I'm living for the drummers look. Mama is serving with that dead fox on her shoulders. Probably the most expensive out of their costumes.

Also they're confused at whether to be a metalcore band or deathcore band. It irks me more than the half assed Djent riffing bands.

The mini-album was better than the single. Hoping the album would be better.

Why would they join Shimizuya? R.I.P LAY ABOUT WORLD 2018-2020

Thank you starwave for murdering songs I use to love when I stanned this Justice King. Starwave killing bands since when Kiwamu was able to throw chairs at fans. 

Rarezhut auction hull. Thanks @Valicious and @Biopanda for getting me to buy some of the same releases because they were signed XD Also Keiyuu cheki ❤️ 

Panic Channel always produces great pop rock anthems for their Boy Band side(they don't consider that side visual) and for their visual kote side they always had the sound and all the songs are still amazing.

Also to the person who stole my tragically ditched vid and sent it to Meguru on insta, you can go fuck yourself~

Diet-Coke Head Barbie Dreams + CRENSHAW MAFIA MOTHERFUCKERS

Them saying that they're not buying back things and go to the Shinjuku store to sell your shit = basically closing down.

I was just about to go to itunes music after I saw it was a digital release, then I saw the date T.T No.6, Steep, and Hellhoud is the direction they should aim for. Only few VISUAL KEI bands that can do Djent riffing justice. R.I.P MBHI

Just a gist of what I snagged.

ネオン - meltdown

nil admirari - STAY GOLD (I can cry happily to sleep now)

てんさい。 - 前回までのあらすじ

てんさい。 - メアリィドール (Now all I need is the Halloween song T.T)

Azlina - CountingRhymes (2nd press), it also came with しぐば chekis <3)

MIMIC - TRAP BOX (Mio Cover)

I was wondering why I couldn't access the site yesterday...they had a bonus purchase for this CD I wanted and now I can't get it. FUCK.

This is so sad cause Brand-X has been one of the few shops that I bought through when I was a teenager(I am fucking old btw) and I stopped using the store when DWP went on hiatus(broke-up).

R.I.P Third Stage, Brand-X, UZD Company, and whatever I've missed.

I want one in every color. Fashion Kei still lives!

I liked Mr. Moonlight; so I'll definitely keep an eye out for these guys.

MIMIC - KING MIMIC

Team-R - Tear

LAY ABOUT WORLD - DROWN DEEPLY

the Darling - 夏

the Darling - 秋

the Darling -  冬

Megamega Heart - サヨナラの唄

ANOTHER DIMENSION - Real (I honestly never thought this existed, holy fuck rare, it's a mini-album too!)

ラジオ体操 - LAST ONEMAN LIVE @ Shibuya O-EAST 

The riffing sounds like Maple Tabasco Topping from FULL EFFECT' tbh I am here for this! The sound is soooo Koteosa. Brings me back to when I was a teenager with my Asian mullet with the right long bang dyed blue(Still a Panic Channel stan too).

I heard Osa kei, especially mid to late 00s, and I'm already intrigued.

I don't know what you're talking about, but you're not really explaning it.

Should I feel attacked now because I don't play an instrument? I don't think so.

I often hear from those who play instruments themselves, that that is the reason they DON'T like most pop music. Because they think it's much less creative. I share the same opinion even though I can't play anything myself. I've been into rock music since I was a kid and just can't get into any pop because it's the opposite of what I like, sound and style wise. The atmosphere of rock and pop lives are also so different.

But hey, it's just my opinion. You be you!🙃

 

Rock music has always been in my life; i recently probably in the mid 00s got into pop music. You as in yourself ask why people like me who listen to dark type visual kei and can go to into pop music just like that. I gave you my opinion and mine wasn't even attacking you, and if I'm feeling very attacked holds any meaning(which is a meme in itself) I still put people an "lol" at the end to let you know that I wasn't even mad; now on to my point. Who was it in Nazare who said they didn't listen to metal at all, I think it was the singer. It all fits the persons musical preference and what they feel like listening to at the time. I've a few friends who actually tour and do metal, and they don't even listen to metal music on the off time, because they get tired of listening to heavy, distorted music. So I gave a reason why mainstream pop music attracts some people like us who listen to dark heavy stuff; like John Mayer, specially those that play guitar P.O.V.; with a little music theory which is already hard to explain(I'm not a teacher). And I've been to both pop and metal concerts and lives; and find that both fandoms are still shit. I've been to a Journey concert with people actually being decent human beings compared to EDC with people being shit still. Major pop music is based on C Major verse chorus verse standard and it's easier to get into, and yes the melodies can get complex in pop music. I think it was Mikael Akerfeldt or someone from a Scandinavian Metal band that says they love listening to Kate Bush on their free time instead of metal. 

Your preference isn't the same as mine, I was explaining why some people like what they like and you got mad over it; and I didn't even attack you for not being able to play and instrument, just gave an example to why some people can transition like that and you didn't like my example.

I'm also that person who doesn't understand people who are fan of both dark heavy vk and (mainstream) happy bubbly pop music 🤷‍♀️

I'm feeling very attacked by this lol 

Well as someone who grew up playing an instrument, you get an understanding from a musicians point of view on what they want to convey. Like if you play guitar for example and love metal music; you get to learn to love shit persons like John Mayer. You can see his musicality and his guitar work is phenomenal for a person who plays pop music. That's when you get into scales and music theory and such, and most pop music is based on Heptatonic scale(Ionian mode), where as metal is usually played in Pentatonic  Scale(Aeolian mode), but that gets in way in too deep, so I won't go into that.

Well it's official; It's been a long time coming, but hope y'all like my voice! @official_JRD

Like I said; I wasn't going to judge them until I heard it, and I wasn't disappointed, yet they're kinda lacking. I really like the breakdown though ❤️

Guess who's having fun ripping all these today >.> If my room wasn't a mess full of CDs already

really? which ones he wrote?

 

it was such a bummer to see him leaving the band, dude is so so talented!

Definitely Voice, and I think maybe 勇者 and live your…

They recently started playing melody in December if I recall; so it's definitely not a KAI song.

I like the visuals; the music I will judge in 5 days.

I was waiting for this tracklist forever. 4 Songs that are digital downloads, and the rest was written when Kai was in the band lol. 5 new songs total + the SE we know is track one. Sad it's released a day before my birthday D: I guess this will be a b-day present to myself.

Well, you can see that if you've seen my pictures before, that I've changed my overall appearance. I like playing with make-up, I do wear it to work and I let them know if they fuck with me, I have HR on speed dial and HR said I can wear makeup to work, no one cares though that I wear makeup sometimes; so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
