I used to do this a lot: tell someone to listen to a song without any visuals and then get their impression of the music. It worked all the time with my brother, regardless of the fact that neither of us could understand what was being said. If lyrics are a big issue for people listening to music, then I don't think they care that much about the music.

I hope they only play George Michael covers.

NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST and DEZERT!! HELL YEAH!

You mean there's bands that have a similar look in the VK genre? Blasphemy! 

You're entirely entitled to your own opinion, so don't think that it has less credit because you differ in opinion! Personally, though, I dislike when a band has a guitar solo on every song. It's becoming the norm in a lot of bands, but I feel like it kind of lessens the effect of each solo. For instance, Nokubura is one of my favorite bands, but pretty every song gives Cazqui a wank session. Again, I'm not saying it's bad, but I feel like just like you said there's a balance of tones, solos need to be balanced as well. 

Really? I think すてきな唄。 is my favorite song by them! Mei's face-shaking growl/scream thing is phenomenal, although you can hear an audible drop in recording quality in their later releases.

I've always thought of making a compilation of common sets in VK! There's always that church that is in PVs. Nokubura shot their PV for DESPERATE there and I think Phantasmagoria and DELUHI among many other bands have PVs there.
 
This isn't very uncommon in any genre of music, though, especially VK. The colors look similar, but I think you may just be reaching a bit because they're so close together. Their outfits look different, the camera angle is different and sure, both vocalists have a leg up, but again this isn't an uncommon pose. Just look at the amount of vocalists who did the whole "hand over mouth" pose in the early 2000s.

It's the same cesspool it always has been, we just now know more details and can follow all the dramas, thanks to social media.

From the bathroom to the kitchen! Kuroyuri to Kage, keep it coming!

first they stole lycaon's wardrobe (slightly tattered, parts missing)
 
 
next they stole lycaon's rejected demos from shimizuya's backalley garbage dumpster
 
 
at this rate the only thing they yet have to steal is bl*ckdoll's heart

@platanityand @cvlticexplained perfectly well why they can't play without Akinori.  Understandably, it seems as if many forget that Lynch. is NO LONGER an indies band and Akinori is an OFFICIAL member, NOT a support bassist like before in their earlier years.  Akinori is visible in a lot of their recent PV's, is in promo pics with the band, and ON top of that during the MC's on their last two major lives, he's actually talked to the crowd alongside Hazuki and co. In the public eye, both fans in Japan and overseas see him in the same light as the other members. These are solid reasons alongside the others (that we do and don't know of) behind the band going on hiatus. Its not an issue of "hey they can just do XYZ" in the meantime. 
 
Guys it is NOT that simple. 
 

All of this is assumption and there's not a whole lot we can do as fans other than continue to support their decisions to do things respectfully. This will hopefully all boil over in time.

Apathetic flogging is alright

Are those chicken nuggets ...?

everyone is blacker with a blunt in hand

But isn't that a good thing? Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is Jim Carrey's last superp performance, and not even in his wildest dreams will Neil Patrick Harris be close to doing something as good as that. And by going with a different Count Olaf you'll get something way different, rather than a remake of a good film. It's an excellent choice IMO! And you have to remember that Count Olaf was a humorless villain in the books. He was the opposite of Jim Carrey's version in the film.
 
But as far as I know, A Series of Unfortunate Events will be much closer to the novels with its dark, dramatic mystery-approach, rather than the dark comedy of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. I think this sounds good. It's got massive potential and I am really looking forward to it.

It definitely was a date. And things went well ... but I'm also leaving the country soon.

Damn, I was digging their first release, but this sample is really weak. The vocalist sounds like he's not even trying. His voice just isn't projected enough and those growls ... gross.
