    have you ever decided to avoid checking out a release just because the cover art was ugly?

  2. Tokage

    still remain 100% convinced that Joukuu 8000ft single by amber gris is one of the best VK singles EVER

    1. Zeus

      Zeus

      i agree. i was thinking about them yesterday and that's the first thing i thought of.

  3. Tokage

    somehow feel like i'm enjoying Mucc's latest album more than i enjoyed TIW or Ninth upon first listen and i didnt even think that'd be possible in 2019

    1. Ada Suilen

      Ada Suilen

      I liked this one, as expected. with the second half being better than the first one; only a question, but in Living Dead there's another singer along with Tatsurou?

    2. Tokage

      Tokage

      I thought it was Miya doing backing vocals, but i'm not 100% sure

    3. Ada Suilen

      Ada Suilen

      I think it too...

      Auto-mod YEAH

    Anyone know if any of the members from Miss Jelly Fish ever went on to do anything else?

    1. saishuu

      saishuu

      yeah, I wish Shaka would come back as well 😞 too bad his projects never go anywhere

    2. BrenGun

      BrenGun

      I doubt that Shaka ever will come back, he seems to live a happy live. 

      bandman gets older,

      bandman get married...

       

      And I guess, to be still in a vkei band while you are over 40ties can be tiresome.

  7. Tokage

    what am i doing today, dearest friends?

    today i am thingken about eins:vier & their music, which is good

  8. Tokage

    still can't believe how INCREDIBLY underrated Lament. are, still one of the best VK bands of the last decade or so.

    1. karai · ebi

      karai · ebi

      Do you have any other suggestions? Cause I've ended up loving all these bands you've mentioned.

    2. Tokage

      Tokage

      idk if you listened to em yet but MUNIMUNI/ムニムニ are  xtremely good & underrated too

      also these bois if you like vaguely plastic tree-like vibes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJxu6cmNAmE

    3. karai · ebi

      karai · ebi

      Awesome I had not, thanks a lot.
      I do like the actual music of the second one but unfortunately I can't listen to high register voices except in opera, I don't know why. The range in 抗体 is good for me.
      Either way now I actually have some albums I want to buy 🙂

    vk aoty 2019: weezer - teal album

    1. r...

      r...

      this album made me angry and then, sad. what weezer has become is an abomination.

  10. Tokage

    still waiting for dir en grey or some other vk metal band to step it up and incorporate saxophone or some kinda hammond organ in their music for shits & giggles

    1. Jigsaw9

      Jigsaw9

      I want an alternate timeline where after DUM SPIRO SPERO the DEG guys just go even more completely mental and release something like this (note the saxophone feature! :D)

       

      https://drughonkey.bandcamp.com/track/cloak-of-skies-ft-saxophone-by-bruce-lamont-of-yakuza

    2. Tokage

      Tokage

      God I wish Kaoru would inexplicably get into Kayo Dot, Yakuza, Leprous or whatever

    3. Jigsaw9

      Jigsaw9

      Thx for this status btw, cuz now I remembered how great Narcosatanicos are, when trying to search for rock stuff with sax. :D

    3. Miku70

      Miku70

      Probably An Cafe, A9, and The GazettE. And maybe Kiryu.

    goddamn, endon is intense as shit

      i almost forgot they existed. didn't realize they released something new recently

  13. Tokage

    why are tribute bands still a thing? 

    1. Bear

      Bear

      What type of tribute bands? Tribute bands playing covers, or tribute bands who write original tracks but does everything in their power to make it sounds like the original band?

       

      If it's the first, which I assume, I can not tell you because for most part it's lame as fuck. If it's the latter it's because it's awesome.

    2. Tokage

      Tokage

      yeah, i mean the first one, like the million beatles / the doors / pink floyd etc. tribute/imitation acts out there

       

      there's honestly no point to just blandly covering an artist's songs the exact same way they originally played them (but worse)

    3. Bear

      Bear

      I agree. If you're gonna make a cover song, album or whatever, the least you can do is to make the track your own. Make it sound like you made it.

       

      Moonsorrow's cover of Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is a perfect example of how I want my cover song. If you're familiar with the original you'll easily recognize it, but aside from the lyrics which is sung in English as opposed to their usual Finnish  the entire track sounds like an authentic Moonsorrow track. Sounds like they wrote it.

       

      You don't have to like it, but that's how you make a cover IMO.

  14. Tokage

    thinkin about that one time a dude faked terminal cancer just to have a bunch of youtubers LP his shitty mario world romhack

    1. Gesu

      Gesu

      Absolutely disgusting. Please tell me that dickhead got banned.

  15. Tokage

    would be epic, if we went back to that tribe of indigenous people who killed that american missionary and introduced them to KAWAII JROCKERS \m/ \m/ 

    1. nick

      nick

      They would shoot arrows through your Kawaii J-Rockers' CD as a warning when you got there.

    2. Tokage

      Tokage

      the arrows will go straight through the holes in the middle and thereby symbolize ETERNAL PEACE AND JROCKER UNITY

    genuinely surprised that so few VK bands have latched on to vaporwave/synthwave aesthetics tbh

    1. IGM_Oficial

      IGM_Oficial

      .EXE's "Delayt" has some unintentional ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃｓ

    2. Biopanda

      Biopanda

      Has any VK band done that stuff at all? The only band that really comes to mind is kinda THE HAKKIN.

    3. Tokage

      Tokage

      only thing i can think of that comes remotely close to that whole '80s retro wave' aesthetic is the gazette's Falling PV, but that's just in terms of visuals 

  20. Tokage

    fuck whoever initially pointed out Values of Madness sounds like a Merry song cuz now I can't unnotice it anymore

  21. Tokage

    can't say i  expected Ryu Murakami's 'Piercing' of all things to receive a western film adaptation of all things, but there we go lol

  22. Tokage

    Are there JROCKERS that speak

    1. suji

      suji
