Sweet jesus Maria how I've missed you.

Hey there.

I think I remember you.

Hey!

Yeah, I keep leaving and coming back. I'm like "well the new stuff can't be this bad..." and then it usually leads to "OH GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP?!"

I think now I just miss it too much. :c

Not to mention nearly all my favorite bands disbanded.* D:

I'm afraid you'll be largely unimpressed by todays VK (mejibray on a list of decent bands says lots about grade of the scene's stagnation), but baroque are back as of 2012.

haven't been a fan of their comeback material, but it's better than nothing.

lynch have been really strong recently - if you haven't listened their latest album, give it a try, it's awesome.

if you liked RES, grab sucksucky's solo projects singles and mini - but lower your expectations beforehand, it's a major step down from any RES era work, except for 3-4 songs (and one of the good ones is composed by Mika, their drummer, lowering Suck-chans potential a bit more.)

kaya, the true empress of dead and living, gay and straight, cosmic and earthly, is doing better than ever, but diehard fans may argue.

I have been unimpressed, that's partly the reason why I haven't been into it lately because I'm stuck in the earlier stuff and I keep comparing it to the new stuff. Sad life.

But I love Kaya! Looking forward to that, at least.

Oh well, in terms of what kind of type of VK/Jrock I liked...

The looks are an important part of the whole VK thing but lately I've been feeling like they're putting too much work into the appearance as opposed to the music. Partly the reason why I stopped listening.

Hello.

I am Riley. Hey I remember you and you! Its been years, I was big into TW in 08 when I actually was pretty crazy about VK and Jrock, but after a while I kind of got bored of it, and thus stopped posting and stuff.

But now I'm getting into it again, hopefully the music's changed for the better (ugh a lot of the bands from 10-11 were epic shit) so I'm just looking around for new stuff from bands I used to like.

Things sure have changed though! Nice to meet all the people that have joined throughout the years.
