if only they were more colorful like this. missed opportunity tbh

Apologies for the necro bump, but I found this thread on google randomly while trying to find the band "Cannabis", which wasn't mentioned anywhere in this thread. Cannabis is literally the most 'nu metal' sounding visual kei band I have ever heard, and I will post two of their songs below to give an example of what I'm talking about. Apparently the guitarist would later go to 6 ft down, which is kinda cool I guess. lol

i was so late to the party on gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy, what a fucking good band

New band "Astaroth" has formed no further informations yet @Astaroth_info

Tracklist: 1. "絶縁体" (Zetsuentai) 2. "人間を被る" (Ningen o Kaburu) 3. "Downfall" 4. "Devote My Life" 5. "Values of Madness" 6. "Celebrate Empty Howls" 7. "赫" (Aka) 8. "Merciless Cult" 9. "Rubbish Heap" 10. "軽蔑と始まり" (Keibetsu to Hajimari) 11. "谿壑の欲" (Keigaku no Yoku) 12. "Ranunculus" 13. "The World of Mercy" Encore: 14. "Followers" 15. "朔-saku-" 16. "詩踏み" (Utafumi) After an unceremonious dinner of two donuts, I trudged my way through the rain and darkness to Gramercy Theatre for Dir en grey's TOUR 19: THIS WAY TO SELF-DESTRUCTION stop at New York City. I had concerns about the weather since it was raining all week, but thankfully the rain eased up by the time I reached the back of the line. The line wasn't the sea of umbrellas I had anticipated; other Dir en grey fans were less fazed by the weather and relied on the scaffolding to shield them from the elements. I made quick friends in line with the fans around me and we got to shooting the clay about different visual kei bands, which really helped to pass the time. Like I noted with my previous live experience at Playstation Theater, all types of fans rolled out to see the band; goth kings and queens, scene kids from high school and college, older metal heads, obvious netizens like myself, and everyone in between. One cosplayer impressed me with his "OBSCURE"-era Kyo outfit, while another gaggle of friends looked like shinobi. It's refreshing to know that Dir en grey's appeal is still universal. Unlike my experience in line at the GazettE, Dir en grey fans know their trivia. The organization was impressive until I stepped inside the venue, at which point it looked like a bomb went off. For those not in the know, Gramercy Theatre has a max occupancy of 499 people. There felt like way more than 499 people in line and in the venue. The security check was much more extensive - the guy went through my bag twice to make sure I had no recording equipment before searching me for weapons - but that part was organized. The true chaos was differentiating the merchandise line from the coat check line from the alcohol line. Everything and everyone was one vibrant, pulsating mass the minute I made my way down the stairs to the basement level. I fought my way to the merch line, which at this point was short because everyone was checking in their coats, and ten minutes I later I was greeted with disappointment. There were legit five pieces of merchandise available for sale, and the items I wanted were not in my size. Shirts were $40, the hoodie was $70. I spent enough money to pay down the karma debt on my years of downloading Dir en grey's music in one shot, and nabbed myself a sweet hoodie so big I could swim in it (as they only had small and extra large available). I'm shocked they didn't bring any copies of The Insulated World to sell, because I'm sure plenty of fans would have bought. Shoved the goodies in my bag, checked in all my stuff for eight dollars (definitely recommend buying a ticket with guaranteed coat check to ease the process here), then fought my way upstairs and into the venue. It's pretty narrow at first, but quickly opens up to two sections, one for standing and one for sitting. There were easily 400 people here by the time I found the alcohol bar, and seats were disappearing fast. Copped a Bud Light for $14, then ended up sitting off to the left side for the entirety of the show. For sonic balance reasons I suggest you sit or stand as close to the center as you can; Die stood to the right side and I could barely hear him, but Toshiya and Kaoru stood to the left and I could hear them clearly. BYSTS cancelled at the last minute due to scheduling conflicts, was no opening act for the New York show. This was not communicated to us beforehand, so I sat around for what felt like an eternity before the show actually began. Once the lights dimmed the crowd came to life. As the band members strode onto stage one by one backed by an SE I've never heard before, all I could see were the instruments faintly coming into the light as the strobe lights moved so fast one could catch a seizure, and the crowd heads bobbing with the occasional camera capturing the live. It was time. Despite Dir en grey performing both "絶縁体" (Zetsuentai) and "The World of Mercy", the show felt as if it passed even faster than the GazettE. Dir en grey gave a great show overall and performing the album songs live has changed my perspective on them. Kyo's Joker-lite face paint was a nice surprise for sure; I wonder how influenced he was by the eponymous movie released earlier this year. He tried to get us to sing along a few times and was obviously pissed when we didn't know the words, but what can you expect from a