  1. Going to miss this incredible community and hub for all things J-rock. Hoping the VK scene won't fragment into obscurity after this site is gone... 😧

  2. Another year, another kickass Angelo album.

  3. Loving the ability to watch high quality heidi. live streams during all this nonsense. Hope it continues!

      Nice! She's cute too. Bonus.

  5. These new DEATHGAZE covers are amazing.

      They couldn't have picked a better selection of songs too!

  6. Can't believe I've been avoiding Kuroyume for 15 years. Fans: What's their best stuff?

      The consensus is that anything between 1992-1994 is top tier.

      1995-1996 is similarly good but more of an acquired taste (I like these albums very much tho).

      The rest is kind of a mixed bag.

      Thanks folks! My friend just lent me the 1994-1998 BEST OR WORST album and I've been enjoying it as a launch point for the rest of their stuff.

      Can't say I've listened to them much but I like this song because Dir's Cage is just a copy of it

       

  7. Extremely ready for the 12012 revival. They redeemed themselves in the end, it'll be amazing to see what they're capable of now.

  8. $87.00 CAD for 1 ¥3000 CD after shipping. I am so done with Canada and our crap dollar/shipping rates FML

  9. gulu gulu - One of a few new bands where I'm actually EXCITED to hear each new song. New mini does not disappoint!

  10. Finally realizing that I really like Angelo; can't believe it's taken me 13 years.

  11. Jusshoku Teiri is really growing on me.

    1. Ada Suilen

      Ada Suilen

      I really liked it, especially for the more melodious tracks, Ryutaro gives the maximum in those!

    2. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      Totally! What're your favorite tracks? I like C.C.C., Endroll and Amonojaku!

    3. Ada Suilen

      Ada Suilen

      Amanojaku and Endroll above the others, but even Light.Gentle.Soul and C.C.C were top!

  12. XERO is the worst song on ULTIMA.

    1. patientZERO

      patientZERO

      I would argue that there are far worse ... EUREKA is pretty damn bland.

    2. sixblacknine

      sixblacknine

      I hate ALLERGIE, just that one song, then the rest is good lol 

    3. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      Interesting! ALLERGIE seems to be pretty popular.

      I would agree with you patientZERO, EUREKA ain't great.

      XERO's not that bad anymore, after a few listens I've changed my mind lol.

  13. After a first listen, Juushoku Teiri is equal parts mediocrity, nostalgia and hidden gem all at the same time.

  14. Finally deleting my Facebook after using it for 13 years. Can't believe I willingly gave so much information to a private corporation for almost half my life.

      @Tokage Unfortunately, you're 100% right. If a Smart TV needs to listen for your command, it's listening all the time. Same thing applies to Big Brother Alexas/Homes. No thanks. Sadly, I can't break from my phone just yet 😧

      @tetsu_sama69 I know, right? We got on fine without this shit 10 years ago. I would argue that it's actually made the last decade more worse than better. Gonna miss the family communication, but what can ya do

      @nomemorial I was literally 'endless scrolling' as I was trying to delete it. It's crazy how addictive it is and the developers of the platform know it; it was created with that in mind. I'm going to miss following my bands too, ugh

      I do offer my phone number to family so they can keep up with me and I have a hard time making or re-connecting friendships because I don't use facebook or it's messenger app. I've straight up been on facebook posting my "i'm not dead" post and people are like wow we haven't talked in ages and the moment i offer my phone number to text me or them it's like I'm some kind weirdo. It's strange to me because the messenger app just acts like a text and uses your phone number. I think it's just made people feel weird to socialize without it and I don't undestand why.

  15. Where did KEEL go? 😥

      With Ryo and aie's multiple bands and deadman return this year I get it... But I really hope they get revived at some point! They're way too damn good to go to waste 😧

    3. Jigsaw9

      Jigsaw9

      They've always managed to reappear time and time again, so let's hope that continues. :) Maybe next year when deadman isn't a factor anymore (tho tbh I'd rather take deadman staying for the long run, but what can ya do).

    4. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      I'm torn—I love deadman to bits but if KEEL disbanded today I might feel even worse. I'm not gonna lie though, if deadman being back for another 2-3 years meant KEEL being on hiatus, I'd totally take it XD

  16. Enigma > MISC.

    1. Jigsaw9

      Jigsaw9

      This was my first time listening to a full release by The THIRTEEN, but I definitely share the opinion! (although it was too long and repetitive after a while, but at least not overly annoying, lol)

    2. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      You know, it's interesting: The THIRTEEN started out miserably, and DIMLIM started out strong—and now the roles seem to be reversing haha. The THIRTEEN's still no Sadie (I was a big fan) imho, but this release isn't half bad.

    3. Jigsaw9

      Jigsaw9

      Yeah, now that you say it... :D 

  17. Angelo is really killing it on their latest album. Also, LEDA :DDD

  18. Call me a n00b all you want, but when someone talks about 'mixing' making or breaking an album I am borderline retarded. I like what I like mmkay.

      Maybe I don't have the ear for it, but I've never picked up on the mixing process. Like when a band releases a remastered album, I don't usually notice the differences. Like what you're saying @nomemorial I'd probably need to pay close attention to a song/album/artist I really know and love and contrast that with the new/old versions to really grasp the changes.

      I guess I kind of get what you mean @Peace Heavy mk II regarding the Starwave stuff - Like kind of 'vacuumy'/'underwatery' right?

    3. Peace Heavy mk II

      Peace Heavy mk II

      @zombieparadiseexactly! And everything is the same level of loudness so there’s no depth to it. Or if the drumming sounds like banging on tin cans, as another example 

    4. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      @Peace Heavy mk II Ah - I think I'm getting it now. SUICIDE ALI comes to mind as a specific example.

  19. Hm, don't actually hate this new DEZERT album.

  20. Back to work and feeling that post-Japan depression 😧 Y'all know what I mean.

    1. Komorebi

      Komorebi

      Yup, coping with it right now.

  21. Leaving to good ol' nippon tomorrow. Aw yeah!

    1. The Reverend

      Sweet! Going to any shows?

      Yeah man! Dir en grey x 4, Onmyouza, heidi. x 2, and lynch. on Halloween : )

  22. every time DIV's VANISH comes on, I can't help but me moved. Chisa's got such an atmospheric voice, it's incredible.

      Couldn't agree more on that~

      Chisa's voice is amazing, and I love it. The feeling and range he has is something I find quite admirable about his vocals.

    4. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      Definitely. It's a breath of fresh air.

  23. Pretty disappointed by the new RAZOR album. No real bangers bleh.

  24. Is there a good site to order Japanese tickets from overseas? Booking a trip in November.
