Well, it is what the title says. コロナウイルス is forcing people to stay home in Japan and the japs have a nice philosophy of spreading hope in times of despair, so they went there and performed anyway and are being nice and posting the gigs that got cancelled online for all to see, including us, poor gaijin. No live audience, no staff, etc. These are the ones I've seen so far: Let's make this collaborative so do share other links here if you know of any. I'll keep updating this list. Previously unreleased lives uploaded for viewing due to the Corona situation are also to be freely shared in this thread - MH Staff And bear in mind most of these gigs will be available for a limited time only, so hurry up and watch or download the ones you're interested in watching ASAP.

ザアザア (Xaa-Xaa) new single "ホラー (Horror)" will be released at 2020/4/22. (2 Type) Type A will be CD (2 tracks)+DVD ("ホラー (Horror)" MV) and Type B will be CD (3 tracks) only. [track list] 1. ホラー (Horror) 2. トラウマ (Trauma) 3. サイコパーティー (Psycho Party)

I am no longer a teenager. Here's hoping this next year of my life is better than the last!

有村竜太朗 (Arimura Ryutaro) (Plastic Tree) new Blu-Ray "ACOUSTIC LIVE「Op.＋」AT Christ Shinagawa Church" will be released at 2020/06/17

I'm.....just going to say that this: easily was their peaking parabole on the way down and if they disbanded back than no one ever would have missed 400 new variations of MIRRORS does anyone even remember what tiamat sounds like...

Let's is a maniac. Just look at this video. Hiroshi is taking the piss, he can barely take the questions seriously himself (see 55 secs, just after they cut off a child's scream lol) . This video series was without a doubt Let's's idea. Hiroshi was asked why they chose Shibuya Womb as a venue and Hiroshi literally said because it was the only venue that wasn't fully booked LMAO (also they wanted a venue with a screen). He was also asked why there was a 3 month gap between the release of MISC and their first gig and his answer was because all venues were booked... I can't. 1:54 - What the fuck? I can't tell if this is supposed to be funny or what. Who's filming this and why are they having a stroke? This band's tone is so skewed between their essence and suits and wanting to get away from the corruption of visual kei and these shitty, amateur attempts at marketing. 1:54 - 2mins "why do you think 'What's Up?' was the hardest song to record?" "Ride cymbal is xxxxxx CHIN CHIN" WHAT Last question "what does love mean to you?" "the putty in-between... " He doesn't believe a word of what he's saying, let's be honest. Get Retsu away from these men before they're humiliated even further.

Release event at Ikebukuro Chop was canceled due to COVID-19. IOLITE said "fuck the virus" and decided to perform, record it, and upload it to youtube!!

got the dvd in yesterday, watching it right now, it’s great to relive this day. i never figured out what “fto” is supposed to stand for, to this day.

The perception of the new album was definitely hurt by hearing Kidoairaku, it might've been more palatable were there nothing inbetween Rijin and MISC., well, now I'm here solely for Sho's Q&A, then they might as well call it quits. Even tho the new album is quite enjoyable, Sho's and Hiroshi's talents are being wasted here. Also, a couple months ago I was told off for shitting on Retsu for slowly leading the band to shit (commercially) and look where we are...

It's so sad but Dimlim is dying Honestly I think Ryuya left the band bc he had no patience for Lestu crazy ass ideas Even when I like MISC. (3/5 for me, not horrible, but not wonderful, epecially for some song that man they're forgetable) Rijin and KIDOAIRAKU was the direction, maybe with a touch of Out of the darkness and What's Up? and boom great fucking band, I don't give a shit about the visuals at this point. But NOOO Letsu doesn't want a bassit and prefer to do random world venues, weird ass interviews and do public his ego and middle age crisis, even when he is at his 20

SKY-HI did one today as well, but I missed it. He said there's not going to be an archive but he'll do a vlog with digest footage later. There are some clips fans posted under the hashtag "SKYHI生配信".

Add downy to the list. Looks like they're planning a broadcast in place of the live as well.

