Hi guys, I hope this is not a wrong place to post this question. I know how to rip videos from YouTube and other commonly used streaming sites. But today I've been spending the entire day trying to save an episode of VijuLoveCafe from here http://visualand.tv/talk/vlcafe/1778/ I tried a lot of programs and none work. Live capture of my screen strangely enough does not record audio. I tried playing the entire video and search for the cache in temp files folder, but it's not there. I used Firefox and looked at page info to see all the files embedded, but only the player is embedded, not the video file itself. I'm all out of ideas. If you know a program/method that can solve this problem, please let me know, it would make my life so much easier. Thank you!

Thank you for writing this down eloquently, but I think this is exactly the point where a few people (although perhaps not all) went to crazy town.

Oh lol them, ok Well I don't mind if they're getting roasted for being weaboo (if they get roasted for being girly, now that's a different topic). And you can't compare that part to a Japanese band because Japanese can't be weaboo themselves (unless they can?)

What man, I see/read/hear nothing lalalalalallalalala HIZAKI HIME SAMAAAAAAA Well clearly the winner would be DeG and The Gazette.... and Maria Cross hurr

NOOOOOOOO Y NO Meshuggah And dafuq with DeG winning against Arch Enemy I kinda want to blame it on DeG groupies

Roasted? Well shit, what band is this?

Yellowca--- whoops not VK, but their Asian violin player would do mid-air backflips during the song and shit I think the amount of violin in VK is a bit more than that in other rock music. Allow me to display one of its most glorious moments 5CNaR65Fipw

I think all rock genres are still alive, they look like they're dead because they went underground or they take on a new form. You think 80s hair metal is dead? Well now you can call it "Visual Kei". And just when you thought Visual Kei is dead, there's Neo-Visual Kei. Think about it, first there was punk, and then there was hardcore punk, and then there was grunge, post-hardcore, etc. Guess what, they're all still "punk" (or half-punk, or whatever), just the modern-day form. I think it's hard to tell from your perspective, since you are following a non-mainstream music scene, and you know where to find the communities connected to it. Who knows, other people might already think it's dead. But I'm pretty sure that anywhere, any time (in the next few decades at least), there will always be some dude who likes to dress up like a chick who looks like a dude, and play a guitar solo in every damn song or sing in a bizarrely out-of-tune gothic vibrato while looking like that.

(I dunno if there has been a thread about this. If there was, sorry that I couldn't find it, and please merge this with the older thread.) I always find it kind of weird when people outside Japan are forming Visual bands. I mean, what I find weird is not the fact that they look or sound like a Visual band (I think "VK", or just the whole tradition of dressing up outrageously/theatrically in a musical performance is a pretty universal concept. And of course I'm not bothered with international bands having their sound influenced by VK bands, because hey we all have influences). Rather, I'm puzzled when they have Japanese stage names/band name/ lyrics etc. Maybe I shouldn't think that's weird, because perhaps back then it's also weird for bands outside an English-speaking country do the same thing in English, but now it's a common thing. Maybe I personally just don't really see the point why they don't just use whatever they're most fluent in, and despite growing up in foreign countries, I'm unreasonably uncomfortable about people being really really too into foreign stuff. Although I've been thinking about this for a long time, the reason why I suddenly want to make this thread is because I was watching VijuLoveCafe, and noticed that they have been having international visual bands as guests. In episode 13, I was surprised to discover that the international guest is an Indonesian band called Chocoretto. (My nationality is Indonesian, although I'm not fluent in Indonesian anymore because I've lived abroad for 11 years. Maybe that's why I was surprised, I have zero idea on what's currently happening with music scene, youth culture, and effects of globalization back there). And of course my first reaction is "darn, another visual-inspired non-Japanese band with Japanese stage names", although their lyrics are in pretty understandable in Engrish. Anyways, that's my honest reaction/opinion. What do you all think?

white room of awesomeness 4vtnsAUrr10 BJrzPFmjKFk E71ps6cqvOc I knew it looks familiar! o_o I wonder if some of the churches/chapels in the PV are actually the same. Not sure, but... v0Qyh1dX8i4 wUF8DuSAt84

good story, I shall read it before I sleep for some good dreams

I was just reading stuff about third culture kids, and then saw all my middle/high school classmates listed on fb, then suddenly burst into tears thinking how I have lost forever my opportunity to have a good relationship with them because now they're scattered all around the world. And as selfish as it may be, I feel as if I'm more homeless than they are because I didn't have many friends, am bad at keeping in contact with people and can't even speak my own native language fluently anymore. And next year I'm going to graduate from college and say goodbye to everyone all over again. This sucks. My childhood DID suck.

I read ADAPTER。 and Dolly. I say, pls upload the rips, lol.

Yea, at least he seems to be fine. I have a feeling that this has something to do with legal/record label trouble. If he just doesn't want to be with the band, he'd leave the band, but wouldn't try to pull off some serious shit like this.

unf unf unf Just ordered their 2 singles. Do want that album bad.

lol seriously, the fuck is wrong with this guy, he's worse than Kiwi XD I hope he's not also lying/delusional about vomiting blood, that's just too huge of a lie

vivi (moran, dragonwapppppper) oh gawd he's shiny with cuteness (O_O)

and weeks later, still nothing... I really don't know what to think...

even though I'm not a Gullet fan, if that really happens I would actually be a bit happier

why the flying fuck is this happening? someone please explain to me goddamn it I haven't been able to relax my face muscles for like the past 30 minutes because of this Didn't notice it until now, you're right, probably even one of their best looks That picture, coming along with the news, nearly made me cry because it looks as if someone's dying. Yes, I know, more than half of vk bands always look like someone's dying, but damnit (;__

get well soon also please stop smoking... all of you

This!

I just ran into the Mourning Thread in the other forum and got scared that this year it's going to be Bansaku. I hope not. I'm tired of musicians dying every time July comes around. Stupid fucking July....

Not in US? Not news This is what I fear the most... except minus the funny shit....

If I remember correctly, ジミニークリケット is on an indefinite hiatus. Yeah, in his blog he's still listed as a ジミニークリケット member. Hiatus y u no end? Is it that difficult to find another drummer?
