    Poor UNDER CODE; clearly putting money into this band, but it seems that no one in the foreign community cares. ...Maybe that means they'll be a hit with the Japanese ;)

    I love Rayka though, so I'll at least buy their first single and go from there. I have to admit though, I want to vomit when I see him do that ALiBi-esque wink-smile in the PV clip, and his sudden change in writing style (rainbow text, really?) is turning me off a LOT. If they don't impress me with the first single, I think I'll just ignore them a bit.

    I find it kind of sad, But there first song was utter shit so i assume the reason why the left is cauze the vocalist couldn't sing xD

    But surely they had time to figure that out while they were waiting for their year-long-countdown to finish :roll: Or maybe they thought he'd improve in that time~ Hopefully they didn't put too much money into it.

    That was humbly announced as

    (...)

    did they have enough time to revolutionize weesual kei?

    No yeah, I remember; I wasn't saying anything as to them revolutionizing. If you want to talk about that, well, the only revolutionary thing about them is that Jin started using a red cord on his mic. Change the scene? Not so much, at least in my eyes. I was just pointing out that PERESTROIKA is ending not because it was a failure, but because it was planned to end. You'd have to talk to the band itself to see if they feel like failures or not.

    I followed a person around london for an hour in 2006 who I though was Hyde and it turned out to be an elderly chinese woman

    Came in here to ask what's with all the one-day revival nonsense and suddenly FUCK YEAH RARA. I'm so out of the scene I didn't even realise he had another band after ブレア, or that this new band had anything to do with UCP! I miss Rara, I used to stan him so badly. If this Cu[be] are any good, I might actually buy their releases to complete my Rara-related-discography.

    Are they? Someone on last.fm said they sounded like chariots and I didn't like them. :/

    Eh, I don't think they're much like chariots. Being honest, they need work--the band is young and hasn't written much together yet, and you can kind of hear that. But they do show promise, at least in my eyes. I would check out 償????自決????・・・, the remake of 閃光プロローグ, and maybe 断罪??雪. (I think those are the ones I like...)

    Wasn't datadeliver the site where the recipient could delete the files from the server? Maybe some gaijin n00b pressed delete instead of download, so now they're gone, lol.

    Oh yikes, that must have been it. I noticed that button, but the files were already gone by then. Who builds that in as a feature?!

    Update:

    Youna have linked mp3 downloads on his ameba, but I don't know how to download it cus its in jap :-S have anybody managed to dl the songs?

    Well, it's basically a dropbox site, but there seem to be no files uploaded... It says we have until March 23rd to download them, but, again, there's nothing in the dropbox. D:

    So practically I should give the Dejavu ~Sanctuary of revival~ album a try then

    Yes, Dejavu is probably the most succinct release. Then, if you like that, you can basically download their two REQUIEM albums and delete everything else, since those collect almost their entire discography.

    Since I can't seem to find the Phantasmagoria topic (lol), should I check them out, I only have their song "Lost in thought..." which I absolutely love. I love Riku's voice.

    You're asking if you should check out Phantasmagoria? If so, the answer is 100% yes. I like Lin, but Phantasmagoria is better; they're my favorite KISAKI band, and one of the few bands I would say has only one or two weak songs in their entire discography. If you're looking for other songs to sample, I'd say go for Pixy false, 幻想曲 -Eternal Silence-, and maybe NEO ARK.

    My thought: get maybe 1,000 signatures → announce at oneman that they met the quota → Japanese girls think they're popular and eat it up. Plus they have a nice little soundbite for every news article: “major-force band LOST ASH, who was begged by over 12,000 fans to release an album ...??

    In the grand scheme of things, this band isn't important (in terms of setting trends, etc.), but I can definitely see them going major. And in all likelihood, they probably already are! Consider that 1. neither their look nor their sound is very vk to begin with, 2. they've already had backing from a large company for every release, and 3. they were on an omnibus featuring major artists... It reeks of major finances.

    My feeling is that they've already been pegged by some major label and this is just a publicity stunt to make sure they get their money's worth. If LOST ASH gets 12,000 signatures, well, great, the label will see a return on its investment quickly. And if not, I'm sure the label has a list of fake names ready to go, and they'll just strip away the fake contacts and promote with fake hype until the band really can command an audience that large.

    Also, I'm pretty sure the vocalist is Jessica Biel.

    Yes/no/crazy?

    Pretty sure Voiceless Records belonged to AZUMI, because he's credited with SCENARIO and TOTAL PRODUCE (well, 安見尚 is credited, but that's just another name that AZUMI uses). But that's as much as I can speculate, dunno if there were other bands and such.

    Interestingly, he's also credited with SCENARIO and TOTAL PRODUCE on QROSS' demotape, but that tape was published through a label called GREAGOL. That label included MERE REVEIL and QROSS, that I know of anyway. So I guess AZUMI started GREAGOL for a few bands, then later Voiceless Records for Ruellia? That's my speculation.

    Come on, the chola/orient thing is so overdone.

    Tweeting “saw a cute little oriental dumpster diving!?? would be racist; using the word orient instead of Asian because it has a certain number of syllables and rhymes is not racist. And besides, orient is, quite honestly, not that bad a term. I wouldn't call my friend Kimmy oriental, but that's only because it's not a word we commonly use in North American English vernacular. Orient is not in and of itself a pejorative, unless you want to set your Political Correctness sensors on high.

    Similarly, chola does not have a racial charge in North American, common English. It may have in the past, but modern use of the word does not mean “DIRTY PUERTO RICAN WHORE?? or whatever you want it to mean. It's simply a style. And of course someone will be offended by the word, and that's understandable, but there is someone to be offended by every word. If streams of cholas want to take to the streets and proclaim that they hate the word, then fine, it's now a pejorative. But before that, a word is not racist simply because a handful of people are offended by it. Words only have meaning within the context of a culture, and, like it or not, this culture that Lady Gaga and I and white middle class America shares does not generally consider chola to be a pejorative.

    And at any rate, if you want to get butthurt over two harmless words, why be selective? Why are you not offended at the word “white??? Is your skin color really the same as a sheet of computer paper? And what about the word black? Why didn't she use the term African American, or simply “of a darker skin color??? Who do you know that is beige?

    If we're going to be PC, let's go all the way. I propose these new lyrics:

    Don't be a drag, just be a queen

    Whether you're broke or evergreen

    You're


    • [*:3q469oo4]a person whose ancestors were from an area in which greater production of melanin was selected for, otherwise commonly known as African, African American or perhaps black if you prefer that term;
      [*:3q469oo4]a person whose ancestors were from a region in which lesser quantities of melanin were required to survive, also known as Caucasian, or perhaps white, although I'm not insinuating that you're any different from your fellow humans that may have darker skin;
      [*:3q469oo4]perhaps a descendant of some Silly Putty -like peoples;
      [*:3q469oo4]perhaps some manner of person whose skin is generally considered to be “brown,?? at least within the North American white middle class perspective, perhaps known as Hispanic, Latino, Spanish, or some other term of your choosing--or perhaps simply a person who considers themselves to be female who tends to wear heavy eye-liner and lipstick and dress in a certain style

    You're


    • [*:3q469oo4]a descendant of the region which is generally considered to be Lebanon;
      [*:3q469oo4]you're descended from ancestors of the region which is generally accepted as Asian by modern peoples

    Hmm, somehow it just doesn't flow as well...
