  3. Tried uploading torrents on JPS today. Mixed bag, a few were successful at high speeds, but one of them has five leechers, I'm only connected to one, and the upload speeds have never hit 100KB/s, rarely went above 50. UGHHH

    1. Seimeisen

      And I'm using open ports. And it's a 730mb download, so I feel kinda bad for those leechers

  4. And my cali≠gari crate got shipped, hooray! Now let's hope my town doesn't get evacuated before it arrives. Fire season's early this year...

  5. Fucking hell yes, my suruga-ya order finally got to the warehouse, after an entire month of challenged patience!

     

    Now I just wait for the Amazon stuff I ordered today, then I can finally ship my next cali≠gari haul

  6. I did some math and 61.2% of the songs in my iTunes library are Japanese. The percentage of Japanese artists is 58.66%. 157.95GB of a total 258.83GB

      Out of curiosity, how'd you do the math? :o I could do something similar by counting all the songs I have under the genre tag "visual kei" and probably like half of the songs i have tagged "emo" or "screamo", as that's the most of 'em, but I'll still miss a lot of other stuff.

      For the grouping field, I use national regions, e.g North America, Europe, Japan, Australia. I also have grouping tags for VK, doujin (trying to cut down on that shit tho), and Bandcamp for some reason

      oooo that's smart

  7. No better time to buy shit from Japan when my currency (USD) is falling off a cliff 🙃

      long gone are the days in which $1 was equivalent to 120+ yen T~T

      I'll never forget the glorious 5 minutes in 2015 when USDJPY was ~¥125

       

      Still much better than 2012 when it got as low as 75

  8. I will never get over how atrocious those covers for the new lynch. album are. They all look like web store place holder images

    1. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      They are exceptionally bad. I don't get it - Their covers are usually pretty nice.

  9. The new DEZERT album is not as bland as I expected it to be. I'm actually enjoying it more the second time around.

      It's actually pretty good

      I've only sampled a couple of songs and it's a definite improvement on TODAY for sure. The guy from Moran is finally playing like he's from Moran too.

      Just ended to listen to it now! OMG! They improved a lot since Today, which I liked too :-D

  10. WILD GODS is all that I care about

    WILD GODS is all that matters

    Go listen to WILD GODS

  11. Can't believe I missed it, last Monday was the 10th anniversary of D'espairsRay's last good album, REDEEMER. It also marked the 10th anniversary of me being a VK fan.

    1. God

      God

      Has it been that long already?  I remember when that came out.  A friend of mine heard it and then she got hella obsessed w Hizumi.  She printed off a bunch of his pics at the library and hung them up on her wall, then would tell me everything about them.  😂

      The last good album was sexual beast tbh 🦐🦎🐍🐍

      I'd settle for MIRROR myself

  12. If ANGELS isn't the best NOVEMBERS album EVER, I'm gonna be kinda mad ngl

      I'm just dying of suspense here. They talk about the upcoming ANGELS tour on twitter ALL THE TIME, but almost never mention anything about the actual album. No release date, no tracklist, nada. They're mastering the album today apparently.

      But I can't get my hopes up! In 2016, 黒い虹 had me hyping as fuck for Hallelujah, that song was amazing and still is, but then the album came and the rest of it disappointed me. I think I only listened to it a few times.

    4. CAT5

      CAT5

      Yeah, 'Hallelujah' was pretty much the same for me - I haven't found myself returning to it at all. Their sound just seems so constrained on that album

  13. Can Amazon just hurry the hell up and ship my copy of NINTH already? Gotta get that sweet e-mail/text notif combo

  14. It's official, I'll be in Japan 5/22-6/04 ... let the money hemorrhaging begin

  15. I alway think to myself that I want drag queens to start a black metal band, but then I remember we have visual kei ... that kinda counts, right?

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      Madeth Gray'll is almost sorta kinda close enough? lol

      don't ask me why but these guys sound somehow like the middle point between black metal & nagoya kei
      not sure if that's anything like what you were looking for when you made the update lol but they're a quality band i don't think enough people know about

    3. WhirlingBlack

      WhirlingBlack

      Drag culture and VK culture thankfully have very little in common.

  16. I didn't know lack-co had an album out. Guess I gotta check them out now

  17. Lately whenever a VK band announces a single, I just think, "oh fuck off, announce a new album or GTFO"

    1. Kira_Uchiha

      Kira_Uchiha

      True, especially if that single comes in several fucking editions to milk as much money as they can.

  18. Will 2018 be the year I turn into a Gossip stan? Could have sworn I used to hate them, but then they drop two albums and next thing I know, I'm downloading all their shit

    1. VkBrutaliaN

      VkBrutaliaN

      i'm kinda in the same situation - loved their very first 2 maxi singles but after than except for a few certain songs they didn't got me at all...

      but bought both of their full albums and i love EVERY SINGLE SONG on both! 8D

  19. Digging 90% VERSUS, but I still think Shangri-La is a pile of garbage

    1. Peace Heavy mk II

      Peace Heavy mk II

      Listening to it at work atm. I'm really only half-listening, but I haven't skipped anything and it's been enjoyable background music.

      agreed on the shangri-la comment

       

  20. cali≠gari's 10 is like an ultra-campy Mario Kart soundtrack

      oh i forgot that was even a fucking thing lol, is it just demo versions of the whole album or what?

       

    3. Seimeisen

      Seimeisen

      Demos of the entire album apparently, sans the SE tracks ofc. Hasn't leaked [yet] but my copy should show up in a few days.

    4. Tokage

      those cali gari dudes got too many rarez lately, fr

       

      we'll probably never see that Ra's Al Ghul Gorgonzola or whatever it was called surfacing

  21. It feels very 2008 to download a release to find it has romaji tags and low-res artwork

    1. IGM_Oficial

      IGM_Oficial

      One of the greatest frustrations one can have.

  22. Still no button to view all status updates? C'mon IPB, get your heads out of your asses!

      you can make your own by going to "activity" at the top right of the page and clicking on my "activity streams" then "create new stream" at the bottom of the menu.

       

      cheers :D

      I know, it's just more convenient to have the link right there underneath all the other status updates XD

  23. Goddamn, where is that XIBALBA album? A couple things I ordered 4 days later showed up at the FJ warehouse, what's taking so long?

    1. Seimeisen

      Seimeisen

      I'm really hoping I have nothing to worry about, but I spent ¥9,000 on this CD

  24. I just spent ¥9,000 on XIBALBA's collection album... that's how insane I am. My first time bidding on an auction with other bidders and I won! :D

    1. Komorebi

      Komorebi

      I really thought about getting it but I saw other people bidding on it and I chickened out lol

    2. Keiyuu

      Keiyuu

      As long as you're not spending 18.000+ on a 2-track demotape you're still in the sane zone, I'd say. :D

  25. Now let's see how many days it takes to rip these 40 CDs...

    1. 蝉時雨色 -semishigureiro-

      蝉時雨色 -semishigureiro-
