Made sure to search MH and I’m shocked that a VK forum hasn’t talked about one of Japan’s favourite personality codifiers: Blood Types. If you haven’t heard of blood type theory, you can quickly scan the Wiki or read an article but basically it’s the belief that one’s personality is partially influenced by the type of blood that runs in your veins. It’s like astrology in the sense that it’s a rough outline for what you’re like as a person (also it’s not scientifically proven). I’m a B-type! B+ to be precise. I found out in my senior year biology class when we took samples of our blood to find out our blood-types in order to learn more about them. I was the only B in the whole room Everyone else was either O or A. B-types are said to be creative, passionate, flexible and curious. Our downsides are that we’re said to be selfish, uncooperative and irresponsible. I think this sort of fits me? I can be quite passionate, expressive and strong-willed. I get called based all the time, hehe. Plus flexible, yes, I am definitely not the anal A-type at all. I’m so far from being a perfectionist, which is what A-types are mainly categorised as. The issue is that B-types are described as outgoing and I’m really shy around strangers and generally reserved with most people. Also, no one’s ever called me selfish or anything like that, my parents included (I’ve been criticised for other things). Especially irresponsible? People have looked up to me as a shining example of conscientiousness and studiousness… Anyway, there seems to be a decent amount of B-type guys in the VK scene, so if it means that I’ve got that same punky spirit in me then I’m happy to be a B-type! Some of my favourite B-type bandomen are Gokimi (Tokyo Heroes, Guru Guru Eigakan), Yoshiyuki Shimizu (Shinjuku Gewalt, Cosmo-Shiki), and Kenjirou Murai (Cali Gari). Final tidbit: did you know that your race impacts what kind of blood type you’re likely to have? Where I originate from (Central Asia), B-type is the majority blood type. For white people, there are many O-types. In Japan, A-type is the most common. What’s your blood type, MH peeps? If you know it, that is. You can also elaborate if you're + or -. Do you think it fits your personality? And which of your favourite bandomen do you have a blood type in common with?

I don't talk about it because enough Japanese people do irl and Japan doesn't usually factor in positives or negatives so it's like... only 4 personality types in the world for them I guess lmao. It wouldn't be such a big deal if some older Japanese (bosses, etc) didn't buy into it 100% like some of the crazy astrology girls in the West. Either way I'm O though most Japanese people think I'm A because I'm thorough at my job. Little do they know I'm a lazy ass at heart lol

This might seem strange but I probably walk for about 5 hours per day on average right now (no job) while listening to videos and music with my bluetooth wireless noise cancelling headphones. I'm trying to learn some songs so I can do vocal covers so I spend a lot of time listening to music to get a feel for how to sing the lyrics, because otherwise it takes me forever to learn them. I really don't like sitting because it makes me feel incredibly unproductive, unless I'm in class, at work or something, but even then I hate it and might fidget in my seat. I know that's pretty unusual though. I want to get into more physical activities such as weight lifting but I really need to find the motivation to do it. It's definitely worth it, and I commend anyone here who's able to find the inspiration to stick to arduous regimens like that, so hopefully I'll be able to get there myself.

It's amazing what quarantine boredom and 5 minutes in MS paint can do

I just have them underneath some flyers on my shelf, but I ordered a cheki case I hope to put my rare chekis in, that being said @monkeybanana4has the best method for storing them tbh

Some people describe me as weird but most people only see the shy side of me and think of me as a very average, reserved person. IDK, I always find that people who describe themselves as weird are some of the most absolute boring-ass normie mfers I've ever met ("OMG I ate this entire large pizza by myself, I'm like so weird!" Like no, eating food is not a personality trait. I dunno what to tell you but you're just fat, Becky) so I like to think of myself as a normal, not weird person lest I let someone down with my more demure traits. Throughout my life I've experienced being the well-behaved model student everyone respects, the outcast who got bullied a lot, and a non-existent entity so I'm not really sure if I'm 100% "unusual" or not. I've been a good normie, I've been bad weirdo, and I've been nothing. Maybe that's the unusual aspect of it

I'm O+, which I believe is the most common blood type worldwide. According to the wiki, this should be true of me: Best traits: Confident, self-determined, ambitious, strong-willed, intuitive, agreeable, competitive and athletic. Worst traits: Unpredictable, spiteful, self-centered, cold, aggressive, arrogant, envious and ruthless. Not sure about athletic or envious lol. Tbh, after reading all the traits for each personality type, I think I kind of match all of them to some degree. I don't rly believe that your blood type determines your personality but I guess it's a bit of fun.

