SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!! <3333 PERFECT <3333

youtube illegal uploaders are shit noodles, this is the most essential point.
everyone knows the bands do have their own youtube accounts, but they still upload illegally, what are they thinking? brainless.
if you wanna spread the sound, just promote them secretly. Japanese bands don't equal unsigned western bands, dat's it.
 
hmm, about D.I.D. themselves, I still have highly hope on them, cuz I really appreciate their rerecordings. I started to listen to them since the very beginning of Para:noir, I couldn't forget my excitement about listening to "The Virtue" for the first time when the single was out there.

I feel so bad too. And angry. People can't understand that uploads won't help them. And I'm afaird because of Issei. Previous time he was so mad at all of fans because someone uploaded their single to YT too. They are not fans......... If people wouldn't upload stuff maybe bands would keep going for a longer time.......

JIBUN is so gooooooood! Its a really.... adult? song. So much better than their first major single.

I want him to go back to his visual style. :/

Absolutely. I remember that post w/ the picture of the lyrics and was surprised.
The only instance i'd seen them interacting prior to that was w/ one picture with him and Yo-shit backstage. 
 
Very thoughtful of him and the entire band *standing claps*

Shiina has a lot of respect for his elders. When xTRiPx disbanded, he went to their last live and made a huge post about how he was a huge fan, how they inspired and encouraged him when he was starting, how was sad to see them going.
 
Which is quite nice and humble for him to say, since UNiTE. is probably way more sucessful than xTRiPx ever was. Shiina seems to be a really nice guy, all props to him.

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.

This makes me smile & almost cry in so many ways hah
The post is sad but also very touching how he writes about his close friend, wishing Tohma & D.I.D all the very best
 
God I love you Akane
may they rock this last live I wish I could attend it's sounds like it's gonna be SICK

Was not expecting the song to be this upbeat (going off the look), but I still dig it. 
I'll be jamming out to this A LOT. 

Oh my fucking god I love it!!!!!!!!

woah easy there ... Unite. is a good band 

YUKIYA has mentioned that such collaboration is related to his friend (who is his friend for >20years), who introduced 椎名未緒(shiina mio) to YUKIYA in 2011, and 椎名未緒(shiina mio) has previously attended various JILS live as fan
 
as relationship between YUKIYA & 椎名未緒(shiina mio) has deepened, they consider to try to do something together, especially 2016 is important anniversary for YUKIYA, as well as 5th anniversary for ユナイト(UNiTE.), and such collaboration is decided

Laputa manager when debut-->PIERROT manager-->MUCC manager-->L'Arc～en～Ciel manager-->(temporarily work outside visual scene)-->ユナイト(UNiTE.) manager-->live production-->JILS & Kαin live production

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...

Do you wish they would tour in your nation?
reunite?
become bigger than the Beatles?
Go back to the old ways?
etc.
 
I wish Reign would come out with a full PV
I wish Kameleo's yt stints were subbed
I wish Lycaon would reunite
I wish Kento (Subaru's twin) would be more vocal (talk, do skits with BP records, sing!)
I wish codomo dragon, kameleo, avd many "indie" bands were more popular

i wish koichi would breakdance on stage

Yuuki (Lycaon): Rap, R&B, Arabic pop kind of songs, deathcore(harsh vocals >= 60% of the song), Brutal deathcore(harsh vocals >= 60% of the song), Beatdown(harsh vocals >= 60% of the song), K-pop covers, Rentrer en soi covers, Dir en grey covers, a the Gazette cover, K-pop level or higher choreography, twerk, Model, Have his own perfume line. have his own clothing line, become a rich as aunt Nicki Minaj (who rap for his music/voice), be a global icon that show males they don't have to be hardcore men(totally masculine), come tour near me so i can see his ass live, become an actor, learn English, Arabic, and Korean,
