Anyone else CONSTANTLY get hit with ads for TOKYO on Youtube now? Why thy have to tease me like that?

Decided to not attend a single event (due to injury) and Mark Cuban ended up coming. Missed the chance to see him, and my friends have pics chilling with him and are bragging non-stop.

New UNiTE is so fresh. Signature sound and elements but used in a new way with an unusual structure and delivery. New DIV, I dunno, such a laidback sample, need to hear more to get a feel for where this is going.

If you are broke you have bigger issues than being entertained, especially being spoonfed every single piece of entertainment that you demand when there is already an endless supply of free entertainment available to you. It's clear that this whole viewpoint on not 'sharing' (a term used to put some kind of bs feel good spin on giving out other people's hard work for free) being 'selfish' (because you are entitled to the labor of other people while you sit at home) is a load of crap solely fabricated to rationalize taking as much as you can from others while not giving back. And give us a break with the whole theory that a band dies because not enough people got their work for free, especially with a live DVD. It's not up to 'fans' with no experience in the record industry and possibly no work experience what-so-ever to decide what marketing plan should be used. It is far from elite to buy a cd or dvd, and if you don't care about the opinion's of others then ignore them, they didn't exactly insult you, but you sure are condescending to them. Lately you post very frequent negative comments and conspiracy theories over and over in different topics but the second someone disagrees with you or has another point of view you snap. Nobody is trying to stop you from believing that downloading is helping a band stay alive, or that the Earth is flat or whatever equally believable thing you want to post, so give other people the same respect and let them say what they want on a site that is based on discussion. If you want to argue then do it in a civil manner and don't post rhetoric theories and act like everyone who doesn't agree with you is an elitist jerk killing the record industry. Just my opinion. Anyway, to pretend to be on topic: Cool band, hope to see what they come up with next.

New Umbrella track is growing on me, loved their last release as well.
-
Really like the new ViV, especially EMOTION. But WHY April release!?

Had スタア区 and LOAD MY HEART on my mind all night.

Still hard to believe the standard quality of PV's with modern technology. Even the small bands often have great images.

Hard work pays off! After a massive flood, in three days the club looks brand new again and we had a huge night. Been stepping up my music and reaping the benefits as well. Time for the next big step. Need to BREAK OUT of another comfort zone and take some risks. Nothing to it but to do it.

I had a crap weekend and day today as well due to various disasters, but reading Ameba after I left the office cheered me up. First I read all the happy birthday's to LiN, then I read Akane's last as it looked like a novel. The member's who stuck by Akane through everything are real brah's who you would want to have your back, especially Tohma. They never gave up on the dude, and it is sad to see him have to go, but it seems like he has a strong reason to. D.I.D. really has alot of potential and had to overcome a lot but they still haven't given up so I can still respect them even if they have not been pushing out new music like people demand. I have all their music up until W.O.D., and I will resume following them hoping to see them accomplish what they are capable of.

Fuark the whole club FLOODED. I was trying to move and protect everything valuable while water poured on me like a Shounenki video. But instead of Rainwater it was PISSWATER!
-
That feel when you spot a MH member on Youtube and look through all their video history... Hehehe, I see EVERYTHING.
-
??公平??。Don't want to cut my hair, gonna lose some VISUAL POWER. But it is that time again... And will get it colored. Scoping out new styles to put in.

FUARK! My phone is blowing up with my boys telling me the news, big return on RAW tonight, a true hero.

girugamesh should have played as well during halftime, need some heavy bad@ss tunes to get me amped.

Strong rumour mill churning. Sales peaked at Rank 82 in the charts, lasting one week on the charts; their last three single being their most popular. Not high enough to be a moderately successful Indie band by chart measure alone, but not a disaster for bands in that stage of their lifecycle. There are many bands who have lasted longer with similar or even lower sales, and have been on a bigger label. They also had no major work to act as their defining moment in early career, you have to sort through shorter releases and receive a mixed bag sound wise. Though the label has been pushing them producion and promotion wise to gain an audience, and their last PV is not location heavy but has better production than bands in the top ten of Oricon, so I would say there was a lot of expectation for them similar to the expectation that me and other fans had for a band that was so skilled in blending pop hooks into rock music. They definitely could have gained traction, and been more successful, in my opinion. First, they had an unpopular release approach, no album and single after single, meaning lower output of songs compared to other bands, also meaning live shows had a redundancy to them since you were always seeing a very similar performance. Second, hard to pin down Shounenki sound signature, since their releases changed quite a bit, most new acts develop a distinct callingcard first then branch out, developing their demographic then pushing the boundary. Harder to pin down Shounenki sound and attract the market for it, even if there is one. Then you have the style of vocals and style of band possibly clashing. Differing songs including drastic changes in some B-sides, there is a possibility that not all members always agreed or wanted to focus on making that kind of music. And again, may be hard for some fans to follow,or choose Shounenki as 'their band' when you never know what you're going to get. Most creators with a business plan develop a base first. After that, they are all young and you never know what is going to happen, we don't know the labels plans, what kind of pressure they were under, if the label can afford all their bands at the moment, if the members can afford it, if there was a strong leader in the band, or if they had differing personalities or some major issue arise, if all members can handle the not-so-easy task of writing songs in great number to meet a schedule, etc... Anyway, just my speculation, don't know why I wrote this. Great band, hope to hear of a new group forming soon, they could have went places, if the vocalist especially forms a new group, he especially can go places, etc...

On that Baroque time. Hope they come out with a lot more music.

Yeah same thing brah, no clue where to find most of my cd's and games. But I do love Bach, I used to play a lot of his stuff on guitar or organ setting on synth. I was playing something the other day, forget the name but it is arpeggios of C, DmC, G7B, C and it keeps going like that. Good to practice changing chords on guitar.

Time for PSC to take their own advice and create some offense. Build up some new bands. New vid looks cool even if we heard a lot of it. Push White Kicks for starts. Also push Kra and Tequila, so much potential just sitting.
-
-
Yeah there are people who care more about following the PSC name than the music itself, you know that's not my style though. I don't have all Lotus releases but I enjoy what I have heard. You not still hanging on to ex-ViV like Reno? Me and Yakihiko are hoping and praying White Kicks or something like it gets rolling.

Feel like using a little creativity when I have the time to make something about VK. Not sure what though. Some kinda new list or review or something.

SID and AKi need to give me more synth tracks like laser and In Vain, those tracks are hot fire. When I listen to them the floor is LAVA.

I always heard about old people having heart attacks and stuff, so I always go out and shovel the snow for everyone on my street. I used to do this all day and ask for money when I was a kid but now I just do everyone on my block for free, since they are all old geezers. If you just go out first thing in the morning and do it fast it is really a workout so I can see how old people have issues.
