wow this thread's quiet :/
 
so i've been reading an assortment of random stuff...
 
fiction:
Rainer Maria Rilke - The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge
Kazuo Ishiguro - Nocturnes . My second (and last) attempt at this.
Doris Lessing - The Grass is Singing. I loveee Lessing, despite what many critics might say. I enjoy her deadpan humor and how witty yet subtly incisive her style is. She reminds me 1000% of what Hannah Arendt novels would look like if those were a thing.
 
non-fiction:
Walter Benjamin - The Writer of Modern Life. Basically a compilation of Benjamin's essays on Baudelaire... but I've read half of them before from elsewhere.
Christopher Hitchens - Arguably. No idea why I'm even reading this.. but nice to have something light in the mix lol.
 
Also promised myself to go through this beauty at some point:
 

 
 
 

Happy happy birthday to @freesia, @Pikachu and @OmegaChaos! : DD Hope you`re having a great day, you guys!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET @freesia AND @Pikachu 

Summer nights with my little girls.

I'm thinking of creating a thread in the LOSSLESS forum for NIL and other Tetsu's bands for selfrips in flac or alac.
Prior to this I'd like to know who has what and if we could join forces.
Here's a picture with my NIL stuff:
 

 

WTH?? I don't understand the necessity of a project like this... Violet UK was decent... but from what is required to apply it will morph visual kei into idol kei or??
S.P.E.E.C.H.L.E.S.S.!

I hope I am able to listen to this new project as well as X JAPAN new album during my lifetime

You are certainly correct, these are not the same chords. This being said, all the chords (or at least the start of the song) appear to share the same function.
 
As you may or may not know, if you know the key of a song you can write a progression like 'E B C#m G#m' as 'I V vi iii'.
 
The reason the chords don't sound the same as what the tabs have you playing is their acoustic arrangement, as is shown in this video, is transposed a whole step down.
 
The original song is in the key of E, this video seems to suggest the acoustic arrangement is in the key of D# (one fret down from E).  It would appear he is still playing the chords as though he is playing in E based on the video, so there are one of two possibilities: either the video has been pitched down a half-step, a common trick used to avoid automatic copyright strikes when uploading to youtube, which would mean on the original DVD it would sound like the chord sheet for the original song, or toru has tuned down a half step to D# standard for this arrangement. It is not uncommon for Toru to tune a half step down so that is just as likely. It would also make the high notes easier on Taka since they just won't be as high.
 
Either way: here are chords that would sound correct. How you use them is up to you, you can either tune your guitar down a half step (every string down half a note, D# standard tuning) and play the same chord shapes as on the tabs you linked, or you can learn the chords in standard (since he appears to be playing as though the guitar is in D# in the video, you may not be able to hit the low D# Major chord exactly as he does if you chose to go the E standard route).

 
 
 
I know this is very late so I'm sorry if it isn't helpful, but it was good fun to work this out either way.

I was surprised to see one of my favorite Japanese bands (probably my second  favorite active Japanese post-hardcore group behind SiM) was not yet up for discussion here (apologies if they are, I search 3 variants on their name including abbreviation).
 
Fear, & Loathing in Las Vegas
So - Vocals, Programming
Minami - Vocals, Keyboard, Programming
Sxun - Lead Guitars, Vocals
Taiki - Guitars, Vocals
Tomonori - Drums, Pitched Percussion
Kei - Bass
 
Stylistically the band has roots in post-hardcore, but have since further embraced the electronic elements brought in by Minami's sampling and synthesis to perform a wider array of different genres, incorporating strong elements of EDM, Jazz, Chiptune, and Pop-Punk and Deathcore in their more recent works. Vocalist So has been actively using hard tuning on his vocals since the band's first releases, but the band has since evolved to take full advantage of this sound, using less subtle hard tune and both mono and poly lead vocoders on his voice to achieve their signature sound today. Sxun, who typically has the least vocal processing live, does most of the talking and would appear to be the voice of the band between songs. So also programs and maintains his own vocoders live, seemingly through discreet midi signal controllers.
 
My opinions:

I won't lie, I initially started listening to Fear, & Loathing in Las Vegas as a bit of a joke, convincing myself that I was entertaining myself by listening to one of the weirdest rock bands out there. This outlook quickly evolve through repetition into genuine appreciation for the band, especially when I realized how they manage to pull off such a chaotic sound live (outside of the studio) and still make it sound fun, catchy, and not completely messy, which can be rare in their brand of chaotic post-hardcore, even without the hurdle of so much programming and the required punctuality that comes with it. Unfortunately I have never been to one of their live shows in person, though I have seen similar bands perform live and it leaves me no doubt that seeing Fear, & Loathing in Las Vegas' live set would be an amazing experience, and I've seen their Animals II DVD which only makes me dream of seeing their performance all that much more.
