  1. Does anyone know anything about Amano Tonbimaru's first band "酸欠マンホオル"?

  2. Nerv Rituell should've released more content. They had a really cool sound (except for one really annoying song lol)

  3. Is anyone able to watch this past twitcast? It just shows a giant thumbnail for me

      It was watchable for a few hours after the stream was done. I guess all twitcasts are like that? The whole platform honestly kinda confuses me lol

  4. Does anyone else like to just take songs that are rerecordings of eachother, and try to mix them together in Audacity?
    I find that I've been doing that a lot lately lol.

  5. IDK if anyone has talked about this yet, but Gulu Gulu uploaded a preview of one of their unreleased songs (played live). I can already see myself singing along to this nonstop lol

     

  6. Happy Birthday!!

  7. Since all this meming about whether Chick Fil A and Popeyes is better is going around, can I just ask? Why does Chick Fil A act like they own fried chicken put in between bread?

    1. colorful人生

      colorful人生

      I mean, Chick-fIl-A chicken sandwiches are some good shit, and while they're a national brand, they're particularly concentrated in the Southeastern US. While brining their chicken in pickle juice and pressure frying create their chicken's unique flavor, they claim that they invented the actual "chicken sandwich" in the 1940s. It's an unsubstantiated claim, and hot chicken between two slices of bread certainly existed long before them.

       

      As someone from the Southeast, Chick-fil-A is leagues beyond most of the fast-food options in the region when it comes to service and food quality. They invest a lot in integrating with their surrounding communities and are fast-food havens for the upper-middle class (who can justify the price hike relative to McD or BK for quality.) When I was part of my youth town-council several years ago, we worked exclusively with them for community events.

       

      On the other side, Popeyes has been perceived a lot differently compared to Chick-fil-A, with deep-southern influence and a lower-class demographic (relative to CfA, McD is the most affordable tmk.) While their new sandwich comes at a premium relative to other items on their menu, having something on-par with CfA's "pride and joy" has stirred a lot of interest. It contests with CfA's cushy spot as "America's Restaurant".

       

      There's, oddly enough, some "political" nuance to this related to CfA that I'm clearly dodging b/c forum rules. If you Google it, you'll find a ton of stuff.

       

      As for my opinion, CfA's quality is pretty much the same nationwide, and they have pretty high ff standards (for both sanitation and food.) I usually seek them out if I'm on-the-road while traveling. That consistency is attractive to me, but local cuisines/"hole-in-the-walls" are always my first choice if I'm familiar with the area.

       

      I've had Popeyes only a few times b/c they're not as common where I'm at, but they're pretty damn good as well.

      i thought i'd be able to bring out that one tweet. because above poster beat me to it and with a much better explanation than i would have offered simply from observation, so i'm going to say it anyways.

       

      everyone's talking about that popeye's chicken sandwich but yall never look into your pop's eyes and tell him you love him

  8. Mamo from R-Shitei now hands out hair and nail clippings at lives.

  9. Well this isn't something I'd expect from Vietnam. A full produced music video for a Hat Van song (Hat Van is traditional poetry set to music to accompany Shamanism). Even if it is pretty condensed (traditionally, Hat Van songs go on for hours.) it's pretty cool to see something more authentic than that cheap sounding pop music they play during new years lol. I think this is a cool way to preserve traditional arts and I love the work that went into this.

     

  10. I think Youtube is gonna bring back the star rating system soon. They just asked me to rate a video I watched a super long time ago.67901381_427907467810101_443827552844041

     

    Now if only they could bring back the old youtube in full lol

      I know right? I remember the various "youtube national anthems" made by 009 Sound System that everyone hated, but I liked lol

  11. Can we appreciate Kyounosuke Yoshitate? I never see anyone talk about him. I want to be able to sing like him, although it's probably not physically possible for me lol

     

  12. "Deep Love" and "A Habit" by Kar'MariA sound like they could be Grieva songs. I wonder if Grieva ever did a cover of a Yuuga song. I know that the song Wish uses elements of the Chateau la Tour song "I Wish" but is mainly based on I'll from Dir en Grey

      Yuuga covered himself enough, so

  13. I want to make a post in the disabilities thread, but I'm like 90%sure my last response there was attention whoring at worst, and at best, me just being misinformed about what's actually wrong with me and I'm too afraid to look lol. Recently, I've been able to actually get diagnosed with wtf is wrong with me, and we haven't found out everything yet, not nearly, but we already know I'm bad enough to where I couldn't work a job. 

  14. Visual Kei Musicians: *does absolutely nothing*
    Some dude who only chugs Metallica riffs in his bedroom on a line 6 spider amp: "unlike you f*gs with your fancy lipstick, I play REAL music, and I come from when you had to be able to play Erruption at 50000 bpm in order to make it! I only listen to musicians with absolutely no fashion sense hygiene. If you so much as brush your hair, you're a gay f*g who plays pseudo metal. I care about the music not the looks!"

    1. psychonnect_rozen

      psychonnect_rozen

      Ah I see.

       

      Yeah, it’s like they think “x ruins metal” but when you think about it, VK is pretty niche in terms of like popularity. Most metal fans who act like this probably are pretty close minded

       

      I mean, I think men look good with makeup lol.

       

      It’s funny when people say that when in reality VK was partially inspired by 80s hair metal. 

