Hey guys! Been aware of this forum for ages but only now getting into participating. 
Me casually and me being vk, haha. We have some fun annual vk nostalgy nights in Helsinki, so it's a cool chance to dress up!

From December but it's the most recent of a little bit of quality plus i just like snow.
 

Same. They are really good live!

It looks like the "Nu-Metal Apocalypse Revival" is in full swing on the VK scene... I mean, how many nu-metal VK bands rose to prominence in the last 5-6 years? DEZERT, Kuroyuri To Kage, DAMY, Piglow in Gloomy, Mamireta, Bless This Mess, Savage,  even NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST adopted some pretty strong influences. Funny thing is those bands' material is better than most of the drivel shoveled out by Western bands like Coal Chamber and some other third-string acts...
 
Anyways, enough off-topic! imo D.I.D. are the kings of brutal kei: Agressive but technical riffs, some of the harshest vocals in the scene and killer bass lines and drums
 
 
 

It would be a shame not to mention SAVAGE a.k.a. DEPAIN ! These guys are insane live! I wish more of people would know about them! It's difficult to feel them if you haven't seen them live.  I didn't liked their music that much before but when i saw them performing i sold myself to them. lol
 
 

How could you guys...
 

kitty is not pleased
to be honest, just enjoying no-makeup life.
 
 

Since my instagram is public anyway~ (been to the barber since, tho)
 
Well now it's not public anymore lolol

bleached my hair some time ago
 

couldn't decide which one I like more
 
 
 
 
 

to all annoying people here who says that MEJIBRAY sucks ♡
 

Yeah I was like “who the hell did you get to proof read this?!” Haha.
 
Come what may in June, we know at least Tsuzuku will be there. They’ve made that abundantly clear. We just have to see who else is involved. I wonder if it is a band is they’ll have revolving members like Mejibray was supposed to back in the beginning? Guess only time will tell!

i knew koichi wouldn't stay silent for too long. his love for being aesthetic as fuck goes way beyond.

I'll post my favorite recent pictures: 
 
Me and Kiryu: 
I was really surprised that THEY ALL knew my name. It was the first time in my life meeting them and they all were like "Hey Ritsu".
Takemasa said im famous between japanese bandmans...OH WELL. HOPE THATS GOOD.
 

 

 
 
Me with my favorite band, UNiTE:
It was just awesome. No comments.

 
Me with Yue from Kizu, my second favorite band. They're just the best band that appeared on the recent years!
My forehead looks giant on this chekis. I know. Blame the photographer!! (LOL NO)
 

 
Also the most recent that i took the day before yesterday, me and Yuuha from the Raid.
the Raid. is not on my top 5 favorite bands, but Yuuha is one of my favorite bandmans ever! Love this babie!

I’m going to try and cliff note this and if anyone else wants to chime in feel free.
 
I think it was in April (???) that Mejibray’s Youtube channel’s name was changed to Forum Official. Another band was added that no one gave a shit about it. People assumed or hoped that was the reason why.
 
Then in May, after the first show on the Hangman tour which was completely normal, they posted that announcement on the homepage and all about the hiatus. After that, there were no more encores. Moreover, there were no more MCs. Tsuzuku didn’t talk to audiences at all (bar shouting the name of the city and maybe “Mejibray”).  A lot of fans are of the mind that he was essentially gagged by the label and prohibited from speaking. No way to know this for sure, but it felt like it. Also worth noting is the instores switched from talks to 2shots before any of this. Also no way to know for sure this is related. 
 
Most of their one-mans ended with BI”name”JIKA. Sometimes Decadance.
 
Mobile member content was really sporadic from there. Even the staff blog hasn’t had images added since the beginning of the last tour.
 
Fast forward to the tour final at Shinkiba Studio Coast. Tsuzuku and Koichi emerged painted black. They’d each done this once previously this year. The live was 14 songs instead of 15. This may or may not have been deliberate as Tsuzuku had collapsed and stayed down at the last song, seemingly overwhelmed. Koichi went to him and checked on him before stepping in front of him and seemingly flipping off the staff at the back and then holding up three fingers to the audience. The curtain finally closed.
 
Koichi’s birthday was a lot more fun. During the breaks between songs at one point, rather than facing the drums, Tsuzuku faced outwards, staring at the audience. He still didn’t speak; it was Koichi that spoke at the end, remarking on the challenges of the year and said we’d meet again next year. Everyone was crying, but the general air was optimistic after the live.
 
Then when the end of December hit, an announcement was posted on Mejibray’s OHP declaring that Tsuzuku’s and Koichi’s contracts had expired and to wish them the best in the future. Koichi’s Twitter and Instagram have been wiped clean. Meto’s birthday live where he will be providing vocals under a different name was announced. Mia is busy as fuck all spring with various projects and sessions.
 
So it’s basically been a massive clusterfuck. _(:3」z)_

this is gonna be the most dramatic live DVD since malice mizer's last budokan live MARCH COME THRU

I’m a little afraid that this is what’s going to happen and I really don’t want it. I’m fine with the members moving on if that’s what they want to do and I’d support them, but I can’t be okay with them using “Mejibray” without Tsuzuku. Just do something new.
 
Also, MiA is a great guitarist. However you like or don’t like him as a person, no denying his skill. 

i don't get why people arent literally shocked at this mejidrama like i know their popularity died in foreign fandom but this drama is literally WILD i have never seen management fuck over a band so hard, especially because it was literally tsuzuku's brainchild

i imagine if Meto comes out  sounding like Trollollo  guy or  this freak:
 

So it kinda seems this is what Tsuzuku and Koichi were 'signalling' at the end of the tour final then, interesting.

Koichi and Tsuzuku’s contracts with Forum are over as of today. The general thoughts and feelings that there was an issue with management is confirmed, I think. As of now nothing about MiA and Meto. MiA has been announced to be part of this project, but he’s not listed as “ex-Mejibray” and I don’t see anything to indicate that this is anything more than a session. Here is hoping for the best and the happiness of the members in the new year at any rate.

this is kinda minor but still adds to the experience. i don't know if other live venues do this, but the one i went to called Sapporo Colony would occasionally offer limited cocktails mixed or thought up by band members (i think?) in exchange for your 500yen drink pass. for AvelCain they had a cocktail called "noroi" and karma later made a tweet saying that it was mixed with his saliva. i don't know what to believe but it seems that i might have been cursed by his saliva.....
