Wicked Teletubby

here's an apology pic. this is him wearing Toshiya's brand, DIRT.

he should have named the band Sukekyo.

have you guys seen Soviet Winnie the Pooh?

he's not a monkey. he's Cheburashka. this creature isn't aware of his origins but he's very friendly and kind. and he has a friend, a crocodile.

not as ridiculous as the useless second bass drum. there's even no pedal attached to it.

Shinya has now switched to full enchilada rehearsing for X Japan's Toshi solo show.

people started complaining about DIR EN GREY/Sukekiyo product prices like several years ago. as far as I remember, this happens absolutely each time anything from them comes out.

FIVE SONGS!!!

guys didn't make it until the live shows and cancelled venue sales for the single. problem was the bonus blu-ray. aside from that, here's the trailer:

yup. his usual Pearl Masters Retrospec minus useless second bass drum and rototoms.

also Shinya has started tracking drums for the new single.

well, they do have Black Babymetal without Su, right? four songs by now.

this is wrong on so many levels.

ok, time to give it a proper listen and then make some notes. yay for new BM!

THE FINAL started being ugh like years ago.

I liked that. sounds like a great way to finish the album. still I don't like the idea of giving out an album opener and a closer before the actual release. oh well. PS: what the hell is that saying at the end? English is so not my native language but this is awkwardly wrong to my ears.

I find the News section over here somewhat disturbing. because I get to see tons of Japanese band names and it gets weird a lot sometimes. the one that I always stumble upon, is 'gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy.' can't probably think of any other shit that could get any weirder than this. the word 'gibkiy' ("гибкий") is a Russian word meaning something 'flexible.'

is it ok to name non Japanese band? because probably there's no band in the world I hate as much as Assking Alexandria. I really gave this bunch of screaming kids a try. lots of tries. ended up closing ALL videos at around half mark. so bland, so stupid, so pathetic, too polished. OHHHH MYYYYY GOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111one!!!11eleven whew. I feel so much better now.

video for KARATE. not sure if you need to be registered to watch. it's a Russian social network, VK. no longer needed.

always ending up crying through sunglasses.
