Tetora

I completely understand.
Music is a diverse wonderful thing, it is something with many different styles and variations, so its natural that not everything is going to appeal to everybody.
 
while I do see a good potential market and fanbase for Deviloof, by no means do I think that everyone will like what they have to offer.
 
my goal is to work closely with a handful of bands (expanding as time and means allow) and to provide occasional assistance to several bands.
that way hopefully there will be something everybody enjoys somewhere in the mix.
and of course thank you for your continued support of Rides In ReVellion!

V STAR PROMOTION is very happy to announce that from this day onward, we will be working with the band
 

Deviloof!
 
V STAR PROMOTION and Deviloof will be working closely together to guarantee that their music is available worldwide.
Of course we will also make sure all information about the band is easily accessible to fans worldwide!
 
Please look forward to releases on iTunes, a multi-language official Facebook, subtitled music video, and many other great things.
 
From this moment on, we at V STAR PROMOTION ask that you kindly welcome Deviloof.

Live photography was taken at a MORRIGAN live.
Please look forward to these pictures in the near future.
Now I will start two planned meetings for tonight!

After an astronomical gamut of rumors, speculations and reports, Utada finally stepped in to announce that her hiatus will end on April 4th - and to quote Ronald@Arama briefly:
 
In addition:
 
She will also reveal the current situation of her album songwriting process on the same day.
 
This is not news really but at least she herself confirmed it this time.

・「2020秒でわかる西川ちゃんの20年」

LUNA SEA new song "Limit" will be theme song of TV anime "エンドライド(endride)" since 2016/04/02

I loved it!! This album will be perfect like always! <3

Wow.
 
After 9 and then Supernova I became much less of a fan of the band, which was possibly my favorite up until (and including) Gemini.
 
From then on I saw that the band changed a lot, and always seemed overworked while having uncharacteristic output gaps in content (same as SuG before they left).
 
Now I see that they are making a statement about themselves and how they feel, and I not only like the music more, and have that old feeling back where I can`t wait to see what they do next, I also respect them much more.
 
Rebellion is obvious in terms of what they are saying, as is the Phoenix title. But I could also interpret the mask he is wearing as another form of `rebellion` as they started really pushing Shou as a pretty-boy for fans, and started heavily marketing their looks more and coming out with different editions of CD`s with designs based only around each member`s faces (similar marketing started for ViViD, based all around their good looks). So I find it cool that they made a PV not showing his face, putting more emphasis on the music.
 
As for the crowd-funding, I was not sure how to feel, since I know they are still a huge draw in terms of CD sales and tickets as well as merchandise, so I wondered why they needed to do this, and checked out the official page for it as well as some more info.
 
On the page itself, they talk about not agreeing with the way sales are done, getting people to buy the same stuff, and charting etc... And that they were being moved away from what they felt was an emphasis on making good music, to an emphasis on something else. So it seems they are using crowdfunding to have more control over their own work, and develop a new kind of relationship with their fans.
 
My main issues would be that we are kind of paying twice for the product, since we already buy the albums, tickets, etc... And that some fans would pay larger amounts, although it`s their own money and their own decision, and due to the size of their fan-base, if theoretically 50k people put in 100 yen each, then the project is fulfilled. I`ll see how it develops.
 
Just my thoughts on the news.
 
EDIT:
 
Crowd-Fund Project is to fund the recording, PV shoot, and other things like promotional material, so they can do it all independently. When they reach their target they will also make an additional PV. Any additional funds raised will be used to `increase quality` of their works in terms of recording, equipment used, etc... They will show all financial data, and gifts for supporters include early access to tracks, HD tracks, track data (such as vocal only, drum only tracks, etc...) And I just noticed the page has an English option so everyone should be able to read it.

some songs are worth singing your heart out. Some have lyrics you just wanna mount on the wall and gaze at it. Lyrics that are just so sad or so romantic that you just cry when it comes up.
 
I would post all the lyrics to Reila because the whole song is just beautiful
 
Ophelia- L'arc~en~ciel "My dearest Ophelia, whats the reason for your silence? You're lips as cold as ice. My dearest Ophelia- won't you speak to me no more
 
Ain't Afraid to die- Dir En Grey " while I was alone by the window, just staring by the window, I'ts you I reminisnce . You appeared through the glass and I gave you the last kiss. Hey smile . Don't cry anymore. From now on, I'll always be watching you."
 
Without You- Yoshiki "And I only look back. I feel alone. How should I love you? How could I feel you?"
 
Crucifiy My Love- XJapan " Like a river flowing to the sea. You'll be miles away and I will know. I know I can deal with the pain. No reason to cry"
 
Gypsy- Lycaon- the whole song
 
 
Plastic Tree- Donna Donna whole damn song. Seriously the guys voice T_T
 
For some reason Ic an't think of any romantic songs D: i gotta dig thru my playlist D;
 
So whats yours?

waah, lucky fans that get to attend this event! I just hope no one gets touchy feely with him..

