Yeah that's a great setlist for their last live. Really hope anzu doesn't retire x.x

^ Think so!! Really nice to see Kaede finally getting around to do something since Z-Force disbanded. Hopefully he forms/joins a new band soon after the one-day revival

Meh, this sux. Maybe Shikano and Rikuto will form neon again (I can hope right?)

Vocals remind me of -Sareal-'s vocalist whom I miss a hell lot. If they can improve on production quality I think I'll like them

Niceeee

I think we are friends on last.fm! Welcome to MH

haha I like it *shrugs*

Great news!

If you can scan in good quality (so I can see the lyrics without straining) I guess I don't mind typing the Kanji out.

but but.. i thought SId isn't supposed to be VK anymoar??!!!!!11one

^ Same! I've been doing that too although I'm totally not hopeful at all that I'll ever hear it There's also that kate live-limited single "Starry Starry Night" released during his acoustic live after Neo disbanded - that's like one of my top 3 vk wants but I think there are probably <20 copies in circulation (*_*)

My Fairytale new maxi single "Tokyo under note" will be released at 2014/10/22 (1,620yen), which will be sold in advance at their live "Tokyo under note〜地下世界への入口〜" at Shinjuku RUIDO K4 at 2014/10/09. It will contain 4 tracks, and further details will be announced in due course.

Still terribly upset at her death (even today I refuse to believe it was suicide). And finally, kinda cheating with this cuz it was released at the turn of the century (2000 I believe) and it's only a ballad within a rather liberal definition of rock ballads. Nonetheless, it's hands down one of my all-time favorite songs so pardon me for sticking it here: ^ Btw this was written when they were 16 or 17 (can't rmb offhand). Which was just as well cuz it captures coming-of-age in such a beautiful way that if it were written at any other age it would never have been so emblematic of late adolescence and all of its attendant nostalgic motifs.

Hello and welcome to MH! I love all the bands you listed as well! I'm quite sure we have a lot more favorite bands in common in your long list XD Looking forward to seeing you around, and enjoy yourself

Because Eru. is infinitely more interesting than overly manufactured idols or anyone in the endless pool of people who would quietly shuffle their feet and get back in line when asked to. Honestly though, not seeing what's wrong with comments like his. This is ridiculously trivial compared to so many others things going on in vk that border on unacceptable, and because it's vk, fans tend to take stuff a little less seriously (not a bad thing) and cut them some slack. Having said that I disagree with any form of violent behavior and if the rumor about him hitting a fan is true I hope he has apologized (then again, I'm skeptical when it comes to anything from Tanuki). I'm a fan of Awake and, no, not the least bit ashamed of it Also when you say someone is a dick, it would be a lot more convincing if you know exactly what he has said rather than just what others have said about him.

Maybe that's why they're going major? So they have more resources to build their fanbase? Idk, it's not like staying indies necessarily guarantees the band more fans anyway.. if anything every small mistake can destroy the band because they don't have much leeway at all. Just look at how many indies bands tend to overstretch themselves and end up calling it a day. I'm surprised as well because the label's taking a risk (and the band too), but I'd much rather prefer to see it as an opportunity for Awake.

Why do you say that?
