BUMP I'm now selling Cure, Shoxx, Fool's Mate magazines for $5 each Click on my siggy for sales post v

So I went to the ameblo of this male pr0n actor named Kenta and saw this picture. Kenta wrote that he was playing darts with this guy on the right (same age as him, so born around year 1982?) who is a bandman, and his name is Hachi. Now, I totally wouldn't have dropped my jaw if this guy on the right doesn't totally look like Dolly's Hachi Right? Right? Don't you think he looks like Dolly's Hachi? v Also it seems that Hachi has blogged about playing darts a few times (although it's not an uncommon hobby)... and I think Hachi's birthday is August 2, 1982. If that's really him..... small woooorrrrlllllddd!!!! Six degrees of separation black magic etc (Also, I didn't realize that porn actors can be SO normal)

I get that warm and fuzzy feeling when a musician I came across several years ago is still alive and well ^^

A new 160GB iPod After 5 years of abusive use, my old iPod finally "died". That is, the audio jack is messed up and sound only comes out on 1 side of the earphones. Otherwise the old iPod is still relatively fine, surprisingly (o_o)

Nemesis (네미시스) - 솜사탕

So I just found out that the band Rec-Lens, which said they were "disbanding" a while ago, basically just un-visualized themselves and reformed immediately as... Rec-Lens, a non-visual band. Lol wut.

I stumbled upon this picture of LiN from UNiTE. HOLY SH*T HE'S ADORABLE!!!! agggagagagaggggggkslalkglks;lka nei Yea I didn't see that coming.

Lol. I don't mind bands wearing stupid masks, it's just the fact that they consciously try to appeal to angsty 12-year-olds that pisses me off. I like some of their songs, but not all of them are very interesting. Aside from that, basically every metal/power metal/symphonic metal/math metal/etc bands that play really well but don't always have catchy hooks and end up sounding too repetitive and boring. I also respect X and Yoshiki for the astral magnitude of their success. But I'm not into X. Also Yoshiki the entrepreneur makes me facepalm every time, effective as his business methods may be. Oh and the fact that he's so "fuck yeah I'm a veekay god who lives in LA and I getz all teh white chicks". K bro you have the rights to do whatever you want because you worked hard for it...

I did this when I was 16. Before I was super into the hardcore/punk scene, and then my favorite bands started breaking up and stuff. Also, I tried to end my general obsession with non-mainstream rock music. Somehow instead I got really into watching the anime Honey & Clover and only listened to the artists in the soundtrack all the time (Spitz, Suga Shikao). Actually that gradually led me to discover japanese punk bands and visual kei, and veekay gradually led me back to listening to hardcore/punk. Lol, the irony.

LIPHLICH's Kuga keeps reposting Kiyoharu's messages on Twitter XD this is very amusing, I've always known he's a hardcore fanboy!

Oh almost forgot to add 新興宗教楽団NoGoD - 「夢見少女」, the guitar solo about 2 minutes into the song. Whatchucallit, the hunting theme? Starts at 8:59 here v in Rossini's "William Tell Overture", Finale

lol awesome thread XD About Pachelbel's "Canon in D", I think we need to draw the line between the songs that simply use the descending 3rd sequence (the same chord progression) vs. the ones that also use the melody/arrangement quite closely enough to resemble Pachelbel's piece specifically. Although yes it's quite tricky, because the characteristic melodic gestures in "Canon in D" doesn't start until one-third to halfway through the piece, and most of the rest are just some long-ass chords (- _ -) LM.C and Arc are definitely direct copy pasta. I would also consider "Fender" by Moran as pointing a reference directly "Canon in D", even though I don't know how much of it are copied directly, but for the entire song "Fender" uses string instruments that are doing legato gestures very similar to "Canon in D". I'm not sure about The Cherry Cokes' "Forward Again" because I can't find the full song. If you're referring to the instrumental part with the keyboard(?) riff, I don't remember hearing that exact riff in "Canon in D" (I might be wrong, maybe I just didn't hear it because it's not the main melody). Same about hide's "Rocket Dive", if you're referring to the guitar riff 2.5 minutes into the song, I don't remember hearing the same thing in Pachelbel. As for L'arc's "Blurry Eyes", I don't think it's close enough for copy pasta-considerations. Because if we say they're "copy pasta" just because of the chord progression, then we might as well also list every VK song with a descending 5th sequence chord progression (which is every other 90s VK song) and say they are "copy pasta'd" from every classical piece with a descending 5th sequence (which is every other classical piece ever). But I don't think that's fair to say, because using sequences is like just using music theory.

Dang, they really are running in full force. I wonder if they might be aiming on going major, seem to be doing tons of publicity too especially after vivi & Ivy joined.

I checked out yazzmad on Youtube after reading your post. Sounds interesting, wasn't quite what I was expecting, but in a good way. Thanks, I discovered a new band today ^^ edit: ah, 3 out of the bands you mentioned are doing the lo-fi thingy.. or is it Youtube sound quality? lol

drunq + watching Dog in the PWO shizzle = too effing weird don't do it while under the influence of harder chemicals http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUymCg3mH1c

Good news, Loki is still active on twitter: https://twitter.com/Loki_gantzfeld It seems like a lot of ppl in vk have migrated from ameblo to twitter ^^. I dunno what musical activities he's been up to, but the good news is he's still in contact with musicians who are active (...unlike some people, sigh...)

cocklobin (for like 9 months now) and Signal They're like metalcore with too much catchy (and not too much metalcore if you know what I mean) plus shredding. Makes me super happy.

cocklobin - KAGEUTUSHI So I've been listening to cocklobin's single "here" this week, and I've been thinking a lot about how both songs in the single stylistically resemble Hey Mercedes's "Everynight Fire Works" (2001). And so I got into "Everynight" again after not having listened to it for quite a long time. It's like reliving middle school.

So far I've been getting my school work done on time Yes, so far..... *cold sweat*
