Desperate, probably.

girls with lots of $$$$$

Dada speaks English well enough to lure in unassuming western girls to his web of mediocrity

Their type is ATM

Is he TRYING to be Yoshiki?

Speaking of acting too cool, this fucker needs shades to eat breakfast.

YOU, the bassist from THE SOUND BEE HD, speaks English fairly well. Her English isn't perfect, but she has translated for the band during interviews/streams before, and you can message her on Twitter and stuff and she'll try to reply in English. I think she mentioned when they appeared on a variety show that she was a flight attendant before joining the band, so maybe that's where she picked some of it up? This video has some clips from the show, including YOU doing the seatbelt warning before takeoff in Japanese and English.

"蘭(RAN)" members: Vo.TAICHI Gt.渉 Gt.美亮 Ba.碧 Dr.志音 I think vo.TAICHI is vo.Taichi (ex. Answer:[ ], ガァベラ(Gerbera))

I think Shinya would rather die.

From what I remember SUGIZO (LUNA SEA) speaks really competent English, and Tomoyasu Hotei is almost fluent. I can't remember any other 'exceptional students', haha.

Takeru from SuG spent some time in the US learning. That was before the band broke up, but he did some livestreams on YouTube for foreign fans in English. Even as a solo artist, he'll make posts every now and then for western fans. That's all I remember for now.

Under 30s CHISA (ACME) 1989 Kula (ex.XALTEA) 1989 IЯU (KHRYST+) 1989 Cazqui 1990 (I’m pretty sure he’s actually born in 1989 tho) Hisame (ex.Grieva) 1990 Iv (ex.ViViD) 1990 Ko-ki (ex.ViViD) 1990 Yuya (Develop One’s Faculties) 1990 Mii (ZON) 1990 Miyako (DEZERT) 1990 Wataru (Pisarro) 1990 逢坂虹司 (ex.モノ gt) 1991 Hibiki Shiraishi (matenrou opera sup) 1993 Katsuya (ex.CodeRebirth, Misanthropist) 1994 Tatsuki Nakanishi (Sick.) 1994 Ryuya (DIMLIM) 1995 りゅた (タソガレ二鳴ク。) 1995 Ray (DEVILOOF) 1996 Setsuna/Shota Yoshino (ex.unfate) 1998

Meto is younger than Mia. i'm pretty sure he was born in 1993 making him 25. I can tell you for the bands I follow: XAA-XAA Kazuki 29 Haru 29 Reiya 34 An idk for sure but he's the youngest. My guess is 27 or 28. Amai Bouryoku Saki 32 Kei 22 Aya and Yoshi are older than Saki but idk by how much. JILUKA Sena 25 (he accidentally dropped a hint about his age as I was talking to him) The others are allegedly around the same age give or take a year but I think Zyean might be a bit older. DIMLIM Ryuya 23 Retsu 21 or 22 Taishi 27 or 28 Sho 26 (that's what I heard from the Japanese fans but no one knows for sure) Hiroshi idk but probably around the same age as Sho and Taishi.

Yes Takeru Born in 1987, I read that. I read Mahiro is the younger of Kiryu and he's done his age in his old bands. And I read recently Mitsuki says he had 30 's ... so I don't know >.<". False ! He's born in 1987, he's said that on his old blog :Ameba For Tomoya and Koudai the year of their birth are unknown , but it's the same year. Shinpei born in 1985 and not in 1989 because he's a senpai for Takeru in Highschool and not a kohai , XD. I read Tsuzuku born in 1986. I read here that Yo-Ka born in 1987. Kouki born in 1980 here.

This in no means is me wanting to force jrockers to speak English. I just want to know. ❤️❤️❤️

アザレア (Azalea) new one-coin single "サヨナラ。(Sayonara.)" will be released at 2018/11/19.

I agree with the yoshiki thing. Just talked to a friend about that. Let's just hope he won't film some documentary called I am Dir en Grey which is actually not about his band but just about him, and has no value whatsoever.

One fact I'm 100% sure is that Chobi (ex. DIV) is from 1984. And I remember seeing Hiroki (ex. TRA TRA TRA, now in Ageha) accidentally showing his birth year on Twitter. It was 1987 or something around that (he deleted that tweet so I cannot check).

I kind of dig the Yoshiki thing. Dude's having steak and fries with his 朝食 too, no fucks to give. Check out that huge thing of ketchup. Unless it's fruit punch or something.

