No point in doing a survey theres only one country that matters #SorryNotSorry
 
 

First song is meh. Second song reminded me of ame no waltz. They really are cranking out lots of music...i think they need to slow it down a little before they run into the same problems mejibray were getting into.

Song is ok.look is horrible. The CD cover is horrible. If they are going to do their songs all in English, I hope they at least keep their old sound. If they continue like this, I think I won't follow them very long.

Clean vocals aren't that bad ? He sounds a lot like Mikaru (ex-Dio)

i just felt like i already heard both songs before
 

I think I'm the only person ok with this. They had a great run. I didn't even realize it's been 11 years. I'll miss them, but I think this is fine.

For me, being in my mid 20's and having gotten into VK when I was barely a teenager, I started to be less tolerant of a lot of songs that I'd listen to more openly when I was younger. For example, i'd like certian parts of songs but not choruses or bridges and stuff and just simply block out all the parts I wouldn't like. But as I'm getting older, i'm finding a lot of the music just isn't catchy or is just downright terrible to listen to for me. I consider myself a fan of VK but there's so few songs by a band that I say I like, that I actually like, I'm really not sure if I truly am the fan I say I am. That being said, I'll be following VK for the rest of my life I'm sure haha

idk, i always think i'm over it, but then i find some random new band and sometimes i still straight binge on the stuff.  at this point i very srsly doubt i'll ever be "over it" lol

I tend to stick to slower songs so I can keep up with reading the lyrics. The one exception to that is Sayonara Rain by Merry. I always liked singing along to the piano version in the car so I know it better than a lot of other fast songs.
 
The rest of my regular rotation:
Cassis- Gazette
Gackt- Todokanai Ai to Shitteita no ni Osaekirezu ni Aishitsuzuketa
L'arc~en~ciel- Pieces (sometimes I try Honey or Driver's High)
Dir en Grey- Ain't afraid to die
Pierrot- Dramatic Neo Anniversary
 
This thread is giving me a lot of ideas for other songs I should be able to try next time I go!

Yes, it IS a sequel to "Saishuu densha".

I'm happy Mejibray is taking a break. I really agree with the fact that they haven't really put out anything too great for awhile now and it could do their music wonders. Think about the Gazette. Whether you hated or love their Dogma project, it was a HUGE refreshment from what they were putting out prior. That almost 2 year gap between releases helped them tremendously. 
 
 
----- that's all I have to say  opinion wise on the matter. If you want to continue reading after this, I just jumped into the most recent debate for a quick spell. Nothing serious. ----
 
To say that the opinion of a fan who buys their products, but doesn't see their lives is unimportant is wrong though. Whether buying their ticket and seeing them live or buying their stuff, that money IS what keeps the band going.  I don't think the band really would care if 5 people didn't show up to a show, but 5 people bought their DVD, CDs, posters, etc. at the same value as the ticket.  Also, some people aren't able to make it out to a show (small venue, tickes sold out. Work schedule conflicts, etc, etc) or can't even get to be in Japan to see these bands. Their opinion might not matter to you, but it does matter. But I'm sure you've seen EVERY band live before you decided to criticize them or like them, right?
 
 
I agree with this statement, except the studio album part. With the technology available to sound engineers, you can take someone who sounds as nasally and flat as Sakito (ex. Duel e Quartz) and make him sound as godly as Asagi from D. You can take anything from the "CRAPPY songs to cure people from rare indies bands obsession" thread and make it sound like L'arc en CIel or Dir en Grey gold. It has no indicate of the skill.
 
In conclusion, all of your opinions are valid to a degree because that is what keeps the band alive. Buying tickets, buying products, and SPREADING THE WORD about the band whether good or band KEEPS THE BAND ALIVE because it all leads to monetary value for the band to continue.
 
Sorry to go on and on and on. lol.
 

Can we all acknowledge that flying out to Japan to see Mejibray live in order to give a "credible" opinion is rather absurd?
 
"I don't like this band."
 
"But you didn't see them live."
 
"OF COURSE I DIDNT! THEY PLAY IN VENUES THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE! WTF?!"
