@itsukoiiHell yeah! Schmelz Cure are such a guilty pleasure of mine and they have a few rippin' tracks.
@helcchi+1 for Horizon having an incredible riff.
@r...That Phobia song is one of the first riffs I thought of for this thread, excellent choices.
 
Here's one of my fave riffs by a nobody VK band:
 
 

I honestly thought that Kyon would be joining them since she mysteriously reappeared recently and even tweeted a photo of her and MARY RUE's members. To be fair though, their current drummer is only a support member, so there's a chance she could join them later?

Female band MARY RUE (fka MARY☆RUE (1994-1997/1999?)) will restart activities at their live on October 8.

These are some of my favorite old bands too lol I don't find many +sadist+/Parasite fans too often haha It's a shame that Parasite had only this song, I really like the piano intro.

Yep, there's already one on here: 
I used to listen a lot their debut album, and I'm still not over Rami's departure because I loved her vocals but shit happens I guess. It's been ages since the last time I listened a single song from the girls so I might as well catch up one of these days. And to me it's simple; if they don't identify themselves as VK then they're not VK. You'd say it's an easy argument but I'm not the type of person to dig into the details in order to tag bands like this or that (I suck at it). 

what sort of gackt crying-in-the-rain nonsense

It's nice to see you around again!  

 

so, I really hate introductions but oh well here we go...

I've been into vk/ japanese rock for like 11 years now and thanks to that I've been able to meet some very nice people! I couldn't list my favorite bands or anything because there's so much stuff I love it but some very special bands for me are deadman, Vasalla, S, Malice Mizer and Madeth gray'll. But I listen to all kinds of music really, apart from the japanese stuff I like metal, some ambient music, lots of soundtracks from movies and games like Silent Hill, and I also love romantic classical music, you know, guys like Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Paganini, Chopin and the list goes on... I also like jazz/fusion and guitar-oriented instrumental music a lot but I guess this isn't really the place to talk about that. lol Anyway, nice to meet you all.

They were pretty dull until Rin joined imo. He brought a bit more 'oomph' to their music with his Hizaki-stanning guitar masturbation. Then they released like 3 good singles and ran their course. But yeah, they should just disband already because giving your fans an ultimatum like that is embarrassing.

tbh that malice mizer cover should have been the last nail in their coffin.
 
The stuff they put out when they were just about to / just after signing to Starwave were A+ (remember when they gave out free songs via email????), but more recent material is just uninteresting.

Lose some weight
Be a better person
Actually care about people
 
Who am I fucking kidding? lol I don't need to do any of that shit
 
I guess I can take up learning to use a fountain pen.
I like those things.
 
 

OH NO

Lurker crisis
 
Watch how all the VK UPLOADS ~DEMON ANDROID~ blogspots and facebooks suddenly stop updating their pages.

If the topic was "bad things" i could list a ton.
 
Something good today... i got a free ice cream! ;p

A bit late...! But oh well.
 
Hi! DEZERT are acceptable. ;p
 
 

*drum rolls*
 
@The Reverend 

 
for his ingenious cosplay of Pitty from Morrigan!!
We will be contacting you via PM soon about your prizes.
Thanks so much for entering! 

 
Voting was unnecessary this year since we only received the single entry.
But we're still stoked anyone joined in while we tried something new so thanks a lot for giving it a shot @The Reverend. You've made MH history!

OH. ;o
Hmm, Trombe served his role well with bands nobody cares about and did his time. So it will be a bit... weird that he's gone for good. There was never any guarantee that he was going to post... "forever" of course. I don't know him personally or what exactly happened though.
 
A few people seem to be keen to help out in the news section, so i guess there will be new Trombe clones. 

boiii you just got dunked on. you gonna sit there and take it?

As if any of us who have been here for like 5-8+ years would be able to leave now. 
 
See you in two weeks trombe!

@Original Saku you won't hear me disagreeing. Pokemon Go is NOT a good game mechanically. It's pretty much a giant skinner box. But I would argue that the fun isn't found purely in the addictive nature of the game, but in the social aspect. If you don't want to get up, walk around, and meet people, you aren't going to have fun. I have spent more time talking to random people walking around in my town in the past few days than I have in the previous year. Passing by all these people enjoying doing this same silly thing? I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me a little giddy.
 
I also feel part of the joy of this game is that evokes a huge childhood nostalgia in playing video games. I'm not talking about because it is gen 1 pokemon, but more the wonder of it all. The game hasn't been data mined yet and we are all still guessing at the inner workings of the game - there isn't some great site where we can all google things yet and there is a lot of talking between people on where to find certain pokemon. I know this isn't something unique to pokemon go and applies to other multiple player games at launch, but man, I am just loving it.
