the femme fatale fanclub of monochrome heaven are sending our official condolences to the band and their fans!

I have to thank Serah from Labaiser for posting the link to that article, while also commenting "Labaiser prohibits in-band romances, so we don't have to worry about this". legendddd

THAT SOLO IS JUICY AF. LISTEN TO GAIN 5 YEARS OF LIFE

tbh It's not really ridiculous if the vocalist and his fiancee plan to continue their relationship. As if the affair itself wasn't a big enough offense, continuing to work with "the other woman" would just be throwing salt on the wound. Affairs are hurtful, messy business and they usually have these kinds of negative ripple effects. That said....who the fuck is this band anyways????

it is

i have listened to this so many times in the past 30 minutes and i must say, THIS TRACK/VIDEO HAS EVERYTHING endless, head-spinning guitar-tapping chuggy dissonant riffs the entire crew basically just chilling in a hospital during a jazz solo bed-ridden infirmary joker impossibly high vocal harmonies a man in a leather bodysuit at least 4 actual genres of music goth gf Ryuya i'm supposed to just go back to OTHER MUSIC now?

none of them, they'd just try to steal my wallet

and i OOP

yo this is actually legit really, really good & it's p fucked up how thoroughly mediocre this makes like the majority of the contemporary vk scene look by comparison

There's an interview with Sho about the single: https://toppamedia.com/interview-2019-6-dimlim-sho-vo/ I'm sorry I'm too busy to translate, but to sum it up he wrote the song about him growing up with depersonalization disorder which probably developed as a result of being bullied (which was mentioned in an earlier interview)

By infidelity, I thought it was going to be one of those cases where a member is working on another project/ with another band on the side without their initial band's knowledge or approval. But this case scenario actually makes a lot more sense.

Just got my copy of Gracia, so went ahead and ripped the PVs to YouTube. Thought this thread would appreciate. Enjoy!! Quality could be better, but DVD doesn't give me much to work with when ripping. Either way, hope you enjoy!!

me right now

The third guy must be mad

As if we hadn't heard all the ridiculous reasons for a band to break up... Three-member band shigatsu. (formed in early 2018) have disbanded on June 1 due to infidelity, mainly on the vocalist's part. It was discovered that vocalist 吉田拓海 (Takumi Yoshida) (also known as よしたく (Yoshitaku)), who had been engaged to his fiancee, was having an affair with female bassist 鈴木文香 (Suzuki Fumika) (also known as ふみちゃん (Fumichan)). As a result, the respective members have apologized for their actions and the band have disbanded. Statement from shigatsu. before they deleted their Twitter and OHP: I would have also shared their music video here, but it seems they purged their Youtube as well. Original news article basically requoting the band's statement, including Yoshida and Fumi's statements: http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/16553097/

仮病 - ブラクラ gulu gulu - 変なメリーゴーランド (Type 不味い盤 and 美味い盤) JILUKA – Polyhedron (Type A) ...well we almost made the same order. ;D

I feel sorry for the third guy. When you didn't sleep with anyone in the band, but get fucked anyway.

So it's confirmed, DIMLIM is better than your favourite band.

(amy lee voice) these wounds won't seem to heal · this pain is just too real 😭

Kyan from Golden Bomber. We can go eat, and then after that we'll go eat, and later on we'll go eat.

ヴァージュ - Gracia-ガラシャ- (w/DVD, 2019, SDR-346-A) gulu gulu - 変なメリーゴーランド 不味い盤 (2019, HEDO-001) gulu gulu - 変なメリーゴーランド 美味い盤 (2019, HEDO-002)

Shinjuku National Gardens are quite lovely and peaceful, even with tons of other people around. For the polar opposite, I can't recommend Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho (Piss Alley/Memory Lane) enough. The former for drinks, the latter for food. Small, cramped, crowded, and a ton of fun to just hop in and out of different places. They were some of the highlights of my trip, even with tons of tourists wandering about (myself included). Outside of that, the must-visit VK shops are all within a block of each other in Nishishinjuku. Like an Edison, Pure Sound, Closet Child, and Jishuban Club/Club Indies. Ton of good eats in the area, too, but really everything I had in Japan was delicious so you really can't go wrong. (I mean this, not even in like a Japan fanboy kind of way, it was all really that good.)

remember kids, heavy isn't everything that solo is GOTY so far, daaaaaamn

These dudes is on another level. I fuckin love it.

They went full-on CHON in that solo bit. But seriously, this is pretty great listen. I'm a sucker for any and all prog rock, but the track was really playful without giving up a lot in the "heavy" department. Easily my favorite of theirs by far.

Love the vocals (especially the chorus) and the solo, but that annoying "guitar noodling on the high strings just to fill space" trend needs to die already. Disjointed song but good execution I guess...?

I feel more sorry for the guy's fiancée than anyone else. It's shitty that the other guy had to pretty much quit the band just because the other two decided to be cunts, but this woman was planning to spend the rest of her life with her partner and he just goes behind her back like this. This is just terrible. ⬆️

Ai (Gulu Gulu) , JoJo (Gallo) or Keisuke (Deviloof) , they look like fun. Or Sho (dimlim) , he seems enigmatic and kinda grim, wanted to talk about dir en grey with him.

I feel a little disappointed with the track 😕 It feels like they tried to fit too many different things into one song and the transitions sound abrupt and unpleasant. Really enjoy the guitar at the very beginning and the chorus tho. Hopefully with a few more listens I’ll come to enjoy it.

The worst part about being a VK fan is that it’s not as well known. Finding another VK fan at your school is a rare occasion. I’m probably the only VK fan at my school lol.

I knew it, it was worth the hype. It's amazing. Saviours of VK.

Well, that was a fucking treat.

Wow that was really great

yeeeeeeeeeeHAW that's what i'm talkin about!!!

Talk about NTR. Third guy got fucked, but not in the way that feels good. Those two worked fast in erasing all of their tracks from the internet. Can't even find a picture of the band. EDIT: Thank Kami for Japanese netizens. Here's the band: Guy in the middle is the one who wasn't involved. And here are the two:

That title alone was a fuckin ride

Cover art:

I'm cleaning out my VK closet, so I'm gonna start listing stuff for free. Like R-指定 SHOXX single, and MULTIPLE copies of CDs stuff. So coming soon in the future.

.

Couple of recent items. I'm especially happy with NM condition GAUZE (ltd. edition) and a pristine copy of Perfect Garden (which btw, I found for 1€ on ebay!) 😁

Often I feel like I was the only fan of this band on this board. Lots of promise sadly unfulfilled

1. Red (em) 2. Toguro 3. Kodou 4. Namamekashiki....(unplugged) 5. Myaku 6. Yokan 7. Merciless cult 8. Umbrella 9. Marmalade chainsaw 10. R to the core 11. Bugaboo 12. Tousei 13. Sajo no uta 14. Unconceived sorrow 15. Tsumi no batsu 16. C 17. Zomboid 18. Embryo 19. Mr Newsman 20. The fatal believer

Needless to say, I'd choose Takeru from CLACK inc., I think we'd spend the day at home watching movies and nerding out (he went to film school and he's a huge movie and anime nerd). I would also love to go to karaoke with him as I love singing (and he's a vocalist obviously so). For something a bit out of the ordinary, I'd like to explore a haunted location with him cause we're both into this shit lol

preview sounds a bit disjointed but it has nice parts

shigatsu must be Japanese for "Home wrecking duo"

this is god's work plz keep doing it *heart eyes*