crowd whose first language isn't Japanese? I can recall he tried during "Rubbish Heap" and "The World of Mercy", and the second attempt was much more successful than the first. Photos courtesy of u/ raggedypan from Reddit. The biggest change are my opinions on "絶縁体" and "Devote my Life", tracks I didn't enjoy on disc but enjoyed greatly live. Unfortunately, "The World of Mercy" is still a big miss for me. Even understanding that the song is the thematic end to The Insulated World didn't shake my convictions, although I must admit that the music video for this song is unapologetically brutal, even for Dir en grey. It is hard to describe what I saw since the video was censored with a triangle overlay, but there was a bloody rampage that starts about halfway through. I don't understand what's so shocking that it needs to be censored live, considering they played the uncensored versions of the "朔-saku-" and "人間" PV's. Having said that, Kyo pantomiming disembowelment during "The World of Mercy" is one of the highlights of the show for sure. Aside from "赫" (Aka), most of the time the projects were little more than a lyrics video. "赫" (Aka) has a beautiful music video of burning baby dolls and piano with a red filter over all of it accompanied by some lyrics. It's tame so I hope they officially release it after the tour's conclusion. In comparison, "絶縁体"'s video is a more cryptic affair of flashing imagery, one that works better live than as a standalone music video. The way "絶縁体" ends stuck with me far after the show is over. At the end, the music video was revealed to be within the mind of a human, so thematically "絶縁体" and "人間を被る" are much more connected than I thought. It also ends on same "human slicing" technique that we saw in "人間"'s PV. The heavy use of projection imagery also explains why the set lists for each stop on the North American tour are almost identical, save for one song in the encore. I hope all of the visualizations and more come our way via the next installment of the AVERAGE collection of uncensored music videos (AVERAGE INCEL?). This was an album-heavy show, but we still got some throw backs in the form of "Merciless Cult" and "朔-saku-". The former came on halfway through the show where as the latter was part of the encore. The new version of "朔-saku-" - which is basically the studio version with gutturals replacing the screams - was pretty dope, but I felt that the new version of "Merciless Cult" live hit so much harder. "詩踏み", the encore closer, was also much better than the studio version. The extended distortion was the perfect way to end the encore. I'm jealous that Denver got "腐海" (Fukai 2018) and that Dallas got "理由" (Wake), but that's how it is sometimes. The New York crowd was a rough one. I sat in the back like the old rock geezer I am, but at one point during the show I saw security pull one person out from the crowd who was getting crushed. There was also a crowd surfer at another point during the show, which was also wild. I actually got to spoke to him after and he was a pretty chill dude. If you are of a smaller frame or have doubts about the ferocity of the pit, I would find a seat before the show begins. As the show winded down to a close, the band members disappeared one by one. Shinya and Kyo were the first to go, leaving the stage almost immediately after the encore. Shinya threw his drum sticks into the crowd and disappeared second; Kyo was first. Toshiya hung around for a bit but didn't engage the crowd much and left soon after. It was the two guitarists, Die and Kaoru, that entertained the crowd the most. They waved at the fans, threw picks and water bottles at the crowd, and took their leave after two minutes. We were treated to a bit more darkness before the lights cut on and reality came crawling back. The show was over and it was time to go home. If getting inside the venue was a pain in the ass, getting out was an even bigger one. I played my cards right and still had trouble getting around. The downstairs area was simply too small to contain all of us. I heavily advise buying merchandise before coat check. There's a wider assortment of goodies available before the show and a lot of people wait until after the show to buy, so more likely than not you will always be on the shorter line. I was on line long enough to meet up with @Ro plz and chat about our experiences for a bit, but the scene was too chaotic and we were quickly separated. I tried to wait outside, but there was another show for SURFACES lined up and the security were motioning for us to disperse. I stuck around for ten minutes, chatted with some random fans, and bounced. I had a blast and can definitely recommend seeing Dir en grey live if you have the money or can snag the tickets for a reasonable price. Money was the biggest contributing factor on my decision to go; buying the tickets from a scalper ran me almost $200! This was one of their better live performances judged solely off of all the live recordings I have seen and heard of the band, and Kyo is in good shape vocally for this tour. Go with friends if you can, and if not try to arrange to meet up with people from here! Fans are really friendly to talk to considering none of us knew anything about each other other than that we were fans of the same band, but that speaks to how deeply music can connect people. Until next time!