Hopefully someone recorded that! IOLITE 1st album release live

I’m a B+ B-type people are super rare in my region so fingers crossed that nobody will be needing blood transfusions anytime soon. The takeaway: Let’s all donate blood if/while we can ♥️

By the title I’m not referring to storage methods but how you like to sort your collection if you do so. I love asking this question with CD collectors! Even though some don't actually have a particular order they use (as I've learned from asking). I’m wondering how MH peeps like to sort their CDs, specifically because of the different ways to order Japanese versus English CDs. For example, I normally sort my collection by artist name through the standard Alpha-numeric to Script system: Special characters -> Numbers -> Alphabet (A-Z)-> Hiragana (A-Wa) -> Katakana (A-Wa) -> Kanji (A-Wa). However, I like to “play” with my collection by sorting them in different orders. Here’s how I’ve arranged them before: By artist name, purely phonetically (Japanese mixed with English names, so, for example, 蜉蝣 is next to Kanye West) By album name, Alpha-numeric to Script By oldest to the newest album release date (purely by the date I see on the back of the CD) By newest obtained to the one I have had the longest (I used to order it like this until I learned how to read and look up Japanese) By artist genre, generic to specific (Like this: Electronic -> Electro -> Synthpop -> Piko-Piko) By album genre, same as above. "generic to specific" is just done arbitrarily by how popular I think a genre is when I'm already as specific as it gets By my personal favourite to least favourite How about the rest of you guys? Do any of you use a system I haven't tried yet, because I wouldn't mind trying a new order for my collection!

Well, I made the blood type topic so I might as well share my thoughts on its western counterpart, astrology! I'm a Virgo, which fits me pretty well. According to how some sites describe us, we are basically smart ass Virgins, which makes me feel a little called out. I am indeed a rational, analytical and shy person who plans things out and doesn't like caving into whims. This one site says that Virgos don't open up easily at first meeting and man, that is very true for me. It's a little spooky that Virgos are known for liking reading and that's one of my main lifelong hobbies. Though if I was another sign I guess I would be shocked at how my sign would've predicted my love for VK or Dance or something else. The only thing that is extremely out of place is that Virgos are known as perfectionists and trust me, I am probably the last person anyone would describe as a perfectionist. I never remember the things I read in the horoscope so I can't say if they've ever predicted my future or anything...

Some song wataru and enya collabed on prior to the revival, doubt it's an indication of what theyll sound like but probably a good idea of where wataru's clean vocals are at

I just had a camera stuck down my throat to see if I had any physical GI issues and now I'm high on anesthesia lmao

According to this tweet of kagami i doubt it... ;D I can't give a proper translation but here's what google translation says so... "The new songs on the album are really too strong. I'm a little scared"

You never know, perhaps this album is taking them into a new lounge jazz/bossa style.

I keep some of them in cheki holders, but I ended up buying protector sheets to store most of them in a binder. It look something similar to this picture (stolen right from pinterest):

I tend to put my CDs wherever it fits as long as all the CDs from a single artist/band is all together. I keep the Western and Japanese artists separated, though.

That's a long time to walk so do you have access to the countryside or do you tend to follow the same route everyday? Although I have access to miles of seaside walks and the countryside, I find myself picking a random street near where I live and following it until I get exhausted lately. I've discovered some interesting urban areas because of that even if it's just someone's nice garden (not in a creepy way lol)

Pre-order RED EDITION BLUE EDITION

Thanks to whichever mod/admin changed the title, I legitimately forgot that the English word "sort" existed and that "ordering your CDs" can mean something else whoopsie

Better be worth it.

I read the replies to the original post with interest. Since the coronavirus lockdown I have been searching for new bands and new music. xaa-xaa is a band that I was aware of via Dadaroma but never gave them a listen. So I watched the Horror vid and I thought it was hilarious! Maybe it’s not supposed to be funny but every time burlap head showed up they fell backwards to the floor! And when the fake blood splashed in Kazuki’s hair? Classic! Why was his mouth bloody though? An get props for grabbing a sharp weapon! You Tube’s algorithm then suggested this number I gave it a go since a band is best judged by its live performance. I have to say I’m impressed and when Kazuki hits the notes starting at 4:11 he nailed it! Digging the sequined jackets and the satin gloves! xaa-xaa totally stunting on you hoes! And just like that, xaa-xaa has a new fan!

