anakuro

Yeah he brought up he loves it and it's sold at the 100yen lawson by his house so he's buying it all the time these days. they didn't have it the day of the live but he'd noticed it at the vending machine when they went in to chop, put 200 yen in his costume & during overnight hiking went to buy it rather than play air guitar the whole time lol He kept going on about how shuuji & kenjiro just kept going without him, did they even need him, & did they even notice he was gone?, well shuuji probably didn't because he was stuck in the same position the whole live, with his prompter... lol Anyway hi all, I've liked cali gari for years, haven't kept up at all in the past few years, but with corona I have had a lot of time to myself so I guess I decided to dive right back in and be shuuji's personal atm by joining the FC after years of humming and hawing over whether I should or not. I've only seen cali gari once & it was the live that the FC dvd that's coming out soon was from lol

No problem! There were a lot of fun things from the initial stream & Ao's stream. The live itself was out of synch with audio & visual when it initially went live so the whole time everyone was talking about watching with their eyes half closed (it was pretty hilarious). Today Ao was like "quit that talk! it's fixed!!" The live didn't start on time because Shuuji was doing last minute makeup. Ao got annoyed by how long it took for the camera to get downstairs, which was why he was standing on the platform out on the floor in front of the stage apparently. Ao was correcting people's japanese. The setlist was decided by Ao & some of the songs were so old no one could play them during the rehearsal and kenjiro & shuuji suggested cutting them (but they didn't). Funnily enough it was one of the newer songs that Shuuji forgot some lyrics to (even with his prompter) lol the world wide comments were definitely made in earnest. They had no idea about e+'s system & to be honest most japanese people probably don't even realize it either. It's a shame, especially since it was a really good live.

it's a commentary track that goes with the live footage which can still be viewed until tomorrow at 10pm if you bought the ticket. It's Ao and a staff member commenting on it. There are multiple times where ao pauses the video too so you have to make sure to pause with him if watching/listening... highlights from the commentary: "Kenjiro is so skilled I have NO idea why he is doing cali gari" Ao is Shuuji's biggest fan Ao is cali gari's biggest fan Making fun of Shuuji for constantly reading the lyrics from a prompter "ishii prompter shuuji" is what he ended up being called Making fun of Shuuji for standing completely still the whole time when mannequin came on Ao just went "I've come to see shuuji himself as a mannequin at this point" Ao making fun of himself and his skill level in comparison. Also, how he doesnt remember what he's supposed to do for any of the solos so he's just going JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL basically when he plays them Talking about an effector that makes the guitar sound worse and how much he loves it "Right... right there that's when i stopped playing during overnight hiking. OH I NEED TO GO GRAB MY DR. PEPPER" because of course Ao had one prepared for viewing tonight Idk it was fun and interesting to hear Ao's thoughts while watching it. There are a lot of stupid tidbits but not sure how interesting they are to anyone. Unfortunately e+ you have to have a Japanese phone number and credit card (or go pay at the convenience store) so I rolled my eyes every time they mentioned "people from all over the world can see this!" Hopefully the next stream wont be e+ but who knows. I got my copy of 暗い日曜日 the other day so I assume they still have copies for people who join the fanclub now if they're still advertising it. the big announcement is a maybe. they've had many meetings about whatever it is but there's a good chance they wont be able to announce anything. so i guess what i'm saying is dont get your hopes up

They had a couple years ago but came back pretty soon after. Ogawa also left and came back (and left & came back again..). They're breaking up in June.

So in my experience--which is 5 years of going to concerts here--it is 100% normal to say 行く for going to a concert (or ライブ as it is often referred to--コンサート is usually used for things like orchestras etc). I hear it, I use it, and I am asked it all the time in relation to lives. ○○に行く ⇒ I am going to (whatever concert, whatever band) ○○に行くつもりです or ○○行く予定です⇒ I intend on going to~ or I plan on going to~ are completely fine. Another point is in English we say "I am going to~" as future tense. You cannot use ～ている form as future tense. It is a current state of being. If you say (concert)に来ている！ you are saying that you are coming to the concert right now (it's not quite the right word choice in that situation either, but that's another topic). It would be the same for a band coming to a place--you wouldn't say ～に来ている unless they are on their way right now, instead it would be ～に来る However, imagine you just told your friend you are going to a live. After you have revealed that, imagine that you now want to know if they are going too. In that situation, you are more likely to ask 来る？ or to tell them something like 来てね！/来てほしい right. If you are undecided about whether or not you are going to the concert you would ask them 行く？ An important note, when someone is going to a concert, whether you are there are not, and you want to tell them to enjoy it you would NOT say 楽しんでいって instead you would tell them 楽しんできて I hope that's helpful

まだ10月末にライブの予定は無いなぁ 間違えないけど最近のバロックとかにあんまり興味無い 昔のは大好きだけど 昔にトミナ？とか書いたけど正しくタミーナなの？ アメリカは別にいいけど、アメリカより、家族＆犬会いたいよ ありがとう 頑張る💪(˘ω˘ 💪)

I love Sable Hills & Absolute is a great CD. Did it come with a sticker?? Vision of Fatima is pretty cool too--haven't picked up their CDs but I've always enjoyed seeing them live

