Naaaaani

Just fuck you, Yoshiki

You look beautiful, digi! : o
Also a little bit like you're advertising deodorant. XD Dem perfect armpits~
 
We recently bought a fuji instax camera and between lots of random shots of cats, cars and action figures a novelty appeared:
Official Hyura cheki.
 

 
I look chubby, despite hitting underweight recently.

I personally think the greatest solution to this age-old problem, is not to force "leechers" (whatever the hell that actually means - we're all leeching) to step into the light and give thanks to you mighty people that rip releases, but to instead, force everyone to be anonymous. If you upload/share a file - it would not be associated with an account, but only the details of the release/quality. No comments. No thanks button. A simple link to download.
 
This whole "give credit where credit is due" on this matter is almost sickening. The purpose of sharing music here is just that: sharing; turn people on to new music that they might have never come across or heard before.

Use foobar2000 + lame encoder and your rips will be perfect

Elitists must suffer. If you are ripping and uploading stuff on the net to everybody so don't be idiot and stop shitbricking about your credits. For example, I rip and upload some really unique stuff and don't give a fuck about my "credits", I just wanna share some good music with everybody who need it, and I'll be glad if somebody will like my work. That's all.

May I join the discussion and share with You my thoughts?
 
First, I'm personally deeply convinced that the most important in process of re-uploading is giving credits to original ripper, and/or uploader. I do not consider it as much important to ask personally everybody for an official permission though; in my recent practice I mostly omitted the latter in case of re-uploads from Jpopsuki and honestly I did not feel too much guilty until now. However I would never upload anything I obtained from someone privately without asking my benefactor at first. Wherefore I am not certain, if You would consider me as a person harmful or useful for our community. But of course I have never posted anything but here and my faith is simply to gather as much good Japanese music rips in highest possible quality in one place, without necessity to look for something throughout the whole web.
 
In fact, I fancy I could confess that I'm in some way considering myself as a foul leecher despite everything. I'm visiting Monochrome Heaven only to exchange, well, not to lie, mostly to download, since I have not enough money to buy original albums by myself, music, especially in so called lossless formats, and if this section vanished forever, I would perhaps never come back. If some discussion interests me, I can read and sometimes participate, but frankly, I do not need to spend hours talking with people. The life is short and to lose it in such a way seem not funny, especially when one is so frail like me; therefore I have some better things to do than dedicate all my day for pointless discussions, namely to pray, to read poetry and mediaeval sources, and of course to listen to music itself. Thence the sole and most important reason of visiting this place is just to download more, not too much since I download only highest quality lossless music though, and, perchance, to share something which has previously given me a lot of enjoyment, what I took from Jpopsuki, or some other forum, or tracker. I could in no way be useful for this community and, if, let's say, download section became wholly somehow private, or closed, and if I just tried to talk with You to obtain access to this theoretical private section, or just to grow closer to You, I strongly feel and fear that I would never become truly accepted, and You'd all hate me, if I would only try to talk more often, so different seem my thoughts and daily life than that of most of You. That's also one of reasons why I'm sticking mostly to the download section. Perhaps, there are also other "leechers", who do the same out of similar incentives.
 
What else can I say? I humbly think it's not good reason to talk about music particularly in download section. I recently even talked about it privately with 5tranger from Gakuon. The latter community were devoted strictly for sharing music, wherefore it would be in some use to talk about shared releases in their topics themselves. However our forum is so rich in separate sections that it seems to me not necessary to force "leechers" to talk about things they are taking from here. But to force everybody to click "like this" button, if one want to take something sounds far nicer. I also liked the idea of passwords. Why should they be offensive through? I would personally suggest for every uploader making passwords with their user names. If some "leecher" wouldn't care to re-pack downloaded rip and re-upload it, one would even unwillingly give credits to original uploader, and/or ripper. In case of persons who like me re-upload things from Jpopsuki/Gakuon/RuTracker et al., we could of course make passwords with names of original uploaders as well. I believe this last way would seem the best, if uploaders of original content would eventually resign from their expectations of private request for permission to re-upload anything of theirs, satisfying their souls with obtaining credits. Of course, even this wouldn't always work, but in some cases would perhaps seem at least effective.
 
OK, that's all for now. And please, accept my sincere apologies, if my above words hurt or offend some of You.

Thank you, Biopanda. Just received my Aioria and Vice Risk demotapes. PM me please if you have more Vice Risk tapes.
