Hi, I'm new here. 
Brief intro, my nick derive from always using the 3rd stall in the restroom.

Coldrain and the audience that night were AWESOME. There was so much interaction between the band and us. The audience was, to my surprise, extremely active and was so violent in the mosh pit and pushing and squishing to the front. I was standing in the third row at first and felt like a packed salmon in a can, but then I moved around from the right side, then to the left side, and then the middle during all the pushing. Lots of dudes even took off their shirt and went half naked in the show and I noticed one of them had his back went bleeding.

Masato must have noticed the crowd loved the "heavy shit"(this was what he described) more so after the song Confession, he asked us if we wanted heavy shit or soft songs, the crowd shouted heavy so they skipped what supposedly used to be another soft song in their setlist to a heavier one which was You Lie. Honestly, I was more in for another soft song like Miss You but, oh well, heavy shit was fun too.

Masato asked the crowd to form mosh pits for three times during the show. In the first mosh pit, the crowd didn't follow his instructions to mosh pit after the count of three for two times. Masato went like "What's this shit, Hong Kong?" and teased us that they're gonna stop the show and started to go back to the backstage. The crowd immediately cried "No! Come back!" and then Masato gave us another chance, this time the crowd did what he asked. After that, the crowd got smarter and mosh pit successfully for another two times.

Masato tried to speak Cantonese during two MC's. At first, the crowd went "What?" when he tried to say that we were fucking awesome in Cantonese, he tried another time and we finally understood and yelled out happiness. The second time, he said that he loved us in Cantonese and it was easy to understand this time.

After they played the song Gone, Masato asked us what song we wanted to hear, any song, and they'll play it as a special request for Hong Kong. Some people yelled "We're Not Alone" and Masato heard it. He said they haven't practiced the song for a long time but they'll try to play it for us. We were so fucking happy and satisfied.
 
Right before they played We're Not Alone, Masato told us that shit happens and when that happened in our lives, he hoped that their music could make us feel stronger and that was what music could do. These words he said corresponded to the lyrics of We're Not Alone - "If there's a place inside this world. Where hopes and dreams are not yet lost. We'll stand and fight against these walls. We'll fight this fight forevermore". Adding impact to the meaning of the song.
 
During the show, some of the band members went to the front and touched some of the fans at the front row. I tried to touch Masato but failed, but at the end, I managed to get a touch of RxYxO's sweaty arm. Some fans fought each other for the stuff the band threw to us, I didn't manage to get any.

Masato kept saying we're awesome and promised they would come back next year after releasing their new and upcoming album this year!

been debating for a long time if i should show myself here or not but i trimmed my hair yesterday and felt pretty happy about myself so hi
 
i miss my longer hair tho. this was me from a year ago. i was thinking about growing it out like yusuke koba's mane but having to tie it up at work made me feel more girly so i've been going back to shorter hairstyles
 

Tracklist:
01. BLOOD
02. CREATURE
03. the whirl
 
| lynch. is as lynch. does
 
Either my standards have risen too high, or the floor has fallen out, but 2017 has been a symphony of bands failing to meet my expectations. No single or album has resonated with me, and I've been on the lookout for the next act ready to blow up the scene. That's why it's deliciously ironic that the one band I expect nothing new from delivered something that captures my attention, and they did it by doing what they always do.

The secret to liking lynch. is to expect nothing new. A band that's been together for thirteen years knows themselves musically, and forcing change just to change is how you end up with EXODUS. Much like their departed big brother DEATHGAZE, lynch. has a defined sound they shouldn't stray far from. They went to one extreme with pop on I BELIEVE IN ME, the other into metal with EXODUS, and yet they always come back a mix of pop and metalcore that's undeniably lynch.. BLOOD THIRSTY CREATURE is your standard lynch. single through and through, and I guarantee you already know how you feel about it before listening.

It goes without saying that I like the two new tracks "BLOOD" and "CREATURE", but I don't remember the melody from either. "BLOOD" is your two minute banger virtually indistinguishable from "BEAST", "MAD", or "ANIMA". There wasn't ever much depth in these sub-three minute tracks and "BLOOD" is no exception. "CREATURE" is the more interesting of the two new offerings, sounding like a more traditional lynch. song, and it hides its recycled parts better. I particularly enjoy the break down near the end, but I would be lying if I said that both of these tracks could have been on AVANTGARDE and no one would have noticed. The real attraction is the re-recording of "the whirl", which is low-key one of my favorite lynch. tracks due to the dynamics between soft and heavy. This contrast is not lost in the re-recording, and is perhaps even enhanced with the clean production and the grittier metal bits. I hate to say it's the best track here, because that takes away from the impact of the new material, but it is.

Don't get the wrong impression about "BLOOD" and "CREATURE" - both are fine singles and lynch. has produced far worse in the past - but that's it. A band that stays in the same musical realm for thirteen years is bound to repeat themselves eventually. The best thing about knowing what to expect is knowing what to expect, and the boys find some way to surprise me with every album. If we treat this single as a sample of what to come, the next lynch. album is shaping up to be slightly more memorable than the last.

I don't even remember which of the lynch. albums is the most recent one, but that's the price one pays for consistency.

hi again

Been a while since I showed my ugly visage around here. Just got back from an awesome gig, and got this new beanie, it's so comfy & warm <3 

Despite making a vow to myself to never buy gazette DVDs again due to how ridiculously over priced they are I didn't think they'd ever release these one off gigs on disc so... I need that setlist in my life. That and the fact they're wearing costumes adds a lot more entertainment value to it than a plain celebratory live imo
(and holy fuck does that mean I get to see nun Uruha in action? This is the best thing gazette has ever released.) 

Wore my new choker and I like it.
