whatever happened to ORCALADE?

Blameitonjorge is awesome

Just listened to this single and wow...good to see oshare kei making a comeback! This is awesome 😊

original

You're joining the PS4 party soon! Just wondering but what drew you to the Xbone?

not very surprising - i was waiting for them to finally announce the postponement to be honest since we were so close to the release date and still no shared tracklist etc. anyway i hope they get their production issues fixed cuz i am very excited for this release.

Y’all are making me so lonley. Legit I feel like I’m the only Xbox player in here lol.

Zetsuenai was amazing and im looking forward to this long ass shit

I loved IDEAL too. I had a little mixed feelings after 荊海 BEYOND and was a little hesitant what this single would be like but I got very positively surprised by it in the end. These guys are really one of my favorite bands at the moment. also, I'll hopefully be getting 荊海 CODA around next week or the week after that ^^ It was supposed to be here this week already buuuut it got a bit lost at one point... All this waiting and waiting is making me go crazy...

I did a small dance cover of it in cosplay and Reno and Ohana liked it HFNFHDHFHDHFGGFH Also Twitter fucked up and tagged Ryohei twice instead of Mary the second time and I didn't notice until after it was Tweeted heck

You automatically win this thread for repping Smeagle 🙂

I've had them for a few years. I've got the HD 600, the Corsair VOID RGB headset, ATH M50xs, the HD 518's and the HiFiMan HE 400, and the 600s are my favorite pair to use. They sound just as good as the planars and they're a lot lighter on the head. Velour pads are a god send for long listening sessions in humid weather. That's why I ended up modding those headphones and not a different pair that I barely use. Never had the pleasure of owning a tube amp, so I can't say how they sound with those, but the Magni/Modi 1 drive them just fine. Sound very neutral and that can either be an excellent thing or a bad thing, depends on if you like flavor in your music. But honestly that's something a bit of EQ can fix. I like the neutral sound, even if it can be a bit revealing at times.

I've never listened to the mad dogs myself but I've heard that the MK3 is close but just not as refined at the MD mod. Also the MK3 are even more power hungry than the MD, if you can barely push the MD then you have no chance for the MK3. It is the most power hungry cans I own. As for sound the MK3 is super mid focused with a decent amount of treble, they shine with female vocals and is my favorite thing about listening to them. They are a little bass-lite which is one of the main reasons I'm gonna send them in for the Argon conversion. Yeah Zeos is a big influence on my purchasing habits as well as a few other reviewers, I took both the foobar portrait ultra wide monitor and the yoga mat idea from his setup for my own. but seriously yoga mat is like one of the best things I ever discovered from him, I put that shit on everything now. It is vibration and sound dampening as well as slip proof and it makes everything look cooler imo, also don't have to worry about dust anymore.

Zetsuentai was tired as fuck. I was hoping they were done trying to chase Vinushka. As long as new single doesn’t do the same old pretty melody HEAVY RARRRGH drop again. I guess.

my ALEVAS [root] bundle. Comes with 2 signed band photos, signed cheki (I selected Yuji) a demo cd and ofc the single itself

The Mad Dogs are still really nice, but the stickers on the side have peeled off so they just look like the MK2s on the outside. I actually bought the last pair Dan sold on the site, so hopefully mine last for a long time. I thought about the Alpha upgrade, but I heard the mod made the cans slightly too sibilant, which I'm a bit sensitive to. The stack is nice, but the Magni 2 doesn't drive enough power to my liking for the MDs which I have it go out to the Panasonic (so it functions as a pre-amp.) How do the MK3s compare to the Mad Dog mod? I heard the MK3s were a marked improvement over the MK2s, but I wasn't sure how they compared to the MDs. Also have to mention that your setup reminds me of Zeos' (Z Reviews), who's influenced most of my audio-related purchases. Nice :D. Oh yea, none of them play nice with USB 3.0. I have a USB 2.0 switcher that my Modi is plugged in to. --- Forgot to mention on the portable end I have LG Tone Platinums (I bought refurb), Jaybird X3s (that need repairing), Tin Audio T2s, and Koss KSC75s (rip etika). Since adapters/dongles are dogshit and bluetooth eats my battery, I have my iPod Classic 6g w/ Rockbox as my backup device once the phone battery gets low. Also my Vita can't do newer gen bluetooth, so I'm forced to go wired anyway.

