I just purchased a different live dist. lol

Oh? You don't say? 

I thought I was the only one as OCD as this with CDs.

"Vk is like literally THE ONLY thing i spend money on during that timeperiod... like i don't buy any DVDs, Manga, Video Games,...."  

@VkBrutaliaN, are you me?

@Komorebioh you are of the same kind huh?!^^

That sounds horrible. I swear, iTunes/Music gets progressively worse with every release. The new UI is a downgrade, and I have mega issues uploading songs to my phone, ugh.

They think they're making it easier to integrate things to your iphone, but honestly it seems to be getting worse and worse with every "update."

Thanks a lot!

I'm ordering everything haha. 

Mods have removed it entirely after I reported it as a transcode

Good question ... especially since they went out of their way to make us think it was their proper rip in 320. It's all for that sweet sweet internet karma.

I'm so sorry guys, I tried my best to find a proper 320 kbps.

I'm sorry, some people are the worst.

that first single was so fucking good, i want more 

thank yoooooooooouuuuu!!! ♥

Thank you

I only paid $3 lol on auction. And yeah  I think "Daisuki" and "ARBITER" are their best releases. So glad I got this.

Good! It's a great addition to your collection, especially for that price!

CAT5 put it way more eloquently than I can, but I agree...I don't ever understand the point of 'trying' to make things work by forcing square pegs into round holes for the rest of your life in misery missing out on what you really wanted.
To me, someone must love an equal amount that I do them, and if it was socially acceptable I'd definitely be one of those people that just delivers a written list of things that are most important / non-negotiable to me up front and want to know the same of them, because why not? Shouldn't utmost honesty be the foundation of being bound with another person. Idealistic, whatever, but you should never compromise your own ideals, it'll only rot away whatever love you had initially until it's an empty shell and the partnership becomes just one more disaster you can see in public (or at dysfunctional holidays) every day.

While it's tempting to want to please the person you love above yourself, I don't recommend it, especially not for something you hold so seriously.
This is from someone who cannot care less for institutional marriage, only for the practice of being bonded together that transcends state. Which seems to be very important to you, and at three years...it really isn't that long, there are many many more people out there who holds your ideals as seriously as you do. Good luck

I'm sorry to hear that mate. I totally feel you. However, I honestly think you shouldnt force your way of thinking to your gf. The idea of marriage should come from 2 parties.

I know it's a harsh truth, but rn you have 2 options:

1. Stop right away before it hurts you more later in the future.

2. Keep going dont give up if you think she's worth fighting for.

Nobody else here or in the world can decide those options for you. You are the one who comprehends the whole situation and your own feeling. So take a breather, give yourself time to re-think everything and then make a decision. Insert image from URL

Hope for the best, mate.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write all that down for me CAT. It's definitely what I needed to hear and now I have a lot of thinking to do. I woke up to a message from her saying how she loved me and can't imagine her life without me, but is afraid of getting married and having kids because once you do that you don't have an escape (I'm paraphrasing). I still am a bit in the dark at how she feels as she hasn't been able to really explain herself clearly, but we plan on having a sit-down conversation about it all tomorrow. I'm going to explain myself better and say that if she has any doubts on whether she wants to spend the rest of her life with me, then she should maybe spend some time without me to think it over. It's not like I proper proposed to her, this was just the conversation before I should really start planning my life around that, but I was thinking about proposing soon (this year) and now it's all thrown out of whack.

Maybe I put too much thought and effort and weight into this relationship, and that's partially my fault, as I've really only had her on my mind in regards to our future. I wasn't think about bettering myself or even where I would want to be in my life in the future. I just knew that I wanted her to be a part of it.

Thank you again, all, for your kind (and sometimes harsh, but definitely needed) words. This situation is still raw and still new and all still shaky. But I feel better about it all now than I did before. Nervous, but better.

I second this, imho best newcomers of the year

Haha, yeah.They're certainly reppin' the DOGMA vibes!

And I'll let you know if I find RED SORROW, but I'm not expecting too much.

In which shop did you bought it ?

ZEALLINK carries both types.

I'm sorry. I wish you the luck to find a new job soon. 😟

Of course! I totally understand! Sorry, I’ve had some friends slapped with that before, and I saw how much it got to them. But they got to Japan their own way. Things might be bleak now (and feel free to mourn), but things also have a way of working out and I hope they do the same for you.

There are plenty of other jobs out there besides JET. Like frayed said you can check out Gaijinpot as well as Jobs in Japan, Ohayo sensei, etc. Don't give up! Right now is actually prime job hunting season since the fiscal year starts in April in Japan.

If you're looking for an ALT job, try an ALT placement company, like Interac - https://www.interacnetwork.com/recruit/

As said above, now is just the right time to apply.

Holy cow, this sucks. Well, wait some years and sell them at overpriced values as relic$

$200?!

Yeah, they were $90 for GA floor tickets, plus fees. So two tickets cost me about $220 ...

I kinda want to do some of the tourist-y stuff. I want to go to Akiba, but the person I'm visiting isn't into that sort of thing, so I think I'll probably go alone. I'm looking forward to eating all the foods I miss! Okonomiyaki, omurice, gyudon, that sort of thing. I didn't know about the metropolitan building, though. Maybe I'll do that instead of Skytree or Tokyo Tower. I also want to go to Gundam Base, but I just feel bad because she isn't interested in a lot of the things I want to do and I don't want to make her feel bad.

Sorry ... I'm probably saying too much. Haha!

Nah, don't apologize. 

I've traveled alone and accompanied and both have pros and cons. 

I suggest you plan stuff together like certain trips and meals, but also give yourselves time to enjoy your own interests on your own. Splitting during a trip isn't bad at all and it can be even for best sometimes. It's easy to get into each other's nerves when traveling with someone.

Get a couple of cheap prepaid simcards so you can stay in touch when splitting and don't be afraid to enjoy a few hours on your own

She's got work during the days on the first week, so I'll have all that time to myself. I'm hoping to get all the nerdy stuff I want to do out of the way while she's working and then we'll have the evenings/nights together and then on the second week, we'll be together the whole time. She's okay with going to some lives (she just thinks the music I listen to is noisy) so that'll be fine.

I'm going to try ask her to get a SIM card for myself for the two weeks (she lives in Tokyo) while I'm there, but don't know if I should go SIM or pocket wifi, since the last phone I had wouldn't take the SIM card and I was boned. I've got a while to go before I go over, so I'm planning as much as I can in advance.