鞭棄(佐伯大地) / 赤座(深水元基) / 紅悦(森野美咲) / カナブン(武瑠 from SuG):

fukai no yami, freesia, owari to mirai, real my place...there's no competition sorry!

Janet: how are you today blackdoll?
blackdoll: Grim, but thanks for asking.
 
Janet: So this is your first time doing a interview, is there any reason why you decided to do it now?
blackdoll: Not really, i felt like it was about time, you know. Been in the business for a while and now is a good spot.
 
Janet: Okay. So, you and your  ex-husband, Aferni, have just recently divorced and left the company, can you tell us about that.  
blackdoll:Well if you follow us, you would have saw signs of the "relationship" falling apart. I think we were on different pages from the beginning but it was nice. Honestly there is noting bad i can say about our time together. 
 
Janet: So, it had nothing to do with @Tetora?
blackdoll: No, we had a open nonsexual relationship. Like dating a stripper, and i flirt with anyone who is shows signs of hotness. 
 
Janet: But you two are dating now, correct?
blackdoll: Not exclusively, there is also @CAT5 from rival company Mods Inc. and I plan on asking out the cute coffee shop guy @Pho, i've been eyeing him for a minute. 
 
Janet: So is there some beef between you and @emmny?
blackdoll:no not really, it's all friendly. I guess it's okay for @CAT5 to give other people presents that last forever. You can't expect to keep an R&B singer to yourself, ya know.
 
Janet: Okay thank for scoop on the gossip, but what do you like to do for fun with all that money when your not working?
blackdoll: Nothing out of the ordinary, watch TV, dance, play with my voice, write. I would like to paint and play tennis but at the moment I'm to lazy.  
 
Janet: Speaking of writing you named Nicki Minaj as you current favorite writer, why is that.
blackdoll: The confidence she projects forward, i want to be in that. Also as some young folks say "she is my spirit animal." But now i am beginning to  not be so sure about that. Rachel Bloom, YouTube Comedian to Golden Globe winner, seems to be up there too with her team of Zach Sherwin, Adam Schlesinger.
 
Janet: I hear you are going to join the written class of royalty with majority stock owner @kyoselflove, is it true.
blackdoll: Yes but only because business is so rapid, that @kyoselflove's country isnt big enough so we have to open up another country, call Dollkinavia. 

Janet: Sounds interesting anything else going in the company?
blackdoll: @yakihiko founder of Yaki's weddings & co and i have teamed up and are selling clothes all over the globe, and sales are great.
 
Janet: @yakihiko the one who designed and made your wedding dress you posted of your private Instagram? 
blackdoll: Yeah it was so good, i felt like the world needed Yaki's clothes, such a talented individual, smart too so i dont have to worry about them getting screwed, so that's why they are still an independent brand.
 
Janet: What was the Wedding like anyway, it was so secretive.
blackdoll: Well yeah, my life is private for the most part, but we got married on the set of Scream, the first movie, and had the reception at the set of the black swan's the hopeless PV. Small group of friends, since Lycaon had disbanded, we got @Zeus to DJ for hefty cost. 

Janet: Thanks for opening up. I hear the office is kind of crazy, whats behind that?
blackdoll: Well we have some theme days, cant mention them though.
 
Janet: Okay, tells about the anti smoking anti drinking campaign?
blackdoll: it's simple, they take people's money, and make people stink, on a simple level, and death on the bigger level.
 
Janet: What is something you are looking forward to?
blackdoll: Going on holiday with @Tetora

Janet: Anything else you want to say?
blackdoll: To readers, don't let anyone push you around.

I like it. Reminds me of a techno club version of 漂流彼女

I dig it, I think I'm really gonna love this EP

Song is nice enough but you would think for an album called "EDR" they'd have a bit more energy in the video. 

I quite like the song! It's lacking a certain punch, but I don't mind that. I'm just not sure it works as the lead single from the release.

What's up with Satoshi's stand-up drumming again though? Is that just what he does now?
Interesting! It reminds me of a more electronic version of "milky latte". Plus, the goldfish in the cup reminds me of the goldfish on the cover art for that single!

It's official, I'm in love with song and pv, I have easily watched it more than 10 times just today.

I just love Chisa's voice it sounds so well with edm also, so I'm okay with their progression

BFN- Song after song were basically a hit or miss. Songs like "Change to chance" and "Midnight Coaster", "UW" and "Dance to rave" and a couple of others were good but some...its like "Ice honey, stop screaming". Some songs were just corny like D;
