アンドゥー (undeux) has lost contact with Vo.裏喰-リク- (riku) since last month during recording of their new single. He has read, yet, not actually responded to their LINE messages, yet they are aware that he had tried to order a pizza through their chat, so they can verify that he's in fact safe. (i'm serious) As a result, their single「安藤の雌豚-ドメスティック製法-」has been postponed. However, they will still perform as 4 members at their live dates. https://gamp.ameblo.jp/undeuxofficial/entry-12361311838.html?__twitter_impression=true

ZON's support bassist Sy/u (ex.Called≠Plan) has officially joined the band and they will be releasing a new single on 2018.06.27 titled 『R.i.P.』 https://twitter.com/zon_official/status/975356901423702018 https://twitter.com/zon_official/status/975358428863320064

yup, they are for sure DISPINA - today when i took a closer look at their group shot i noticed the tattoo on the neck of the guy on the far right which is exactly the same as DISPINA's bassist tomo. also because no one mentioned it yet they'll have a free live on 2018.04.04 at 東京:目黒鹿鳴館 (tokyo: meguro rokumeikan) where their live distributed single [死垂桜ノ木ノ下デ。] will be released *from what it seems the CD will be distributed on 2018.04.04 only*

this is hilarious lmfao randomly dropping your band without telling the label head

hunk channel movie with that jacked queen from アンド when?

“The band mentions that he has not been fired, and that they hope he returns.” Lmao w o w

Can someone make a list with the bands who's member get lost etc crap. would be funny to have one on the end of the year. But anyway, There we go again!~

so this is the power of kpop...

im just happy he has the show as diva/dj/drag queens/gogo boys cuz WHO needs a guitarist/bassist/drummer when you have the power of The Gays

I say it really depends. Do you mean in general, or within the Vkei scene? In general, Dir en Grey definitely ranks highest, having combined popularity within the Vkei scene and within the general heavy metal scene. There are surprisingly a ton of edgelords who like Dir en Grey, but think all Vkei is trash (and therefore refuse to listen to any Dir en Grey album made before Uroboros) But within Vkei, the GazettE definitely outranks Dir en Grey. You can go quite a bit in a vkei community without hearing about Dir en Grey, but not 5 seconds without even hearing about The GazettE. Now Mucc is a pretty interesting case. I say Mucc definitely ranks somewhat on the top 10 most popular VisualKei bands list, but they have a specific part in the Vkei scene where they rank supreme, only behind one other band: MisshitsuKei. MisshitsuKei is one of those vkei forms that fall under the umbrella term "erogurokei", and it comes from the name of Caligari's record label, Misshitsu Neurose, which Mucc used to be signed to. Though MisshitsuKei is now a rarely used term, go on a few dead Eroguro-AnguraKei communities, and look at discussions of favourite bands, and you'll see a few common trends. Mostly people talking about Caligari and Mucc, with Guruguru Eigakan, Inugami Circus Dan and Metronome ranking just behind. Modern Mucc can't really be described as MisshitsuKei however, since they have expanded since signing to Universal and Danger Crue. Also, the most popular band in the confusing sea that is the Eroguro-Angura scene (Which I for years erroneously considered bands like Kuroyuri to Kage to be a part of), they're still outranked by Caligari and maybe Guruguru Eigakan. Their influence on other influential bands, such as Kagerou and Girugamesh, though, can't be denied. But among all these 3, I say they're the least popular.

I've always liked MIKI from SCISSOR had good style with his flesh tunnels. This is a tiny picture, but the best I could find.

Thank you very much ! As I expected, I really like the lyrics (even if I don't understand all). Thanks again !!!

Here it is the translation, hoping that you like it! Titan arum (it's a flower, considered the biggest one in the world) Unpleasant seeds are scattered. A fake sky and clouds to hide overhead. You get used to such a world, otherwise you will be unhappy. It's weird, I don't care about happiness. Touching, getting wet, like in the genitals I still have my mood feeling. Such flowers have the poison. Beautiful to death. It's a weird idea, I'd like to drink it if it would be such a poison.

Thank you ! It would be really nice of you !

that's what odd to me... I've seen nothing from Dispina - no new announcements, nothing from the members, ...it's just very odd to me that they're being quiet about what's been going on, even after revealing themselves. Even the jrock news outlets aren't really mentioning any connections between the two, or added any exclusive information.

They are. They're still promoting old stuff like XII-Destructive Agent of Jap's 3 song "album".

i would swallow his kids idc

jacked queen from AND? 👀

Yess, I'm always ready for some new Noulla! I'm loving everything they've been releasing

LOL that cover just made me chuckle, but I can't wait for this. They need to quit playing though and release HAPPY, LOVELY, GROLY.

Noulla 2nd digital single 「NE NE」 will be released through iTunes store, etc.

The pizza is pineapple, it's a trap!

Omg these idiots never learn xD

Hi to you! This is his Instagram account : https://www.instagram.com/2_instagraph/ And this is his Twitter account : https://twitter.com/2_itter_ I hope I have been helpful

sorry Satsucki but this is only a

i'm illiterate and thus cannot write a review x

Wait, guys, the official Bloom account has kept tweeting about Dispina all these days. Do they actually know the band ditched them?

