For me, it's the mixing that's keeping me from being super hyped up. The vocals always sound the same: there's no change in dynamic or delivery and that makes it feel flat.

I don't understand why they feel like firing someone is "selfish?" Like, he's fucking up your shows, which in turn annoys your fans and hurts you sales + live attendance. If he's dead weight, drop him.

can't live without porn ;v

Translation kinda like this. Thank you very much for always supporting LAVANS. This time we have not such good news. It's a pity that our live schedule doesn't give us more time, however we tried to get in contact with Vo. NANA however we couldn't get any contact with him anymore. Because of this the 4 of us have decided to fire NANA from the band. Although it's really disappointing and very selfish, we hope to not to worry our fans and everybody who involved any future. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Regarding the currently scheduled live schedule, vocal support shion (ex.LIEVRE CLAY) will join us. And we hope that everybody will welcome him warmly, thank you in advance. As LAVANS will continue unchanged in the future We appreciate your continued support once again. ____________ So another silent; -I leave the band- happening.

Tracklist : (2160 yen, 666 copies) 1. 歪屍形(ibitsu ningyou) 2. 眩暈 (Memai) 3. 揺籃(Yôran) DVD : 1.歪屍形(ibitsu ningyou)

LONG TIME NO UPDATE!!!! here are some wips from the beginning of last year that i'll most likely never finish, unfortunately... i miss drawing so much and i hope to get back into the swing of things~

are they gonna be the new ADAMS

fixed, seriously, as much as i love the guy's music, in almost all the footage i've seen of the dude he looks like an alien who just crashlanded on earth and accidentally ended up as a vocalist for a rock band

That's the shitty thing about Starwave, now that I'm actually getting into some of their bands. The mixing is always ass and that just kills my hype altogether. Also offtopic, but that's what's been killing Labaiser's music lately. Their mini-album sounded *really* good, but their singles always sound like shit :/

I expected something more... but ok

New X Japan album sounds p good https://open.spotify.com/album/3yLtTSbKnOqzF7cMcp9NFP

Thank you. ( : Tonight's post is, a wip from an abandoned commission project, and more eyes. Also now I have a new job interview on friday, it would allow me to make more personal stuff and not have to shell out all my energy on boring still-lives. I'm both excited and filled with fear lol.

I swear that was the vibe i was getting from it!

I think by the time the guy arrived in Japan, Diru were already a major band. I think I read somewhere in his blog that he was really only interested in the underground indies guys.

Can't live without Marijuana. Legal where I'm at btw.

anything is better than continuing with Mia and Meto I like the calm voice of tsuzuku. If it was something like that, for me, they can bury Mejibray forever.

Bizarre. They're gonna feed the dreams of yaoi fangirls for decades.

New look

ex-サリィ。(sally) Vo.叭紅(haku) new solo project, "曖ノ音" (anone) has formed and he will hold his first live on March 8 at Ikebukuro CYBER. Twitter OHP

I've been very uninspired for a number of years now, and I really struggle to feel any emotion anymore. Loud music and a whole bloody lot of caffeine are about the only thing that allow me to work, albeit very sterile and not on stuff I enjoy. Getting back into some sort of community...and getting back to VK instead of listening to the same old music I always do, I hope this can propel me in a more positive direction. Already I've finally been able to pick up a brush again (or I guess in this case, a paint bottle lid lol) thanks to listening to Sukekiyo so I will start my thread with it, though it is unfinished I am just happy to have done something. Another canvas I've had sitting under a sheet for almost a year. I hope to actually complete Something from last August. Gold red black and mossy greens are my main love. I usually do stuff digitally because it's way more efficient and my wrist nerve is fucked up...but it's way harder to get exposure digitally so I've had to move to paint. ink thing from a couple years back I guess I'll just post one thing per day from now on to not be too spammy. Maybe it will revitalize me further and then I can post new things.

So here we have I guess Tsuzuku and Koichi’s new project? https://www.instagram.com/8psb_official Thoughts?

Yas! my copies just arrived!

Suddenly remembered a live stream, it was around 2013 or so, and Sharaku got drunk, it was extremely fast, after one or two "strong zero"... and when he went to the toilet he forgot to turn off his microphone.

Anything new from them is major, but like was stated above, i also expected a little more. Sounds like a softer single, which is not bad but a little mediocre. Won't be judging till i hear the whole thing tho, haha. I'm kind of happy with Miria's blonde fantasy, i was tired of him not popping enough in the MV's because of black on black on black.

