inartistic reacted to nekkichi in Piracy is still a necessary evil
https://www.mediaplaynews.com/riaa-physical-record-sales-topped-digital-downloads-in-2017/
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/jan/03/digital-streaming-behind-biggest-rise-in-uk-music-sales-for-two-decades
there're numerous reasons VK acts won't get signed and distributed through major western labels, and they are slowly catching up with the streaming trend, but this scene never relied on an equation of 1 fan purchasing 1 CD per release,
the moment we stop downloading shit for free you and your kind will jump ahead screaming it's imperative for the REAL fans to purchase checki and merch, covering the overseas purchasing fees.
are you going to imply that the other outlets in the dying scene (i.e. SHOXX) are also leaving the market due to our lack of support?
ironically starwave produces the cheapest, shittiest, most derivative music/looks in the scene as of now, and I want to see the receipts that bands themselves get the coin from itunes purchases.
you should consider a social media diet (just a suggestion.)

The llll is silent, apparently (リグロ). In my head I say “ill-ligro” though
Idk what the l's are for; maybe some bs about representing the four members or something? Or the more likely answer: it looks cool.

inartistic reacted to Peace Heavy mk II in KISAKI conspiracy? Strange things I noticed related to Kisaki's old bands Levia and LAYBIAL
What if he's done this all purposely and the first person to confront him about it wins a UCP special bag + official bootleg DVDs and (another) copy of Phantasmagoria's Dejavu??
This is my moment

Everyone knows one of kyo's early bands was Visnu, but it's actually supposed to be written Viṣṇu (with dots under the s and n--dunno if it'll show up here).
A recent fav of mine is CμЯЁ-βLAST. Just a random no1curr band, but I'm a fan of the “more is more” band name.
If I had to give an actual guess as to why this is a “thing” in vk, I'd guess that it probably traces back to gothic influence in late 80s/early 90s. And I also bet that it became popular in the early 90s due to computers making symbols/alternate letters more accessible. (Crazy that vk is old enough to be influenced by the “rise of computers” huh?)

inartistic reacted to Peace Heavy mk II in 外道反逆者 ヤミテラ(Gedô hangyakusha yamitera) new single, one-man, two-man, and anniversary live
外道反逆者 ヤミテラ(Gedô hangyakusha yamitera) (Yamitera, for short) announced several updates yesterday.
The first is that they will be releasing a new single, "夕闇 (Yuuyami)" later this year. Dates and contents of the single have yet to be announced, however.
Additionally, they will hold their next one-man show 敬礼!マジ感謝卍 (Keirei! MAJI Kansha Manji ) at Ikebukuro RUIDO K3 on May 29th. Entry is 500 yen.
They will also hold a two-man live "vs" Kebyou (仮病) called 闇病 (Yamibyou) at Shinjuku RUIDO K4 on June 28th. SHeepSLeep will also be a special guest at this live.
Lastly, the band will hold their 1 year anniversary live 反逆日和 (Hangyaku Biyori) at Ikebukuro BlackHole on August 3rd.
Thank you to @inartisticfor compiling all of these points together

If I see a † in a band's name (which I sadly haven't seen recently), then I'm expecting a badass kotekei band like Larm†Ma'dule, etc. *_*