Any song with Kyo doing mostly or all clean vocals “sounds like Gauze” to some people

Happy b-day Elazmus! ❤️

Individuals look Shogo : monyo Toramaru: Shiki

Very surprising ’cause I can’t imagine Mamo in any other project and they were for sure raking in cash lately. I thought their stuff was hit and miss, better in their aesthetic rather than their music. wouldn’t put it past them coming back one week after as a stunt

New Band テラトマ Teratoma Members: Voc. アクル Akru Gut. Kuma Ba. Sui Dr. Saku 1st Live on 18.12.2019 at HooK SENDAI https://twitter.com/TRTMofficial SPOT

Mamo is overparty

I give them 8 months

Some spare time to grow some nails to sell fans to, I guess?

I don't get this reading that the post was aggressive or even passive aggressive. He was happy to be there and wants to come back, and yeah if you look at the videos the crowd knew no lyrics at all so it's understandable that he'd hope the people listen to more of the stuff they do other than just The Final.

YO- They finally made CHAO IN SPACE like 20 years later. This warmed the cockles of my heart, enough to where I broke out my old SA2B save file I ripped from my GC memory card many years ago via Wii homebrew. This chao, "Anakin", could possibly be as old as some of the members/lurkers here (got the game in early '03.) I never had pets growing up, so this was the closest thing to them att. Spent many, many hours in the Chao Garden...

Finally found this gem on vinyl! Sounds great.

I'm bored so here have some new pictures I took a few weeks back

Here, your link is deaded...

Some stuff I got from Anime Weekend Atlanta, mostly. Seeing as I don't really have separate pics for everything, I'll just post my entire AWA merch haul with non-VK stuff blanked out. -Phantasmagoria and Rentrer en Soi/Phantasmagoria Cure Posters -X-Japan Pin -X-Japan Stickers -Gackt Necklace -Mana poster -Moi-meme-moitite clear file -Vidoll concert DVD -LARIENE - Doukeshi no Bukyoku single (CD and DVD) -Moi-meme Moitite sticker