Happy birthday

I think the issue is that they haven't actually been able to contact him yet, so they don't know if he's just being immature and avoiding their calls or if he's actually like dead in a ditch somewhere or something?

I liked more his other name "Zetsubou Circus" but ok ... I hope you keep doing the same music. I leave you the individual images.

I'm happy to see you getting into 3D yesss! Pls post images of your mesh too if you can

I forgot to post these, so here's what I got last week! More stuff coming~ @Seimeisen @Sparrow i gave in!! 💦

According to Koichi's Instagram, it's pronounced like in English.

i also started trying out the blender 3D program and here's my first 3D model ever!! i'm lowkey really proud of myself here's some of the process before the final outcome i can't wait to create more models! i'm now a step closer to realizing my dream of indie game developing~ but of course, i still have so much to learn!

HAKUMEI is now available on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play (JP only tho, I will check tomorrow if they are made available elsewhere) Edit: Of course its not available elsewhere. Silly me!!!!

Can't really be anyone's Sukekiyo seeing as that is a supergroup made of members of popular bands collabing and this is... half of ONE band, but it sure as hell looks like ADAMS. They ARE the best members of it so I can't not excite..

Very curious to hear the musical direction they will go for!

I'm always surprised that there are these people with deep vk roots selling superduper rare stuff, but nobody ever has anything by Dir en grey that's even close to being rare/special

Next time I'm in Japan I'm gonna remember to walk around Asakusa at night like I own that place, like Tatsuro did in Suiren XD

The levels of pretentiousness certainly are there. But this just doesn't give me "music project" vibes. Honestly seems like a perfume advert. At the most I can see this as a performance art project lol

Would be nice to hear something different from the "MEJIBRAY style" Tsuzuku,this can be your "Sukekiyo".

nice eau de toilete ad

They burnt Ricko at the stake so Zyean's their new singer now

they're going far with that band name

- the track 5 "Silent Noise" -the track 9 "念力 (Nenriki)" - the track 4 "雨中遊泳 (Uchuu Yuuei)"

Tonight's post is...Bloodborne fanart. I'm not really a fanart kind of person but the game inspired me enough to. The Snatcher The Orphan of Kos growing up, and Mother Kos (I like those blacklight fuzz boards) Also, just after one day of different / positive interaction I've already made arrangements with my cousin that I will do a variant cover for a comic for his friend. One step forward two steps forward

I don't know japanese and Google Translate is not helping me with their tweets. I just found they were in a band called LucaRia -with Tomo from Dadaroma and another guys I don't remember- I read about on fb. So, is it true? I'm curious

Here are the lyrics to Ogre by Cuartet along with what I think the structure is. Are you reaching cry of people 「Burst city」 you made is about to collapse <Violence><Politics><Crime><Disaster><Weather> be upset of all!! you made 「Burst city」 in these state foolish people do disturb of order (an atrocious crime) pretend ignorance is 「Burst city」 (a prosperity city) disregard of law is useless social 「Tell me your opinion of you!!」 note: at the bottom is a square, x, triangle, a komejirushi (※) and a circle, all of which are in between two hyphens. I have no idea what any of this means. Perhaps it's some weird symbolism? Or it's probably there for A E S T H E T I C Interestingly enough, there is a note at the bottom. 〜全英訳、咲〜, which basically says Saki wrote all the English himself. Yeah, that's kinda obvious. So determining the structure for this song is hard, because Saki gives even Ruki a run for his money on how badly they pronounce English. The first lyric really is "Be upset of all", then after the main riff ends, the first line is sung, 4 times. Only, he seems to end the first 3 ones at "made" (which he pronounces like mah-deh). Only the 4th repetition is sung fully. The words in <> are most likely the growling behind his singing. Then he says "Be upset of all" again. Now, the next lines are extremely hard to pinpoint. The line "you made 「Burst city」 in these state" is most likely what he's repeating 4 times in this part, until the growling kicks in. Then, "foolish people do disturb of order (an atrocious crime)" is growled 4 times. I don't think "An atrocious crime" is actually said though. But I could be wrong. Ditto with the line under it. Then finally, he screams "disregard of law is useless social". The final line, may be what the high pitched voice is trying to say, or the voice is just random, and the lyric is not actually said. IDK, I want to see if anyone has a different interpretation. Saki's grammar isn't as bad as some of the Vocalists from then, but his pronunciation is very lazy. I'll post the other lyrics I have sometime later
