      Just found this channel today afternoon, a weird mix of mostly Japanese and Italian underground shows focusing mainly on hardcore / metal / punk / a bit of post-punk (the majority of the footage is amateur but good quality, and there's also quite a few VHS and DVD rips of obscure Japanese HC bands both old and new).

      idt I ever recall visual kei fandom being obsessed with feet to the same degree as mario/other nintendo IP stans are tbh. we don't intersect with anything nintendo-related.

       

      there're no marios bros in visual kei 😢

      *acts innocent* mods? What mods? I don't know what yer talking about.

  16. imagine hating a place for being ''disrespectful'' and STILL coming back to it multiple times for some enigmatic reason instead of just starting your own utopian community... weird

      I don't get this whole "there are worse things in the world right now", I'm from Italy, you think I don't know? Either way, to me it's just saddening that the main visual kei space on the internet is a playing field for bullies and holier-than-thou people that can't literally have a conversation without acting flippant. It's fun just for you and your cliques. Most people stick around for news and downloads and that's it. What a great legacy. I'm not around much, I'm just here sparingly to post updates on my favorite minor bands because otherwise no one would and that's pretty much it. I have no problem leaving, all I do is my duty not for the sake of this place, but for the bands I love and support. So here you go

    3. BrenGun

      If we would try harder, bands might would make their music much more easy to get. (So that we also can buy the actually music on a disk, via their own webshop)

       

       

      But as said before, I am only fuly against those uploads who are free to listen on spotify. the rest, well you gotta throw money to it and ya cannot support all artists that way. even if its cheap to get its still expensive.

       

       

       

      but anyway....

      Japanese really don't talk well about the overseas fandom. 

      and 90% of all uploads comes from here, so well...

       

      And we noticed, even if we can use spotify now, bands love love to release many live limited stuff which we don't know about or can't even get easy or for cheap...

       

       

      Do you get it.....?

       

      maybe if we act with a slight bit more respect to not upload every release without any pardon, that bands might would make ALL/MOST OFF  their music available worldwide.... or just interact a bit more freely with their oveeseas fandom too. Some bands are really locked.

       

       

       

      that's what I aim for...

      and that's not hypocritical.

       

       

      Just sad to see, that MH refuse any way of little change.

       

       

      Maybe not sharing anymore isn't the solution. But I still guess we could show some respect towards bands somehow...

       

       

      But anyway, hope you guys still will think about it somehow. 

       

      thats all I say, Amen.

      but I also understand your point... It's all just not simple.

  19. unpopular opinion: there has p much never been a single ''good'' vk interview. the amount of interviews i've read where the musicians actually had anything remotely insightful or interesting to say is legit close to zero.

    1. Tokage

      Tokage

      ''YO HOW ARE WESTERN FANS DIFFERENT FROM THE FANS IN JAPAN'' - every single western vk interview

    2. chemicalpictures

      chemicalpictures

      It's definitely something that is really noticeable, neither do they make an effort nor the questions are good, in 99% of the cases

       

      Few times I felt it was a good read is usually made by japanese outlets/interviewers

       

      One example comes to mind was this series of interviews, really interesting questions and lengthy answers: https://www.shiinamio.com/special

    3. BrenGun

      BrenGun

      I also think its different if you can interview them face to face, Which happens in 99% of the japanese cases. Then bands also reply longer and better. 

      also you see often the interviewer reply such as, oh is this so? why?  and suggestion kind of response.

       

       

      but something it also feels as they don't wanna really promote themselves to overseas audience. because a bunch of interviews also have been done face to face by overseas media.

       

      So maybe, if doing an email interview, its better to ask if you can respond to their answers to Which they reply again. 

      Or to tell them to give proper amswers to promote themselves really good.

       

      But that's something I wanna figure out in the near future.
