tbh i haven’t encountered any vk extremists.  i have encountered vk fans that were off-putting for other reasons?  but most of them seem to be p chill in my experiences.  i’ve encountered the most extremists through kpop.  those kids are wild.

hey guys, so i’ve been interested in trading cheki for a while, but haven’t had the chance to really do it yet.  while i don’t really keep up with who’s who and from where, i dig collecting pictures of people (like photo cards or old polaroids of celebs, etc), so cheki seem kinda like a natural thing to gravitate towards.

overall, i’m interested in getting into cheki trades in general, and i’ll probably end up editing this list as i get more and have others to offer up.  i’ve added an area for bandmen i’m interested in getting cheki of, but i’m open to other trades if you’re interested in any of my offers!

seeking:

- subaru (royz)

i’ll send first, as i haven’t bought or traded on here before.  also i would prefer to keep it in america, unless you live somewhere that sending smth like this wouldn’t be too much money.  

mia (mejibray)

zen (avelcain)

kairi (pisarro? siva?)

these guys are dope.  one of the few vk bands my wife actually likes, too. 😂

hell yes, that’s what i’m talking about.  that album they released last year really got me into them.

Nah, I think the rest of them are cool. Way back in the day when Dir en grey played those three shows in a row in NY, a lot of people were camped out and the tour bus was basically directly beside the line. More than once, Die would be coming and going and never seemed to have a problem acknowledging the fans/occasionally chatting with them. Then the night before the last show when it was pouring rain on everyone, Kyo went around with their translator giving everyone hot tea.

i’m really glad to hear that.  also, it’s sort of comforting to know that it wasn’t smth personal and that he might just genuinely be an asshole, so thanks for sharing.  sometimes i take things personally, even if they weren’t.  maybe bc of this, ill be able to enjoy diru more now.  🖤

Tbh I like Dir en grey, but I’m not big on Shinya. He’s always read cold to me, and at first I thought maybe he was just shy or not a huge fan of meet and greets, which is whatever - but then we were both at the same party once,  and when I went to say I was a big fan of his band, he literally pretended I wasn’t even there. I mean straight up, I even did that awkward thing where I repeated myself because I wasn’t sure if he hadn’t heard me or not, lol. 

Ahh!!  I repeated myself too for the same reason lmao.  I guess maybe that’s just him??  Still p lame tho.

i wonder if the rest of Diru are chill or just jerks.  🤔

I saw a ghost once but then I realized I was just looking at myself from the mirror before I had gotten my morning coffee

I have a similar experience.  At the movie theatre, I didn’t realize I was standing by a mirror so when I looked over I saw myself and thought I was a very lame-looking ghost.

I saw Dir en grey in Portland in 2008.  I was so stoked to finally see them and they were my favorite band at the time.  The show was really mediocre though. Aside from the crowd being filled with a lot of hardcore weeb girls, the band themselves just didn’t seem that into it.  After the show, Shinya and Toshiya were signing and bc of where I had been standing, I miraculously ended up being first in line.  At the time, I’d never had a CD signed before aside from handouts at local shows in my hometown that came in paper cases and I didn’t realize that I had to unwrap the CD before they’d sign it.  The bouncer told me to go to the back of the line, so I very quickly scrambled to open the wrap.  I managed to do it p fast, and Toshiya was laughing a little bit.  Idk if he thought it was funny or if I was an idiot.  Shin ya didn’t seem at all interested in anything.  I tried to thank him for signing the CD, but he just looked away and snubbed me.  After that, I kinda stopped liking Diru.  It felt like the magic was gone.  Tbh I’ll listen to their new music, but I always feel like I’m just not into it now.

Yes, good.  I’m just getting into them, so a best album sounds perfect.

That guys voice, though...🙃

That lookout place next to the Golden Gate Bridge ft. Me.

Good shit.  I don’t play guitar (I play bass tho), but I still think it’ll be p dope to learn about what techniques he uses.

