NekoMAMA reacted to emmny in Akinori returns to lynch.
i saw the messe promo video before reading this thread and when the fifth member came i was literally GAGGED so it was nice to come on here and read it was akinori
honestly...reo and hazuki are geniuses in how they handled the whole drama in the PR sense. they collaborated with incredibly high profile guests and that in turn brought their profile up as well, and they milked the ordeal for all that it was worth with the dramatic foreshadowing, intense apologies and just how open they made the situation. instead of shying away from it they really gave their fellow nihonjins a nice lil redemption tale and a lot of material (cue that insta video) to go with the spectacle. i think this is a japan/east asia specific thing but like, lynch rlly did go the extra mile

NekoMAMA reacted to Takadanobabaalien in 黒百合と影 (kuroyuritokage) will disband
Yeah, I think Mei can do better without K and Kuro. Although I like Kuro's songwriting so I hope he don't retire, I just don't need to see him with Mei tbh.

Just release something before you disband please.
although I guess they would've announced that now as well if that would happen. Oh well, good thing is I own every release by them lmao. No need to spend anymore money

NekoMAMA reacted to cvltic in Visual Gay ( Gay stuff in visual kei)
1) tvtropes is not a source, just a bunch of poorly informed meme-y opinions
2) "The reason I posted this was cause this was before fanservice became a cool thing to do and all. Back when fangirls didn’t actually like it." <- what evidence/train of thought is this based on
3) "They mentioned also how it was in a lot of cartoons or whatever. They were talking about one of those TeenTop guys when they mentioned mannerisms, and this reminded me of that." who is they?!
4) what the fuck

I guess it's nice to see who you're talking to on the forum, so here's a snapshot of me and one of those self-portraits I do from time to time.

NekoMAMA reacted to WhirlingBlack in Do Japanese men dislike visual kei?
I think that this situation sort of showcases the discrepancy between the western and Japanese fandom, in some ways. We in the west have sort of built up our own subculture surrounding VK that isn't the same as it is in Japan. In Japan, attending VK lives can have connotations that a lot of guys would want to avoid, the informal rules surrounding the lives can also make the shows less enjoyable to men too, as in the whole staying put in your spot, allowing time and space for the girls to fix their hair between each headbang and stuff like that. The western VK fandom treats it more like any other alternative subculture whereas I feel like in Japan it has unhealthy connections with the host ideals.
I went to a VK bar in Tokyo and talked to the bartender and he said that the regular girls scared away other customers on the weekends by refusing to let him serve others, since they "paid for his company" by buying drinks, and they would demand from him to play only the one band they listen to the entire night.
I think for a lot of guys who are into VK, most Japanese men who are into VK are CD-only by the way, as in they don't attend the shows but just buy the music from stores and might occasionally show up to onemans and stand in the back, this doesn't create a fun atmosphere since they would prefer to just hang about and talk shit about music and listen to a dozen different bands.
I realize that the bangya culture is what keeps the bands afloat, but I think it's also this culture that sort of kills the fun for a lot of guys who enjoy the music and enjoy the scene aesthetically but isn't just invested in one band and wants to enjoy some host fantasy with them. And this is why guys have a larger part in the western fandom because ours really isn't connected much to the Japanese one beyond listening to the same bands.
To be fair though, quite a few bands try to remedy this by doing those male only shows, and I think that's an awesome thing, although I wish it weren't necessary.
