A countdown has begun on Pay money to my pain's website and they will surely reveal something in 6 days ! Here is their website : http://www.paymoneytomypain.com/top.php

The most important thing that one can tell themselves in 2016 is: Stop doing nothing all the damn time

Well, nothing really new but this is still good nontheless.

YES BOYS!

The title of GLAM GRAMM@R new maxi single is finalized as "病ンデレラ in Halloween Party(yanderella in Halloween Party)" [track list] 01. 病ンデレラ in Halloween party(yanderella in Halloween party) 02. 赤い靴(akai kutsu) (included in TYPE A) 02. 籠目籠目-檻の中のキミ-(kagomekagome-ori no naka no kimi-) (included in TYPE B )

bring back all those old MUCC-esque bands from the old days like M, Monokuro Kinema, Kalimero, Tokyo Heroes, Hucci etc..... THEN we'll talk

魅裟 (Missa), which is the solo project of Insanity Injection's guitarist and main composer 魔琴(makoto), is releasing his second solo single entitled "Belphegor." Like his first single from earlier this year, "Belphegor" will be available on a plethora of digital retailers and will most likely only contain one track. The song is licensed through Malformed Maria records, which I am going to assume is a small label he made himself to distribute his solo works. The single will be released on September 15th, 2016. Ohp

DEVIZE has announced that they will release CDs in the three months 2016/11~2017/01. 『Blood』 -Begin- will be released on 2016/11/03 and will be live-limited 『喰葬』 -Erosion- will be released on 2016/12/14 and will be available in stores. 『CORE』 -Worship- will be released on 2017/01/18 and will be available in stores.

the Raid. new mini album "未完(mikan)" will be released on 2016/10/26 (3 TYPE)

Some pretty cool releases here and there for August, I was mostly content with what I heard. As usual, the rules are pretty simple: you can list what releases you thought were the best, and explain why in a few sentences. You can even pick just 1 album if that's all you've got, and try to keep it to a maximum of 5 items. Feel free to add or remove any albums later if you feel like your taste has changed, etc. Oh, and try to include a sample or two so that others could peep those sweet tunes more easily! Aaand here we go~ 黒百合と影 -「臓器のノゾキ穴。」/ Kuroyuri to kage are a pretty decent band, but they really stepped up their game with this new mini album. The whole thing is just bursting with dirty, crunchy dark sounds and moods, encased in powerful little tunes. The inclusion of the re-worked single tracks was a good choice too, they sound much much better than before. One of the near-perfect indies vk releases of the year for me so far, for sure. 雅-MIYAVI- - Fire Bird / Who knew I'd enjoy a MIYAVI album again after the boring disappointment that was THE OTHERS? I sure as hell didn't! I was even skeptical listening to the previews, but song by song the new album won me over big time. I don't know which producers MIYAVI worked with this time, but kudos to the whole team for forging this badass sound. Partly electronic dance music, partly garage-y distorted guitar jammin', and lots of catchy songs. Perfect party album. Ritual Howls - Into the Water / Immensely bleak-sounding goth rock with minimalistic synths and a biting industrial edge. To be honest, I don't remember much of the actual songs now that I think back, but it's just one of those albums that you put on when you're in a certain mood and it washes over you. Great night-time listening. Honorable mentions UNDER FALL JUSTICE - 醜い拒絶 / This almost made my top list. Chaotic, quirky, overdramatic indies vk that's too ridiculous at times, but somehow still works. Hellbringer - Awakened from the Abyss / Old-school thrash/black/speed metal. Tbh it's pretty interchangeable with a dozen other bands, but it gets the job done.

I uploaded the mini in the DL-section, moreover if you search on youtube it should be uploaded there as well.

haha omg I should try doing that... I srsly spend WAYYYY too much time on translations... I usually read the whole thing once, go back and translate it roughly, read the translation and make it sound more natural in English, then compare the completed translation back to the original Japanese to double check if the meaning is accurate *insert long spans of time just staring at it trying to remember English* I might have to switch to your style to retain my sanity as well lolol OMG LYRICS. I don't translate them often cos they literally kill me. I do a LOT of research and consult multiple native Japanese speakers to see what they think certain lyrics mean etc etc. and I try to make it accurate without footnotes butttt fuuuuhhhh haha

yeah i totally feel you XD these days when i translate longass interviews i actually force myself to do it from my phone so that i don't spend too much time on them LOL. what i do is simply read the entire question or answer in the original, remember the gist of it, then type it out in english. i can't say if this works for other people, but i've managed to get reasonably fluent and accurate (though not perfect ofc) translations this way while retaining my sanity. i've also given up on translating lyrics because i can't do it without feeling like i've butchered the original lyrics somehow if i don't append 10 pages of footnotes hahaha cute <3

^ interesting interview, thanks for translating! nice to know the origin of their band name haha and as an aside: i also hope that more people can appreciate how much time/effort it takes to translate these stuff in general.