       

      I hate metal elitists sometimes. Hell, I hate being part of the metal community to begin with

    2. Himeaimichu

      My partner is involved with the prog metal community, and I gotta say, they're surprisingly pretty open minded to Vkei. Especially compared to the boomers/wannabe boomers. I'd say try out the prog community, but they'd bombard you with technical musical terms that most orchestra players haven't even heard lol. The Djent community is also open minded to Vkei, as I've noticed there is a lot who are finding out about Deviloof and Nokubura, and are liking it. There is also considerable overlap between prog fans and Djent fans lol. 

       

      I think the main difference is that prog and Djent fans try out new music and are in general open minded, while metal boomers still listen to the same stuff they were as a child. 

    3. psychonnect_rozen

      psychonnect_rozen

      Oh no the prog community is fantastic, especially when it comes to Diru. 

       

      But yeah, metal boomers are the fucking worst. If your gonna complain about how metal sucks nowadays, then your probably a miserable boring person lol

  15. My kink is early 2000s Vkei riffs that overuse Pinch Harmonics. 

    Classics like 癖 from Mist of Rouge

  16. I just found out the lyrics for Homodachi no Wa by Devil Kitty, and damn, that's pretty damn gay. (perfect for me lmao)

    Also, I finally know what the hell Yuuga is saying in the beginning. He's spelling out "Love", but it sounds like he's saying "N! R! A! E!" lmao

    1. Peace Heavy mk II

      Peace Heavy mk II

      Oh, he's saying l - o - v -e

  17. So I had no idea the lead vocalist for Taiji with Heavens is literally the same dude who sang for Kilah. Kilah is one of the bands that got me into the Eternal/Climax Enterprise rabbit hole lol.

  18. Deleted my old tumblr. That dumpsterfire is in the past, like my edgelord phase.

  19. Twitter's new PC layout is ugly AF

  20. Does anyone know anything about the Yuuga band titled "愛すべき糞バンギャ様"? Apparently he was in it after Devil Kitty, but before starting Fakestar.

  21. If you think about it, Soulja Boy was the prototypical mumble rapper. That dude manages to mumble while shouting.

  22. New Agers have made it almost impossible to listen to traditional Asian music, especially Indian, Tibetan, and Japanese, without a bunch of shoehorned pseudo-science that doesn't even exist in Asia. Like, I just want to hear the music, I don't need a speech about how A432 Hz will "open your chakras and your third eye". I don't think they even care that much about the specific A-Note tuning in Asia.

    As well, they've also made it really hard to find actual authentic traditional Asian music, because they market their FL Studio stuff as "Traditional", even though it doesn't musically resemble anything actually traditionally played in Asia. You can't just put a bunch of Chinese VSTs in FL Studio and call it "Traditional Japanese". (though there are also other reasons that traditional Asian music, that's actually authentic, is hard as fuck to find. Mostly due to stuff like Mao's cultural revolution and the pressure to westernise literally everything down to the sounds of the instruments. I'm looking at you, China)

      Had to revisit this status b/c Adam Neely did a video on tuning to the different A432 Hz "chakra" frequencies. Though considering that the video was posted on the same day, your status might've been inspired from this (?)

       

      I think there's benefits in using A432, but using it in such a haphazard snake-oil way is ridiculous. Ends up sounding ridiculous too, haha.

       

    3. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      Oh yeah, that's another rabbit hole lol. I think A432 could be good if, say, you're a singer and its more in your range. But when it comes to the actual temperament, unless you're an experimental musician, the whole push to switch to something other than equal temperament honestly makes little sense in the scale of western music. Although alternate tuning systems are really fascinating.

  24. Duolingo now has Vietnamese, so I decided to start learning it. I have pretty much all the time in the world on my hands, so hopefully I'll learn quick

    1. Peace Heavy mk II

      Peace Heavy mk II

      Nice! I'm using it to learn Madarin, although I'm hitting a wall with the difficulty and have kind of switched over to another app that has a better learning speed.

    2. Gesu

      I was learning Japanese a while back but I haven't been on it in ages and that owl is probably pissed at me. Anyways, good luck to you, @Peace Heavy mk II! What app are you using now? ^_^

    3. Peace Heavy mk II

      HelloChinese. It has a lot of advantages that Duo currently does not, namely:

       

      -in depth grammar explanations that reflect the context of the sentence (sometimes Duo's tooltip hints don't actually apply to the sentence at hand, so you're left to guess and get it wrong so you "learn from your mistakes." Normally, that's fine, but the app gives you a health bar that they then charge you to refill. tl;dr : you can only make so many mistakes before they try to charge you to try again)

      -character lessons

      -audio doesn't sound like Siri being put through a cheese grater

      -practice games (spelling, word recognition, listening comprehension, etc)

      -listening portions are people they found outside and asked them to record a sentence. There's something that never gets old about seeing some girl in the park standing there and saying "....celery..." with a confused look on her face, all for my betterment.

      -They introduce content in chunks. I'm finding Duo throws a ton of unexplained grammar and vocabulary at you and it's up to you to figure out how to piece it together. For earlier levels, that's fine. But I'm into the late 30's - early 40's group of lessons and it's getting too difficult to parse through everything and remember it.

  25. I tried out a little more of 2015 Devil Kitty, and I found this song titled "Surrender", which I' can't find anywhere else, and it's essentially a cover of Schizophrenia from Chateau la Tour. EDIT: Apparently it's actually a Gokiburi song? That would actually make more sense, tbh. Except for the pic of Devil Kitty

     

    1. Peace Heavy mk II

      Peace Heavy mk II

      It's on one of Gokiburi's live distributed singles. That YT account is their guitarist's, and he posted a couple of demos that later became DK songs (namely, guitar and bass-focused instrumental versions of "Mugen Loop").