I'm not sure this was due to coronavirus, but Kansen2 uploaded this live few days ago. Here: Edit: I've just confirmed this live was streamed because of coronavirus

HIZAKI Grace Project?? ?? With Juka? Or Hikaru? Or KAYA???

THURSDAY'S YOUTH just did one today, and apparently the archive of it will be available for a week. https://www.mahocast.com/thursdaysyouth/music/1699 ^It was a special one-man featuring the singer from asobius and some other people on backing vocals. The performance starts around 12:00.

You guys must be wondering "why not answer these in japanese and translate it?" but this is a naive question. You are assuming they have a TEAM behind all this shit when in fact the probability of being only Retsu with google translate as his weapon is really high. Although CHEDOARA Dimlim died for this now I see it was only a matter of time. This will only be worth it if Sho also makes one of these vids and cause even more damage to my already destroyed sides

Everything about this is just bad. Shoutout to Issei who also without a doubt has no assets but is nonetheless able to run a professional or at least an aesthetic looking band that even at their worst are not like this disaster. The background music is Lets 100% and it's so fucking bad, like the editing and the questions and answers and everything else. It's like the album: ugly and badly produced with some good ideas hidden in there under all that dross that has been mangled and warped by Let's shitty auteur touch.

I think the eye issue might come from having to wear those contacts all the time. Sometimes they don't clean their fingers or maybe some hair crap/sweat gets into their eyes while performing or maybe they like to play 3 stooges with each other?

They translate the answers but not the questions...

They are making the M10M album Mana has been promising us for a decade.

ASEUL dropped a new album today titled "Slow Dance". The album is a bit hit and miss and I think she's still refining and perfecting her songwriting, but there are some really good tracks on here. She's really nailed that 80's pop / shoegaze-y / bedroom pop sound and I think she's one of the more unique artists in the k-indie scene right now.

lynch. will live and die by the mantra "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Tada~ I hope they're in the correct order lol

thank you xaaxaa

they came to slay

oh my. The last single was awesome though I'm looking forward to this

So since today's show got cancelled, they posted various clips on Twitter in the order they would've performed them at the show. Sooo thoughtful of them, I'm amazed Will upload the snippets to YouTube later. Most of them come from LIQUEFACIO btw.

I love the title track 私塗レ , it is great especially with 参輝 composed and wrote the lyrics , and the re-record version of 凩 is also good , more of the Japanese styled orchestra than the original. I am not sure about 蛇婬 , this song is just weird with the jazzy (?) twist ...

Wearing too much make up? Or too often changing eye contacts? I'm just spitballing here

Is Biden not kowai kawaii enough for you???

watch it while it lasts

New look:

- Lola Marsh - Someday Tomorrow Maybe - Danyèl Waro - Tinn Tout - Isnel - UNiVERS - HOLLOWGRAM - Pale Blue Dot - Nightwish - DEDACES - LIVE IN BEUNOS AIRES 【Blu-Ray】

I PLAY THE GITRRR

MY NAME IS LETS

it is very difficult to talk like a 16 year old who just read dostoevsky for the first time in a second language so good for you, but still not gonna buy eau de retsu

Boris - Feedbacker (tour edition) Gotta be one of my favorite variants for a record.

Love it!

hope jesus heard his prayers asking to get his voice back

The day after I posted the for the first time since my regular hiatus, I GOT FUCKING FIRED the next day. HR suspended me for a month, then last week I had to sign my termination papers. Someone apparently said I orchestrated smoke breaks with people to go get high(I don't even smoke weed) and they didn't even drug test me. Luckily I found 2 job offers yesterday thanks to my 10 years of working Business Management and everyone hates that bitch that got me fired.

This comment still stands Mind you, I like macaroni, but SHEESH!!!! This one is fresh off the lynch. assembly line...

this band has somehow managed to have a nearly 20 year career despite having only 4 songs. truly the vk counterparts to ac/dc

Thinking about this thread again because I tried to find 蟻‘s (Ari) singles on Cdjapan and it returned only Ariana Grande in my search, confirming that she really is the one responsible for vkei being unpopular
