Nightmare's Yomi new band TAKE NO BREAK
 
>be Yomi
>start damaging your vocal chords around 2014
>restrain your vocal range and performance for Nightmare while it does worse
>get a polyp around 2016
>get barely any treatment
>go back to touring and recording and definetly ruining your voice for good
>band decides you are a fucking jerk and decides for you that they are going to have an hiatus so you can fucking heal
>get a new band
>call it TAKE NO BREAK because hah! who needs that!?
>it sounds unbeareable
>not all the vocal filtering and programming cand mask how awful vocals sound
>master everthing so instruments and effects are also very loud
>still unbeareable to hear
>"it's BOOM BOOM SATELLITES influence"
>Nobody buys that
>now hitsugi sings better than you
>now Sakito sings better than you
>be grateful the other 2 nightmare members arent opening their mouths to sing and probably embarassyou further
>continue touring and ruining your throat  for nine months until you will have to retire
 
I can not stress how awful it sounds.
 

Yeah, BUCK-TICK are still up there!

Someone painted what the band sounds like. 

Nahhhh I wouldn't say so. RUKA and Hitsugi have been doing there own thing for a few years now, I reckon Sakito is just keeping himself busy whilst YOMI fucks up his voice some more

got myself a copy - super curious how they'll sound...

Euclid Agency (artist management/CD recoding & publishing titan that has Golden Bomber, Anli Pollicino, some Penicillin side projects, etc, under their belt) has announced that actor Ryuji Sato is starting his solo project titled The Brow Beat under the ballisticly original artistic name "Ryuji".  The whole thing is being musically produced (aka songwriting  and musician selection) by Penicillin's Vo and general VK legend Hakuei.
 
Ryuji seems to have a very prolific role in theathers, TV drama and some movies. He has been doing a musical play lately so he has some performance experience. Admiteldy, I had no idea of who he is and have to look all of this stuff up, but, yeah, he's a big deal.
 
 
 
 
His first album 「ラグナロク」 (Ragnarok) will be released Jan 1st 2018 under TAMULA (Euclid's sublabel for Penicillin Side projects) in 3 types:
 
A: CD+DVD (DVD: 2 PVS + MAKING) 2800JPY + tax

No support or recording members have been announced at this time. Euclid themselves already have a decent pool. The real interesting thing is Hakuei gabbing his phone though. Look at the credits for his latest solo album if you don't know what I mean.
 
While Free Will and Goemon put their bets on Kizu and the still very mysterious Poidol respectively, Euclid seems to be making their next big move now that Zonbi has found their footing.  Interesting stuff.

SPEECIES has just dropped a fun lil' MV for a new song titled ロックン露悪流マルカジリ.
 
 
yyyyeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

Nightmare in general is very despised overall, even though they are much more capable, consistent and proven than most VK groups and quite a few regular Jrock bands. Being very popular (at least a few years back) but not being absolutely excellent also makes them an easy target. I am also quite sure that during the late 2000's when VK was more popular they were seen as a "band noobs like" because their music was a geatway into VK for many people due to anime. Most of the older VK fans at the time started to be actively dismissive in Nightmare topics because they associated the band with ignorance about the scene. The trend has persisted as the band's output has been much less consistant but it still existed in 2008, 2009 when their music was more solid and cohesive.
 
There are also people who just don't like the band or Yomi's vocals. 
 
Also keep in mind that negative reactions are much more motivating than positive ones and people are much more inclined to show opposition than interest, specially on the internet. This creates a climate that does not encourage constructive talk about the band because bad impressions pile up so much that people who may want to say other kind of thigs feel out of place.
 
Happens in every communty in every place on the internet; everything is, to a degree,  a sort of echo chamber of negative feedback.
 
TL;DR - Some peole think Nightmare was too popular for how good they are. Also, it's the internet.

TAKE NO BREAK will release their first mini album 2017/10/26 for 2500JPY.
 
 
 
BRAND NEW SOUND track list:

ALBA

Come on man, we all know VK CD sales don't pay the bills for anyone. Gotta promote live shows.
 
"[Band name] announces conditional suicide live - bassist wiill permanently kaisan from life if attendance is too low"
 
That's some good promo right there.
