I think most people expressed what I have been thinking.
I found out about them back in like 2013 and honestly never bothered with anything from the era with Tora.
I'm not surprised but pretty disappointed. I figured they'd just be around forever since they've already been around forever while staying at the same small size.
I agree that MANJ"'s back problems can't go unmentioned and are probably a factor. He's one of the best drummers I've ever seen and I can't imagine him taking the task of an official band again but I hope he doesn't retire entirely...
I've seen them about 10 times and have had a lot of memories from those lives--catching Jon before his ass fell on the ground, Ryuga pulling me in to shout into the mic, saizen in front of Tsubaki, drinking with friends after seeing them, etc. etc.
I can't believe it's been about a year since I've seen them....... orz
They've always been good live. But my problem with them is less their performance but more their range. A lot of their songs are amazing but if you listen to them all together it all kind of sounds the same.
Really bummed I can't go to their last live. At the very least I guess I will go see them on Tuesday since they are in Osaka then.
As for fav release it'd have to be brave
It has some of my favorite songs of theirs: brave, MADIA, 鬼哭啾啾

@Alkaloidyeah, after Haru left.
I really want to be more into them than I actually am tbh but every time I see them or listen to them all I think is that I'd rather see/listen to Cradle.
but they did say at least that they wouldn't be stopping activities so I guess maybe they'll continue as a four person band??
-
They also debuted as an official band at Crimzon's label event earlier this year.
Pretty sure they're Crimzon.
Just might not be able to say it officially right now tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
Guitarist Shin and drummer Keita will leave Starku.
Shin, who has been absent from lives since August for medical reasons if I recall, will not be able to return.
Keita's last live will be September 26th. He is leaving due to family reasons.
From October 2nd they will have a support drummer.

ah, mikoto also beat us with a huge tanuki toy at the live during the tanuki song xD.....
Well, the shikiri and many other saizen girls are with them since Ray°C xD so they are fine with it, i guess? the biggest worry for some of them in the beginning was the huge change of music from otoiroha to zigzag.
i didn't really talk to them about specific songs or had a very deep convo about it but we did talk about how interesting the lyrics are and they still go to the lives and love these bandmen xD so...
they like never play the tanuki song anymore lmao I haven't heard it live actually
but yeah they're getting pretty big! I can see them selling out Osaka MUSE in the future.
their recent onemans were really packed apparently.
I'm really curious what the shusais will be like especially since the second one they've got their name spelled in romaji.
they're so fun, I'm really looking forward to whatever's coming up for them
maybe one day i'll actually buy merch and not just the CDs............
also with the new outfits aoshi has this gigantic fur hood/hat thing that's hilarious imo
-
are we just talking about at one time or in general?
Let's see Souiumono's probably the band I've dropped the most cash on.
I've seen them the most besides maybe Ensoku, been to their in stores the most, bought the most CDs, cheki etc of theirs.
In one go:
Plane: $300 maybe
Hotel: -- (stayed at a friends)
Ticket folder (6 tickets): $180
Ticket for actual concert: $30? + $5+ for drink
Cheki: probably like $30~$50
SO I guess the total was about $550
Which to be honest wasn't that uncommon for me at one point--the plane ticket was almost always $280~360 whenever I had to fly to Tokyo from 2012-2015. Sometimes I stayed at hotels for days to a week at a time which really put a dent in my wallet haha
um let's see
So I am assuming an average price since receipts will only make me weep and are probably nonexistent and this point.
When I was living in Shimane Tokyo costs were assumed to be $320, Osaka $100, etc.
Ticket prices were assumed the average of $40 (this is to include the drink ticket price).
CDs, as much as I would love to include the ones I bought on behalf of others, I only included the ones I bought for myself.
costs of following Souiumono in general
Travel (plane, bus, shinkansen): ~$5,000
Hotel cost: incalculable sorry I can't even begin to guess
Cheki: $900 (60 x 3 x 5)
CDs: ~$550
Goods (towels, scrunchies, etc): ~$200
Tickets: ~$1,120
Grand total?: $7,770~$12,000+
That's probably a low estimate tbh and remember I don't do this with only Souiumono, I've dropped thousands on plenty of bands.
LOL BYE
-
I bought XAA-XAA goods too but I didn't want the t-shirt. The socks, however, are I somehow justified buying.
And I went to see Shellmy yesterday so I bought a cheki
...and maybe a couple other things to do satsuei.
wristbands, their towel (i love it you can't even tell it's for Shellmy it just looks like you're a salty bitch) and their fucked up makeinu shirt
Shellmy is a such trainwreck I love them so much

