paradoxal

Not Shounenki. 0/10 desktop :/

I do think in theory this is a cool idea if people are dedicated, although it's going to take an incredible amount of time and effort to even preserve information about 5-10% of *everything* that has been released.
The longer you go back in time, chances of recovering such information diminishes exponentially. Sure there are people who collect the older stuff etc., but information like where/when/how, etc. are usually already lost.
Another thing: tracking down catalog numbers and tracklists for releases of bands like DEG and the GazettE is of course effortless. The challenge comes when we get to the really obscure bands that play at lives where 5 people attend and only sell stuff through mail order XD And then we have those "buy 2 T-shirts at our lives and we give you our newest single as a 'bonus'" kind of bands (say hi to nano mother Ted).
But yeah, if one day someone is insane enough to kickstart such a project, I'd be interested to help (if time permits)

Where are all my chapsticks when I really need them? I just keep buying one chapstick after another because I keep losing them in my gazillion different purses.

I bought like 5 copies of IN THE SUNLIGHT (and got bitched about it on that site that shall not be named by japanese fans lol) I would have bought it for pretty much up to 5 more people......... Though all of my transactions were carried out in Japanese on twitter so it was probably easy to overlook mine.... φ(._.; )
 
Speaking of my friend is going to be selling cheki & offering a shounenki shopping service since she goes to a lot of their Osaka lives if any of you guys are interested. I'll make a post about it on toomuchcheki soon....
 
I'm missing...
Akasha (( any free live distribute (I think there have been about three?) besides 宵花火 (yoi hanabi) ⇐ these are not listed on their OHP and are probably even harder to get than Akasha (°＿°) I don't even know their names I just saw the jackets on Rei's twitter one time and laid down in defeat Well, it's just a little over a week before BANG ME comes out hope you guys can survive until then \o/

I've been trying to find Akasha for a a year plus and no luck. Some of my favorite songs are on there... I honestly wish they would release a remastered version. One can dream right...
 
Bloom is a wonderful mini-album I highly encourage you to reconsider--and sooner rather than later. It's getting hard to find in Japan too If I'm not mistaken it's not available in physical stores anymore--only online shops that haven't sold out yet. I can't remember the last time I saw it in stores. 
And let's not forget on Bloom there is the treasure of a song I gonna fxxk you which has some great lyrics

Anyway, I would recommend grabbing it while there is still a chance because finding a physical copy of their CDs after it sold out is such a pain(°＿°)
 
 
If I'm not mistaken REVIVA is sold out according to OHP and is difficult to find. Like an Edison and Jishuban Club both still haven it listed without saying it's sold out but they might not have updated the pages.
 
 
As for BANG ME I am pretty sure I listened to the preview like 5 times total. But I am looking forward to it whenever that happens.

I got you, REVIVA's b-side is FANTASTIC, it's one of my favourite song !

Here you go para, I made you some eye candy.
 

I digged them even before Bang me, I think gazeru babel is a fantastic single. BUT this bang me shit is so addictive, I already love the song to death. I'm so jealous you've heard it live! Such a shame you can't remember much from it :<

You're welcome.  I can't be on this kick on my own!

Going to be honest, didn't know you guys were that into them :')  I really want to see Kou's reaction to knowing how many foreigners have fallen for the band. I mean, last year he was ecstatic simply by finding out that I followed him on twitter lol     I'm getting my copy of BANG ME from... Like an Edison Osaka? Whichever has Rei comment DVD. Because that dongus is my favorite.
If I recall I enjoyed BANG ME live?? But my memory of the live was 1) everything was fun (except that one MC before IN THE SUNLIGHT.. that was not fun.) 2) they did artlessness boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3) drink drank drunk.       ⇒I mentioned it in this thread, but I have a shop mostly for cheki and I'm selling some of shounenki. Kou's cheki has been claimed but I have the others up too. And when I see them again at the end of November I'll probably have more (also I have a cheki buying service listed on that page so I can buy cheki for people that day too...). Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any inquiries! I like to keep my discussions of transactions in one location, thanks

I had almost forgotten about BANG ME (I was very happy listening to avanchikku) until kyoselflove mentioned it again. Aaaaaaand here I am, listening to it for the 10000th time.

Is it heroin? Or cocaine? No one knows, but once you've got a taste of it, you can't live without it.
 
It's 9 days until the release date, and probably 2-3 days more until it gets leaked. That makes over 10 bangmeless days, over 10 days of torturing anxiety and thrilling excitement.
 
So gather up all the addicts, and let your feelings out.
 
Did you miss your father's birthday because you couldn't stop listening to the PV spot?
Is your BF going to break up with you unless you stop listening to the PV spot?
Did your cat die of hunger because you simply forgot to feed it?

It depends on what kind of VK you like. For someone who really likes eg. Royz, I wouldn't even compare them to GazettE, Alice Nine, ViViD or SuG. They all have their distinctive sounds. Though there are many bands that have the same synth-driven sound as Royz, I must say that you picked all the wrong bands
