you around the forum. ^^

Juri's solo definitely has to be on this list.

Roji was so good. I knew them finding someone so fast had to be too good to be true. Here's hoping their new music doesn't suffer for it too much.

HYPE!!! And they look fabulous. 

Coming out on the 20th? Hell yes.

These guys keep getting better.

Interested to hear Verbal, Masato, and KenKen on these tracks. The last Samurai Sessions was really cool so I hope he keeps it going. 

Finally got around to listening to some J-music this year, here we go.

(I tried to keep this mostly limited to albums/mini albums but a couple of singles that were worth mentioning made their way in.)

A re-recording of that entire album needed to happen. Such great songs. 

Welcome back!!
