^ LOL! Thanks for solving the mystery

I made scans, will send them to you at some point

It's funny how LIN 2.0 is almost unanimously preferred over LIN 1.0... from only 30 seconds of music

^ SAN recently started his personal session, so I doubt that one too IMO it's probably TBS session band members, but we'll see

Probably just coincidence (or maybe some members from both are making a new band?). Anyway, Shimizuya president made a post about One★Star's disbanding, and said he was a lot more sad about that than Avidit. aahah

LOL in reality the sample's only like 9 seconds long! Anyway, it's not very good

I have the most plays of them on last.fm (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿)

↑ I think it's more of a “whenever I feel like it” project

Hmm... it doesn't sound bad, but their first single was perfect and I hope that they haven't abandoned that more serious tone ._.

Cool! Greatly enjoyed their album

Hahahah, it's a great theory! But... Well, besides that there's no point in making up 1 year of band history... Sherlock says simplest explanation is probably right: KISAKI makes up 1 year of band history, or KISAKI copies some song titles? As elias mentions, there's another Levia―well, there's also another LAYBIAL, GARDEN, De=prive, Vice†risk, Of-J (several オブジェ)... You have these young boys running around in shit-fucking-tiny bands playing terrible copycat music in the no-internet Stone Age wasteland of 1993... My point is: they probably just copied each others' band names/titles/cool phrases, and were so small that no one cared. As for those DTs not being online, IMO KISAKI is the only one who owns those tapes anymore because he's the only person on the planet who cared enough to save them. Any girl who was into 1993's LAYBIAL got married and threw that shit out before VK even reached the internet, you know? And KISAKI probably doesn't share them because they're embarrassing/he doesn't have the rights. Also: I own a Levia tape and have seen others, so that definitely ends the theory. --- That being said, no clue if the songs themselves were copies of those other bands! Would only know if I had rips of all the tapes to compare. So you can still form conspiracy theories about that ! --- It was worth buying from there, 'cause the MP3s were from original masters. Unfortunately their credit card system is offline now, BUT you can find almost all of those MP3s on the Matina DEMO TAPE COLLECTIONS CD-R which UNDER CODE released (I think there's a rip up somewhere on MH?)

This seemed interesting so I searched about it... Apparently the movie was called Kokuhaku (告白). You can find info by searching 映画「告白」. The overseas title is Confessions, and it seems easy enough to find at those “free streaming” sites. I read that UnsraW was featured as a live act in the movie, but not sure if they really were after all... but maybe you can watch it and find out for us!

Why not?

I know MEGURU drummed previously; how about the other guys? Anyone know if they have previous experience with those instruments as well?

I found their OHP some time ago and that's where member lineup / pictures came from

Like it Excited for the album

Excited for ISORA and HOLYCLOCK! And glad to see PureSound Records doing stuff. PureSound is my favorite shop by far

All I remember about them is that one of the members said he hated foreigners on the OHP or his blog or something, and one of my friends refused to listen to them because of that haha

Don't even care how fake it is; I am always here for a band trying out gothic vk (eg DEATHBIE)

^ Ah, then probably just a best album put out by their label without their consent (like one of the recent D best albums) IMO

Super excited!! Mini-albums are the perfect vk release vessel IMO―long enough to be cohesive, concise enough that the shit gets cut

omg return of Midi:Nette I wish

^ That was their disbandment setlist? How shitty!

10. “YOSHIKI Cooks” line of pots and pans @rsasai Tell me more about this!
