Stay strong. Hopefully it'll be over before you know it ^^

Haha I shall forever be filled with pride

Who remembers when this was a thing?

Awesome! I'd love a tshirt if the designs are any good

This is brief, biased, vague, and most likely wrong but here goes! -Everyone ditched Aoi (because the music was getting lame) and made a new band, creatively named AYABIE. Aoi stayed on the record label out of a sense of duty? -Aoi did a poppy solo album and some boring side projects. -AYABIE released some pretty good shiz. People hate on Yumehito's singing but he's a'ight. -Everyone left AYABIE except Takehito for various reasons. Maybe it was because of that keyboardist they took on? I think Intetsu quit music altogether? -I assume Takehito called it a day too. -They all came back together (including Aoi) to do some one off gig I think? Sans keyboardist I assume. They later announced they were coming back and recently brought out an incredibly forgettable album.

I personally felt AYABIE were doing a good enough job without Aoi. Aoi's reappearance (as much as I love him) has just resulted in the (boring) stuff they made pre-disbandment. Maybe I need to give it more of a chance but I just want more pre-Irodori material damnit! XD

Wow, that was quick? I imagine it will be just as bland as their new album though 😕

Completely overlooked that, sorry! I keep forgetting you're one of the few people on this earth who agrees with me regarding Kisou XD

Mine is ever-changing but at the moment it's (from best to worst) Uroboros Vulgar Arche Macabre Gauze Withering To Death Dum Spiro Spero The Marrow Of A Bone Kisou The Insulated World

Fair enough

This dumps all over The Kinky, for sure

Man of Medan for my horror fix ❤️

Totally get you, I don't want to ever use music like this to the point where I don't even enjoy it anymore! We're hoping to move offices next year so I'll request that she be out in the car park or something 😋 Hahaha thank you, right back at you

I can relate to this so much. The office is generally harmonious but one woman feels the need to talk incessantly, overshare, one-up everyone, and generally annoy the crap out of me. I found out recently a colleague feels the same way yet we're not the confrontational type. Thank god for headphones; I don't want to listen to what underwear she has at home, how big her partners piece is, how amazing yet annoying her kids are, or about her annoying her mom is. Ugh.

I hear you and can totally empathise with what you're going through. To be fair I would argue it's the former; being with the right person makes you feel a lot more comfortable in your own skin. Having that certainty and security from someone really makes a difference. If I'm in a relationship without attention/affection, I feel so anxious about myself, about the relationship etc. I've had those crying fits and felt that frustration and despair both in and out of relationships and know how oppressive it is. While you're single, try to work on yourself as much as possible. I suffer from social anxiety but I've been doing my best to get out there, talk to randomers (even saying hello is a huge effort), and become less self conscious. Not saying this will work for everyone but it's calming to just blend into the hum of society; it helps to remind me that everyone has their own crap to deal with and that the world doesn't revolve around me. Be comfortable in yourself, work on what you want from life, and wait for the right person to step into your life. I know it sounds cliche but I don't know, I just feel more hopeful as a result of it

Can anyone point me in the direction of their heavier back catalogue please? I've tried a couple of albums but they seem so inconsistent even for a VK band 🤣 I love Dokumoru and Doku Mawaru but haven't really found anything similar 😕

I feel ashamed to understand this reference 🤣

If you need another fix, I'd recommend checking out DAMY. They're much better and more consistent in my opinion

Welcome, good to see another UK dweller on here! You have some fine taste in music Nice work repping ViViD; you don't hear that name much nowadays!

Just as a follow up to this, I've started using Google Play Music and apart from a pretty janky interface it's perfect! There's a 50,000 song limit for the free account but that's more than enough space. I get to stream my music collection wherever I like just by using their app

@Gesu @ghost From experience, sex is important in a relationship but it shouldn't be put on the ridiculous pedestal it's on. Being physically, intellectually, emotionally, and sexually compatible with a person is key to a successful relationship. If one of those pillars erodes, the whole thing comes down eventually; they all need to prop each other up to keep the structure standing. Being super physically and sexually attracted to someone is all well and good but if they don't stimulate you in other ways, there's no substance to the relationship. Likewise if you can have intellectual, deep conversations but you don't have any inkling of lust towards them, it won't work in certain ways. I think it's about finding a balance really. All of the aspects above are crucial to long term happiness. The reason why we're in this thread is because either we, our previous partners, or our prospective partners haven't quite fulfilled all of those needs to keep my metaphorical Greek structure standing.

You better be winning!

Bribery through sexy bandmen, I like it XD
