I fear that DIMLIM is not long for this world. Retsu is a great songwriter, but clearly a shitty businessman. I’m willing to bet that the band’s troubles rest squarely on him making poor decisions. Anyone that will bitch at fans on Instagram for finding alternate means of hearing music that was sold at one show in Japan – and NOWHERE ELSE – obviously doesn’t have their head on straight. Also, for a band that records such densely layered music to continue on playing live without a second guitarist and bass player is asinine. Retsu is clearly in too deep, and Sho and Hiroshi are probably ready to GTFO. The live shows matter; that’s what brings people in. Record sales don’t mean shit anymore, so even if DIMLIM manages to squeak out a new album, it won’t matter if they promote it with pathetic live performances. I wonder if Retsu is the type that doesn’t want any outsiders handling the music, and he just wants to do it all himself to keep his integrity or whatever. If that’s the case he needs to get over himself and find some management. the other guys probably saw this coming and that’s why they bounced.

It's perfect.

Looks a bit bleak for the band. It does seem weird they are still pushing so much without a complete lineup, cool that they are trying to make do given the situation but seriously they need to get it together and become a solid unit again. ORRRR they can just call it quits and Retsu can do his own solo project called "DIMLIM2" and just do the music on the side of his job as a salary man. Or, 3rd option, they can wait until summer 2020 when I hopefully will be moving to Japan (fingers crossed!) and I can join them as second guitarist OR bassist OR BOTH and help pull them out of their slump. lol.

I just wanna go on record & say that there has literally never been a person identifying as 'sapiosexual' that wasn't dumb as a sack of fucking rocks themselves

I've gotta say out of all things that un-ironically make me genuinely happy is, Sonic The Hedgehog. Even being a huge fan Im not exactly sure what draws me in, maybe it's the lush world, the dynamics between characters or just the general light hearted feel overall. Im such a huge baby but whatever, the games themselves whilst, not always are the best, can have fun in them of course. Whilst that amount of fun can vary for different folks, theres even a shred of enjoyment to be had. The Characters dynamics with each other is also something very endearing. The way Sonic's cocky, heroic attitude meshes with Tails's kind, good boy demeanor makes me smile like a doof. I love their friendship and the character arc for Tails that he can't always depend on Sonic because there are times when Sonic can't be there and that's something I really appreciate cause not all best buddy/sidekick dynamics are given that arc. I love that Shadow, given how much his past sucked, was able to let go and move on for the sake of his future. Even though his amnesia wasn't handled in the best way..because people could've honestly told him about his past but looking back on it now, it kinda makes sense that no one told him given how things went aboard the ARK it seems like that subject is a bit...heavy to explain to him that everyone he cared about were wiped out because of his development and existence along with the fact that amnesia is not cured just by simply listening to what someone tells you. The Soundtracks for the Sonic games are something I give credit for my love of multiple genres of music. The most Notable ones being, -Planetary Pieces (Sonic Unleashed OST) -Digi Log Conversation (Sonic Adventure OST) -Shooting Star Story (Sonic Riders ZG OST) -Complete Trinity (Sonic Heroes OST) -Multi-Dimensional (Sonic Adventure 2 OST) -Lost and Found (Shadow The Hedgehog OST) -Speedbeats Grand Prix (Sonic Riders OST) -VIVID SOUND X HYBRID COLORS (Sonic Colors OST) -Original Groove Rush(Sonic Rush OST) I recommend some if not all of these soundtracks, i feel like theres something for everyone in them from Industrial Metal to Smooth Jazz, to some cheesy Vocal tracks that have that corny charm to them that'll have you singing along after the first listen or two. For me, everything about this series, flaws and all genuinely bring a type of weightlessness to my chest that I'd only be able to attain through narcotic sedation. I definitely cannot wait for the new Movie, they have my boi looking absolutely adorable. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

ユメリープ (Yumeleep) has revealed new look!

please regroup as 'Slut' and let me l i v e this day

They have announced their separation due to differences in direction and objectives.

Love people testimoning about their love over little things like cartoons characters. It's always a heart-warming thing to read. Thanks 💖

How I miss SuG 🧡

Totally unexpected; do these 2 bands even know each other? But according to Aoi: cali gari had a coupling tour with Kein, which is where he got to know Mako. Ok, I just read a separate article here: http://v-kei.jp/news/?newsId=9652 and it states that cali≠gari AND deadman will be collaborating on a song(?)/single(?) and it will be sold during the 3 lives!!!

