I don’t think stan is the right word for what we’ve been doing for the last week

At this point idgaf about Dimlim as a band or Retsu, I’m in it for the telenovela realness. 

I wrote a brief summary (below) in another thread. It doesn't have specific quotes etc but I've lived through this tragedy if that helps? XD 
 
---
 
-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. 

What is this now?
 
Did someone else quit?
 
 

Just got my physical copy and boy... uh. 
 
Okay so the release is actually manufactured by Amazon, which is a new thing to me. The booklet is filled with just promo art we’ve already seen, and the font for the lyrics and such almost looks like it’s blurred from a bad photocopy. 
 
No one from the band is credited anywhere. 
 
This is the most low budget indie thing I’ve seen in a while 

[[ Mod: I don't know exacly where to put this topic, because it's a request for drama lol ]]
 
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.
In this occasion I'd like to gather all about this band's awful story. Let's make a collection of this so dramatic drama.
I still can't believe one of my first favorite bands underwent at least an absolutely disturbing change of members and styles (etc) from the leaving of Ryohei in 2006, which, to me, was a real shame and kept me out of the loop.
That's one of the reasons I crave this drama so much now and want to learn your knowing of it, considering there are some sources, rumors and many reading material on internet as always.
So what you know about it?
-
Just to begin ::
Aoi in his blog in 2010:
"Dear all,

Firstly, I'm sorry that this message comes late.
I had a vague understanding of them, but I couldn't coherently grasp my feelings at reading the others' announcements,
so I couldn't put them into words. I just cried and cried. [...]"

why the hell are they selling DSS instead of Arche?

I have a theory and I call it: everyone has a number.
 
Passed by some ardent sexual reformers today who were hellbent on proving that there was nothing wrong with having a high body count, but refused to divulge their own when I asked. Look, if you have a high body count and you know it clap your hands, but do not try to lead people down a path you aren't willing to tread yourself.  Having a high body count (body count = number of sexual partners, if you got this far and didn't know what I meant) isn't inherently bad, but correlation implies causation. I haven't met a single person with over one hundred sexual partners who I didn't deem to be a sex addict, even including my best friend. 

I don't care how sexually open-minded you claim to be, but everyone has one. A limit, so to speak. The number of sexual partners from which the conversation changes from "ok cool no problem" to "that's a bit much" to "you need some psychiatric help". Some people have their number tuned exceptionally low, perhaps even single digits. Some people have an unbounded limit (that they haven't met yet). I know my limit is around 50 and I think that's reasonable. Said best friend from before is hovering around 70, and I think a few venereal diseases and some heartbreak changed his tune on sex.
 
I got to thinking about Pebbles today, the name of a neighborhood entrepreneur who has done business with almost everyone in the hood (but me, and thank god for that), who I think legitimately classifies as sex addicted. Over 300 partners before the age of 20 (without getting pregnant somehow), disowned by her friends and family, bouncing literally from one dick to the next looking for some stability. It's cold out here today; wonder who's house she's in now.

Most of the people that I know with a high body count are unhappy and ashamed of it, almost as if having constant, emotionless sex to fill a void isn't actually all that pleasurable. I was never sexually manic, but hearing these testimonies from multiple different people who don't know each other changed my opinion a lot. And I didn't even think that was possible.
 

I don't doubt this at all, but from what I've experienced and observed, I think this is the case with pretty much everyone. I think we all have an idea of who we are, and we present a certain version of ourselves to the world , but underneath the surface, there's all kinds of stuff dwelling there in the abyss of our hearts: trauma, resentment, anger, sadness, lust, envy, you name it. Some would call this the "unconscious" or the "shadow", but whatever you call it, if you don't visit that underworld often and get acquainted with these things...if you don't maintain a habit of healthy self-reflection, then all it takes is the right circumstance for any of these things to come bubbling up and usurp the authority within you. It's not pretty.

You could always buy another copy of DSS.

I'm generally a t-shirt girl when it comes to buying band merch, but yeah... I'd go with the poster or tote bag from that set...

On the plus side, that's less money to spend. Nice!

This album is like a very elaborate joke that gets old not even halfway into it.
 
One of my more tiring listens in recent memory.

I'm going to an emo drag party next month and I gotta re-emo myself.
Oh, who am I kidding? The emo never left.

those are some live vocals

I want to be DIMLIM's producer, cuz they don't know what the hell they're doing anymore.

that's already double the followers -OZ- had in japan, good for him

Me listening to the majority of MISC:
 

 
nah, it wasn't horrible, but "What's up ?" was false advertising like a muhfucka. That was the best song on this bih.
 
"For the future" was nice too. Chorus ruins  "Tick Tak".
 
Overall, I appreciate their willingness to experiment, but I definitely think the album was a mess and many of their artistic choices were...questionable. Also lol'ing at the fact that they still sound VK as fuck.
 
 
p.s: the boogieman shit was better.

BONUS:
 

Always thought this song sounded really fucking cool. I remember when I was living with my grandma I'd sit in bed and listen to this all the time while playing lil games on the tablet I had at the time.
 
 

Apparently the farm has an instagram and it's reaaally big. Also a fresh pic of Natsuki.

This is the merch for the rest of the tour. No longsleeves for us .__.

I feel like Tick tak is the only song with DIMLIM vibes and I like it, but I only listened to the album once. Rest is uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh eh meh.

And even then it's just a rehash of Rijin/Vanitas 😕

ditto spinning to an acoustic metallica - one riff?
