    Yep, I consider them similar to Hysteric Panic, though maybe a little less intense. X"D Nobody does it quite like Hispani. And just throwing it out there but you might like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas too if you haven't checked them out already. 

    i'll definitely check them out!

    I've heard of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but I haven't listened to them so I'll check them out too :D

    Thanks~!

    So um... I bought three more copies of XAA-XAA's shitai dake desho?

    I need to sell them. One's claimed but the other two could be yours!! for the low price of list price + paypal fee + shipping!! (I have some pretty cheap shipping options) 
    let me know if you're interested lol

    Technically I paid for it forever ago and it was bought about a month ago at the last oneman but

    I finally got it yesterday! My last nuppe cheki (possibly ever!)!! :(

    Tbh Ensoku had a phase where they really hated playing This is a Pen too and refused to do it from what I hear

    but they accepted it's their life (and even wrote it into the lyrics for it) lmao

     

    anyway 

    it's rarely ever the bands I expect and i prefer not to speculate most of the time.
    Besides Souiumono and Oneness, I wasn't surprised about them and was guessing for a while that they'd be breaking up.... and then they did.

    I'm counting bands that are on hiatus too. And this is mostly from just glancing at iTunes. There's more but these are the ones that stuck out the most to me for various reasons...

    • Belmosaic (this one hit a lot harder than I thought it would...)
    • cocklobin (their last live was one of the best I've been to; I got a lot of closure with them there)
    • Heartless
    • kannivalism
    • boogieman
    • Hana Shounen Baddies
    • Billy
    • CodeRebirth (the first time I saw them was at their last live.........)
    • GHOSE (I got into them quite a while after the last time I saw them...........)
    • GLAMOROUS HONEY
    • Heisei Ishin
    • XA-VAT
    • 8-eit

    I wanted to add baroque because baroque ≠ BAROQUE in my mind (says the person going to see them in June)

     

    Related note: Oneness and Cradle are about to break up and I'm slowly realizing I'll miss them a lot more than I ever thought I would. Mostly because they've been so fun live. Cradle idk if I'll get into them recorded.

     

    Well, three major additions for me: 

     

    • Souiumono
    • Oneness
    • Cradle (also minor follow up: I did get into them recorded)

    orz 

     

    This past year was not kind to me..

    I think I can barely name 10 non visual j-rock bands... :D

     

    tbh i'm in the same boat 

     

    BUT I must say

    I love Hysteric Panic (pretty pumped to finally see them!!)

    Unveil Raze is p cool

    I'm getting into Hone Your Sense as well

    And I really really really like Proxyon (thanks for the heads up on them @Tokage)

    I forgot to mention GNz-WORD originally too

     

    If anyone has any suggestions based on these let me know?? 
    Because I am pretty interested in branching out from my VK hovel.

    @doombox you suggested Angry Frog Rebirth right??

     

    Also is Last Day Dream worth checking out ?

    Preview for all songs on the new mini album

     

     

    I'm so fuckin pumped for the 5th track :')

    When they first released the preview of the first track I thought these guys were going through the 'post-going-major-generic-music-phase'. But things go xaa-xaa weird really fast

    I'm really looking forward to this, all tracks sound great!

    yeah the preview i was interested to see how it would come together? because it sounded like it could be really good or pretty bad.

    one thing though: timely's not a major label...

    ^ oh yeah you need to watch their new live dvd ASAP!!! XD

    i also already thought their 1st live DVD (although it were just 3 songs) was pretty good but that new one is a lot better!^^

    and cool you see them in may - i'm sure you'll have a lot of fun!

    oh man i keep thinking i need to and I even have the CD sitting around (rather than putting it way) because I keep meaning to but i just keep...not orz

    The first one was so good (though it's so hard to imagine so many people fitting into DROP) I'm looking forward to this one..

    Yeah! but I'm so used to VK lives that I always feel so out of place when I go to other lives lol

     

     

    anyway I just ordered a few Proxyon CDs and HONE YOUR SENSE's album. Looking forward to getting them :D

    @leafwork yeah i think she comes up to my nose maybe  and I'm only 161cm myself

     

     

    So last night Ogawa leaving was announced..
    The announcement has its own page on their OHP here.

    It's actually not just one oneman live they will be having but two

    • 2016.7.2 @ Zirco Tokyo
    • 2016.7.8 @ ESAKA MUSE

    The onemans will be called 「オガワ、マイナスやめるってよ。」 ("I heard Ogawa's leaving Minus") which was decided by him. It's a play off of their song title 霧島、人間やめるってよ。 (which is a play off of a title of something else)

     

    Ogawa's comment was like "to the people who are thinking 'again?! seriously you're quitting again?!' the answer is yes! that's right!" and he said it's not because he doesn't want to do MJO, not because he got in a fight with the members, not because he got tired of MJO. He loves MJO. He has to quit because of family reasons. 

     

    Later if it's possible he's like to do support or session stuff, but it sounds like doing a real band is impossible for him at this point.

     

    He also said, since he left before, that people might joke that since it's happened before he'll probably be back but the reality is that MJO will be looking for a new bassist. He hopes that we will all support the new bassist, too.

     

     

     

    ..anyway, it's hard for me to imagine MJO with someone other than ogawa on bass. I'm just glad I have the 8th off and can go..

    So I went to puresound and grabbed Reirei's past singles (B type for both for now, I don't care about the PV).

     

    And since I've said for a long time VIV IS SO GOOD I NEED TO LISTEN TO THEM I finally followed through with it and bought MESSAGE. Let's see if they're as good recorded as they are live, huh.

     

    And Hysteric Panic's most recent release, Cinderella Syndrome.

    You just mentioned it too, Roji's short hair xD for what I remember he always or almost always had short hair in Bel, when he had a longer one in ザアザア

    really?? I guess your right. I had to go look back at belmosaic pictures.
    i just have in my mind roji with his stupid really long hair for some reason

    That's pretty interesting... I guess? It's their unique selling point to have a messed up mannequin on stage. I really hope I can see them live in July, I'm so confused about buying tickets in Japan though. Their system seems very complicated, any help/tips/advice anyone?

    i like junko :') and it can be refreshing when a band actually considers what their stage looks like lol I mean it is visual kei, why not take the opportunity to incorporate the stage into the visual aspect? 

    fingers crossed for you! they mostly do lives in tokyo these days @_@ but july they have lives in tokyo, osaka and nagoya so maybe you'll be able to go.

     

    tickets aren't so complicated (unless you're worried about getting a ~good number~~~) but to buy them you need to be here in japan since you pay at a convenience store and pick them up there :) It's possible to hire a shopping service to buy tickets for you but then you'll be paying out of your ass (and they generally don't know how to get ~good numbers~~~ and will grab whatever's available). If you're not concerned about it selling out--normally lives don't sell out--you might as well just grab them when you get here.

    Their usotsuki look was pretty bad tho. And their white nails during that time looked like white out I was dying hahaha but yeah in general I like most of their looks :')

     

    Idk about mascot? The word choice just doent sit right with me and I don't know why haha junko's just kind of like a part of the band to me--she's credited in everything from kowai kurai and on. I had asked kazuki what her name is and that seems to be how he decided to answer me lol They always have her strewn about the stage. The torso's normally hanging from the ceiling on the left side and her right leg is normally on the right side of the stage. There's at least 3 junko heads now...one is bald (and still attached to a torso). but yeah they had her since the beginning & I posted pics earlier in this thread of what their staging looks like iirc??