Satsuki needs to go back to first era's RENTRER EN SOI style.

Oricon will tell you it's Dir en grey, Gazette, then Mucc if you're gonna count sales as the determining factor.

new SAVAGE's song is life

Need to dev on Windows because of an issue with my wireless card on Arch Linux.

Cool track. Starts off really rocking before it turns into something that sounds quite inspired by Ved Buens Ende. Sounds great!

I was for it until I saw that the shoes are red and don't match

<3

Girugamesh always sucked never had any talent like deathgaze. fuck off my ipod

PV already leaked

殺人コック(Satsujin Cook) I can't find jack shit about this band other than that they exist, they're some kind of punk/angura band & they're apparently themed around cooking. One of the members appears to be connected to the band 新沼ＧＥＮＪＩ. I guess their OHP must have been http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~kokku/index.html but it appears to be dead. Truly iconic

Here's some stuff for starters WHITEFACE ESSENTIALS: Guruguru Eigakan Wadachi (compilation of re-recorded old DT tracks) (2000.12.12) Bonjin Hakusho (2000.03.04) Sakai no akasa no sei nano desu.

Where Are They Now? (Angura Style) グルグル映畫館 (Guruguru Eigakan): Inactive. Last official release in 2010. The band officially suspended activities back in 2012. Vocalist Amano Tonbimaru passed away due to unknown causes the following year. I think there have been some tribute / memorial concerts in his honor after that, but it's unlikely they'll ever get together again. 犬神サーカス団 (Inugami Circus-Dan): Active. Ever since their slight name change in 2012 they've been pretty consistenly productive. They've released 4 full-length albums, 1 mini-album and a compilation album in the last 5 years. 駄菓子菓子 (Dagashi-Kashi): Active. (I think?) Their last full-length album came out as far back as 2015, but I think they're still around. Using Google Translate, I found out that they've apparently had to cancel some live performances this year due to one of their members' health problems. ストロベリーソングオーケストラ (Strawberry Song Orchestra): Active. Their last cd came out in 2016, and they seem to have changed their look again since then as well. SEX-ANDROID: Inactive. Indefinite hiatus started July 19th this year. 太平洋ベルト (Taiheiyou Belt): Somehow still active. Despite the fact that it feels like it's been ages since they actually released anything, they're apparently still around and playing lives. メトロノーム (Metronome): Active. Rather unexpectedly released a comeback album in March of this year. Hopefully they'll stick around for a while longer! 新宿ゲバルト(Shinjuku Gewalt): Active? Released at least one official single last year after what felt like ages. Who knows what they're up to lmao FLOPPY: ???. Now that Sharaku's busy with Meto and (presumably) GalapagosS, who knows what'll happen to them. It's been a while since they've had any proper releases, but I think they were still performing at least a couple of years ago? cali≠gari: Active. Released a fine-ass album a couple of months ago, check it out if you somehow haven't gotten around to it yet. Here's a little list for starters. Feel free to add to it.

Sorry for basically a double post, but I found this super old screenshot I took from gazette's Remember the Urge PV (Or just a picture compilation??). Another bunch of relevant material on it.

I have seen X Japan three times now and every time X Japan is super late to start, there are more theatrics than music, and most X fans (Japanese or foreign) are annoying as fvck. A lot of them are cosplaying obangya (and when I say obangya, most of them are 40-60 y.o. women/grannies) and their tall hair blocks out pretty much any chance you might of had of seeing the stage. It's not as bad at arenas where the seats are tiered, but at the Visual Japan Summit last year everyone was just in a standing zone and I had to watch most of their performance through a screen. Also, their fans don't seem to understand the "switch out" system for taiban lives. X Japan were playing last, but some of their hime-sama fans had already decided to take up the front row at 10:00 a.m. when PLC came on. At a previous show I saw, Yoshiki decided to have some random/awful h.naoto fashion show in the middle of the concert, and even liking h.naoto at the time, it was still like wtf I didn't pay 12,000-15,000 yen for an hour-long intermission when X Japan only had like 8 songs to play in total. Then at every live they play, you have to listen to X Japan and their fans yelling "WE ARE X!" for like 30+ minutes. The only other person that I've seen put more emphasis on bad theatrics than performing is Gackt, but at least he played more than 8 songs and had better tour goods. TL;DR, they have good songs and I appreciate them paving the way for visual kei, but there is certainly a cult-like hype around them that isn't entirely deserved.

Part 2. And on an OST video for Hyperdimension Neptunia: Just sort of weird how much people will big up the stuff they listen to, as if it's the sole source of a type of music, or that it's the best and the only best.

this is really just a drag @ myself but back in middleschool when i was first getting into vk, i accidentally followed a roleplay-blog of Nightmare's Hitsugi, somehow thinking it was the real thing. I guess i was just totally ready to accept hitsu spoke fluent english and also had the exact personality of a teenage girl? Also there was a good chunk of time when i was convinced that line in L'Arc~en~Ciel's Taste of Love was "You treat me like a DUCK"

"Is anyone else getting tired of VK? I've been listening to it for the past six months and two days, so I've been into the scene for awhile, and all these bands just sound the same now. Thoughts?"

I hate One Ok Rock , every time i hear that stupid name i want to punch something. Overrated band , in my opinion. Nasty music.