Sorry, I'm the only one on here who went to those lives and got the CDs. I know one person who grabbed na mo naki off of an auction site but if he wants to share he probably would have by now.
They're two of my favorite songs tbh but you shouldn't hold you breath (or should find someone to bid for you on auction sites)
-
Yeah, I'm not big on the subject matter either. It's why I took forever to get into Shellmy, one of the big reasons why I avoided AvelCain like the plague, etc etc. But menhera is "in" right now so to speak, so all the bands ever have to have at least one wrist cutting song. Given the concept of the three singles (despair) I'm not surprised.
I like the song. But it's not my favorite and probably won't rank in the top ten for me, but it's good. Curious what the other song on the single will be like.
I've gotta agree about the artwork. Though, dosuguroi's outfits seem pretty cheap lol

While there are some valid points most of this is turned up to 10. It's exaggerated to the point of no return.
Though, I must say, dropping that much on bands? Yeah. It's true.
And of course every band is different. Most people I know have not been attacked at lives. I have had one girl knock into me during mosh because she is possessive but most of the time it's all very civil. It depends on the band though, a grieva fan when moshing slammed into my arm that had a brace on it.
As for gyaku dai, if you are prepared, it generally doesn't hurt that much. If not, what happened to suuu could happen to anyone, especially if the bar isn't padded.
I've never really been attacked or felt like I was in danger. I've had my name mentioned or "that foreigner" on tanuki but it was never a big deal. I've never felt a need to hide my social media and never really tried too hard to hide my face in photos. For girls much more heavily involved in the scene tho it is something to consider--the internet bullying.
But really there's so much more interesting and great stuff about this scene than "these girls attack you!!" And let's be real: mosh pits in the west are far more dangerous than anything I've witnessed at a vk live.
Shitty musicians exist anywhere. Musicians who sleep with fans exist anywhere.