wow this sucks shit

the current state of affairs in my life is unnatural. I feel as if i'm being railroaded into stress despite my strongest objections. Work is reaching all time high levels of stress and everyone can feel it, but no one knows to look to in order to get off this crazy ride. The keys are stuck in the ignition and we're going too fast to jump out or to even take a breather. I've reached that point where I've said "fuck it" 1000 times, then I said "fuck it" to "fuck it", and now I'm just laughing maniacally while pounding on the keyboard and hoping to create a Picasso. No one knows who is in charge or who is accountable anymore. If it were just one big project, then I could buckle down and get the work done. It's at least fourteen. Granted, some of them are smaller and not as important but everything is a priority at the eleventh hour. I can only ignore a project for so long before those requests become demands and I have to prioritize them over my well-being, because no one takes being demoted to second place very well. I'm dealing with a gigantic company merger while moving everything to the cloud. The future is so uncertain. My hair is turning grey and wiry at a record rate. I can't take the day off work - not even for a traffic ticket - without getting deluged in calls about what to do. And yet, I see my co-workers laughing, joking, and generally horsing around as if there isn't a mountain of work to get done and no time to do it. I look at the "to-do" column and I have ten tickets that just won't go away. I look at the "Done" column and there's 40 tickets. In the last three weeks. And I closed 1/3 of all of the tickets out of a group of 15 people. Doesn't take a math degree to realize those proportions are fucked up. People keep asking me to slow down, but how do you slow down any slower than this? I'm not pushing myself as much as I feel pushed. Like pushing a kid in the water and telling him to stop drowning, I'm not sure what to do next. The bosses play this little game where they say "if it's not important, don't do it" and then wait until the last minute to make a task important. That way, I have to get it done and I don't even have enough time to bitch about it. And then they say "oh this was an exception, it won't be like this next time!" Of course it won't, because it will be a slightly different circumstance and it's something ~we'V3 NeVeR EXPeRIeNC3D BeF0Re~ But don't push myself so hard you know. There will always be work to do. Let's only focus on the essentials. OH HEY ZEUS THAT THING I SAID WASN'T IMPORTANT BROKE AND NOW WE NEED YOU TO FIX IT BY YESTERDAY K THX LOVE N KISSES BYE OH HEY ZEUS WE KNOW YOU CALLED OUT OF THE OFFICE BUT I'MA NEED YOU TO COME IN REAL QUICK AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ISS- HEY THERE I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY BUT COULD YOU TAKE A LOOK AT-

My Japanese friend went to the show. He loves Dimlim and it was his first time seeing them. Here's his gushing: I feel like I don’t want to leave here. The show was just perfect. It was truly the best show I’ve ever seen. I was so drunk by the songs and his voice. I was like watching a movie. If there is only one concert I can take you. I would choose DIMLIM. What was surprising was that the vocal sho was singing toward his left not front, so I had to keep looking at his face of the left side. As I expected, I only saw three members and they perfectly played all songs using recorded sound. I wonder how they possibly could do that. Next email: ・Sho's shout was a laser beam ・There was a crazy guy in front of me. The guy kept shouting every time Sho shouted. It was so loud that the microphone caught his voice. ・The show started from "Rijin", my favorite song!!! ・I really liked the other song of Rijin, 肉腫と繁殖と不快感. I enjoyed the song so much at the live thanks to you. ・喜 was played early! Everyone was very excited to hear that. ・Sho had water very often. I guessed shouting hurts his throat very much. ・The guitarist had mustache. ・They didn't say thank you at last, which I thought it was kind of rude. ・When sho succeeded in singing the shouting part of Vanitas, everyone started to clap him a lot!! ・Oh, I saw music video of their new song. It's "What's up" ・I can't wait for their next show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked if I could share and commented on how in his pictures it didn't look like it was all girls in the crowd and there were foreigners. Of course you can share anything! I want to tell people who left bad reputation how perfect it was!!! Only three members made that concert using a computer. Yeah only that show. I thought probably there were more guys than girls, at least half. It seemed like that. And some foreigners. They showed us new music video called what’s up. It was surprising the song sounded pop that reminded me of ONE OK ROCK. Some might not like it, but I like they are trying to do something new!! By the way, the vocal looked very young without makeup. I sort of felt like looking at a show of university students. But the quality was professional.

OH MY GOD They wrote the band's name in Korean. I see who they want to target, I see.
