do you think they meant "lie about world" hmm

I assumed they were going for "layabout world", like a world full of lazy people?

I've always had kind of mixed feelings about FIXER, but I'm liking this one so far.

Happy Death Day (2017) - Kind of cliche at times, but it was a fun watch.

 

Also watched Cell 213 (2011), which was one of the worst things I've seen in a while. Cute lead actor though. Was kind of amused to see Michael Rooker in it. 

Oh wow, I didn't realize that Dan Green played both Yugis - somehow I always assumed he was only Yami Yugi. Didn't realize that he was Kevin Mask from Ultimate Muscle either.

 

 

Dark Seek is pretty dreamy, IMO, and I kind of love Lida's Shadow look as well.

 

The Light look is a bit too goofy, but I always appreciate the fact that PLC go all-out, no matter how tacky it looks. There are so many mediocre-looking VK bands out there, and sometimes it's refreshing to see someone really going for it and using absolutely everything in the box of clearance materials instead of just sticking some ruffles and an eyepatch on and calling it a look.

Great news, this feels long overdue for them.

Office (2015), the Korean horror movie. It wasn't bad, but I swear I've seen the same sort of storyline in a ridiculous number of Asian horror movies, and I'm kind of sick of it.

 

I related a little too much to the main girl though. I feel like I would probably be the same sort of person if I worked in a corporate office - wandering around wide-eyed, looking scared and vaguely oblivious in my semi-sensible heels, and generally just trying a bit too hard. 

I like the song, and they're really bringing the production values with this one. 

I'm not very confident about this one. I think it's a relatively straightforward song, but I feel like I'm just reading some of the lines wrong...

 

Feel free to let me know if you have any corrections.

Lyrics: Loki

Music: JUDYJun

 

Under the chilly crescent moon,*

We keep our voices down

Lost in the forest in the dead of night,

Let’s take each other’s hands

The grinning mad kitten looking down at us, acting needy,**

Invites us to join in by sticking out its velvety tongue

 

I’ve been taken prisoner

Embraced so tightly that I can’t break free

Entranced by that white skin, I’m bound and melting away

Staying like this, forever lost in a dream,

That’s not a bad idea, right?***

 

Ah, even if I open my eyes wide,

Its figure immediately conceals itself

But it’s a capricious thing****

 

During the soft and dim full moon,

We shout ourselves hoarse

In the pitch black room we’ve run into,

Let’s kiss

 

That’s it, let’s dance

Until the night turns to dawn and we wake up

When we’re entwined this tightly,

No one can get in our way

 

“Don’t leave me - never again”

Those words are like chains,

Eating away at me relentlessly like a curse

 

I’ve been taken prisoner

Embraced so tightly that I can’t break free

Entranced by that white skin, I’m bound and melting away

Staying like this, forever inside of you,

That’s not a bad idea, right?***

That’s it, eternally…

 

Under the chilly crescent moon,*

We keep our voices down

Lost in the forest in the dead of night,

Let’s kiss

 

Notes:

*,**,***, ****I'm a little worried about these lines in particular

Are you sure Band 1 wasn't metronome?

 

 

Oh wow, I didn't know there was video from metronome and PLC's session together on YouTube. 

 

 

Sharaku and Daishi is a hilariously awkward combination.

I don't understand why they feel like firing someone is "selfish?" Like, he's fucking up your shows, which in turn annoys your fans and hurts you sales + live attendance.

 

 

If he's dead weight, drop him.

I think the issue is that they haven't actually been able to contact him yet, so they don't know if he's just being immature and avoiding their calls or if he's actually like dead in a ditch somewhere or something?

Too bad it didn't work out with NANA, but this could be a good opportunity for them. I liked his voice, but it did feel like something about him was a bit too plain next to the other members. Curious to see who they end up with.

Is Blood Stain Child even VK?

No. You could make an argument for Ryu, maybe, but that's about it.

雪 (Yuki) is 基 (Motoi ex-Daydala)

Ohh! I was wondering why they were coming up in my Twitter feed. 

 

Hope they sound better than Daydala, because he seems like a character.

I've been kind of lukewarm about Chanty for ages, but I really love that 貴方だけを壊して飾ってみたい song, and the new one sounds good as well, so I'm curious to hear what the rest of the album will sound like.

I kinda love this look, tbh.

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty underwhelmed with this one as well. It is only a short clip though, and I wasn't into Tsuyokute NEW GAME at all either when it was first uploaded, so I'm trying to be optimistic. 

I really love the furitsuke for Jack Caper's "Kani Kani Carnival". The crabwalking is great.

And it's 2,500 yen. That's a lot for a single with really only 1 new song on it.

 

Even if they sell all 100 copies, they'd only make about $2,330.00 ... I'm not really sure what the point is? I'm sure it costs more to edit and produce a music video, let alone pay a graphic designer for album art, pay to have the CDs physically produced, pay to have it recorded and mastered, and then pay all of the members for recording it. Vkei has a lot of ~magic money~ and I'm really unsure of how it logistically works.

I'd guess that it's only live-limited for the moment and they're going to put the song (or a slightly different version of it) on an album later or something, making the "exclusive" content for this single the B-sides, MV and making-of? That, or Kiwamu just did all the graphic design and filmed and edited the video himself to make it as cheaply as possible, which isn't really out of the question given his track record.

 

My main issue is, what's the point of wearing an eyepatch when his hair is already covering his eye anyway?

I kinda like it, tbh, since I've got a bit of a weak spot for picoreamo.

 

I feel like there's definitely potential. Could be interesting to see how they sound after a few releases, if they last that long.

 

I'm curious about how they work the "idol" bit in though...

I started getting interested More a few weeks ago and came across that Youtube video, but I totally missed the download link and just ripped the audio as one file to listen to it. Thanks for pointing that out! 

 

I really love the collab track. 

Sharaku looks great! 

Chazz it up! is still basically the only good part of GX.
