There are not a lot of things yet about this project. Twitter : https://twitter.com/vulgaruine_red

Hi everyone I've been listening to JRock for 11 years and was also quite active in another forum in my teenage years. Now, feeling like a JRock grandma already, I've decided to start my comeback. I've never really stopped listening to JRock, but as you get older you grow out of that phase of huge obsession over VK to then....obsess over other, more adult things Recently I've been getting into Dir en Grey and other bands again, mainly because I spent two weeks in Tokyo last year and went to VK shops in Shinjuku. It was a great experience and awakened a long buried passion! I think it's really sad that all of the "youngsters" are just all about KPop nowadays. Not that KPop is bad or anything, but I've just always been more into Metal and Rock in general, so I just don't get all too excited over it. The VK scene has diminished over the years and is now, sadly, barely existent. I want to change that and keep the spirit alive by talking with you lot about JRock and everything related (or unrelated.) Cannot wait to hear from you guys! See you around!

Because America

here are the furi videos the band uploaded. i'm so excited for them!!

Imo Undying was their best song since DIM so I'm feeling overly optimistic about this album. ^Also I checked Ruki's twitter and he uses 最狂 (saikyou) instead of 最強 (saikyou), a play on words saying the album will be their most insane/crazy album yet. Might be looking too far into this but hopefully this means it won't be straight forward generic stuff like Dogma which was alright but far from great.

listening to my baroque, kannivalism, plastic tree playlist again. wasn't able to join the trade-off this month but that's honestly my life giving playlist right there.

With all due respect to yoshiki can eat my ass

The announcement was that they'll be releasing a cover single of CREAM (cash rules everything around me) by wu tang.

ベティ(Betty), who used to be signed to the infamous Rockstar Records label, is holding a revival show in September 30th at Urawa Narciss. It's a bit hard to tell, but it looks like they're calling themselves "Ugly Betty's Paranoia." Either that, or that's just part of the name of the show and they're running with it on Twitter. Revival show lineup: Vo:綺流 (ex-ベティ, ex-チェリー, etc) Gt:菊池明人 (ex-ベティ(as 暁翔), ex-Liphlich) Gt:ルネ (ex-ベティ, ex-Domestic Child, etc) Ba:kotty (ex-ベティ) Dr:妃露 (ex-メアリィ)

NoGoD will release a new album titled "proof" on 2017/9/20. Limited edition will include 11 tracks and a DVD for "Missing", "Arlequin", and "break out!". Regular edition will include 12 tracks. Tracklist: 01. In the cage...(Instrumental) 02. break out! 03. Arlequin 04. 蜃気楼 05. ヘンリエッタ 06. proof 07. 矜持と共に (Instrumental) 08. forever 09. 煽動 10. Missing 11. Tonight! 12.

I think they have roughly 82~85 songs (including SEs, but excluding rerecordings). These collections are 75 unique songs, so this is the overwhelming majority of their works.

They will hold their one-man "「糞麺氏ね」購入者限定単独禊 "慈愚" "挫愚"" at Shinsaibashi Soma (2017/10/01) at which their new mini-album "糞麺氏ね" will serve as entry ticket (you buy the CD -> you get a ticket). They will hold their first one-man tour "大除霊ツアー" on the following dates: 2017/11/28 - 東高円寺二万電圧 2017/11/29 - 名古屋ell.SIZE 2017/12/01 - 大阪RUIDO

I wouldn't say it's mean, but just a fact. I've seen people say that they don't like japanese vk gigs because people act like it's a cult meeting , but I'd much rather that than having hundreds of cameras blocking my view and 7ft tall people jumping on my head and breaking the rules 'coz "they paid for it". Either way I hope GazettE will tour around more of Europe (not just France). Last time they came over was 2007 and I need to see them before they disband.

That means they'll be doing another world tour for this album yas! It's great considering how Ruki dislikes non-japanese fans

that's the best description of everything about ha ever since she ditched VK back in 2005 tbh

dimlim are better!

More information coming soon! In the meantime let us know and comment on what kind of MORRIGAN merchandise you would like to see in Europe!

Been busy but I'm now back designing shirts so more coming soon. Any Requests? Let me know. Thanks

GOOOGRI EYES

GOOGLY EYES I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU SEEE GOOGLY EYES I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU SEEE GOOGLY EYES I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU SEEE' IMITATE EYEBALLS STOP TO WATCHIN ME WHAT THE FUCKIN PLASTIC DOLL FUCK YOU NICE FACE GOOGLY EYES I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU SEEE GOOGLY EYES I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU SEEE GOOGLY EYES I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU SEEE' GOOOOOOGRY AYYYYEES I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU SEEEEEE DEAD BLIND MAN

Composition-wise, what's the best GazettE song, in your opinion? I'd say 'DOGMA'. Freaking BRILLIANT, and I don't think they'll ever do another one as good as.

