Just out of curiosity, have you ever followed one of your favorite musicians/actors/etc on social media, and lost your fandom for them as a result of how they act/what they post?

No, because I don't use social media to avoid pretty much what everyone said above. I don't care about politics or drama, I can't do anything about it and so I don't want to hear about it 24/7 and get harassed because I don't have an interest.
That would probably be the main reason I'd lose interest in someone aside obviously from some horrible act like animal abuse / child abuse.
I only made a twitter account this year to keep up with obscure bands releases, but I log in once a week to scan over lol.

I mainly follow VK band guys and japanese gyas. I avoid western artists because they won't shut up with the politics and idiotic opinions about everything that happens.
I don't care about some actor's opinion on the Trump Administration or global warming.

I agree with so much of what platy said! Great advice. This past year, I've started setting my timer and working for 25 minute increments (I think this is based on something called the "Pomodoro Technique", if you wanted to look into it). During that time, I turn my phone to airplane mode so there's no distractions. Depending on where you are in the assignment, you could even think about switching off your PC internet for this period of time too. For example, when I'm brainstorming or in the early stages of writing, I just like to get my thoughts out on the screen. Instead of minimizing my document constantly and googling stuff (which could inevitably lead to little tangents into YouTube, MH, etc.), I'll just make a highlighted notes to myself of things to look up later and keep on working. The "googling stuff you need for your assignment" can later be its own 25 minutes. I feel like my productivity has gone up significantly since adopting this method! Finally, as someone who is also a university instructor, please consider reaching out to your professor for advice or just to let them know that you're feeling a bit overwhelmed. Of course, not all will be accommodating, but some (like me!) will be very receptive and actually welcome such e-mails from students, because it at least shows initiative and that you care for your work. The lack of communication from students is something that I still can't get used to. Do I take it personally? Is it just because the student is lazy and/or doesn't care? Is the student just taking the class pass/fail? Or is something more serious/personal going on that's affecting their work? Basically, it's a lot easier for instructors to offer help to the few students who reach out first.

Previews for the full album

Yasss, Chanty, please awaken me from the slight VK-coma I've had for the past half year or so.

Thanks for sharing your list, Platy! My music listening was so meager in 2017 I couldn't even muster up a list... However, two releases in common with my hypothetical list would have absolutely been Japanese Breakfast and GRIMOIRE! Japanese Breakfast's videos are always so good -- I can't wait to see the new music video for "Boyish," my favorite song off that album. "Diving Woman" is actually the only track on the album I'm not too fond of, but I'm definitely glad to see another MH-fan of her! Have you seen any videos/heard her 2016 album, Psychopomp? Also, highly recommended. And GRIMOIRE is probably my favorite active VK band. They are constantly delivering great tunes and kickass PVs. Truth.

What's your favorite loanword (from English, French, etc.) that appears disproportionately often in Japanese music? Mine is "qualia"

Which VK band (past or present) would be most fitting to cover the guitar parts?

Steady Holiday needs more love! Check out this simple, but beautifully shot vod.

Looks like PELICAN FANCLUB is losing their guitarist and the band will continue as a trio??
-
bruh, I just saw Kimbra live. She truly is amazing. She played a lot of new material (not just the singles "Everybody Knows," "Top of the World," and "Human") and there's plenty of variety. One really dance-y/anthemic track, some quieter ones like "Come As You Are," and even an old (but awesome) ballad on guitar that she's supposedly including on the album.
-
Haven't been loving the Spotify singles (they haven't really been leaving much of an impression on me, so far), but I'll check out the full release. Thanks for posting!
-
Really?! That's a strange policy. I've never heard of that.

Finally, my German knowledge has some use for my Japanese music interest??

Hope they're not fucking with us...! Need dat Rubi project [11]

Yes, I'm definitely liking the whole Uranometria single a lot--it has some solid B-sides. Yes! I love the originals of "げんそうシンドローム" and "ぼくとタルパ" but after hearing the album re-recordings, it's clear that the new versions are superior. (My only quibble with "ぼくとタルパ" is during the breakdown in the rerecording--somehow, it sounds a little more epic in the original single with the background arrangement). I wish we could get a rerecording of "ひとりトピア" as well. @ricchubunny, get in here and share your GRIMOIRE love, d00d!
-
Honestly didn't know they were still around, but their self-titled album was so great and such a surprise. Are the members continuing?
-
Best Overall Artist/Band: GRIMOIRE (because they had nice singles, looks, PVs, and a great album. Can't ask for much more!)

Do "Am I the only one who..." YouTube comments ever actually reveal anything new or insightful? Sure as shit doesn't seem like it.
-
When I see a comment/post that starts like that, I stop reading right away Lol

I did a big update to the main post, adding the latest pics, videos, and releases to the discography section. I also updated the poll to add all these new songs. Looking back, GRIMOIRE had a big 2017 with 2 maxi singles, a live-single, and a full album! How did they do? What was your favorite?

Looking forward to more concrete news about this.
