That would be my friend and pretty much all the bangya who used to go to Dimlim. lmfao
 
This is old drama and I'm way over this band so idc anymore. Here's your tea.
 
My friend tweeted about how awful Dimlim was after their live at Aoyama Rizm last November, saying how it's time for Dimlim to be taken out back.
She wrote the tweet in English and, despite Retsu being utterly terrible at English, he understood that her comment was critical and he blocked her. 
This also happened to a few people I know who don't like Dimlim, which proves that Retsu ego searches "Dimlim" on Twitter and blocks anyone that writes anything critical about the band like the edgelord that he is. 
Surprisingly he never blocked me (probably because I'm not very active on SNS), but he blocked everyone I know who used to go to Dimlim even though they supported the band for years and didn't do anything to wrong him.
 
Retsu's always been a douche but this was the nail in the coffin for me and the few bangya that gave 3-man Dimlim a try.

Pretty sure those were leftover copies they never sold at buppan. For the longest time they had like 10 copies of various and 2-3 copies of The Silent Song collecting dust because all their fans already bought copies and they very rarely got new people going.
I can say with confidence that they're not going to rerelease Various. They removed it from their discography because they want to erase their past. It's not like they even play those songs anymore. Last time they played anything pre-Chedoara was June 2019 where they played Innocent Passion, and the last time they played anything from Various was at their twoman with Deviloof in April 2019 where they played Joudo no Hana. Even at that point they mostly only played songs from Chedoara. 
 
You're still pretty new to this site and I erased a lot of my old posts so you probably don't know but I used to go to most of Dimlim's lives in 2018 and 2019 and share a lot of info here  since the band sucks at using social media.
(I don't follow them anymore so don't ask me what they're up to now. )

Please stop saying stuff like this like you have any idea what you are talking about. You assume so much and you are always, and I do mean always, wrong. 
 
If you want Various, find it on second hand sites.

Man say what you will I'm fucking shocked that out of all the bands weve lost in the past year it's insane this is a band that is gonna "survive" going into 2021 lol

I just came here to say: come on dimlim get a fucking bassist for christ's sake

It freaks me out how much someone is so obsessive over defending a band that is basically already dead. I've given up basically as they clearly aren't taking notice of what anyone is actually saying and is turning every negative point into some convoluted sign that the band is still doing great and everything is perfect. It's legit pretty creepy.
 
+ I have an inkling that this member is someone who has posted in this forum using a different username and come under fire from other members several times in other threads for the same kind of thing. haha. + + That member was also obsessed with Retsu/DIMLIM so it's hardly far out that this is the same person. lol.

dimlim is a great example of biting the hand that feeds you

rijin has 300 k and vanitas stands at 650k (provided they didn't buy any), nothing about their MISC phase indicates growth

I appreciate your consistent clowning here tho

I don't know about the entire album, but I'm pretty sure What's Up was written about my friend. Her critical tweets really seemed to have struck Retsu's nerves considering he cried about it on instagram stories after blocking her, saying that the band doesn't want to listen to anyone's opinions and that he was going to quit social media (which clearly didn't happen, unfortunately)

Of course, but that doesnt mean Retsu doesnt have a say in what the song is about and I'd say that was definitely the case because the lyrics are quite different than what Sho usually writes.
At this point Retsu is driving the car and Sho and Hiroshi are in the back seat. Sho doesn't even know when the band has a live. His band mates call him up the day before to remind him. Do you really think he's the one calling the shots lol

That's just not a good look though.  Almost their entire fanbase before MISC was made up of vk fans and metal fans, so for them to purposefully shut them out isn't really a good move imo.  No one said they had to keep being visual kei, and if they just stopped dressing up and dropped the album I don't think anyone would have had a big problem.  But Retsu renouncing vk and blocking old fans and the entire lyrical concept of MISC seeming like a jab at people who didn't like their stylistic change - well that's a good way to get people to stop caring about your band.  Not to mention that the actual releasing of MISC was handled very badly with it being delayed several times, having confusing info on whether it was going to be digital only or physical, nearly no previews, and then Retsu with his "essence" and anti piracy antics at that time...  I think they effectively managed to push away a good proportion of their old fanbase with all that.
 