Right now I've got: Shure SE215's: longest lasting pair I've had, got 'em in late '15, had to replace the cable once last year, but I'm thinking of upgrading Burmester speakers for my car ('10 Porsche Panamera S): dropped the bass by 3/6, raised the treble by 3/6, gives it a more balanced sound, no other modifications. [doesn't have pictures of the car speakers] I unfortunately don't have any good in-home speakers. A few years ago, I got a DOSS Bluetooth speaker to use with my computer and turntable, but it sounds shitty so I use it as a book-end for my 7" records. Whenever I listen to records, I have a Creative Sound Blaster that I only use so I can adjust the volume (left). Sometimes when I don't want to move my record player from the shelf in my closet to the floor or my desk, I'll add in some Bluetooth equipment that purists would frown upon (right). Most of my music listening is with my earbuds or in the car, so what I've got works for now (unless everyone's gone and I want to listen to music on speakers, in which case, ugh).

Speaking of Schiit stacks, @colorful人生 inspired me to get my own Magni/Modi set up. I was having trouble getting Windows 10 to recognize the device as something that plugs in but doesn't communicate with it. I think I need to avoid USB 3.0 ports or something because the Magni/Modi 1 doesn't play nice with them. And here's what it's attached to, Sennheiser HD 600 with a Modmic Wireless attached.

I hope you guys can access this video. I did a thing, I saw a listing on mercari for a bunch of their CDs and one I haven't seen before had a QR code on it. I scanned the listing photo and this video is what came up I don't see it on the list of all the videos on their channel so it probably was only available via QR?

Hats are an underrated accessory in VK

I just read on MH somewhere that this never happens, so probably a fake setlist

short ver. now, longer ver. on itunes, longest ver. on 『average flatulence』 PV DVD/BR next year I guess

"band pic"

You guys are clogging up this thread. Take it to PMs if it's really that interesting of a side-topic.

Idk why so determined to prove that Hizumi’s project is crap based on the encore, did he hurt you or something? Lol.

Welp, I guess I'm going to enter the bidding wars for a copy of the live limited CD on Yahoo Auctions. Wish me luck lol. I wish the money could go to the band instead of the person who bought it profiting off of it but 🙃 What can you do I guess. I'm going to be buying all of their subsequent releases to support the band as best as I can from abroad. Hopefully I can go see them live sometime next year. If no one gets to it before me (given that I actually win a copy) I will probably upload it on here.

It's been awhile, eh? Welp, got a new haircut two weeks ago.

They aren't remotely similar aside from the types of instruments they use... which are typical of a metal band anyway. Deftones is excellent, though.

we need an old head. SATOSHI from DID COmE THRUUUUU also hype af for new album :')

Honestly, I don't 100% understand the need to pick it apart and try to figure out how certain genders are supposed to or tend to like vk. I wish we could just sort of enjoy it and leave it at that but I guess that's not realistic. As a trans person (I bring this up because I used to be a "typical teen female fan" and am now a male fan, so I've been on both sides), it was always a mixed bag of loving the style and wanting to be like/dress like them, being attracted to the pretty members, and loving the music and the scene in general. It was like that from the beginning for me and honestly I would bet that it's mostly mixed of a few or even all of those things for most people. It's true that I used to be more into the members back then, but I think that had more to do with me being a teen than my perceived gender at the time lol. I still find a handful of members good looking but that's not much of a draw for me anymore (I am gay though, and js but I'm getting sick of seeing the claim on here that "gay men aren't attracted to androgynous men" lmao speak for yourself henny). Now I love the music and I guess I am pretty into the collecting aspect of it, but I think I have always been. I've always been into the aggressive, harsher sounding bands (UnsraW used to be one of my favorites back then) so idk if that really has anything to do with it. I'm more into the style than ever too, I started trying out my own vk looks within the last year. That's my personal experience anyway. And as others said, of course there is a difference between western fans' experiences/tendencies and those of Japanese fans. Also, I think the culture is changing over in Japan surrounding male fans. I think they're becoming more common and band members in newer bands are becoming a bit more open minded about it. Especially backed up with what Paraph was saying. The whole vk culture has changed so much even from when I first got into it and I definitely think that's part of it that has changed for sure, even if just by a bit.

They have joined Shimizuya Records as of today.

Me trying to resist new releases like

Tomo (emmurée) Euskyss (Leetspeak Monsters) hati (ex 9Goats) Tsunehito (D) Kazu (ex Kagerou) Yu~ki (Malice Mizer) Tetsu (Merry)

I like Mio's vocals and most of nazare's stuff so far, Issei should stop bitching about the music being uploaded to youtube and start making it available for purchase outside the lives.
