oh no that sucks i hate it????
 
bassists are replaceable af but they didn't even bother coughing out a decent PR lie for this announcement out of respect for their fans.
he was so pretty too!

This is very bland. I wouldn't have minded the old school metalcore shit if it werent for the lyrics. They really should try to get a native English speaker to write/proofread their lyrics cuz they are cringy and boring

People are reacting to the newest single. New opinions. On a new song. I think you need to take a deep breath and realize that nothing said here is directed at you. I, for one, am not interested in the group anymore after listening to this single and given their current history, but nowhere in my comments did I say anything negative, hateful, or spiteful towards anyone else. It's great that you like this, but people are allowed to have differing opinions. Chill out.

Let's (goddammit) get the thread back on track now. I know we're all thirsty for some DIMLIM action, so we should wait patiently until the January youtube livestream. I'll be hiding any further off-topic posts for the sake of avoiding clutter 

You're literally one step away from getting a ban, dude.
 
Trust me we would all love to have a never ending discussion about dimlim but it's really one sided right now. You need to actually try and engage with the community. It won't kill you to mingle with people who have a different opinion in a civilized manner.

Didn't you know?
 
Saying your opinion is trolling. Unless you're saying dimlim is the second coming of christ. Then you may state your opinion. Anyway, beware of this new rule cuz I'mma have to start giving out warnings and bans around here

I really want to have my copy ... I like what I hear
 
Now the haters will come to spit shit haha I piss laughing

Satoshi speaks out about girugamesh’s disbandment
https://jrocknews.com/2020/11/satoshi-girugamesh-disband.html

The whole thing is here: https://jpfiles.eu/japanese/japanese-dvdiso/bdiso-dir-en-grey-落ちた事のある空-パッケージ版-blu-ray-2020-08-03/

Slap that link in Y2Mate and boom. + Beware of random booby pics that will pop up at you. haha.

Here's a summary of the post:
Kana was diagnosed with adjustment disorder in January 2018 and he told the president of B'Forest Inc., but the president didn't understand and told him he was sick and fired him.  In March he got an attorney and in June he filed a lawsuit against the president for power harassment and for money he was owed.  In the first trial it was confirmed that B'Forest Inc. owed Kana 3.2 million yen and that the president did indeed partake in power harassment.  The court ordered B'Forest Inc. to pay Kana 3.7 million yen.  However the president made an appeal, and at the appeal hearing in August 2020 they reached a settlement in Kana's favor of 3.3 million yen and an apology for the president's lack of consideration towards Kana's disorder.  Kana received the settlement in September. 

He couldn't write about it before because it was part of the trial, but he had been suffering from power harassment for years and eventually developed adjustment disorder because of it.  Apparently the president never admitted to power harassment.  Kana does not forgive the harassment and was initially adamant about the court's decision because he didn't want it to keep happening to his former label mates, but after the president appealed he just decided to accept the settlement.  He wants his former label mates to be paid properly or to stop working for the label.  He also made it a point to say that the president did apologize so no one should slander him or harass him because of this. 
 
In regards to how he's doing he says he is physically and mentally healthy.  The trial took a long time and he had to get treatment for his disorder but he's glad he worked so hard and was rewarded by the trial.  He didn't want to leave all the people that were concerned about him without answers, and he wanted to talk about his feelings over the last two and a half years, so this is why he made the post now.  He would like to return to the stage again some day and hopes everyone is doing well during these times. 

 

Releasing singles>>>>>>> Dropping a bloated album full of MID.
 
Yeah No, and correct me if i'm wrong LIME is totally against recording a full length. And That's the best play possible for ANY band tbh.
 
Also, Kizu needs to embrace whats happening around them. Niggas is streaming left and right. If they dont wanna stream, record a set and put it up for a nice price via VOD. There's a lot of people who are still coming to terms with this and it doesn't help that theres no real set plan on getting the world back on track. So on the other hand, i can see why they're kind of being wishy washy. They'll be ight. I hope they don't disband.

I'm confused about this.A post a couple of pages back with a show report from a Japanese friend of a member here saying the opposite,with Sho supposedly hitting his mic on his head and was doing great as a frontman and the backtracked bass and guitar sounded great.Even had a couple seconds of clips that says otherwise that the band has no passion and the crowd looked like they were having fun and full of energy.
 
NVM the show report and clips were from their Dec show.

I love Noise 👿🔥"

Hahahahahaha. That made me spit out my drink.
 
Actually I've noticed this happening a lot lately. Random fake songs appearing on bands' spotify pages with no context nor explanation. I wonder why this is becoming such an issue lately?

@enyx

@Egnirys cimredopyh I don't know what to tell you, but it's definitely not sukekiyo. Unless they're being held at gun point.

Why did you want to become a vocalist?
Well, I was actually a guitarist. Back then the vocalist was ill, so I decided to sing our songs. Also I was singing while I was playing the guitar.
 
When you started your first band, “Visual Kei” was still not named. How did you call your own style?
I didn’t transmit anything from myself. I left it up to the sensitivity of the fans’ perception.
 
Back in the days, which bands or things inspired you the most?
Pete Burns
 
Why did you decide to wear strong make-up? 
I was able to transform into the other me. 
 
I’ve seen that “地下室の旋律” was an inspiration for “La Madame Rochas”. (a one shot manga from 1994). Why did you like this manga so much?
A part of the story is about me. (laugh)
 
Later when the term Visual Kei was used for bands who wear makeup. Did you embrace that term? Or did you dislike the term?
I hate the word “visual kei” 
 
Visual Kei has really changed completely in the years hasn’t? 
The current scene is rotten. Everything is imitating. It’s just fake.
 
Do you mind if people call you a “visual kei” band/artist? Please tell us the reason.
As I said before, it’s up to my fans and third parties.
 
When you look at visual kei nowadays, what do you think and feel? 
It’s over. I can’t look at it. 
 
You are already long in the music world, what changed the most in all those years?
There are really less musicians who really play music with the heart. 
They only can say “We are the coolest!”. But only a few people really put effort in their own music to be really the coolest. 
 
What’s the most difficult thing about being an artist? 
SNS
 
Are there more instruments which you can play?
Guitar
 
You formed DRESS or NUDE in 2017/8, what’s the biggest difference from your past bands?
Making a sound which also gives sex appeal to adults. 
 
How did you meet the members of DRESS or NUDE? 
We are all acquaintances
 
Why did you choose to name your mini album “PARADOX UNDERGROUND“? 
This one came to my mind straight away. So we chose this one.
 
What was your biggest inspiration for creating 「PARADOX UNDERGROUND」?
We’ve put on the most popular songs of that time. It’s like a business card. 
 
Please tell me the concept of each lyric of “PARADOX UNDERGROUND.
揚羽  / It expresses the mind’s dependence.
歪に曲がる  / The madness which is hidden within you.
SWEET SLAVES  / A complete play on words.
TANZANITE  / A song about dependence and madness.
 
DRESS or NUDE 1st mini album “PARADOX UNDERGROUND”, is it possible for an overseas fan to obtain it?
Yes
 
What is your inspiration for writing lyrics?
It depends on how I feel at the time I write a song.
 
Are you planning to release a new CD?
I want to release a new CD as fast as possible.
 
Do you have planned activities for the near future? Or will you wait until covid-19 is over?
We will adjust our activity to the world’s situation.
 
You have many tattoos. Are you still happy with all of them? Or do you regret a few?
I will get some new ones!
 
What does tattooing mean to you?
To be able to express myself
 
What’s your favorite tattoo?