I FINALLY FINISHED TRANSLATING!!!!!! UGHH I hope they appreciate how much work this shit takes T_T (I actually had to do some research for the meaning behind their name x_x) EvoL'v Special Interview: TRA TRA TRA I'll work on the last few LINE blog entries next :DD

This actually looks pretty fucking good to be honest. Right now I'd kill to see this live. Holy mama!

lol wat

not baad he has a pleasent voice I hope to hear more of them

I just won an autographed Octopus Cult CD after having an hour long bidding war. RIP my wallet.

i really enjoyed this whole single, especially the title track! glad they have such a beautiful PV for it too ^^

Wanna chill with the RarezHut krew like the kool kids you are and see what 187 lbs(85 kg) of VK looks like? Then join us this Tuesday for our Superhuge Unboxing Livestream! This won't be a sale stream, but what we're unpacking will be either on our next livestream or on the store, so you can get an early sneak-peek at all of the goodies we've picked out for ya'll~ More specific details will come as soon as we know what time the boxes are arriving, but it will most likely start around noon MST.

Last video bumper I edited for Shinjuku Station. Enjoy!

I think would order them in maybe this fashion 1)Mask 2)Panic Panic/Utsotsuki Pierrot/Cat walk After further listens I can't decide which I like in order after "Mask" but I think that Mask is my favorite of all 3 songs... It is very old Purple Stone and that's what got me attached to them in the first place so I'm sold on its goodness.... Its more harder feel with them captivating vocals got me all in love so I'll go with that. Panic Panic as I mentioned before got me ready to dance all the time just like Michael's Thriller so that is already a big plus haha. Cat walk was the one that I was going to actually put last but after more listens I find it to be better than what I previously thought Utsotsuki Pierrot I found to be very lovely on the contrary and its circus them was pretty cool. I like how B-side has its own theme really and I enjoyed the single as a whole like all the rest<3 Still hoping for that album to appear TOMORROW!!!! Guess we shall see

I love these guys!! When I finish their lyrics, I'll share the single here ( ^ ^ )

LOL I can't stop dancing when I hear Panic Panic.... more on what I think of the rest of the songs to come<3

Nope, they should not. Make a new band with the same members and another vocalist, whatever, but don't just find a new one for PTP, that's fucked up But I don't think they'll do that, the announcement is probably some tribute live with the guys from gene, or a new best album, dvd or something like that

Dark Souls 3 Playing on my new Pyromancer 😪

I still haven't listened to the whole single, but bought the title track from iTunes. After listening to it x times, I realised it really reminded me of CINDYKATE and their party-like tracks :') Can't wait to listen to more from PS

i updated the lyrics thread with the tracks from "Panic panic" btw if anyone has heard the new single i'd love to hear your opinions!! i'm still composing my thoughts.. but damn... what a title track :')))))

T_T Fine fine I will watch the anime and film. I was going to watch the film anyway because I'm interested in their achievements in CG. Those screenshots were amazing looking. Will probably watch them right before I start the game.

official channel :

just going to throw this out there but i fucking miss kazuki </3

I could see Merry contributing, possibly covering one of MUCC's more wanky songs like Saishuu Ressha.

I won't be surprised if there aren't as many vk bands on this as people might think. Though I am 100% wishing for XAA-XAA to be on it (even if its a long shot).

would be funny to see things go full circle and have cali gari cover a mucc song

It's not fair And I think you're really mean I think you're really mean I think you're really mean

FULL MV

there are two dudes on youtube i know who have been reacting to vk and jrock in general in some videos the first dude just reacts to whatever people send to him it seems, meanwhile the 2nd dude does a bit of research on google and reacts to 2~3 videos(he already reacted to a bunch of other bands). i think it's really cool that they do this.

sup peeps I miss this place

The Pokemon shirt guy is adorable.

Nice! Beelzebub was good not great... but I'll keep supporting any VK dudes who actually put songs online for a buck.

Puerto Rico ^___^ @Yukami vivo en Estado Unidos

I just got new bookcases

Happy Unbirthday to them :'(

nah, he is just busy with his new bandooo: Jokes aside, I also think this project is done or will go nowhere, especially considering how unpopular his last were
