violetchain got a reaction from -NOVA- in Crystal Lake Gt. Shinya Hori goes on hiatus
It says "pause activities", not "depart", so I think the idea is that he'll take a break and come back eventually? The wording they used doesn't make it sound like he wants out permanently.

violetchain got a reaction from ladyofshalott in Does technique matter to Japanese vocalists?
Maybe something like JAM Project? I don't know anything about vocal technique, but they all seem to sound pretty good singing into their 50s, so I'm assuming they're doing something right.
I'm not the biggest Galneryus fan, but I've always found YAMA-B's voice really striking as well. I think there's just something so charming about the way it pairs with the nerdy dad energy of his stage moves.

Maybe they just saw this April Fool's day joke and didn't look too closely at it?

Does the world even need VK trap when it's already got Shaka Bose out there looking like a character from Legend of Basara without any makeup on and making stuff like this

violetchain got a reaction from CAT5 in Most tasteful use of blackface in Visual Kei?
I mean, it's the exact opposite of "tasteful", but the MV for UCHUSENTAI:NOIZ's "Deadman's Rodeo Revolver" makes me uncomfortable for so many different reasons...

violetchain got a reaction from CAT5 in J-ROCK songs in EngRRRRrish THAT STILL KICK ASS ANYWAYS!
Almost every NOA song fits this description, IMO, but "sandglass" is one of the better examples.

Forgot one of my favourite examples. FABLED NUMBER's "YES" is such a fun song, despite the hilarious lyrics.

violetchain got a reaction from Rahzel in random thoughts thread
Eijun from THE BACK HORN apparently made a separate Twitter account to practice speaking English.
But he keeps accidentally mixing them up, which is pretty cute. 😅

violetchain got a reaction from secret_no_03 in Japanese Hip Hop/Rap
Shaka Bose is kind of hit or miss for me, but I like some of his tracks a lot. Sometimes he veers a little too close to a kind of pretentious college student who went backpacking through Asia vibe for my liking, but he balances it out well by bringing a bit of silliness into his stuff.

violetchain got a reaction from The Reverend in Japanese Hip Hop/Rap
I can't say I know much about Japanese hip-hop, but I've been liking a few of the kind of rock-influenced acts lately. Particularly TYOSiN, because he's got a vaguely emo/goth vibe going on - he almost looks VK sometimes, tbh. He's also got a big Hunter x Hunter Phantom Troupe tattoo on his neck, and I'm a huge Hunter x Hunter fan, so that helps.
I'm not wild about his older work, but from mid to late~2018 on I think he's kind of figured out what his strengths are.
I find Tohji's energy and sense of humour really charming as well.
I like Jin Dogg's dark, vaguely macho vibe too. I find his tracks a bit more hit or miss for my own personal taste than the other two, but I saw this MV the other day and thought it was cool. I think the kind of hoarse, high-pitched way he screams is charming.

violetchain reacted to Total Saikou in random thoughts thread
I went back to work today, which opened for the first time in the past month. In one 4 hour shift, one girl paid for a 30$ sweater with nothing but quarters, one lady made everyone wait 5 minutes in line while she phoned her sister to ask if she wanted an item, Karen asked to speak to the manager, I had to redo a 40+ item transaction 'cause the buyer didn't mention that they had status and one lady nearly cut one of our girls by smashing a glass vase by her feet. If buying VK shiet didn't make me broke, I swear...

violetchain got a reaction from nullmoon in POLL: Best time to take a shower
Definitely night for me, because my hair takes ages to dry and I like to have really long showers, so being rushed in the morning is no good. Also, you don't want to get all the dirt, germs and sweat from being out in the sun, commuting, etc. on your sheets and pajamas, so I think it makes the most sense to shower before bed.
I mean, that's not to say that I don't shower in the morning or afternoon sometimes if I feel like it, but generally I think the evening is the best way to go.

Haha, that clip is priceless (well, the original Japanese one, this one's the Chinese vers.). I love the part when Shin-chan says "Do you have a dick?" and IZAM deadass responds with "I sure do~!" COMEDY GOLD.

violetchain got a reaction from suji in The bad bandmen of VK bands
"vanilla midgets" is a well known term among wrestling fans - it comes from a rather infamous quote. It refers to a very specific type of wrestler, not just a person who is short.
