@DuwangYes, I went there and it was great!  The Ruido was pretty packed and they put on a flawless show with 11 songs overall (will update my post with the setlist later).  君、依存、タトゥー and ファッションメンヘラ are killer live songs, no question, but for me personally  笑顔でいるってめんどくさい  was the best song of the evening and I'm really looking forward to the studio version.  夜乙女 is "just" the average Shounenki-Song and didn't leave behind that much of an impression on me. 

They will release their 0th EP "君、依存、タトゥー" (1500 yen / live-limited)  on March 14th.
 
Tracklist:
君、依存、タトゥー 笑顔でいるってめんどくさい ファッションメンヘラ 夜乙女

Holy shit dat chorus

I FEEL THE SAME. it's so embarrassing that i had to wait until now for a band to write such ridiculously addictive tunes so consistently with ridiculously fun furi

Holy shit dat chorus

(Before that, I’m so sorry the length of this introduction reads like an essay but please bear with me ><)
 
I have many interests, but let’s talk about visual kei as this is the one constant that has taken up most of my life.
 
2009 was a time of change for me and visual kei. Ameba launched its virtual community Pigg, which instantly sucked the life out of me and as it turned out, so many vk bandmen had no life as well.
 
t's embarassing to talk about it now, but as teenagers with nothing better to do with our time, my friends and I would send as many friend requests as we could to band members and ‘stalk’ them whenever they logged online. Suddenly vk had become so much more intimate as we could interact with vk bandmen in real-time like never before.
 
But pigg was more than that. Some of my fondest memories have been the designated VK showroom where you could stream youtube videos to a crowd, meeting new people in the club rooms who share a common interest and of course having to witness the silly antics of some of those bandmen. I got to know a lot of bands that I would otherwise never had found out about, had conversations, learning about their personalities and interests. I also got to learn that some of the musicians in the darkest and heaviest bands have the cutest personalities behind the keyboard, fawning over the colourful array of virtual fashion items pigg had to offer. 
 
(Asanao from lynch. case in point)
 
It was a fun and unique experience. And at the same time, information was not only more accessible than ever before, but more abundant as well, and keeping up with blogs, news, forums, and playing pigg consumed every moment of my every day which back then, I had the time and youth to do so.
 
But eventually, I burnt out.
 
I attributed my losing touch with vk to information overload. It’s been more than 4 years since I stopped going on pigg and ameblo for good, but those few years of intense dedication, even today, felt like an aeon. 
 
I used to make a lot of parodies of bandmen, and loved deduction and connecting the dots - which bands had photoshoots at which set and making 6-degrees of separation connections between members of different bands and loved hearing stories from the past.
 
I also had a enthusiasm for drawing, having drawn over a ton bands over the course of 2 years between 2011 and 2012, but suddenly it’s 2016 and all I have are 3-year-old drafts and unfinished sketches. 
 
Everything had been halted because life kinda got in the way… shattered-tranquility had long stopped being my home page and my internet’s search history doesn’t remember vkdb.jp anymore.
 
Hmm.
 
So in that gap between about 2012 and now, I had the mother of existential crises, questioning whether I was really going to follow vk for life.
 
But my passion in the music is genuine and still alive.
 
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’ve been disconnected from the community that I love for far too long, and I don’t want that. I don’t want to forget the memories I’ve made, the bands that I’ve followed, the stories I’ve heard and the things I’ve learned along the way - be they good or bad. I don’t want my interest of VK to die, and I don’t want to stop making funny content about VK forever.  
 
(And most importantly, I don’t want to be the only VK fan in Australia that I know. So if you’re from Sydney, please hit me up so I don’t feel lonely :3)
 
I want this to be the place where I can share my knowledge about vk so ask me anything and I hope to relearn what I’ve lost these past few years. And once again, I’m astronomically sorry about the length of this introduction (I hope it was bearable).
 
Merry Xmas btw

Btw. they will hold their presents live tour "Eternal Love, Eternal Mates" since 02/01 at Holiday Next Nagoya and end it on 02/08 at Takadanobaba Area.
 
Their last One Man Tour "BLESS YOU" kicks off on 02/21 at Hiroshima Second Crutch and will end at Hiroshima Club Quattro on the 27th of April

@DuwangYeah, it was the same thing in Osaka and I think I read some interview, where they said they won't play them as Amai Bouryoku. But, I won't complain  
Sounds cool, I actually liked Dekiai Shitto as they played it Hakujitsus last oneman and I can't wait to get my hands on the songs.
 
Already bought my ticket for their first Osaka-One-Man.

I was honestly not expecting them to keep playing hakujitsu and kurohime songs and judging by the other fans' reactions when they started playing ichigo panic, I don't think anyone else was either. I don't know about the double oneman in Osaka but the double oneman in Tokyo felt like it was the last time they were gonna play those songs especially since Kou was tearing up at the end.
 
Anyway, as for the new songs besides uso kiss, I like Honnou the most. It's very upbeat and catchy and makes me want to jump from beginning to end even when I'm just listening to the CD.  Eiki was blowing a whistle at the live but there are no whistles in the recorded version. There's a siren??? type sound??? in the background throughout most of the song. I apologize I'm not very good at describing music so I can't really say much more than that.
Dekiai shitto is pretty generic and meh to me. Maybe it'll grow on me when I listen to the CD some more but as of right now I'm whatever about it. 
As for fashion menhera, they only played half the song before they ended their set but I liked what I heard. Another upbeat and energetic song. I'm sure it'll be on their first official release whenever that comes out. 
 
 
0:00 - 00:29 is uso kiss, 00:30 - 00:43 is dekiai shitto.

Those trolls xD I love them for it xD