hell yeah I'm down for anything Proxyon
-
Wow! Glad to hear they were your favorite!!
yeah the crowd always gets so into it. It's really impressive how for XAA-XAA how almost the entire crowd participates--even if it's an event for like 8 bands. BUT this is also my experience in Osaka so it's really great to hear that they're getting bigger in Tokyo too!! Must be from going there so often these days. The last time I saw them in Tokyo was in January and they still didn't have all that many fans there.But yeah, XAA-XAA gya are so into it lmao. I didn't go due to work, but one time they did an acoustic set and they played kanden and the girls still yelled at like SHIBIRERU and HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH VOLTAGE which just sounds hilarious and I regret so much not finding a way to go to that acoustic set lol.
That's a shame about missing the in store though!
But yep Kazuki is a grade A weirdo!! He's really, really nice though.
You're right on dosuguroi btw
I'm guessing yomei is like the "white light" you supposedly see when you're dying ?It's so crazy to think how big XAA-XAA has become.
Like their first oneman was just about 30 people and Shellmy lmao It's always so amazing to think how far they've come :')lol @ kazuki englishing i can't imagine
-
so like moving is fine and all i guess but there is one thing i am worried about in particular
IGM_Oficial and doombox reacted to this -
4 hours ago, ぺるしゃ猫 said:I did! I didn't even know you liked them until now!! LOL
LMAOOOOO I was actually trying to hide from him because I knew I was DRUNK AF and didn't want to make a fool out of myself.. But it happened lolol
He beat their asses with a fan? I'd laugh and cry LOL
You're the best comedian LOL
Ohh I need to buy some of their music, I didn't get a chance to in November but next time I see them live (hopefully) I can buy something because I haven't seen anyone selling their stuff anywhere!i don't think they were selling anything back in november
I've known about them forever but the first time i saw them was back in April to be honest!!
they have two CDs for sale right now: 繋がりたい and 仕切りが嫌い and they're only sold in osaka. and at this point you can only find 繋がりたい at their buppan, you can't find it in stores.
i wonder what sushi shop staff think of me when i only eat egg sushi and cucumber sushi.......................
-
yeah that's my impression of kamisori too. I liked it at the time but can't recall it.
but to be honest, that's how i am with a lot of songs i hear only 1~2 times at lives so I don't think it's particularly a reflection on the song itself lol
oh yeah @Platyif you went let us know what you thought!
-
@Saishu a lot of people are recently bringing up the MUCC influence too, so you're definitely not the only one. I'll have to take people for their word but I havent really gotten so into MUCC to really know. I think @doombox has also mentioned liking them for the MUCC influence
@CCXXVIIII have roji cheki not reiya cheki lol Also haru cheki.... (reiya and kazuki cheki are the cheki i can trade REALLY EASILY plus i don't..particularly want reiya cheki........)
I am willing to part with their pendant though (the one that looks like a watch i think--I'm not looking at it right now so i can't quite remember). I bought it and have yet to do anything with it so I'm not too attached. the IC card sticker too i don't particularly need.
Anyway, out of the three what is your favorite look??
I like kamisori the most probably but yomei is really nostalgic with the suits

1 hour ago, ぺるしゃ猫 said:YES omg it was a hilarious experience because I was wasted AF and I was the first one in the crowd who he used the rope on so I wasn't expecting it. haha
Oh yeah Shellmy is good too. I think xaa-xaa are talented but I haven't had chance to listen to them thoroughly, but I will some time soon
did you see them when you were here back in november? how did i not hear about that?? lol
mikoto always stops him before he can get to us to exercise us but he's always dangerously close to us by then :') he hasn't tied me up yet but I'm just waiting for that day to come. last time he was hitting some girls with a fan too lol beating the evil spirits out of them i guess
I see Aoshi after XAA-XAA a lot handing out flyers (they're always perfumed LOL) and one time i was joking like "tsunagaritai" as we were walking away and we did the hand sign and then we turned around and there he was standing so seriously with his hand up doing the sign and so I did CLAP CLAP CLAP "TSUNAGARITAI" and aoshi died laughing
as for other thoughts (still about zigzag): what will zigzag's next joke be?
and when will we get the WASSHOI WASSHOI song on CD because literally the best
-
7 hours ago, ぺるしゃ猫 said:And this is why I only like Tokyo and Nagoya bands atm minus ziggyzaggy but maybe it's because my zag got zigged
whenever someone is purified/exercised by aoshi my friend says "~got their zag zigged" lol
speaking of i'm still waiting for aoshi to purify/exercise me and/or my friends
he's had his eyes set on us the past few times i've seen them
last time he was literally rolling around the floor trying to get to us
also how did zigzag manage to make a song where you sit the whole time so fun??
ps xaa-xaa and shellmy are also killing it in the kansai scene¯\_(ツ)_/¯

白日ノ夢's single and mini for me and friends
and 4 copies of -真天地開闢集団-ジグザグ's 仕切りが嫌い for me and friends
recently got シェルミィ's 放課後の凶室 and the omnibus 妖幻鏡 -west- Vol.3 Survive as an Innovator
Did kuji for XAA-XAA and got these two items:
Also got some cheki:
and of course my ticket for XAA-XAA's 2 year anniversary and it looks like I'll be front row again ＼(^o^)／
I think that sums up my recent purchases
