that would imply all this time we've been writing messages into the void. well now we know to just follow up with a PM. no wonder why you guys think reporting doesn't do anything.

@chemicalpictures はじめました means to have started doing something. so literally, 絶望、はじめました。 would be "i've started doing despair," or in better English, "i've begun to despair." but actually, it's more than that. when a Japanese person says he/she is 絶望, the immediate connotation is that he/she does not want to do anything, and never that they are motivated to do something. so putting 絶望 together with はじめました is self-reflexively ironic, and it's likely that it's meant to be read 'playfully' along those lines. and thanks for the vote for confidence lol... i'm actually teaching in the university haha ^^

@hirokioh, I see! that makes a lot of sense! you would make a fine teacher, man lol! just out of curiosity, what that release name (絶望、はじめました。) actually means?

@chemicalpictures in this case はじめまして is a fixed expression that historically derived from the same root verb as はじめました but has since evolved to become idiomatic in the Japanese lexicon, so it's probably not a good comparison.  to give an example, the phrase "see you around" has accrued more cultural meaning as a phrase than what each component of the phrase individually signifies when put together.

so addictive!

That is very sweet of him... He must've really loved it!

Everything is up to date now! I was a bit late but now I'm back on track! Thanks for the nice words!

I hope you don't mind, but I shared this through MH's social media pages!

I would also have to disagree with you, I buy a lot of cds and I do understand some people do not have the $ and thats okay but when you use that as an excuse to justify only downloading thats not okay. I use to avidly share on here but when i see posts like this i feel used because people only care about the downloads. Bands work hard for their music. They want to do what they do for a living and if everyone downloads most likely we can expect a disband. Especially vk... vk doesnt have a big audience(compared to other styles) so these bands need all the help they can get. My stance on this is... do what you can for the band, ull b surprised to know that colecting cds is pretty fun. More sales = more promotion = more tours = world tours. You think gazette got a world tour because everyone illegally downloaded? Bands need sales otherwise theres no funds to support any kind of tour or even feed themselves.

i have exactly zero interest in what others decide to do (or not do) with their money, but just try going out there and declaring that with a straight face. that's akin to reassuring yourself that Trump is the best thing that will ever happen to the rights of marginalized people because all the reprehensible things he has said/done/will do indirectly promote solidarity among said groups.

tbh all the dramas going on at this moment, are exactly why I stopped sharing music years ago, all those "music should be free" and the fact that they are just waiting for you to share and leech the shit out of it is killing me. Not sharing anymore was the best choice I've made on this forum, got tired of people "thanking you" you for your uploads and stabbing you when you're not here