R指定 (R-Shitei) 29th maxi-single "遺書" (Isho) will be released at 2019/12/25 (2 types) Limited edition (2310yen) will include CD (2 songs) and DVD including "遺書" (Isho) PV and Making Regular edition (1650yen) will include CD (2 songs) only [tracklist] 01. 遺書 (Isho) 02. -透明- (Toumei)

I love this band and I really hope the album is a killer - but I echo the sentiments that continuing on with this half-lineup is a big cause for concern. How old is Retsu? Mid-20s, maybe? Just browsing his social media definitely makes me feel like he's going through that thing that all creative types tend to go through where you just...outwardly reject whatever it is you think people want you to do. From the dropping of visuals to not filling out the lineup to what seems to be a lot of over-promising for things that just don't seem possible (they announced another full length literally like...MONTHS before RELEASE?? REALLY??), this is the stuff that ends bands. And I really hope that's not the case here, I really want them to pull it through, but I don't think they can do that as a three piece.

some live snippets - i really hope they'll make it long enough to be able to release another CD. they sound really great!! also i was very surprised by how many male fans they seem to have.

II love those guys but they could make their stuff a bit more accessible, couldn't they? Their official page is always out, I can't even find a list of all their releases, shit is underground as fuck

Zowi.....

not what I was expecting and I'm REALLY excited for it. also wow boys that warehouse is MUCH bigger than the previous video congrats!

it's because of the increase of the value added tax in Japan

Just hate it when one idiot fucks over a band like that. Anyway he got cut out of official photos and ohp.

Support members - 2020/01/05: Gu.嫉-shitsu- (ex.篠突く雨(Shinotsuku Ame), Fi'Ance.) Ba.玉城総司(Tamaki Souji) (ex.マーブルヘッド(Marblehead))

Golly gee whiz. This fuckin' sucks. They are going to finish out the rest of the years lives with a support drummer but Yusa said there will be a break from activity after.

stan raku x gaki

title of their new maxi-single to be released at 2020/01 has been finalized as "-反抗声明-" (Hankou Seimei) (2 songs) [tracklist] M1.-反抗声明- (Hankou Seimei) M2.美しい名前 (Utsukushii Namae)

Merry was the first band to perform with deadman recently (for their 18th anniversary in fact!!!)...where was THEIR collab single??? bitches

it's not that dramatic i got 2 twoshots plus the songs live aswell 😛 so it's fine i think

isn't this kind of a...valid excuse for losing contact??? they surely didn't give him time to message his bandmates on his way to jail? like this srsly looks unnecessarily harsh, boi has reasons!!!

All 3 discs for Vestige Of Scratches have been uploaded to EU spotify recently, I think they're just trying to get more of their discography onto a streaming platform. Weird how they added the -Kai- remix album though.

Today's the Ramen-O-Rama Festival and I'm seriously nervous. Not cuz of the festival itself but the fact that they know who I am now because of all the back-and-forth emails the organization and I exchanged lol. I'll be sure to post pics later if it doesn't bomb!

it's like literally every single band mh was still hype about at the start of the year has managed to either fall off the wagon or turn into a huge mess except for gulu gulu

After the pitiful, cringe-worthy performance I saw last Friday I wouldn’t hold my breath for the album. Here’s some tea: some gya commented on twitter how disastrous the whole thing was and Retsu blocked her from his account and the official account. Then proceeded to whine on Instagram. The other guys looked so done. I’m willing to bet they either want out or a different path but can’t say no to Retsu. Btw, it was SO bad I couldn’t even stay for the whole performance. The only other band that made me nope the fuck out in the middle of a song was Yumeleep. A bunch of westerners with me also walked out of it and thought it was painful to look at. I see more agaru in this band’s questionable future. They won’t make it past the album, that is, if it’s ever released.

Monochrome Heaven posters are gonna say that Shinya's Seraph is good but this sucks lmao

Kanye's new shit is weird

Am I allowed to like VK bands but dislike the way the VK scene works?

Mexico stahp

Yuk, it's so messy compared to their usual stuff. Now they've gone and completely erased the vocalist's chin. I really want to know if it's that bad under that chin mask.

And this is why I suggested a new band thread so we can stop cluttering the news thread with this crap. lol.
