Lonely China day are worth the listen I think.
Glorious pharmacy 美好药店 are awesome as well, completely different style and vibe, kind of folk-ish.
As to pop music...Eason Chan, YiDa Huang, a teeeny bit of Aaron Yan and 东城卫, maybe 苏打绿 as well as my personal favourite Leslie (张国荣）. -
Man, is this for real? Because I am a fan when it comes to that era they did stuff (which coincidentally finished before I was born...I think). However, these last few years it's been mostly smokescreen stunts and promises. And quite possibly, money made from
exploiting/ catering to nostalgic fans.
Hopefully they will prove my scepticism wrong and everyone will get an awesome release. (Preferably something new) ^^ -

The last last thing I bought was 陳奕迅 - three vinyl ''best of"s.
The sound really is nice, I wish newer things were also available in this format. -

I'm sorry , this sounds terrible!
I am not exactly the epitome of a functioning adult, but I can try to give you some advice.
There should be laws protecting tenants, here it can be a bit tricky since a lot of people do it over the counter and rarely sign a lease. If your documentation's alright you should be able to stay in your place even with a little delay in payment\9 by no means exceeding 3 months). Getting a good flatmate is really hard, the only roommate I had was when I lived abroad, but - it's different in school (mine wasn't too nice).Don't trust random people, especially when it can lead you to a not so pleasant financial state.
When it comes to payment I tend to give myself a ''safety belt'' - the best thing is to have both tenants legally responsible, but in case you really can't do that, ask for the rent at least two weeks before it's due. This way you can avoid being put in a bad spot.
Food...I kind of disagree with surviving on the cheapest possible, because it can sometimes cause you health problems. However...in case you have a really tight budget, you can go by it for a limited time. Don't waste water and electricity/power. If you really need money asap and you don't want to bother your parents, you can put some items on ebay for example. It's hard to part with a favourite CD, but food is kind of important as well.
I hope you resolve your issue, at the moment I can't imagine not spending my parents' money...and that is terrifying. O.O -
"You're viewing the beta" Can I please not view the beta version? Is there a way back, guys? It is dreadful and distracting.

Believe it or not, like the British flag. (same pattern at least)

I want to share a lot on this topic, but I'll avoid saying something everyone here already knows ( Tchaikovsky is amazing, Bach's raw power, my sentimental attachment to Schumann and Chopin).
Barenboim in my opinion does really good job playing Beethoven, as to Chopin my favourite is probably Martha Argerich. -

In all honesty, most bands don't even need parody names
The original names are as funny as that. (I mean - Cocklobin? D? Sex virgin killer??? )Kamijo - Mojojo
Mucc- F**k
Mana (Mana, Gackt) Llama llama duck
Vamps - Tramps
Ah,, also : DOGin the poo (I kind of read it like this the first time I saw the band name and unfortunately it stayed that way)

Nope, but it seems a bit of a waste. You'll probably read them someday.
Let's see, I usually act pretty calm, but I tend to stress over unimportant things.

I can't say that agree with your opinion, but I can't deny that I don't even try to keep up with Jupiter's activities. To me, Versailles kind of lost it's magic even before the split, there was something missing. I do agree that Jupiter is still counting on Versailles' influence and name in many ways. Yet they are not Versailles.
Kamijo's solo on the other hand - I wouldn't use the word "boring", but it really doesn't leave me with a lasting impression. ( And I've been "on board" since Lareine, New Sodmy, the less Fancy Lareine... )
What I liked about Versailles was their unique way of finding the perfect balance in their sound. The band had the skills, the technique, and Kamijo was the motor power, the spark. Versailles is not either Jupiter, nor Kamijo. I guess what both parties need to do is to find their own sound and (unfortunately) to drift further away from the past. Which doesn't mean I won't love to see them together on stage again.
And Zin really isn't a bad singer, he just can't fill in for Kamijo. And he really shouldn't.

One or two things: it must be me, since the songs most of you pointed out as good (hence, I had certain expectations) just don't do the trick.
I'm listening at the moment, so I will be brief. In random order:
Hallelujah: on first listen it doesn't lack anything - strong vibe,nice vocal parts for Tatsurou, screaming for whoever's into it, catchy chorus, guitars...However it's not something that I'd remember 5 minutes after listening. Good for BGM.
Halo - started off somewhat messy, but it got better. Overall, good track.
Japanese: I really liked that one, but I think I've heard only a live version, so the emotional performance might have balanced out other small weaknesses.
死んでほしい人 - This one I need to listen few times more, I'm undecided whether I like it, or it scores ''average''.
The end of the world - pleasant surprise, the rhythm reminds me of something else, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe a tad cheesy, but I'm perfectly fine with it.
I think I need more time with the rest of the album.
So far I'm not impressed, since MUCC definitely have had better releases in the past. On the other hand, the past is in the past, I can't expect them not to change over time. Nostalgia aside, "The end of the world" is not a bad album - it's not mind blowing, shiver- inducing either, so maybe a solid 7/10 for me. -
Do you know who are the musicians he worked with on this release?

Rentrer en soi

Someone who made me a bit upset, probably completely clueless about it
Do you prefer dealing with straightforward (and possibly rude people) or diplomatic, yet somewhat hard to understand people? -
Buck-Tick, I believe.
Though I can never say for sure things like ''My favourite movie is/ My favourite artist...'' I usually fall in love with a band's sound and for some time I listen to them on a daily basis. Once passed that stage, if I keep listening to their stuff, it means that I really like them.
With Buck-Tick it's pretty consistent, I never '''fell out of love''.
Few years back I'd have said hide.
Could you name three things you cannot not have with you? (The question could be taken both literally and metaphorically) -
''Ashamed'' is a bit strong. I don't really block content from last.fm, because oh well, that's my taste, I couldn't care less what others might think. However...there are artists that I myself find lacking in sooooo many ways, yet I listen to their music....you could say they are my bubblegum guilty pleasure songs.
On the musical note, do you (whoever you might be xD) and your best friend have similar taste in music? And if yes, does that bring you together? -
Comfortable. I don't like the ones that look like earplugs, but that's what I'm using the most, because they are easier to carry around.
What was that rumor/ tanuki thing question, I really didn't get it -
I do speak (some) Chinese, but I don't think it's a skill...so I'd say, I'd want to know martial arts, like wushu. Why? Because to put it simply, it's everything I'm not, it'd be a good skill to have. xD
Do you want to move elsewhere and live abroad? If yes, why? (If the answer is negative, once again, why?) -
At the moment? None :/
Is there something you're planning on learning, or you've always wanted to learn how to do? (ex. Ride a bike, cook, speak swahili...
) -
They are so good! ^^
Thanks for sharing.

Violence. (I am excluding sports because it's not supposed to be form of aggression.) Insulting others and any form of intentional verbal aggression as well.
