Crube

Just like one of my Chinese cartoons.....

I'd buy that for a yen.

xDD. Couldn't agree more, but hey, at least they didn't killed the song. I mean, it doesn't sound horrible or something.
 

I still love it anyways
 

I think that guy's youtube video kind of sucked dick, but I still agree that the show kind of blows chunks.
Now let me rage against modern anime as a whole:
Dear modern anime,
TAKE SOME FUCKING RISKS! For the love of god don't set your show in a school setting! "oh, but it's not a school! You see, it's in the future where bunch of kids are together in this spaceship..." STILL PRETTY MUCH A FUCKING SCHOOL! "Well, you see, it's not about the school, it's about the fighting and the ridiculousness of it all." THEN WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED A SCHOOL?!?!
I'LL TELL YOU WHY! IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO FUCKING PUSSY TO TAKE ANY REAL RISKS SO YOU STICK TO THE SAME GOD DAMN SETTINGS WE HAVE SEEN A MILLION TIMES OVER!
Also, once you have passed the age of 21, it kind of become really gross when you realize that all of the ecchi shit is with chicks that are WAY to young. And come on, people are not that smart at that age. This is why stuff like Madoka was terrible just based on the age of the characters. Am I really supposed to think that a group of 14 year old girls have that mature of thought processes. I can't tell you a single 14 year old that I have met that acts as mature or are as intelligent as anime seems to make them out to be...not that they don't exist, but it is at least 1 in 1000 or something.
Moral of the story: GIVE US SOME GROWN UP CHARACTERS THAT AREN'T IN SCHOOL!

They are gathering spirit energy from their fanbase for a Spirit Bomb attack.

Man, I remember someone telling me I shouldn't listen to those two particular releases because they supposedly sounded like Linkin Park at the time. On the other hand though, said person also told me that they liked the band when Gackt was the singer, so there's that...

sukekiyo new mini album "vitium" will be released on 2015.02.04.
 
no more detail yet.

Fair enough. Still, it's kind of hard to judge what this album is going to be like by the ten second samples that were posted. I want to say that it will have the same atmosphere as The Unraveling EP and the two singles, but this seems to be the album that samples their entire career so far.

Come on Kaoru, you can't just roll out of bed and take a pic

What the hell is Kyo wearing?
 

New looks just in time for Halloween or the release of another Kingdom Hearts game.

The concert heavily features videos from their Gauze era, including clips from the PVs of the songs they're playing. Always careful to avoid shots of the bandmembers, though. The only time they actually showed old band footage (during MASK) the bandmembers faces were all censored out. As intro they are using the Gauze -mode of adam- music and the video for it. 
 
It showed that its been a while since they performed many of these songs, now that I re-evaluate a bit, I'm not sure if the band actually felt "bored" about any of the tracks, but rather weren't used to it, because the delivery on the new song was also a little bit stiff. I'll report again a bit later in the tour to see if this has passed by then. 
 
Kyo were struggling with some microphone issues early in the concert but it was resolved during raison detre.
 
Info on the new track:
New song starts off with a atmospheric short intro with acoustic guitar, then goes into a complex and pretty rapid exchange between heavy tremolo picking reminiscient of black metal mixed with some punk-esque stuff and some short phases of more DSS sounds and also sections that sounds quite Gauze-y with clean guitars. Has a decently short guitar solo. There's no harsh vocals at all in the song. It's roughly three minutes long.
 
First impression is that they tried to squeeze a little too much stuff into a too short timeframe, but I'm sure it'll grow on me during the tour, the guitarwork is some of the best they've done so far, I like how its more riffing (BM style) than chugging.

Alt. important announcement: Official X-Japan Brand Chastity Belt.
 
Yoshiki quoted as saying: "With this tool, you too can experience our next album. No release!"

It was a short set but Hizumi sounded pretty well, probably better than he did last time I saw them in 2009. I think the short setlist was just trying to play it safe for the moment being, but as far as I understand it they're not ruling out further performances completely.
 
Hizumi also participated in the encore of Angelo singing one of their songs together with Hazuki from lynch. and the vocalist of RIZE.

I couldn't decide which is the appropriate response, so here's the top four that came to mind immediately upon seeing the picture:comment that came to mind:
 
"IKEA is really desperate in the Japan. Although, it appears that all parts seem to be in order." Fake edit: Edited due to the fact I read Shinya instead of Toshiya the first time around.

At least he's not as lazy as Lars Ulrich, right?
