  1. Pair of my headphones broke and I now know there is acoustic guitar and female (?) backing vocals in Girugamesh's INCOMPLETE. Amazing what goes into a song you may never notice.

      I brought them to Sony, they sent them to their lab and I get them back on Wednesday. They were playing only one part of the music, so I was hearing just like background guitar and voices lol.

      That's how this song works. After all, it's INCOMPLETE...

    One of many made-up stories about Gackt, with details that could so easily be proven if it actually happened, or a police report was ever filed, but for some reason the person decided to choose to just tell their rape story to tabloids and the internet instead. An insult to anyone that ever actually gets raped and would like the issue to be taken seriously.

    The price is for the premium edition made to celebrate his 45th single. Limited edition, best to buy off his store. Apparently you can strip the pillow and see it naked? Regular edition will be announced later at a low price. The Moon Saga album is a compilation of his live stage show from two years ago, and the new one for this year. It is specially made tracks for the performance he puts on. Limited edition comes with a classic styled fan. I also believe it is Gackt's birthday today, not sure how many hundred years old he is now.

      How is it compared to their previous album? It's barely downloading

      It is more straightforward, if you like their signature rock and slow song styles you'll like it.

      You're right about the slow songs but this one felt less rock-driven than their previous two. The guitars were slightly less audible (probably due to mixing), but the songs were catchy and energetic for sure.

    Damn, lol. They have great physiques and are probably nattie so even I was mirin`that promo.

    Girugamesh, Versailles, Kamijo, Sid, Unite, Div, Alsdead, D.I.D., Miyavi, Aoi, SuG, Matenrou, D Out, Kra, Dog in the PWO, Bug Lug, Lillith, LMC and more have all put out releases I would range from Good to Great in the last year or two, some are among my favorite albums and singles of all time. A lot of acts that people seem to find harder to take seriously, for sure, but I think the music speaks for itself.

    I think you both have good points and opinions, no need to fight over it, the argument was good enough without throwing in shots to immaturity and ego. I think it is good to have elders opinions on things, if they are agreeable or not. They have a certain passion for their music and the landscape of Japanese rock, just as you do, Blackdoll. Even if they see things differently than you, they are speaking from the same kind of love that you are, they just have love for different things, and see those as important. I think to dismiss all of current VK is a little brash, and a lot of us disagree with that, esp. when those statements come from an era many of us loved, and where many VK fans were made (09-10). I think business-wise, VK stagnated after Luna Sea and X Japan started phasing out, but even then there were a few top bands who were huge, and many smaller bands without as much revenue. Music wise, I can find great VK music from every year, even today, I feel like the quality has never dropped off, styles and looks have dropped in populaity, but we have constant waves of great bands coming in that are far from generic or plain copies. There were always generic bands and copies, and it is debatable that the VK elders opinions on copying and being over-produced are very valid, as Blackdoll put it, it certainly is hypocritical when: X Japan, Luna Sea, Buck-Tick, Color were all heavily influenced by different Rock genres and styles from America and Europe / UK. Dir En Grey were very heavily influenced by older bands, and even their band name and stage names are products of their environment. X Japan was produced to hell and back by their studio and Yoshiki, who was a perfectionist. Luna Sea had huge production quality, and got more and more into almost cinematic album sounds and musical atmospheres. Dir en Grey may come in with heavier sounds, and rough around the edge tone, but they got their start with Yoshiki producing them, their releases using special booklets, writings and pictures to attract attention, and the fact that all of their demo`s sound vastly different than the studio product after an engineer and producer get their hands on them. As for the fan-girl thing, that has always been the case for music and most media, starting with Bards in the middle-ages to Frank Sinatra and how the studio system really took off, to The Beatles, who are the most revered band of all time yet got over by trying to pack in young girls, and pipe in the sounds of girls screaming to incite the crowd to follow along and produce `BeatleMania`. Then Rock Bands that followed such as Led Zeppelin, to Glam Metal etc... The fanbase has always had packs of rabid fan-girls, that is how the business is, and the gender or hysteria of a fanbase, as well as the bands branding, is no indication of musical quality. Yoshiki still plays the piano with an orchaestra behind him to girls crying in the crowd to this day, far from `pop music crap`. There was probably some other things I wanted to say, but whatever, I forget.
  15. No matter how much you want to push and flop, Japan plays with guts, dominating the game. Even if they dont win the game, they play like real champions.

    ALS TV VOL. 1 They talk about what is new, Nikky, what is coming up music and live wise. Starless PV starts at around 2:00, another preview almost same length as on DC Youtube. 'Karaoke' starts at around 28:00, more comedic than musical. Seems like they have good chemistry in any case.

    Not including shipping, it just applies to the declared cost of the items.From my experience I have a lot of knowledge of shipping and customs. Also have direct cell phone numbers of people at FedEx and other carriers as well as Customs personnel. If anything is up I can call them for info or to work something out. But for people that dont have this luxury I definitely advise to look into shipping in 50-55 dollar values and calling FedEx if they ever charge you (Call number, say English, then say customs or billing, then say operator) they will either explain how to work it out or email you the forms to file for a contest of charges. On the form state you are receiving a gift valued at under 60 dollars of goods that are not available through any domestic retailer. If you are charged for extra handling state your parcel was packaged in a small standard cardboard box that requires no extra handling, and definitely does not exceed any weight or dimension limits, and falls under a common HS Tariff Number. There should be no issue.
  19. In case you didnt know, big sale on CDJapan 10-90% off.

      They also double the bonus points. Massive order placed before the big sale = Cancelling an item from that big order. Re-buy the cancelled item. And then, move all others items from the massive order, and put them with this newly re ordered item. The order date is now change to benefit the double bonus points ^_^ I always do that lol

    Custom fee for anything over 60 dollars. No extra handling charges as that is supposed to be factored into FedEx's charge, any increase upon delivery would be contestable as it is deceptive to customers unless the package is actually needs special treatment not specified by the shipper. I split my orders to be under 60, usually an album and two singles, if need be use my points to lower the total cost. Cheaper to buy them like that as two shipping charges are cheaper than a shipping charge and customs for one package.
  21. Tetora

    It must be because you arent in a major city brah. When I ship to Montreal it has never been over 20-30 dollars overnight express with Fedex. Both home delivery and to the business sector are equally inexpensive, sorry to hear you gotta pay so much. To the person not having their packages marked as gifts, I recommend complaining to CDJapan as that shouldnt happen if your order is under the value limit. Tell them you are going to make your purchases elsewhere if they cannot amend the issue as other businesses are providing the services they are not in your case. Unless they have specific issues with your country's authorities, then they should fix it and/or put credit into your account. Technically it is illegal in many countries, but it is a service they offer anyway and other people are getting the benefit from.
  22. Almost time for Samurai Blue to make their comeback! 絶対諦??????!

  23. Haha. I think after his huge Vampire movie Warner was like okay chill with the videos for a bit Kamijo, film these next two on this stage with my sisters in the background. I was hoping for a set-piece in a French setting... But ah well... As for profits he is definitely raking in the cash, him and Jupiter are always the top sellers in their category, when they both were releasing at the same time they had four out of the five top VK sales on numerous places. The other was Mejibray in fourth place for example.
  24. So what does everyone think about the Moulin Rouge single?

      The title track ended up being better than I thought it would be, but it really isn't a song style I enjoy. As I stated before, I'm really not into sexxxy swing songs in vkei. I haven't heard any of the B-sides yet, so I cannot say anything about them.