Oh shit!! I love Koda Kumi's songs ❤️❤️❤️ And she sounds like a very interesting character!! ouo I feel like, I could see your OC as a character in movies nowadays XD Her background kinda sounds like a main heroine's in a movie sdbicbjkdsnk I love bitch characters cuz I used to have this OC of mine and I always imagined her as this soft grill who's cutesy pastel life but then she's bff's with this strong woman and I'm like sbdabcjh sorry got carried away with telling about my own OC lolololol but from what I remember, that OC's FC was Masuwaka Tsubasa cuz she was super adorbs sndcfndsk but now I think I changed her FC to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu lol

Dude I love Kumi so much, I don’t even think there are words for it.  She’s def someone I look up to and have a lottt of respect for.   And no worries!  Hearing about other people’s OCs is nice, especially when someone really loves them.  🖤

Oh, dope.  Might have to pick up a couple of these.  I wonder if the vinyl discs will have cool designs or just be the standard black. 🤔

Will you ever come back to rp-ing? ;w; I kept telling myself back then (literally just a few days ago) that I'll stop rp-ing but, eventually I always come back to it lol I guess it's just too addictive in it's own way. 

 

And ohhhhh!! An OC! Was she vk inspired? I did love hearing about OC's before, they're getting rather popular nowadays with vk tumblr tho (since it's so smol now) others are just getting vk fc's then, oc them up. It's pretty cute tbh but idk, I don't interact with them much since I like to do paragraph style rp more and they're more into one-liners and such.

I may go back eventually.  I definitely miss doing it.  I used to get up every morning and check the forum I was on, then spend hours on there when I had some free time.  Those were for sure the days. 😂

She wasn’t based on VK, but I did base her off of my favorite jpop idol, Koda Kumi (who is also her face claim).  When I first made her, she was a high school student (bc I was too, ha) who’s dad owned a record label.  She wanted to be a singer, but she wanted to rely on her own talent and not her dad’s connections.  The second version of her that I made when I got older, her dad died and she inherited the label, so she was always busy.  This time, she was more of a bad bitch than the high school version of her was.  The high school one was kind of standoffish and got into arguments a lot.  But as an adult, she didn’t really have time for stuff like that.

I tried to rp on tumblr, but coming from doing mainly forum based rp it was kinda hard to get used to, so I abandoned it.  I miss rping, but at the same time, I know I could never keep up with it properly right now.  Maybe I can again someday, but also maybe that time has passed.  I do have a dope af OC tho, and I still love her v much.  I put a lot into creating her and used to get a lot of compliments about how real she seemed.  Good times.

The hype is real.

Mission Music Factory PVs in general look like that (How long were Panic Channel on MMF before they switched to Sequence Records?)

I’m not sure when exactly, but CLJ was formed in 2006, so some point after that.  Wasn’t MMF their own label?  I didn’t know anyone else released under that label.

oldest vk video or just filmed w a potato?

All the panikku pvs look like that more or less. 😂 definitely potato.

We’ve clearly gone down the wrong timeline here.  That first xxx movie was, uh...well, I guess it happened.  Idk about the new X album or if it’ll ever come out, but even without that, this seems like a cry of desperation.  Two irrelevant forces are combining.  What will happen? 

I’ve always really dug how Reita plays, even tho I’m not that big on Gazette tbh.  Something about his style is really cool to me.

This always made me cringe, but tbh Gackt usually does that to me anyway.

Oh, wow.  This is really unexpected...was it known that he had heart issues?  I've never heard he did, but I also didn't look into that band much aside from their music.

I really hope he'll be okay...

On my phone, the crossboxes are ice cream emojis .

Edit: on second look, it's an emoji that shows a piece of paper with an X being thrown into the trash, but it looks like ice cream from afar. 

Oh, I thought it was ice cream too.  At first I thought they were named after whatever that emoji is or smth.  😂
