Karma’s Hat

I love it. It almost makes me feel like I'm listening to real adult music that i'm not ashamed to tell people i like™ 
 
Infinitum grew on me as well. I think my first reaction was totally enamored, first of all because it's vk in the 2010's that actually shows some ambition to be more than just japanese nu metal or indie too rigid to actually be indie, but then I started thinking that well it isn't exactly ADORATIO; now almost an year later I'm able to accept it for what it is. ADORATIO is an impossible act to follow and that's just how it is. These are the most talented players in this particular game and with their music they almost manage to compensate for an entire genre that resists experimentation or unconformity literally until it has to be dragged kicking and screaming into the new decades.

There's one guy making these top PV videos on youtube on a monthly basis and when you get through one of them you'll think "I never heard of any of these fucking bands" and they sometimes actually look like they got money behind them as well. 
 
 
fantastic resource to see what's going on the scene as long as you know what you're getting into. of course most of the bands sound "generic" because the amount of bands is absurdly high and that's how this music always sounds like anyway with slight variations. 

I herd embryo is about how he lost his virginity 

And now it begins...

it's out x 
 

When they're on and firing on all cylinders, they're like the most talented vk band around and every member can play their ass off. I'm of the opinion that their concept is holding them back because it's those moments when they don't sound like something that would play in the wash room of a chinese restaurant when they're at their best. The last track from the most recent album was a great showing how they would sound without all that... you know... shit
 
 

Contacted _Yomigaeri on twitter for her shopping services for Rands goods, she wasn't charging a fee, so that part was great, so I asked for a towel and the latest album.
 
Communication was very sparce and I constanly had to bug her to get any news. She only ends up getting me the towel as the day she chose to get the CD, the store had an instore. Lucky enough the band finally released it for download. So that was fine. Took about two weeks after she gets home to finally ship the towel. I've asked her what the shipping price was, still waiting for the answer as I should be getting a some money back.
 
Maybe it's just me but if someone offers a shopping service, they should be more active in dealing with their customers, keeping them updated, do things when you say you'll do them as you areresponsible with someone elses money.
 
I wouldn't use her again.

Sun is shining so I could probably go somewhere and do something

Guess who's going to Mexico, well not Dimlim
Less than 30 Tickets sold, I'm part of the problem, a broken university student without money, I'd love to go but no money

For the next 2 weeks I will enjoy my very first Japan-trip. As I will visit 4 concerts in this period I thought you may be interested in a report of the shows.
 
February 15, 2020 - Buglug, Arlequin, Kizu (Man only) - Meguro Rokumeikan

 
So this will be it: My first concert on Japanese ground! I was beyond excited. The concert was scheduled for 5:30. We went there early to avoid any troubles. In front of the venue a nice guy from Israel spotted us and gave us some useful tips for attending a concert in Japan (the entrance system, behaving etc.) Thanks for that man! He also told us that this venue is legendary one. Especially known for X Japan shows in their indies. 
We entered the venue after climbing some stairs down. It was much smaller then I expected. I would say it has a capacity of 150~200. There were no boundaries in front of the stage so the atmosphere is really  intimate. 
 
Arlequin (アルルカン) started the evening. Of course I am familiar with the name of the band but never dared to listen to them. But wow - they were great! They really really had fun with the man only gig. Aki pumped us with shouting Otoko!! several times. He even grabbed his guts lol. He did some stage diving between one song. I really liked his stage performance and the rest of the band was great too! I will definitely get into their discography. They played around 45 minutes. I can‘t report a setlist, sorry. 
 
Second band was (finally) Kizu (キズ). They were the main reason for choosing this concert as I really ship them! So this report will be very long. 😁
As not being the headliner you could see that most of the fans came for Kizu. So as their intro started the venue was pumped!
Lime‘s outfit was a mix between a vampire and the Joker. He had a long black cape, joker makeup (the Heath Ledger one) and hair extension. 
Reiki looked as usual with his short trousers. But his hair is grown much longer. 
Yue had a very dandy look with his hair combed back. He wore a black suit which was open so you could see his upper body. 
Kyonosuke had an interesting look with combed back hair too and a black ruffled indefinable top.
 
They started with Heisei which is so much better live! Lime played a second guitar. 
Next song was Buta also a very nice live experience. 
Then Jugo - and omg what a madness. So much headbanging and Furi. Same with the following Elise.
I‘m not a big fan auf Kuro ame but I have to admit the song is beautiful live. Lime sang the first verse without microphone and that gave me shivers. You could also see that the song is very emotional for the whole band.
The silence after Kuro ame was short as they played Oshimai - fuck yes! It was wild. Reiki did his guitar flip and the crowd was insane. 
Last song was Kizuato - forget what I was saying about Oshimai... this song was insane! That breakdown in the end. 😱 I hoped that they play it and I was so happy. 
And this was it. A 45 minute concert which felt like 10 minutes... If you have any chance to watch them, do it!
 
Setlist キズ:

And last but not least BugLug entered the stage. They were the headliner for the show. I‘ve never heard one song of them so I was excited to see what they may deliver. Light went out and a SE started to play as someone tiped my shoulder. It was the lead singer lol. They surprised us and came from the entrance straight through the audience to the stage. They shouted something with a megaphone. That was really cool. Next surprise: Before they started to iniateted a wall of death. Neat!
They did a really good and entertaining show with stage diving, moshing, fan service etc. While the last song the singer came right into the audience and sang the whole song there and even started to mosh. 
Great band but their music is not my cup of tea. (Please don‘t kill me dear BugLug fans!)
They also played 45 minutes. I don‘t know their songs but I took a picture of their setlist if someone is interested.
 
So this was it! A great concert with left us all with smiling faces. next one is the Meme Oneman on February 18.
 
I hope you liked this review and didn‘t fall asleep while reading. I will soon write again after the next concert.

this is the "everyone is getting old except uruha and the drinking is catching up with them so time to hide their faces" look

took on the streets before deg /w @WhirlingBlack

i guess they screamed in 5 or 6 songs in a discography of close to a 100, and 12012 and sadie that are somehow related to the topic did some dss close late in their run, so case closed nega is a deg cover band

Calling them a deg knock-off because Jin started screaming 2/3rds into their career is a bit of a stretch. Not even the DSS prog aspirations of like one song the last album really cut it for such a label. 
 
Early Nega is quintessential UCP sounding stuff that was musically going along the same broad strokes vk was in general at that time. Deg doesn't have the trade mark on screams, growls and chugs when you can find that in vk from like 2000 onwards, or 2001 in this case since Ray was already ripping off Slipknot by that time while the boys in Dir en grey were still dressed in drag.
