    hiroki got a reaction from echo in B'LAIVE 1st mini album "B'LAIVE" release   
    Vocalist is Jekyll (ex-ATRUS), kamite guitarist is Dai (ex-Oneness). Shimote guitarist is Karen (ex-ashley).
     
    This feels really weird cos they seem like a totally diff band without Yoh, but I guess i'll follow cos i'm a huge fan of Jekyll. I'm fine with autotune but I'd rather hear Jekyll's real voice cos he has really nice vocals.

    I prefer Vistlip, the two are somewhat similar but Vistlip's melodies are more catchier for me ( ′~‵)

    been debating for a long time if i should show myself here or not but i trimmed my hair yesterday and felt pretty happy about myself so hi
     
    i miss my longer hair tho. this was me from a year ago. i was thinking about growing it out like yusuke koba's mane but having to tie it up at work made me feel more girly so i've been going back to shorter hairstyles

    hiroki got a reaction from jaymee in best way to support j-rock artists?   
    like what jaymee said, in 99% of the cases giving the band a few man as a one-off thing won't be decisive in whether your band survives or disbands (unless it's a sizable amount and you do it regularly...) also, for fear of gya-drama, most fans refrain from giving money directly to the band, but personally (and i stress this) i feel it's fine under certain situations. it depends a lot on how you do it, the temperament of the members (some bandmen will be offended), stuff like that. it's also probably ill-advised to attempt it with bigger bands. 
     
    it's been a while since i've done it, but when i did i'd write a note to the effect of 'have a great uchiage!' and i don't breathe a word about it to anyone. only once did i have the cash discreetly returned to me (at the next live), upon which i promptly spent the equivalent amount on chekis lolol. we both had a good laugh about that. having said that, most gyas would just blow an obscene amount on chekis if they wish to 'donate' to the band.

    hiroki got a reaction from jaymee in Bangya Hacks! (Advice for Attending VK Lives)   
    unless the item you're giving is a prohibited item (dangerous goods, perishables, etc.),  the bandman will almost definitely receive your gift even if they didn't mention it explicitly. if you ask me, it's a lot less stressful to give gifts to bandmen of bigger/more popular bands since the whole process is a lot more streamlined/systematic instead of hoping that your guy is coming out to buppan (last week i asked a bandman when they will at buppan at their next live and his reply was "idk, DM me on twitter and i'll come out?" lol). the downside is the lack of interaction/intimacy i guess.
     
    another possibility is to pass the gift to the bandman directly if there is satsuei after live or at instores (less awkward if it's a 2 shot so that you don't have to do it in front of everyone else). for bigger bands, usually fans leave them in stipulated baskets/boxes at livehouses or send them directly to their office (there should be an address for fanletters/gift on their OHP).
     
    as for flowers, what Duwang says works. the only thing i'd add is that if you're planning to decorate the flowers (photos, balloons, etc.), it would help to discuss it with the flower shop esp if you require it in advance of the live. i also suggest trying to get more people (esp those chipping in) to help with the arrangement.
