Nope, you're enjoying yourself and losing weight, and both things are great. Keep it up!

Hell no. Four years is nothing. Age doesn't matter and shouldn't mean anything when it comes to love. It'd be weird if you didn't love her is all, haha.
Is it weird I can't stand seeing bags on the floor? I have to pick them up and move them to a higher platform/elsewhere with a gap from the ground or I have to try to ignore it if I can't.

Youko_o got a reaction from MaikoMizu in The 10 Song Shuffle!
I feel like I don't know music enough because everything on your shuffle is unfamiliar to me. I only recognize the name Van Halen.
1. Bring Me The Horizon - Blessed With A Curse
2. Miss May I - Road of the Lost
3. the GazettE - ATTITUDE
4. Five Finger Death Punch - A Day In My Life
5. fade - One Reason
6. Bullet For My Valentine - Riot
7. DIAURA - メビウスリング
8. THE MICRO HEAD 4N'S - BREAKING & SHOUT OUT!!!!!
9. DELACROIX - 無限廻廊
10. Miss May I - We Have Fallen
Although FFDP and BMTH are two of my very favorite bands at the moment, Blessed With A Curse and A Day In My Life aren't really my cup of tea. I do prefer the guitar work on 無限廻廊 by DELACROIX. Also I like a lot the style adopted by BFMV on their latest album Temper Temper, which features Riot.

Youko_o reacted to DogManX in DIR EN GREY - ARCHE
This album is what I would call a final STOP sign for anyone who seriously expected a second Withering To Death (and associates). Once again Dir en grey go on showing that they are willing to take any risk, just to express themselves. The album is more fluent and consistent than Dum Spiro Spero, but still it is a natural evolution from that style and I think it's safe to say that we can expect this sort of evolution in the future ahead. It also carries an atmosphere that is beautifully consistent. Each song sounds like it is supposed to be on THIS album.
What takes this album to the extreme is the change from melodic one-liners to total dissonance (Chain repulsion --> 禍夜想). Those elements are also much more focused into each song for its own than in the past. You don't get another DREAMBOX here, because it either is totally harmonic, or it is totally crazy and unpredictable. Past songs like Shitataru Mourou appear like early inspirations to what conceptualizes the sound on this album. Distorted, through-composed with one theme after another, and still focused. Sukekiyo and tool are also greeting in the background.
The guitar work is great on this album. There are great chord progressions (鱗, Phenomenon, revelation of mankind), reminiscences to old VK (Cause of Fickleness, 懐春) and downright hypnotic riffs that may turn a theme into a whole song (The Inferno). Faster, more technical, heavily layered. It's like kaoru and die read a few sukekiyo reviews on which their own guitar work on deg is ridiculed in comparison, just to shove it back into the writer's a**es. The solos here and there are a nice touch, but not really necessary. Toshiya steps back a bit from his metallic slapping sound. His bass isn't as present anymore, but still contributes with warm and soft riffs, and of course also he gets times to shine (sustain the untruth, 懐春). Shinya's drums are for once not overly experimental and actually try to fit into the songs, with great result. It is still to see though if he manages those disciplines on stage, too.
輪郭 was helluva song in 2012 and it still is on this album. Other highlights are Phenomenon, 懐春, Cause of Fickleness, Revelation of Mankind. 空谷の跫音 takes the "Vanitas" spot, but ends up in a totally different direction. The Inferno does the obligatory "heavy-song" and somewhere resembles "Decayed Crow", but ends up being a very solid piece of death metal.
There are problems though. The placement of the songs seems spontantous from time to time. Un deux is not the strongest song on the album to say the least, and it also doesn't fit as an opener. Likewise, the finisher doesn't quite feel natural in its place. Sustain the Untruth would have been better maybe.
This album is heavily experimental, it doesn't try to sound compelling, and the listener should really know what to expect and how to deal with it. Dir en grey fans of the post-Uroboros material may find joy with this piece, fans of the older stuff on the other hand might just be overwhelmed by the unconformity presented to them. Dir en grey have once more proven they're not just this band which does "western metal" now. ARCHE is a solid release with my score of 8/10.
wow this sucked I hope someone can put it in better words than me

Well, Tetsu from MERRY is currently on leave ... but I don't play bass, so I would thank them very much but tell them that it was a ridiculous and bad proposal and invite them all out for dinner.
What is your favorite mythology or mythological figure?

The new song is too long. Not that I don't like long songs, but this one gets tiring while listening.
