When people say that they need rational and empirical evidence that God exists, I just imagine one of two scenarios happening: #1. The world's top scientists publishing a study called "Proof of God" with said evidence. or #2. God appearing in a humanoid form and showing the world that he has control over everything by performing various miracles. In both cases, this would completely miss the point of "believing" in God. I guarantee that most of us would see all of that proof and "empirical evidence", and the world would not change a bit. We'd see it and say "oh, that's cool.", then go back to treating each other like shit.

kein - 朦朧の実 😍 Thank you again, @ghost!

There's one guy making these top PV videos on youtube on a monthly basis and when you get through one of them you'll think "I never heard of any of these fucking bands" and they sometimes actually look like they got money behind them as well. fantastic resource to see what's going on the scene as long as you know what you're getting into. of course most of the bands sound "generic" because the amount of bands is absurdly high and that's how this music always sounds like anyway with slight variations.

Fair point about the guy spamming and just trying to get free stuff, it isn't hard to put a bit of money aside for buying music so yeah that is a bit shitty and yep, you're not under any obligation to share stuff you have paid good money for if you do not wish to. But yeah, the point regardless is still fact, that it DOES cost more to get Japanese stuff from overseas, and the point I was making that for the same price you can get a lot more bang for the buck so the fact the CDs are overpriced in the first place (yes I know they're all generally 20 somethings trying to make a living and its helping keep them "in the scene" etc.... so no need to go there) is just difficult to justify, £20 for a full length album, £10/15 for a two/three song single or £30/40 for a live DVD..... c'mon..... As I said, for bands I do really love I will still support them and buy the stuff, but I just personally find it hard to justify when you can get way more for the same prices not from Japan. haha. + Just on an ending note, you have a crappy attitude in general (at least the way you portray yourself through this forum), so you may need to look at keeping that in check. Just saying. lol.

It’s 2020 and people still arguing over buying a CD?!? We have iTunes and we have streaming services these days. Even the most indie western band would have their songs upped. What’s that? Your obscure Japanese bands are not? Well, blame them for being elitist in turn for irrelevancy. Ironic. Like honestly, support when/if you can. It is not mandatory. Especially if your faves are attached to label. Unless self produced, those munnies would mostly ended up to the labels and producers bank accounts. However, it will ensure your band to not be dropped for having low sales. But if you wanna support your bandomen and ensure that they would afford their next bowl of Yarou Ramen, or their Gucci/Chrome Hearts earrings, then you better be buying official bands merchs and/or attending their shows if/when they make stops to your area or nearby. much like drag queens, those bookings fee is how these bandomen paying their bills..., and some gari gari kun for that matter.

Gin (former drummer of ECRIN) created his solo project, his name is 「イ ル カ が 唄 う 、 午前 2 時」 it is unknown who will be the support members ... but apparently it will only be an instrumental project. The project was announced on December 24, 2019: 🥰🥰🥰

I GOT HYPED BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE'D BE GETTING SAKI Now im gonna cry

I recently saw an interview with the Gazette and they said they had never been roadies for other bands.

The new single is on spotify: I fuckin love this band. There's something about downy's music that's almost always initially difficult to wrap my ears around...but then when it finally clicks, I just end up loving it. Took about one or two listens for that to happen with this song. The remix is pretty dope too. Sad that Yutaka passed away, but I'm curious how an album without him is gonna sound like. I'm somehwat familiar with SUNNOVA...He's a hip hop producer with an experimental edge iirc, so this should be interesting! edit: i'm not a huge fan of the of drum kit they've been using since the 6th album (i preferred the drums from 5th)...they sound a bit muffled to me, but this is honestly a VERY minor grievance. I LOVE the way Robin's vocals are mixed here tho. Not as dry as on 6th, but not as heavily effected as on 5th.

I damn near did a backflip after seeing this news! It feels like ages since I've been so excited for a new album!!! And it comes out a day before my birthday too.

Yep it's out now on Spotify, Ototoy, Itunes amazon etc.

or he could be a half! but yassss, this looks HOT from what i can understand, yes, and there will be new songs. the drummer personally wishes to write songs that are slower, grotesque, and vomit-inducing but i'm guessing he's not one of the main writers. their final tour will be at shinjuku blaze on 11/22 and there might be some more announcements later. he also mentions that the new bassist has some nice guns.

Buck-Tick new album will be released at 2020 summer, details TBA. Imai described it as "a clean break with the image and sound that the band has accustomed fans to until now", the keywords of this new style of music will be "minimalism and electronic"

DEXCORE first full album (title not yet finalized) will be released at 2020

@LGOS. new single "Sticking of love" will be released at 2018/08/25. TrackList: 01. 隠恋慕 02. 盲目は窒息

The Benjamin has announced a slew of new releases coming up throughout the year! new single "望遠鏡 / ボブカット" (1200 yen) will be released at their webshop and live events in July. their LIVE DVD "AFTER [ B ] HAPPINESS-スズランが咲いた日に-" (5800 yen) will be released in October, also live & webshop limited.