Deadman Malice Mizer Rentrer en Soi Sugar 9Goats Black Out there are others I miss, but they're either gone because the singer died or they were starting to get mediocre and probably needed to disband anyway.

Now that Mix will be gone soon, I guess I better give PLC a try! Their lives sound like a lot of fun too. I'll take the recommendations you already mentioned in the thread ~

^ They're STILL butthurt over over music piracy? LMAO get over it you little babies 🤣

I lowkey find his vain instagram repost of the same cover mesmerizing

YOSHIKI Featured On The Cover Of VOGUE JAPAN First Japanese male ever selected for the cover in the magazine’s history YOSHIKI, leader of X JAPAN, graces the October 2017 cover of Vogue Japan, on sale August 28th. He is the first Japanese male ever selected for the cover in the magazine’s 18-year history.

I will allow this

So you're in the studio recording for an album which was supposed to be done and shipped two months ago? Schrodinger's album confirmed. It exists as long as none of us have it.

I actually saw them perform with Metronome last month in Japan. I went to see Metronome and my friends went to see PLC. I did enjoy their set, but I've always felt that their theme is kind of cringe-y. But it might be because I'm not into the anime/cosplay world so I don't quite get the point, and it might be one of the reasons I never gave their music much of a shot in the past. I wasn't sold on everything but some of the stuff was quite good, so I might check out some releases again, I think I might even own a few CDs... somewhere... (unsurprisingly, my friends said the songs I enjoyed the most were quite old material.) Will take recommendations!

Rei was far from their main composer, actually... Eiki and Kou are the main composers in general, Eiki having studied music in university and Kou having done it as a hobby for years before he even started his first band. I believe he plays some guitar/bass too. To be honest I have a feeling Kou is the driving force coming up with guidelines, concepts and basic structures while the other members always kinda trickled along, Eiki being the biggest help mainly doing most of the composing/technical bits. I mean Kou is even in charge of Art Direction, he just takes on everything all the time, haha. I believe the one song Nao was completely in charge of during the Shounenki era was ムービスター (WEAKNESS MY BLOOD B track) which was ... I guess while it was a fun live track it was pretty lacking over all and didn't fit the rest of the songs/theme whatsoever. They disbanded because Rei wanted to leave the band for personal reasons, and they didn't want to continue Shounenki without Rei. Simple as that. I guess they decided to take the opportunity to change up their concept (as you wrote) since Shounenki, as amazing as they were never really seemed to get anywhere. I was a huge Shounenki fan and went to probably around 60-70 shows before they disbanded but as much as I am trying it's been really hard for me to get into this new band due to the extreme change of concept... I used to love Kou's lyrics and blogs but it's like he's no longer there as he's taken on this character singing about the mental struggles of bangyas which unfortunately seems to be working in regards to people actually attending the shows. As much as I believe they'd like to do nation wide releases, they won't for financial reasons. People want the music? Then go to the lives, buy CD/goods/chekis and help them with their activities-kind of strategy. Whoever uploads these to YouTube, while I too want to be able to spread their music, you might be hurting them financially as Japanese fans won't bother coming to the shows since they already got the music online. The band even tweeted they were sad to see it happening. I understand why it's frustrating for you guys though, especially if you can't even access the lives. Just know I'll happily pick you up copies of their releases at any time and send them over, just message me on here! I believe their label CRIMZON is currently throwing all their money to Purple Stone and it's pissing me off seeing them release PV after PV while Amabo is just left to struggle on their own. I went to the oneman last week and there's probably only like 20 people from the Shounenki days still there while the rest is new fans. I dunno obviously if they're making good money but... I dunno. I hope it's going well? I was happy seeing so many new fans there but the capacity of the venue they played is smaller than what Shounenki used to play. I feel it's just such a waste to have such talented musicians flop around doing whatever this is. This concept won't last. You can only make that many songs about being a girl on the side, lol. We're gonna get bored, THEY're gonna get bored. I really hope they can turn this around somehow... I'd hate to see them just fizzle out to nothing. Especially Kou and Eiki. They're far, far too talented.

Haa, so. I had a bit of a long streak of not drawing at all and watching like... anime instead. But yesterday I managed to finally do SOMETHING. Basically the two younger siblings to the elf I've previously drawn. Twins. Tried colouring again. I suck at it.

With the Vivarush guys. They're so fun that i couldnt even stop laughing and had to concentrate a lot to don't laugh while tooking the picture hahaha Love this boys

Haha honestly everyone here is pretty hot, makes me feel insecure as fuck. This editor is confusing me excuse the spoilers. Just click the imgur link to see me. http://imgur.com/a/Bihn0

Dada has been working for Free-Will for at least the past 12 years as a graphic designer/illustrator. He did a bunch of DEG tour shirt designs during the mid to late 2000s.

To me LIN and Avelcain's disbandments were the worst. Especially LIN I guess. I love Sui and Mizaly, and them in a band with Kisaki was something I could only dream of basically. Everything they put out was great as well.

Atsushi Sakurai owns my soul.
