am I the only one who gets spam via PM on here? :< i'ts kind of annoying ...

Anyone here in Tokyo from early to mid December? Would be fun to meet up with some MH ppl! (And attend shows together if someone would be up for that). 

I just got to meet Yoshiki for a Q&A session and shake his hand. Sadly I wasn't allowed to ask my question about the new album though.

My nephew is now "into visual kei" because this girl he likes is into it.  I'm thinking in my head "oh god, no" as I'm afraid what's going to happen with my CDs later today as he want to come over after school...or he's going to judge me to hell and back on my taste of VK.

Still waiting for the day a "Hizumi to reunite with D'espairsRay" newspops up here  

HOLY SHIT LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 

Random global freeleech on JPS!! Enjoy people!!

I dreamt that instead of releasing a new album, Dir en grey decided to release a series of one-track singles. One of the tracks was some sort of slow, brooding ballad w/ oriental vibes, but for the other ones they decided to adapt some sort of super trashy semi-pu.nk aesthetic & go for a sound that was like Jessica w/ harsh vocals thrown into the mix occasionally lmao

in the light of that pura cover album,

what is your reference point for disgustingly offensive Japanese covers?

I'll start with this gem:

Which vkei bands are the most popular now in the overseas VKEI world?

The Gazette

DEZERT

XAA-XAA

KIZU

MEIJBRAY

DIR EN GREY ?? <- or can they be kicked off by new comers?

ALICE NINE (A9) even tho I believe the hype is over?

NIGHTMARE <- maybe they can be kicked off the list? XD

DIMLIM

リベリオ

Avalchain Karma ? 

ヴァージュ

I need 10~15 names.

So any suggestions?

I wonder to put NightingeiL on the list? they restarted, where loved. Cell was also nice loved.

ok but who the fuck were even signed to that old misshitsu neurose label other than cali gari and (iirc) mucc back in the day???

for those interested in taking ur dedication to mh to the next level we have something coming for you soon

DISH x emmuree x マルコ tonight. DISH and emmuree were excellent like always, now waiting on マルコ . Never heard them before so going into this blind. Interesting. 

So tonight's MUCC live felt for the first time like a real rock concert. Idk how to explain it? It was in a tiny club, they were cosplaying themselves from 18 years ago but it didn't have that... v-kei pretentiousness? Which I usually dig, don't get me wrong. But this was a lot more like a 'western' rock concert at a local shitty run-down club, where the toilets are full of posters to hide the peeling walls. I never thought I would get to see them like that, and even when I got the ticket I still didn't think it would feel authentic. But it did. 

Setlist from Twitter this time because I'm busy healing my soul and my shoulders (my punishment for being that tall gaijin standing up front is obviously to lift all the short girls when they wanna crowdsurf):

Was there any vk travel in Japan help thread on here? I'm completely inept about finding shows and about how to exactly cop tickets and all that other nonsense I'm desperate in need of help with. 

I listen to a lot of bands but these days I'm ok with only these 3 Diru songs: Un Deux, 鱗 and 業 <3

I'm bored so I typed "UnsraW" into the search and ... I'm surprised that there are actually so many people that like them. I really never met someone who loves them as much as I do. I never thought that there are so many fans ... I feel stupid now :< I wish I would have known earlier

Even though the remake of Kiri to Mayu has grown on me, I still think Diru shouldn't have replaced the original. At least still preform the alternate version, Sangeki no York. Just something please to keep us old fans stimulated

Headed to Helsinki for MH meetup with my man @Disposable and the awesome @hyura and various other great people. Hope to see all you finns tomorrow!

Happy birthday, man!

Happy b-day! See you next week!  

in san fran all week. if you see a sick, homeless looking dude next to a bunch of preppy white scientists outside a hilton hotel, that's probs me

I've been an MH member for a decade, but where is the DL section!!?
