Chopped the hell out of my bangs and waxed part of my manry brows away. Today was a good day. (no it wasn't)

Well, this sucks. Definitely not surprising at all, but seeing as they're still one of my favorites in the scene...

Kokusyoku sumire collaborating with B-T? Really interesting, indeed. Not something I would expect at all, but nevertheless excited.

YESSEYYESYEYSSYFFYESS MY LIFE IS COMPLETE NOTHING WILL MAKE ME SAD ANYMORE

Welcome to the forums! Have lots of fun

I've always loved this PV, and while it is pretty self-explanatory, it still comes off as a bit strange. Has a bit of a strong radical/feminist vibe to it, I'd say. (The name of the song basically translates to "girl's war" afterall..." Just my opinion though. I'm sure it doesn't come off as strange to many ;o; Also, strangely enough, I was going to link the Gusya Ningen video above, but it seems someone already beat me to it! o:

Hello, and welcome here! Nice to see you made an introduction post finally ;o;

Oh, nice. Just hope I can actually hear them, haha ;o;

Hello, and welcome here. Make sure to have lots of fun and visit chat sometime ;o;

My brother got me started on the scene as a whole at a young age, introducing me to X Japan, loudness, and even bands like The Piass and Werkmare. I guess since then...my interest for it grew immensely. Of course anime influenced it a lot too, which around that time, I started getting into bands such as Nightmare, Alice Nine, The Gazette etc.. To this day, I'm still not even sure how I got into angura and nagoya bands. It's been about 4 years now since I've been interested in it, at least. It's all probably due to me just clicking around on various youtube suggestions. I'm pretty sure it started out with me finding Codomo A, and what not, and then it grew from there. To be honest, I wouldn't even say I'm apart of the "fandom" (assuming that being in the fandom usually means you actually contribute to it). I just enjoy the music, that's all.

My eyebrow game was really strong today so have this vile image of my face.

This is actually pretty cool. Sounds like it'd be a fun live ;_;

Ooh, I love Aicle and Sandwich de 120 pun~ Do you like any other eiji projects? Welcome here, and have lots of fun btw Feel free to come to chat sometimes

Number one for me would probably have to be Arimura Ryutaro. I adore the child-like vibe his voice gives off when he sings. It's very much fitting to the type of music Plastic Tree play, and it's rather distinctive as well. Number two would be Atsushi Sakurai because I mean....it's Atsushi. You can't not love his voice, haha ;_; His vocal range is amazing. Sensual, passionate, etc..all that good stuff. Even after all these years, his singing capabilities still astound me every time. Number three...I guess Shuuji Ishii could go in that spot. His voice is quirky, yet smooth. Very fitting to all of his projects. Needless to say, he has a great sense of style to go along with all of his great singing qualities. Honorable mentions include, Yu-dai from SEX-ANDROID, and eiji from codomo A/sanpun/etc etc...They both have great voices. Not to mention, unique as well. Especially Yu-dai. I haven't been too fond of his more raspy vocals here lately, but when he's not doing that, his voice is really melodic and I love it.

ahh, I love it The PV is typical, of course, but I really like the track. (chro looks so amazing, as always)

Can't say I ever got into them, but still saddening to see yet another band go.

Considering my Japanese skills are fairly poor, I tend not to pay very much attention to lyrics. However, if I do happen to notice that a certain song has lyrics that appeal to the emotions, that surely makes it even better, of course. All in all, I still don't believe that lyrics make or break a song in this case, because while I'm sure many songs have god-awful lyrics, the music in itself is still solid and is the main thing that matters to me. Also, I couldn't agree more with this ;_; :

Hello, and welcome here! I'm a big fan of Kuroyume, and Malice Mizer too, so it's nice to see yet another person around here with similar tastes. Might I also add that it's quite impressive that you've been involved in the scene for this long, longer than I've been alive :'D Feel free to visit the chat sometime~

Ah, nice. Wish it wasn't only live-sold though.

Everyone's looking good as usual~!

1: Do you buy multiple versions of releases, or buy at all? Being a jobless teenager sure has it's downsides, so at the moment I buy nothing. As for buying in the future, I highly doubt I'd buy multiple versions. I guess it also depends on the artist, though, but most releases are way too expensive for me to do that. 2: Do you collect cheki or other non-music related items from bands? Not as of yet, but I'd like to have band t-shirts in the future. Collecting picks and drumsticks is also that something interests me, but I think cheki is rather pointless. I might collect a few chekis of my favorite artists, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them all the time. 3: Follow them on Ameblo, Twitter? I don't have an ameblo, but I like to check certain artists blogs sometimes. Mainly just for the purpose of looking at some cute pictures of theirs. I follow most of my favorite artists on twitter, simply because I like to read the little bits of information they post. It's a lot better than trying to read through a long blog post on ameblo. 4: Would you follow them on the street? I might ask for an autograph, if the time seemed right, but as for following them around...no. I thought that was harassment anyway ;_; They deserve to be able to walk through the street without being bombarded by fans. 5: Dig through their trash? I didn't even know people did this. Uh, not something I'd do. 6: Does Visual Kei or other forms of your musical taste influence your style or personal life? I mean, I studied Japanese for a few years because of Visual Kei making me interested in it. It has of course, made me more interested in fashion, hair, and make up, but other than that...I wouldn't say it's "influenced" anything for me. 7: Desire to move or visit Japan influenced by music I'll admit that the idea of moving there is pretty tempting, but I highly doubt I'd be comfortable living there. I'd absolutely love to visit though, and hope to be able to do it one day. 8: Do you read dirt-sheets of bands, like rumours, gossip, etc...? Music is my main priority, of course, but when I need a good laugh I'll read them. 9: Ever fantasize about being friends with band members? Maybe not fantasize, but I think it'd be kind of neat to hang out with a band member here and there. I doubt I would actually go out of my way to be friends with one, though. It's just something that comes naturally. 10: Do you want to be in a Visual Kei band (or any other kind of band)? I would hate to be in an actual poppy-glitzy-sparkly visual band, but I would certainly love to be in some sort of shoegaze or post-punk unit, like G-SCHMITT or nookicky (or maybe even something gothy like velvet eden). Sadly enough, I'm not skilled enough in the instruments I play to do that, so I'll continue staying a fan.

ahh ahh ah ahhh Perfect. Schwarz Stein was the best thing ever, hopefully it will still be as great as it was before ;_;

*breathes heavily*

aww, so nice. (like always)
