kisumi kinbaku

Ok I totally forgot about Leda. Eventho I'm not familiar with many vk bands, I know this dude because he works with Golden Bomber (my fav) behind the scene. And this is how I know that Golden Bomber and BABYMETAL are somehow related to one another LOL (which makes me love them even more). Then there's everset's tatsuo who was/is still involved in some of BABYMETAL's song composition. tatsuo co-arranges all of Golden Bomber's songs together with Kiryuuin (Golden Bomber's vocalist). As for the other dudes, I know they're really talented musicians, just that I had no idea that they had anything to do with vk

I love traditional japanese sound + rock and I tried to get into this band but their sound is not my cup of tea I guess. D: Yeah, it just feels like something's not right LOL Thanks for mentioning Kagrra and Onmyoza, I may check them out later

That, and for those who always use service like tenso which provides japanese address, I wonder if they will refuse to ship Avex CDs/DVDs to us in the future? I always have my items shipped to tenso's warehouse, and it'll suck if I won't be able to do so in the future.

I see. I didn't know that Kami band had some relation to vk. Thought they're non-vk jrockers. Once again, thanks for your responses!

Thanks, so we can actually sell non-vk stuff there (I was kinda afraid to do it cos it seemed like everyone was selling vk stuff) Will do later.

Kisumi = Kiss Me Kinbaku = Wiki There you go. Also no, I'm not a perv or anything...the "kiss me!" part is just me copying the vocalist's self-intro: 自己紹介：キスミー！(^-^) *copypasted from his ameba profile* I think it's so cute! PS: The wiki says so, but they actually do play their instruments live sometimes. They just say they don't because they want the general public to believe so. Just feel like throwing this out here

Ah...BABYMETAL. One of my fav groups. I'm not really a fan of Metal Resistance tho. Their self-titled album was more of my style, and I listen to it A LOT. Megitsune is pure gold. Loveee its concept + style. Please message me if you guys want to buy their BD + singles + album. They're in totally great condition, I just don't know where else to advertise (beside tumblr)!

Judging from that noroi PV (that one with the white dude), I feel like they did get tired of promoting it everywhere XD (poor guys, their other songs are just as catchy XD ) But during concerts they seem to enjoy performing it as usual since it's a fan fav

Golden Bomber: Vo. Kiryuuin Shou = Ichirou Shou Gu. Kyan Yutaka = Saito Yutaka Ba. Utahiroba Jun = Takayama Jun For Darvish Kenji, I forgot XD

I have used White Rabbit a few times in the past. I say their service is pretty good. They can be pretty slow at replying to your emails, and the fees that they charge can be pretty expensive compared to ZenMarket for example, but your stuff will reach you just fine Their language products are pretty cool too (Kana / Kanji Flashcards & posters, etc) By the way, everyone MUST check out 'suruga-ya' if it hasn't been mentioned yet here. Then ship your orders to tenso.com

I listen to Momoiro Clover Z sometimes, and just recently I found out that some songs by their sister groups (Team Syachihoko, Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, etc) are not bad.

Golden Bomber's Kiryuuin Shou. I literally die whenever he sings their slow songs, and they have quite a lot of slow songs (Sekai Heiwa, Hirogaru Sekai, Sayonara3x, Kimi ga Inai Ma ni, Haru ga Kuru Mae ni, etc)

So far, I've spent the most on Golden Bomber. Everytime I get my salary I'll check out their stuff that I haven't bought yet and will spend around 15,000 yen for DVDs + tour goods + etc No regret

This and I always use 'songbirds'

You can always visit aramajapan.com for some 'evidence', as the guys there always post the Oricon data & such. These are some bands that are huge with the general public: RADWIMPS back number Mr. Children Southern All Stars Man with a Mission B'z Sekai no Owari

Agree, and in Golden Bomber's case, you know you're popular & mainstream in Japan when you got to appear alongside people like Arashi & SMAP on national TV, more than once. Then let's not forget Kouhaku. They didn't make it last year, but they managed to perform there for FOUR years straight. Their concerts are held at big venues like Yokohama Arena, Saitama Super Arena, etc.

Golden Bomber. They still have their loyal fans, but I think that the general public is no more into Memeshikute, not as much as before at least.

I find myself having a soft spot for Keyakizaka46 these days. Blame 'Silent Majority'. AKB's old sound was my style. Now, not so much.

Softporn, yes, this is what they've been doing since forever but real, full-blown one? As a huge fan of them I can't imagine it too XD Kirisho and Yutaka don't even want to kiss each other properly (in public), and Kirisho said that it's 'scary' how he kissed Yutaka when he's drunk XD (he said that he can't remember a thing, ehem, but Kenji told him what he did). I'm like 'yeah okay, right. so you can't remember a thing. ahah'. LOL if we're talking about mainstream idols, even for a group like AKB48, out of hundreds of them, only 1 / 2 or 3 of them ended up doing hardcore porn after they graduated (so far). One of them already left the porn business (after just a short time). They may seem like they'll end up being AV idols after they graduate (thanks to all those 'naughty' photoshoots and stuff...), but they mostly prefer to continue singing / acting in normal stuff THIS. There's this one toku actor who I kinda like (Kamen Rider Blade). He was caught being in an old jgv vid where he's being sucked by another dude, LOL. There's even a Golden Bomber-themed AV and I'm like ..... XD

That, and "yume no naka de" , since the first time that I heard Arashi's Aiba said it, for some reason. And then "kutabare" and "kuso" -.-" XD

Hehe it can't be helped that they never fail to perform that song everytime too! Yes, here's my twitter: https://twitter(dot)com/saite_kirikyan I'm not really active there though. I use it mainly for updates ;3 Ohhh that video. It seems like it's quite popular here LOL! Yeah, eventhough I don't know much about bands like X and Malice Mizer, I'm happy that the PV got some great reviews by old-time vk fans! VJS 2016? I don't think I've seen their part. I think I've only watched the interview part or something...was it the one where they sang 'Memeshikute' together with Yoshiki? And then Kirisho was praised by ToshI and all right? You're so lucky to be able to go!

Thanks for the warm welcome! And wow, a fellow GB fan! <3 Ah, Dakishimete Schwarz is one of my favs too and they need to reveal the truth more often LOL!
