  1. Doku is going to have a "serious announcement" tomorrow. I'm hoping it's a new single because I really need more music from them and NOTHING ELSE! Please don't breakup.

      that first single was so fucking good, i want more 

  2. I'm afraid Kanta is going to leave DEVILOOF after a tweet like this ...

     

  3. Time to glued to twitter to see if the bands I want to see will be in Tokyo while I'm there. I'm wondering if a trip to Nagoya will be worth it to see JILUKA, DEXCORE, and Develop One's Faculties play together. They're on my list for sure, but I don't know if it's worth the trip for the short set lists they'll put on.

      It's a long trip and expensive if I take the shinkansen, so maybe I'll make it an overnight trip. Hmmm. I don't really know what's in Nagoya, but it's time to look!

      Nagoya is about halfway  between Osaka and Tokyo. And the nightbus is probably around $30-$40

      I brought it up with my partner and she said there's nothing she has interest in seeing in Nagoya. So maybe not. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some sweet lineups for New Years lives.

  4. I need to figure out how to order a ticket for Ricko's birthday live ... My Japanese reading comprehension isn't that good.

    1. Komorebi

      I don't think JILUKA sells out their onemans...  but I ca ask around just in case. It's so great that you get to go.

    2. patientZERO

      Based on the pictures of Youtsuya LOTUS, that place is tiny. And I thought Amemura DROP was small. Thanks for asking around, too!

      Birthday onemas are apparently always in tiny venues 🤔 If it does sell out gya will be selling tickets on twitter anyway lol

  5. One Cut of the Dead was not quite what I thought it would be, but holy hell was it great!

      Same here! I didn't know what to expect, but I was blown away, haha. :D

      My girlfriend saw it when it was in theaters and told me I needed to see it, but I didn't think I had to wait two years until it came to the States. After the first  third or so, I was thinking "why are people gushing about this?" And then it just got better and better. Haha!

  6. Is KEEL even a band anymore? They've been silent for close to a year now ...

    1. Tokage

      Tokage

      aie's been touring & recording with gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy over the first half of the year and there's the whole deadman revival thing going on too so maybe he's just too busy to juggle everything.

      justice for KEEL

  7. BABYMETAL was a ton of fun last night. The fans are generally super chill and the opener was surprisingly entertaining. All in all, a great day.

  8. I just realized JILUKA is playing a 2man with Breakin' Holiday in Shinjuku the day I arrive in Japan ... but my plane lands a half hour after the show starts ... FML.

      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!

    3. Komorebi

      Komorebi

      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.

  9. Why isn't Dexcore's new single up on iTunes yet?!?

  10. It's days like today that I wonder why I even try ... I just got home from work and sat and stared at the wall for an hour begging myself to not cry ...

  11. I just realized I can't go to the BABYMETAL show in LA, but I've got tickets ... and nobody wants to buy them. Looks like I'm out $200.

    1. IGM_Oficial

      IGM_Oficial

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

      patientZERO

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

  12. I have been blasting どく into my ear holes all day today at work. I'm hoping this band stays around, because I seriously dig them.

    1. Nighttime Jae

      Nighttime Jae

      I second this, imho best newcomers of the year

  13. I just got tickets for Crystal Lake's first US tour. I'm contemplating going to at least one other show, but I'm also moving around that time and not sure what my financial situation will be. But fuck it. I'm stoked for now!

  14. All of the censoring in the DADAROMA Live DVD is laughable. Damn are they good live, but why censor every little thing in YOUR OWN RELEASE?

  15. SARIGIA sent out two links via LINE for their last to songs they posted on YouTube, but the download links don't seem to work for me. Maybe I have to be in Japan?

    1. patientZERO

      patientZERO

      Yeah, they posted on their twitter that they'd post working links at a later date.

    2. Shmilly

      Shmilly

      I wonder if they'd be kind enough as an apology to share all of the old songs again too...

    3. patientZERO

      patientZERO

      That'd be good. I know I got two of the three that they posted before, but missed the first one (I don't remember the title).

  16. I think someone has stolen my identity or all record checks think I have a different name and live in New Jersey as a felon.

      I think it might be time to start talking to a lawyer my friend.

      So, it turns out the company that ran the background check just checked any known aliases for my name (I have a really plain and common first and last name). Nothing is tied to my social security number, luckily. It was just a company not giving a fuck and casting a wide net.

  17. I talked to the recruiter today about my questions about the job she pitched me and I ultimately filled and she pretty much called me ungrateful and said I should be glad I got any position with my resume ...

    1. Mamo

      Mamo

      Fuck her bro.

    2. patientZERO

      patientZERO

      @MamoNow I don't know if I'm going to go to work on Monday and get the boot. Ultimately, it wouldn't be a huge loss since I don't see myself working there long-term, but it was nice to have a relatively easy job to provide income will I look for a more permanent position. 

    3. Mamo

      Mamo

      I see well at least if that does happen it's not huge loss as you said. I wish the best for you in the future in that regard.

  18. Holy shit dude, 大好き is great! There's a copy on Mercari for 4,500Y. Please tell me you didn't have to pay damn near $50 for it. It honestly might be their best song they've released in ages. The breakdown got me DROPPING!

    1. Mamo

      Mamo

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

    2. patientZERO

      patientZERO

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

      Oh? You don't say? :tw_glasses:

  21. I have an interview at a temp agency on Monday, but after losing so much weight, my dress pants fit like miniature skirts for each leg. That's not a good look for a dude, so it looks like I need to get some new pants.

     

    Ugh. I hate shopping for clothing.

     

    On a positive note, I put all my JILUKA and DEVILOOF CDs in protective sleeves and I love the uniformity of them all. And now they can be displayed with their obi (though DEVILOOF's obi look like poo).

  22. I would do naughty things for a copy of mamireta's ojamashimasu. I've had it stuck in my head all damn day. Luckily I'm a loner or people around me would get pissed of hearing me knocking on everything and saying "ojamashimasu."

      @platyDepending on where you got tabetai, they gave out live DVDs of one song as shop bonuses. I'm kicking myself for not picking that up.

      Don't know if you already do so, but I'd advise you to check out mercari as well: https://www.mercari.com/jp/search/?keyword=まみれた+お邪魔します

  23. I just decided to get SARIGIA's single, so I'll have them around Valentine's Day. I'm hoping these dudes continue to put out the same Gazette-ish sound because I'm digging it.

    1. patientZERO

      patientZERO

      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.

  24. The hinge clip on my Beats broke and it's ~$65 to $99 to fix. Ugh.

    1. Mamo

      Mamo

      Yeah I know what you mean.

    2. platy

      Fuckkk that's just ridiculous. 

    3. patientZERO

      patientZERO

      I know, right?! It's because the wire is threaded through the hinge clip, so you need to pretty much open up the whole headset and solder the wire off the earphone and back on when you replace the clip. It makes sense for portability and it makes it sturdier, but holy hell is it expensive.
