    They could better use his dick to make a candy, not his palm. The modern X fans are enough gay for it if they can still follow Yoshiki and his shit.

     

    Now there's a novel idea: I'd definitely buy a set of X JAPAN dildos. Maybe Versailles can jump on that, if X doesn't.

    So... What does the flyer say?

    I think it says they'll have some unspecified retweet campaign. One lucky(?) participant will win a cast of his hand, I guess.

     

    As to why there's also a lollipop of crystallized piss in the shape of his hand, idk. I guess it'll be sold in the same stores as his curry chips etc

    Looks like it's a double-A-side single,  so correct title (of the single) is 蒼い鳥/虹の待ち人. The cover art has two sides: front is the blue one (蒼い鳥), back is the yellow one (虹の待ち人).

    ☝ Here's a picture of the unopened package from an auction. You can see some of the yellow cover through the back.

     

    Edit to make sure there's no confusion: there's only one single. No second press or alternate version; just one single with two covers.

    I'm kind of into this! The vocalist's look is pretty neat.

     

    Edit: hmmm, guitarist kotoi has the same birthday/blood type as Mana (ex-MALICE MIZER), and guitarist reki has the same birthday/blood as SUGIZO (LUNA SEA). You can tell it's them if you squint while looking at the picture.

     

    Secret super band confirmed.

    The government ALREADY seized the something valuable that is chock-full of taxes debts, and its auctioning to get some of this money and because it does not have any use to it. It may or may not come clear of past taxes to be paid, that depends. The value is low because that's how govern departments operates, you can check your local DMV for seized cars being auctioned at 60%, 65% below market cost - This seems to be the case, since its already a financial govern department hosting the auction...

     

     

    Yes, that seems like the case! Thanks for putting it so clearly

    So it seems like the copyrights are being auctioned by the government, rather than by the band/label. In that case, none of the profits will go to the band or toward their debts, if such debts exist. (Please correct me if I'm wrong!)

     

    This at least explains why the minimum price is a paltry $500―I imagine the band could make that kind of money just by selling cheki for a week.

     

    I wonder if KIYOHARU even knows about this?

    Edit: I also notice that the posting is by the Tokyo Regional Tax Bureau. Does that mean the rights only apply to Tokyo? Maybe someone can shed some light on how Japan's copyright laws work in that regard.

    So I have a question. We all know Kuroyuri To Kage used to be an AnguraKei band signed to Dear Dolce called "Memento Mori", and Grieva was signed to Dear Dolce as Reload. But before forming Kuroyuri, Memento Mori was signed to a label called Aka-ON after Dear Dolce dissolved. During it's run in Dear Dolce, Memento Mori switched from a regular VisualKei band with AnguraKei influence, to a full on AnguraKei band with the release of their first album, and the release of "Sagamiya" on an omnibus I can't remember the name of. (The song was rereleased on the band's second mini album). They were going to release Haikei Haranbanjo Biyori on Dear Dolce, but it closed down before it could be released. Does anyone know what the deal was with Aka-ON, though? They had lower recording quality compared to Dear Dolce, and had a few former Dear Dolce bands. You can compare the recording quality in the original preview of Memento Mori's "Joroya" with the version of the song that was released. The version that was released had weird drum recording as the kick drum was barely audible, and a lot of reverb on the drums themselves. Was Aka-ON lower on funds? Or did they just have really bad sound engineers? Or did Memento Mori have a recording error, and they decided to just keep it the way it is, because they were rushed, and because they refused to resort to drum samples and wanted an authentic sound? (Refusing drum samples by the way is very bold for an amateur band).  Moreover, why did Memento Mori have to disband and reform as Kuroyuri To Kage? The only real difference is that Kuroyuri doesn't wear Kimono or use traditional instruments, but the songs still talk about a lot of the same topics. Were they forced to abandon the AnguraKei style and decided to settle on a mix of neo-90's Vkei and EroguroKei? Just so much that I wonder.

     

    I do know this one thing though. While many may connect how Grieva is a cover band of Dir En Grey with the hate that Memento Mori got for apparently "copying Kiryu", I can assure you Memento Mori wasn't a copy of Kiryu. Kiryu had a mix of metalcore, post-hardcore/emotive hardcore, and Alternative Rock, meanwhile Memento Mori was mostly Metalcore, Alternative Metal, and Numetal. Also, Memento Mori formed around the same time as Kiryu's first album was released, and they weren't popular enough at the time to be copied. Also, Memento Mori had influences from Eroguro bands such as Inugami Circus Dan, while Kiryu seems to be influenced from Aicle's old stuff. 

     

    IIRC, Aka-ON was founded by the same guy (SMILE vocalist, I think?) who owned Dear Dolce, after that first label went under. As far as recording quality, etc., we might assume that he was lower on funds, as Dear Dolce didn't seem very successful (and had like a million bands for no reason).

     

    Speculation: Yukika saw Memento-Mori, saw that they had potential, and offered them a contract on his label (which had more money and more recognition). I doubt that they were “forced” to change; I'd guess that they just expected to have more success with the Kuroyuri style.

    For a *single* purchase, I think it was like $300+ for a vie eternele release. (Not worth it lmao)

     

    Overall, I've spent a metric fuckton on KISAKI related stuff.

     

    Probably Dali is the one band that I spent the most on, cause I vowed to collect everything from them that I could. Unfortunately their later years were just a bunch of dist stuff, so I basically had to give up... But for a while there I bought multiple copies of every type, etc

    How can another company take down the video when the official YouTube posted it? I'm a little confused 

     

    L O L. I guess it's because the original version of Samurai dreeeeeam breaker was on TREASON -THE CUTTING EDGE OF ROCK PRESS- omnibus, which was published by Victor Entertainment. Soooooo fucking stupid!

     

    I guess no one managed to save it before it was taken down?