They might be getting some positive attention outside of Japan, and they seem to have prioritized that over Japanese fans anyway considering their international bookings and Retsu doing that one interview video in English lol, but COVID put a stop to those shows so what are they doing for their new fans now?  They released Kidoairaku on streaming services which is nice and all, but even their plans for an international merch store haven't quite worked out.  I get that this year has been really tough but I just question where they're going to get the money to keep going with this band.  They seem really inactive at the moment and that's usually not a good sign - even in these times.
 

As someone who went to all four lives they did after Ryuya and Taishi left, horrendous.
They also got soooo boring. Retsu plays guitar while facing the wall like a fucking jackass, Hiroshi just does his thing in the back (except in September and October when they put his drumset in kamite/stage left), and Sho just stands in one spot and sings. 
All four times the audience didn't know if we should head bang or just stand and listen, so each live everyone moved less and less until the December oneman where no one did anything except the dousurundai?! 👎 thumbs down furi in ambitious and jump during the chorus of vanitas.
After 8 years of going to hundreds of lives in Japan, those 4 concerts were all in my top 10 worst lives I've ever been to.
 
That was a session. He still does session sometimes, as well as support for Verxina, but I don't think he wants to be in a band full time anymore.
A friend of mine who's been a fan of him for years says he does, indeed, have health issues, but I do agree that he left mostly because of Retsu.
I actually heard Taishi, Ryuya, and Retsu fighting before their set in July (the door to the backstage area connects to the bar area of the venue), and lo and behold a few days later Ryuya and Taishi's departure announcement came. 

That would be my friend and pretty much all the bangya who used to go to Dimlim. lmfao

they have one mathrock stan (that's you.) their other 9 former stans are in this thread. all other fans were blocked by retsu on twitter. if you do the math you'll see the 90:10 ratio I'm talking about!!

Jeeez, why are you so intent on defending DIMLIM so hard? XD As I said I used to (and still do) love all their stuff before MISC, but if people are even questioning if the band is dead and are completely losing interest in the band something is clearly wrong with what they're doing, or not doing..... haha.
 
+ Is kind of ironic that Issei was kicked from DIMLIM for what seemed to be similar reasons to behaviour Retsu has been showing. Wanting total control and being melodramatic blocking anyone who says anything negative about DIMLIM online and all that. That's pathetic.

THE GALLO's 東京破廉恥劇場 ヱデン (Tokyo harenchi gekijou Eden) has a stylistic bleep in it, though the preview on Youtube cuts out right before it
 
As for the poll I voted Mazohyst of Decadence but I also like the merry go round song.

Nazare was all we had of this style since retsu ruined dimlim

I know for GOATBED I was told I'd have to fill in my name/address/phone number when I got there...but then wasn't asked to lol
The government is pushing for that sort of thing but idk I didn't read the details of what cali/deadman are doing since I wasn't going anyway lol
 
I dont mean extra sections to get everyone in, just a chance to get *more* people in, while it still being a lottery. Two lives on the same day would be able to get double the amount in (50% rather than 25%) and the ticket price wouldnt necessarily have to go up that much. 
If it were me, I'd rather it be a 50% chance than a 25% and I think a lot of people would rather have that higher chance of winning the lottery even if it means the live might be a bit shorter. Plus, even if the ticket price didn't change, there are people who will opt not to go because of COVID-19 or it's simply a day that doesn't work for them, etc. so I think it'd be higher than 50% chance to get in, really...
**GOATBED's live with 2 sections in Nagoya and Osaka were both weekdays I'm not sure it matters that much given that 1) many people are furloughed rn and have free time and 2) plenty of people (me included) don't work the monday~friday but have random days off
 
Lol I like to say I wouldn't pay 20,000+ for a live but at the same time but at the same time i've easily spent more than that many times just traveling to go see a band so ehhhhhhh idk
