This is a weird question, but am I the only one who thinks that smart phones have taken the wrong route, design-wise?
I'm sorry... but I really don't see the appeal in having wafer-thin phones that can bend in your pocket if designed poorly, or phones that are literally all screen.
 
Imo, those don't improve my experience at all. If anything, they are a detriment to it because there is so fucking little to hold onto when watching a video. It honestly feels unergonomic to use, and this may just be my nostalgia for the early 2000's speaking, but I honestly miss the physical feel of old-school smart phones, and I honestly don't feel that just making the entire phone a screen, with no physical buttons at all, or even edges, really improves the user experience.
 
I honestly would be happy with a phone that has the physical design of a t-mobile sidekick, but with the modern capabilities of modern smart phones.

Still can't get over the fact Hakuei claimed that only Japanese people can be Vkei because according to him, you have to have a very specific set of facial features. 
Guess any Japanese person who doesn't look like Hakuei can't be Vkei. Sorry guys, must be Ainu or Ryukyuan or something lmao. Like, I'm no anthropologist, but according to Hakuei, having a sharp jaw is a Japanese trait.

If anyone wants to hear really cool Chinese Folk Metal, try out the band Snowsedim. The guitars are pretty basic, not gonna lie, but they use Chinese instruments that aren't seen as often. Like, this song features a Banhu, a type of folk Fiddle from Northern China, often the lead instrument in Hebei Opera. 
Honestly the fact its basic and catchy makes it even more authentic, because Chinese opera is traditionally based on simple, catchy melodies. The vocalist has a really powerful voice when singing as well. It's definitely a more rustic take on Chinese tradition, which is cool because I prefer the more rustic forms of traditional Chinese music anyway lol. 
 

There is this one Lutena (Mahiro from Kiryu ex band) song that I pulled from Xiami, and it's a "live version", but the instrumentals sound studio, albeit lofi, and the vocals are the only thing that's live.
 
Not only that but its incomplete. There are no drums, guitar or bass, but it sounds like there should be. Maybe I can upload it when I'm less sick and anyone who wants to make their own guitar and drum parts can do so lmao

Go listen to  メメント・モリ-  桜火、淡き五月雨に。－哀悼の意－,  it's a bop.

Well I made a new twitter, and deleted my old one.

In メルヘン遊園地 (MARCHEN Yuuenchi) by Missalina Rei, Arisu is basically is just straight up traditional Japanese vocal techniques in the chorus. Of course, wouldn't be the first time a Vkei vocalist has done some form of Traditional Japanese vocals.

Youtube videos be titled "Best handpicked selection of traditional Chinese music!" and it's all Derek and Brandon Fietcher and any other new age producer who thinks they're spiritual by interpolating the "Oriental Riff"

So I'm guessing late 90s vkei bands got their love for spoken lyrics from Deshabillz? Or did Deshabillz get it from somewhere else?

wondering what happened to that ban on politicsposting my kings and female kings 👀

Ah man, I have really been neglecting Deshabillz. Anyone got any other good recommendations for mid 90's Kote Kei?  It seems most of the 90's Vkei I listen to are either late 90's or early 90's lol

We deserve a Phantasmagoria revival, but with Shio from Hiskarea instead of Kisaki. 
Of course that'll sadly never happen

Does anyone have cats that have weird music preferences? My bebby Faerie loves it when I play Javanese Gamelan music

I'm thinking of scanning my Cuartet pics in better quality, and re-ripping my Gill'e Cadith CD so the files aren't so fucking HUGE

Who knew that Gulu Gulu would provide us what some of us wish DEZERT would provide to us? Holy fuck the new mini is awesome. It's not Kuroyuri, it's not Memento Mori, it's its own thing, but in a good way. Hearing Ai's voice again just makes me feel so happy. If my highschool days were filled with me jamming Kuroyuri and DEZERT, my young adult days will be spent jamming to Gulu Gulu and JIGSAW

I just had my first EDS related dislocation. I was practicing vocals and my jaw went out of socket, but I managed to get it back in but it fucking hurts like shit.
Note to self: Don't scream the lyrics to Banzai Ikare Kei by DEViL KiTTY so intensely

If you want a good Christian alternative to celebrating 420 by smoking weed then you can celebrate Hitler's birthday by listening to some Nazi-kei instead
