All the photos prove (granted by my own interpretation) is 1. the woman definitely knew and had some sort of relationship with Kisaki thatw ent wrong, 2. that the woman was definitely injured, 3. that Kisaki at the very least doesn't know how to handle a child/respect a child's physical boundaries, 4. that Riku doesn't trust Kisaki, and 5. that Kisaki ran some kind of Y!JA price-boosting scam. Many of these reflect really poorly on him anyway: 4 and 5 completely match his known behaviors, and the 3rd one is a big ass red flag that would seriously worry me even if the other allegations were somehow proven 100% false tomorrow. But there is still room for being critical of the claims as they've been presented without assuming that anyone doing so is caping for Kisaki/bandmen everywhere so try to keep your heads screwed on when it comes to throwing around words like 'innocence'.

I know there's a difference in the quality and detail of evidence provided. I also know that Kisaki is a proven dickhead with a literal rap sheet and that people will understandably weigh that into their judgments. But there are translated assault/rape allegations ostensibly from multiple people against Kyo & Daisuke in this same subforum that have been treated with kid gloves comparatively. I have my own assumptions about Kisaki's guilt like anyone else but it's been annoying me to see not strictly MH members, but off-site people who have jumped on this story as undeniable fact but also decrying tanuki/anonymous sources when it comes to bandmen they actually like because ???.

Unless this manifests as an arrest or court case, I'm leaning towards thinking the woman deleted the account because of tanuki scrutiny or regret for posting the pictures of the child. A lot of the posts I read were quite harsh on the mother for taking pictures of her kid looking distressed, and for posting them on social media. I'd also seen some throwaway accounts reply to to her last tweet about deleting the pictures of the kid and criticizing her for originally only deleting a portion.

^^ @Chi I was just searching and a user posted a DM convo they had with the account OP who said that multiple people supposedly helped report him and also said she believes it will lead to an arrest. I hope she's right and that it does go to a court...

Literally just now hearing about rape allegations towards Kyo and Daisuke, but I do remember someone talking about a select group of dudes (Kyo, Daisuke, Tatsurou, a few others) that participated in questionable behavior. 
 
But there’s no doubt people just have it out for Kisaki. Of course his tax evasion bullshit and overall garbage approach to making money warrants the negative attention. But a few months back there was a “bad boys of VK poll/thread” and last I remember Kisaki was coming out on top over dudes that assaulted women. At the time, all we knew was about Kisaki’s poor business practices, but somehow he was getting more bad boy votes than Wataru, a guy that straight up fucking choked a woman. That has to be a case of serious blind fanaticism when assualt doesn’t register on your radar. 

I am aware that you are referring to me, but why do you want my opinion so badly? What exactly do you want me to say that will rile up your sensationalism about this? I’m not going to speak of the subject because I am emotionally drained about this enough as we speak. Please keep these jokes in your thoughts, I’ll just have none of them.

Ik kijk weinig tot geen Nederlandse series en films, maar laatst is Redbad uitgekomen. Michiel de Ruyter moet ook goed zijn. Verder heb je de hele rits aan Carice van Houten films (Zwartboek, Komt een vrouw bij de dokter, Jackie, De gelukkige huisvrouw, etc). 

Purchased my VIP ticket and photo session ticket! 

Riku literally unfollowed everyone haha, but even before that a lot of people have been making all sorts of things up. 
 
And I’m not sure if they will. Kisaki said he won’t be forming a new band and that his main focus now lies on revival shows with Mirage and that he wouldn’t be doing any more session shows, which is however already thrown over now with this event with Riku. Although you can never be sure with him, I just don’t think he can let the music go. Riku also said chariots would be his final band. 

Bar Paradox will hold a special event on August 25th for its celebrative 15 years of existence. The main act of the event is a special unit consisting of Riku and Kisaki.

Don't know exactly where to place this since I can't find the general 'want to buy' thread, so this seems appropriate.
 
So I've been trying to track down the Vampire Hunter D novels, but it's proving rather difficult. I'm looking for the Dark Horse editions only (fangirl, yada yada) in English. Anything from volume 6 until recent releases seem relatively easy to find, but it's the first five novels that are just impossible. They're either from different publishers or Kindle versions which I absolutely do not want. I'm in Europe, so if anyone could link me to stores that sell the first volumes I'd be grateful. If you happen to walk through your local comic book store or something and you come across them, we could arrange a purchase (kind of a shopping service idea?). Thanks in advance.

I'm currently reading the manga for Goblin Slayer, so I can give a bit of insight. Its overarching plot is pretty dark, but it does fall victim to ecchi moments from certain characters/scenarios. I honestly can't give away much more without kinda spoiling it, so I'll put the rest under spoiler tags...
 
I don't think the ecchi detracts from the plot, but you never know with adaptations what the central (visual) focus will be. What I will say, is that if it's paced properly, the 3 episode rule will be a good indicator if you'll enjoy it or not. I'm personally not picking it up until I get the thumbs up that it's a proper adaptation. 

Ever since he started gaining some attention in the drag queen world his music turned to absolute garbage. So it’s been two or three years since he released something decent. Pity. 

Would like to take a small moment to promote my boyfriend’s and friends’ band’s first demo. Atmospheric black metal from the Netherlands, female vocals (lyrics all in Dutch). Enjoy!

I finally listened to some releases. My list is probably not going to be large enough to keep a file on as per usual, so I will just do it here instead.

I love that people unfollowing each other is now definitive proof of HATRED and ETERNAL GRUDGE
 
oh vk scene, please never change

name more iconic duo

Riku literally unfollowed everyone haha, but even before that a lot of people have been making all sorts of things up. 
 
And I’m not sure if they will. Kisaki said he won’t be forming a new band and that his main focus now lies on revival shows with Mirage and that he wouldn’t be doing any more session shows, which is however already thrown over now with this event with Riku. Although you can never be sure with him, I just don’t think he can let the music go. Riku also said chariots would be his final band. 

This is purely speculation coming from begrudging Kisaki haters spanning over several decades now, I can’t recall one single comment coming from either of them claiming they hate or even dislike each other. 

Bar Paradox will hold a special event on August 25th for its celebrative 15 years of existence. The main act of the event is a special unit consisting of Riku and Kisaki.