そういえば、前に大阪にも来ると言ったよね？いつ大阪に来る？ はじめまして、 申し訳ないけど、名前は特に書きたくないのであなくろって呼んでもいい。 2012年にアメリカから島根に引っ越したけど、今は大阪に住んどる👆😊👆 昔にはヴィジュアル系に行ってたけどもう卒業した(笑)今はメタルコアやハードコアのライブによく行く。やっぱりヴィジュアル系より、楽なんだ。 ライブ以外、普段はよくNetflix見たり、ポケモンGOやったりするね😊偶に飲みにも行くけど、年取ってる()もし飲みに行ったら、次の日にしんどすぎてそろそろバーに行くのやめようかなっと(笑) 最近日本語能力試験のためまた自分で日本語を勉強してきた。12月にN2を受験することになったけどマジで不安😢 よろしくお願いします🙏

Name: we can go with anakuro Age: 27 Years studied: Uh, 2.5 at university, then self study on and off. I've lived in Japan for 5 years and that's what improved my japanese the most. Estimated level: advanced. Knowledge of Hiragana/Katakana: all. Kanji: if you're asking me to handwrite, not many at all. I can read basic readings of probably 1000~ kanji. I can recognize the meaning of more (but not be able to tell you how to read it). It's hard to assess because, well, I don't/can't really count them; depends on what criteria you're using; for many kanji I know them in the context of words, not a single kanji alone. What is your main goal with studying Japanese?: need to improve vocabulary and grammar. I want to pass the N2 for job related reasons. What materials have you used before?: At uni we used Genki 1 & 2 but I wasn't a big fan at all. I don't know what we used when I studied abroad, but I wasn't that into it either. I've used memrise to help with learning vocabulary. JET program japanese language course books two years (intermediate, advanced). I'm currently using sou matome, but it seems way too easy for the N2--also, not the biggest fan of the grammar book. But really, I learned through immersion. I lived in a really small town for three years and had to use japanese every day. I couldn't be shy and not speak japanese--otherwise I'd never talk at all. On the other hand, I feel like my skills went down after moving to osaka. I've started self studying again & my boyfriend only speaks japanese so I feel like I'm slowly getting back to where I used to be.

I'm not surprised given he was their support since roji left, but a part of me hoped that out of nowhere rai (gigamous) would be the new guy lmao Considering he's nowhere near where roji is skill-wise, I'm even more pessimistic about their future than I was before when it was announced that roji was leaving💁 Anyway, they also announced their oneman tour. The anniversary live is in tokyo👀 but the tour final is osaka👀

@Tokage Takken's not in matsutake works anymore as far as I can tell lol Also lol sry I'm going to fail you on all accounts. Whatever that release is it's far gone and I'm not going to be able to go to tokyo😂 RIP

I don't know the band to be honest but 再始動 = restart So, it's definitely not a one day only thing

@Tokage They were so good man like one of the best of the night

I went to that elect horror pictures show live tonight btw 曖昧中毒 they do have another release that was released today, live house only and is limited to 100 copies (only 90something are for sale because the members "bought" copies each). The cool thing about them was there were only bassists. Three bassists + the singer who would sometimes play too. There was some really great parts but overall I feel like once the novelty of 3 bassists wears off that's where enjoying the band also ends. as for what's going on with 太平洋ベルト they had a bunch of old CDs with them, nothing new, but I guess the prices were lowered a bit? they seem to have updated their website (kind of) since I last looked at it http://id6.fm-p.jp/129/osibe/ マツタケワークス Eiji's cult lives on I'm guessing at this point they wont be making any new music considering they've done matsutake works for so long and not put out anything. the only goods they had were cheki--a year or so ago they had stickers but it seems like they dont even sell those anymore

Couldn't agree more. I didn't like where XAA-XAA had been going for a while but now I..really dont have high hopes...

He's the most talented i've ever seen. I hold all other drummers to his standard tbh I'm having flashbacks to Belmosaic when he Quit Did support drums for them the whole time Rejoined Belmosaic broke up

I wish the reason was to join another hardcore band like GNz-WORD but I think he's retiring from music activities in general, which is a damn shame.

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing 太平洋ベルト ...possibly more than I am matsutake works (sorry eiji).... I've survived Pinokiwo once but idk if I can do it again. Let's just hope the bar is separate from the floor so I can escape (._.; ) oh man i'm feeling that Kalavinka (now that i have a chance to listen) & 首振りDolls 👌 Not so big on Otome Kokka and they're kind of a mess imo--demoting their drummer because he sucked (to what? their mascot? idek what he does anymore i dont really keep up with them) and getting a new drummer--almost losing their contract with Terakoya (because...they're not that good ? and have like 2 fans total idk).

I'm not sure how much I have to add but yes 新宿ゲバルト plays occasionally in Tokyo they've got a few lives coming up this year tbh 太平洋ベルト I've only ever seen them listed at THE ELECT HORROR PICTURE SHOW series of lives that often has matsutake works playing at and other bleep bloops (unfortunately including pinokiwo....). They're actually coming down to Osaka and boy am I ready for that👌

Ahhh, I loved them. I saw them over 10 times they were always so fun I didnt get to go to the last live but i'm glad I was able to go to the revival last year I've also gone to sessions that Juki and Syuma have been in but as expected I'd rather see Oneness😂 I went to a GARAK'S instore back in feb and Syuma was like "next time wear the [Oneness] hat" lmao😂

omg

@-NOVA- probably because rami's the manager of the osaka like an edison shop

Cradle will revive for one day on July 29th, 2017 @ Hiroshima SECOND CRUTCH

I really like the few songs I've heard by them pretty bummed they came to Osaka on Sunday it was really bad timing. i wanted to go