keep it

basically this

Oops haha, forgot to write lol In the weekend I usually eat more fresh stuff! My favourite weekend food, fresh sliced mango and chicken drumsticks with a nice salad and creme fraiche/yoghurt dip with mango chutney and curry flavour I also love gratin with potato strips, mozzarella, herbs, garlic etc haha Find some fun recipes or make up your own using stuff you love ❤️❤️❤️

them not being in drag really highlights how mediocre this sample is

Hiro was on twitter mentioning lives he'd been a part in the last few days, but I really don't know if he was talking about session bands or orcalade It's really strange for a band to go into this absolute silence while the members are all around still tweeting, with the band on their profile and whatnot In any case, glad for clearveil boys, would hope the vocalist fella I forgot the name would comeback aswell

Aya seems to be from Missalina Rei: 彩 (Aya) - Bass (1998 - 2000.11.17), Vocals (1997) → Missalina Rei → ZERO → CANDY CRUNCH SPEAKER → Re-fire, Loz'a≠Veria [support] → Marilyn☆DustSchool → Deflina Ma'riage → 199X → 民安★ROCK

狂鬼(Kyouki) has participated in a cover together with 幡野友暉(Hatano Yuki).

It's just soooo bad, I just can't. All this pompousness that they project, oh my god. I get it that they stay true to the concept, but I can't just imagine their average 14 old fan who would buy into this. Thanks for the effort

I hope this is an appropriate reaction to how I feel about all of this.

self-awareness..........

A little late to this (I'm busy, sue me) but Kizu fucking surprised me with this one. Is the singing style that mimicks Daisuke (Kagerou) w/ a splash of Hizumi (D'espairsRay) intentional or am I missing something here? Shit was cool, not to mention the odd lyrics haha.

B'LAIVE change to BLAIVE New Look 2020 Voc Jekyll Gut 可憐 Karen Bass wayu Dr 愁 しゅう Shuu

My sentimentts exactly. Just to add more fuel to the dissapointment rail, yes, it is experimental but the songs don't achieve anything, making them forgettable. Album title on point, at least. Now, I'm gonna listen CHEDOARA to rid off the bad taste.

pv seems to be from SHELLMY (シェルミィ 😂 seemed to be a limited joke project, band has disbanded

It just clicked with me while listening to the full release all the song titles are names of flowers lol I wonder if theres some meaning to it in the lyrics 🤔

According to his social media the bassist is into kickboxing so he must be fit lol

Support your friendly neighborhood VK database and give our interview with NETH PRIERE CAIN a read/like: Help us trick VK bands into thinking we’re legit 🙏 💕

every time I see "piracy = bhad" manifestos in VK community I'm retraumatized by flashbacks of that one :·ﾟ✧*⁂☙𝓡𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓻～𝓮𝓷～𝓢𝓸𝓲❧⁂☆*:·ﾟ✧ stan going on a utube report spree to punish the world for his band never making it into major oricon rankings before a good decade later Satsuki's personality of a human colostomy bag would come to light and good sisT would ditch VK for whatever been trending around, shitting on her diehard Italian admirer by proxy.

I'm looking forward to the announcement of your complete album and its release date ... I will definitely buy this CD in physical version

and they have it from janne da arc 😉. all Those songs this band creates sounds almost the same as janne da arc and acid black cherry. Please check it out if you like this band.

Even if you have money it's hard to justify buying stuff all the time if you live overseas as 1, prices for this stuff is proper high for what it actually is.... 2, postage costs and 3, FUCKING CUSTOMS CHARGES 4, remember we don't all live in Japan so this stuff isn't so easily accessible to all of us. So with all that added together, sometimes buying a single CD will cost like 40/50 quid. I personally do try to get hard-copies for the bands I really like but have cut back a lot on "let's get this to check it out" or "I liked the one song off the single so will buy the whole CD and hope it's actually good." buys as it's all just getting too much money wise. I can afford to, but am just unable to justify it tbh. Especially when I can buy other music I like and get like 6/7 albums or more for the price of like two from VK bands, those two CD's could also be singles that equal 20/30mins of stuff, so why would I pay that when I can get a handful of full length albums for the same price? Just sayin.... haha.

Got the first tickets for my upcoming Japan trip 🙏🙏

It would be awesome if they released a song called "Jiluka"

they will hold their 1st anniversary oneman live "極東ロマンス 1st Anniversary Live" at 2020/04/11 at Takadanobaba CLUB PHASE

I don't know, I think there's still a crazy high amount of bands forming constantly. At least I've always felt it kinda overwhelming, lol. I mean if you check the first few pages of the News subforum there are like a dozen newly formed bands within the past 3-4 months.

release date has been finalized as 1/29; it will be 3300 yen and will be limited to 333 copies (the fuck???) [tracklist] 1.「Introduction」 2. Black lily 3. Silene 4. Marigold 5. Tuberose 6. Anemone DVD： 1. Silene(LIVE MV) also does starwave not know how to compile all the songs for a full album sample anymore? i'm already sick of these individual sample vids, it looks so retarded anyway i'm loving this, and i live for anemone ♥♥♥

I don't care about the visuals in VK: I say this is an unpopular opinion because I've been told countless times that it's impossible not to care about the visuals and anyone that says that is lying and on and on. But I don't and I never have. I have some kind of sick attraction to the music itself, but I don't give a flying fuck about the band's appearance and would prefer they didn't look so ridiculous if I had a choice, just so it'd be less embarrassing to point them out to people.