I store them in a shelf and there isn’t really much of an order as to what band goes where, more like how can I fit them better. Releases within a band are arranged in chronological order though.

The only tea here is that yellow don't mellow

I finally got a job!

soon the reservation will be in cdjapan .. I am very attentive to this

I think that they re-recorded all those songs because even if they were released not that long ago the production quality is absolute trash, i like most of the songs but they sound so bad that i can't stand them for too much so i'm stoked for the re-recordings tbh!

I think you missed the most important part of the goods that are on sale......................... An ATM bag as one of the prizes for the badges👀 Btw the last like 10 minutes of the talk section was Kenjiro ROASTING Ao for his tweets. I love it. Shuuji joined at one point and told Ao that if he didn't explain he would destroy Ao's public image lmao At one point Shuuji was shifting about and the comments were like "Shuuji is your hernia ok" and everyone had to spend a minute explaining to him that he looked like he was in pain lmao So once again confirmed that Shuuji's the inspiration for the hernia bops Kenjiro then went on to say "Shuuji can do anything and people will fuss over him but on the other hand there's this guy (Ao) who no one ever bothers to worry about lmao"

brief updates while waiting for the talk section: cali gari's stream's setlist was the same as the 1st live they had after Shuuji 2 joined the commentary was ao, shuuji, and kenjiro. they spent about 4 songs trying to explain to shuuji the chat/commentary/live concept but uhhhh that didnt work so well. Except the last song was a new one about the drink sex on the beach (legit imagine shouting SEX SEX SEX ON THE BEACH that's it that's the song) last time there was issues with audio, this time with video where it looked like a 20 year old VHS tape. honestly, i would have thought it was on purpose if Ao hadn't apologize for it 20 times (It'll be fixed by tomorrow apparently). In Ao's words "this band is CURSED" FC only live has been decided the deadman/cali gari live will be streamed as well will edit in after the talk section later Edit 1: they're still in the talk section but vif already posted the news apparently 20th anniversary edition of Blue Film Nagoya, Osaka, Tokyo tour Edit 2: Blue Film -- everything will be rerecorded & sex on the beach will be put on it too. Kenjiro asked "will we put a condom in?" Ao asked "Do we need it?" and Kenjiro was like "I want it" and Ao's response was basically "got it" so I guess this time will also have a condom

They have changed the release date to 2020/09/09. The single is titled "夜葬曲".

I've slowly developed a kind of fatigue for this band, always churning out those new releases... and while their songs are always kinda cool it's just so overwhelming. Well, I guess I'm gonna check this one out too, lol.

I recall having a short discussion about blood types with my Kanji teacher once when I was studying abroad and I wrote down notes on how she described each blood type. A - intelligent B - かわっている (weird, not right in the head) AB - crazy, usually artists O - open and outgoing I know there's more to it but I thought these brief descriptions were interesting and funny. I'm B-type btw, not sure about + or - though, and I originate from Southeast Asia. I'm not sure how I feel about being called "かわっている" but I AM pretty awkward lol.

We really are similar, huh? Even down to having punky blood 😤✊

A pipe burst at the office And the goods, or rather CDs & DVDs, that were in stock were all destroyed "I'm trying to appear like it's ok but really everything's hopeless" Everything's hopeless could be about the goods or his mental state or both "It looks like I'm going to have to talk with the insurance agent, but even then not everything will be returned, we can't remake these things, and I'm overflowing with millions of memories of making these things and honestly this has killed me. I've got 0 HP from my tragic children being wiped out. Thanks for everything. Ah, also, today's the last day for the 7/7 live, so if you're free tonight please watch it. Please have a nice Saturday."

I ain't saying anything... but pictures don't lie.

yeah i dont blame people for going ahead and selling their tickets if there's going to be a stream tbh yes he is the youngest but either 1) is an idiot 2) lives is in his own world in his head 3) is bad at expressing what he means or a bit of all three, who knows. Ao had to explain reaaaaaaaally slowly but in the end it was "shuuji, just dont worry about it" lmao yeah sorry i meant to edit that in in my second edit apparently shuuji and kenjiro had no idea it was a cover lol It was apparently popular years ago at clubs?? but i didnt catch what it's a cover of but........I have definitely found it now:
