God

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

And people freak out when they get compared to DeG. Do you want anything more Deg-ish than announcing their releases way before their release dates?

I feel like it has something to do with when they toured with korn on that festival thing.  After that, their music really changed and got progressively more brutal.  I'm willing to bet it's also bc around that time, they kinda started to distance themselves from the vk scene.  If they were still hella vk, I really don't think western audiences would take them seriously.

Mr. Children always kinda creeps me out.

it has been announced that solo artist 春雪-sakura-‏ has passed away recently - I assume he died on December 11 as his last tweet was on that date. His funeral was held on December 15.
 
From what I researched, he did some support work for GateNo.14 and participated in some CROW MUSIC events. His own sponsored event was to have been held on the 18th.
 
 

VK names are bad, but mainstream rock bands are worse:
 
Bump Of Chicken
Mr. Children
One Ok Rock
Radwimps
The Oral Cigarettes
04 Limited Sazabys
My Hair is Bad
 
It's like they pull out random words from a hat.
 

I thought Sadie was fine until I found out it was pronounced "saddy", not like the girls' name, which is dumb on many different levels.

You're right. VK bands only have a place in US anime cons, Europe takes them more seriously with actual concerts at livehouses.

I was under the impression that vk is more popular in EU than USA.  🤔

More times than I can even remember.  The main issue for me has always been transportation.  Last year, Hyuna did a show in San Francisco, which is only about an hour from me.  Couldn't find a ride, and I don't drive so...it sucks even more cuz of what happened to her recently with CUBE and all.  Idk if I'll ever get that chance again.  😧

Man, I love Sena tho.  I'm glad he can read the dumb shit I write to him on Insta. 😂
 
Also, I don't know why or how, but when I met exist trace, Miko was speaking English really well.  Like, really, really well.  She's hella chill.

You from The Sound Bee HD speaks fairly good English and understands a lot. Though I've had very basic conversations with all the band. 
 
Hide-Zou from D speaks some English, and is actually a huge languages enthusiast, he's asked me to teach him Spanish. He has some certificate but idk which level and whether he renewed it or not (probably not)
 
Sena from Jiluka allegedly knows English, he stated in an interview he studied in Seattle, but the shy fucker refuses to speak it (even though he told me "you can talk to me in English if you want" -.-)

lynch. will disband. 
the GazettE will go on a hiatus. 
And D’espairsRay will get back together. 

(Thank you to @ricchubunny for posting about this in a status, which led to @Chi linking it to me!)

Lyrics: Kyo
Music: DIR EN GREY
Kanji/Romaji: wikia
Translation: me
 
English:
You don't realize what's happening to you
Your face is like a layer of patches
Gushing out a replica
Gushing out a replica
Die

Try copying it into my head
I'm kept in emptiness
You will still love me, won't you?
You will still love me, won't you?

Trash that hard on of yours
Trash every part of you

Here's the very best ballad
For me who is possessed by hypocrisy
Here's the very best ballad
You don't even love me, Beautiful Dirt

You feel it somewhere, don't you?
You feel it somewhere, don't you?
You feel it somewhere, don't you?
No choice but to love the rotten future

Trash that hard on of yours
Trash every part of you

Here's the very best ballad
For me who is possessed by hypocrisy
Here's the very best ballad
You don't even love me, Beautiful Dirt

You, just living is a pollution
You, just living is a sin
You are living, so please die
I will rot away the way I am

This is the version from VESTIGE OF SCRATCHES, which is different from the original version from Withering to death., aside from a few similar lines.
 
Enjoy! ^^

Seems fitting for the situation
 

He didn't embezzle money. He found a wallet on the road and instead of returning it, he used the money, which is still a crime and considered stealing.

He got arrested for embezzling money from a woman. Pretty sure he's fired, but  I'm not sure.

Hello Tomoe, I want to play a game. So far in what could loosely be called your life you've made a living by using my name in order to perform with your band. Society would call you a VKeier. I call you unworthy of the body you possess, of the life that you've been given. Now we will see if you are willing to look inward rather than outward to give up the one thing you rely on in order to go on living. 
 
If your band manages to get 100+ retweets with the statement about your "disappearance" you are free to go and your band will go major, however, if you fail to contact the band mates you have been neglecting I will inform your sugar daddies that it is all fake, so they can stop supporting you and your career will he over.
 
 
Live or die, make your choice. Let the games begin.

Seems like the "ray of pig" videos on youtube where boya is trying to loose weight? 
They have sooooo much marketing materials.... several youtube channels, free magazines just about them, dvds attached to like every flyer.... crazy

My corgi once killed a man just to watch him die. She's a stone-cold criminal.
