I can't give you any information as to the process of trading rares (since I don't have any), but I can say that I find the process inherently terrible. Lets be clear, the process of downloading music is illegal, no questions asked. But what bothers me isn't when people are trying to share out of the love of a band or trying to allow people to gain more musical diversity, but instead hold these files over there head like they have ownership over it. It makes you seem like a pretentious fuck and it single-handedly kills whatever good parts file sharing has going.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT A DIR EN GREY SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LIKE... YEARS OR SOMETHING OK. 
 
The singer of THE KIDDIE is gonna cover I'LL on some weebee compilation~! OMG R U GAIZ AS EXCITE?

Holy crap! I think you might win the award for longest introduction post ever!
I'm really glad that you as a long time lurker have come out and decided to contribute to the community. Even if you don't post a ton, just a few insightful comments can help continue making this community a great place.

Do you have any idea how awesome that was to read? ^___^ It's always great to hear that we are doing some things right lol
As I am sure you probably already know by now, but I will say anyways, if you have any questions, feel free to ask anyone with a red or blue name...and welcome officially to the forum!

Here's two pictures of me. The first one is probably from November 2013 and yes those are prescription glasses not image glasses, I'm pretty much blind without glasses or contacts.
The latter is a glorious and amazing bathroom selfie straight outta Instagram from summer 2013.
 
I'm amazed of the tiny amount of "normal pictures" I have of me. In almost all of my pictures there must be either 1. my student overalls, 2. student cap or 3. shitloads of other people in it. And yes, student overalls and student caps (technical universities only) are a huge thing in Finland.

Nice! I hope you enjoy it XD

Adios, thread! (heading into my first relationship ever and I'm still terrified)

Well considering it's only been a week since this was even thought of...
 
Me, Ito, and Zess have been talking about it and what we're gonna do with this, so I can tell you it's definitely gonna happen in one way, shape, or form, but really we're not trying to rush or anything.
 
So yeah just chill. It'll happen when it happens.

Let's just say, you don't often see charts that have Children of Bodom next to Morning Musume.

*rides off valiantly into the sun(ny lands of Finland)* Farewell, comrades, and keep up the good fight :')

Schwarz Stein will do another one-day revival on 2014/03/23. Further information coming soon.

are you crazy? them things are hella uncomfortable...

I can't believe jinsei x boku included in the list LOL, seriously it is their weakest album in my opinion. I can't feel their true spirit in every song, and too many slow song!
 
and 88 kasyo junrei's album 0088 is a masterpiece, couldn't agree more

The title of this thread greatly confused me at first.

Here, try this: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ya423aqahw3ew6a/2014+-+QUALIA.rar

After digging around for a bit, and with the help of Linh, I've formulated a theory that they're breaking up because of money issues. Turn-A sounds like a last-ditch effort to re-record old A songs and then sell them to make some emergency cash. The low quality and poor reception of those CDs put the nail in the coffin for this band.
 
It's sad but VK is expensive and as much as I liked them they never got the push they needed to really make it.

Also Nimo, if you're lurking now would be the time to jump in. Tell us you're going to form a new band "B" or something. Anything pls.
 
EDIT: Also Linh makes another good point. They all die at the end of this music video. That supports my theory even more.




Someone bake this woman brownies. She's cracking all the mysteries today.

I'm afraid that you aren't allowed to leave. Remember the blood pact you signed when you registered on Monochrome Heaven?

Late post, but I dig that Wakusei record too - is sorta reminiscent to older Shiina Ringo material (might call it "Muzai Moratorium-lite", if you will), which I don't mind at all!

jesus, totally forgot about wakusei! i actually downloaded it and put it on my ipod when it came out, but then it completely left my brainworks
this shit is seriously cool, very tokyo jihen-ish, in a good way!
thanks for pointing them out again (over the winter-holidays i will be hanging at my parents place and be very very bored, ideal for listening this whole list through and maybe reviewing the stuff that caught my attention )