Initial'L's Satoshi knows/studies english think

satsuki

La'veil Mizeria's old drummer (Yuuna?) lived in London for a couple of years, so he's fluent in English. Majyu (Devil Kitty/Shape Shifter) travels a lot and speaks decent English at least.

Right, it’s psychological. Which means it’s actually a thing people go thru.

I remember Mao (Sadie, the Thirteen) went to study in England some time ago. Not sure if he still studies or practices English though.

Ruinmaru the singer of Vivarush take lessons for speak in English. Miku the singer of An Cafe takes lessons for speak in English. I don't know for others.

I remember long time ago i speak one member from AUBE in Pigg he speak little bit English

I think Gackt and Morrie speak English.

Whenever I see pictures of Kaoru these days I cannot help but think that he has some type of midlife crisis 😂 I much prefer him with brown hair. His blue hair is okay, his blonde hair was....let’s not talk about his blonde hair 😂

The mini-album is now available digitally! OTOTOY Apple iTunes I encourage people to buy through OTOTOY, and you can get it in FLAC for the same price as iTunes M4A. You can also use PayPal. This is a fantastic mini btw, don't sleep on them ;_;.

Gara (MERRY) 40 Yuu (MERRY) 40 (older than Gara by a couple of months) Sui (David, ex-Megaromania) 37 Misery 35 Kisaki 42 that's all I got off the top of my head

all good

There you go!

I once read somewhere that Rame was apparently born in 1978. If my math is correct, I think he would be 40 this year.

Hey guys, I found a table of connections (from an old Cure issue, vol. 12, 2004 ) that includes some of the biggest labels which existed during the "golden age" of vk. There's also a list with some of the most important bands of said labels next to it plus a timeline of the bands on the other side. I find it pretty cool so I thought you guys might be interested in seeing it too! (sorry for the lame pictures but I couldn't scan the document cause it's a weird format and it won't fit in my scanner).

Buglug: Masa -1987 Issei-1987 Kazuki-1983 Yu-1984 Tsubame- 1984 Codomo Dragon: Hayato- 1984(rumoured name Hakodate Tsunoda) Yume- 1991 (aww he's just a baby) Men-Men - 1985 Kana- 1985 Chamu- 1984 Royz: Tomoya- 1988 Subaru (And his twin Kento) 1992 Kuina- 1991 Koudai- 1988 Kiryu: Mahiro- 1983 Mitsuki- 1982 Junji-1983? Takemasa- 1982 Hiyori-1983 Diaura: Yoka- 1992 SHoya- 1991/1992 Kei-1992 Tatsuya- 1991 SuG: Yuji- 1985 Takeru-1987 Masato-1984 Chiyu-1983 Shinpei-1989 Dog in the PWO: Kanna- oldest Haru- 1987 JunJun-1984 Mizuki- youngest Mei-1986 Mejibray: Meto- 1991 (rumor- his brother is the lead singer of Baboo) Tsuzuku- 1985 Mia- 1991 Koichi- 1987

Pretty sure Takeru from SuG is 31. Kouki from dauto is 35 if not already 40. Yoshiki probably 55+ despite all the procedures. I thought Rame (vidoll) would be older than 40. Mejibray,I wonder how old tzk and Koichi are? It's impossible to tell how old mia is but I'm gonna guess 30+ due to all the cosmetics.

Lol, Masato from Kaitou Sentai is 30. Rame (ex vidoll) probably 35-40 Kisaki 40+ But yeah, 30-40 seems right for most established bands. The young guys are in the do-do-do minor bands

he's mathematically at the lowest a 1986/1987 baby; i've pegged him about 2-4 years younger than Hazuki from lynch. (1982) based on their discussions about the scene in their youth, so i think you have a good guess

their best release, imo

I just saw this and realized I completely abandoned my lyrics translations. Okay : ) I'll try to do it sometime this week.

I love Emiru being all chill and stuff, but I miss aicle. so much. They had so much potential to explore. I don't hate oshare, but they made the genre easier to swallow and always kept me surprised by the next thing (until they started going soft). Now that they're not in the scene, it's always like "oh, here come another song with amai/chocolate/princess/christmas/love" in the title.... zzzzz We need oshare bands to start getting creative, think outside the small box of generic themes for once otherwise the genre will remain dead. I'll be checking out everyone else mentioned in the post! Just hope I don't get too attached.
