And it isn't really about the piracy, but more about the preservation of media that would otherwise be lost to time. For popular stuff, there is already Jpopsuki. I'm more talking about the otherwise completely forgotten bands

why say something so controversial yet so brave?

ash is from myaku single (2001). garden is from one of their VHS tapes iirc.

any news is good news

Taking a lil break most likely. corona doesn't help either. they're probably beside themselves over finishing up their world tour just in time.

there was a yuge twitter breach. lots of people got hacked.

What do you mean?

Maybe perhaps HOWL and DE/CLIO
 
 
 

What do you mean?

He's a very egoistic man who does and says lots of super cringe things. Stuff we've talked about on this forum include: His penis training regimen, when GACKT wrote himself as an OC into FF, YELLOW FRIED CHICKENZ (the whole thing was a mistake. It's also a prime specimen of his strange beliefs that he has the power and responsibility to make men "less effeminate" and "manly"), when he also made himself into a PUBG character, his general attitude as being one of the best things in Japanese music period (I mean yeah he's good but he's dropped off a bit imo), his fanatical unironic fanbase who just stroke his ego even harder which makes him do more stupid things... Don't take my words as fire or malice or anything like that. I love ragging on old legends who act silly like Yoshiki and GACKT but deep down I'm more sympathetic to them as artists than some other people are, even on this forum. You'd notice that I don't actually talk trash about his talent or his music, because they are solid and I respect that about him.

This live footage is on their official channel.
 

site died after the redesign in 2012. good for maintaining statistics and sometimes for grabbing images of bands, but not much else. if you still want to sign up, you can find me here.

vocalist and bassist of onmyoza are married

Firstly, my condolences bro. Very sorry to hear this. Had you proposed to her already?
 
Secondly, you said "i'm not worth it". Throw that bullshit thought in the trash where it belongs. I know you are hurt, and I feel your pain, but just because this chick doesn't want to marry, it doesn't mean that you are not worth it, or that you're not worth marrying. You gotta it in your head that "you're the prize" no matter what, and realize and respect your own worth.
 
Lastly, I know you love this girl, but if you truly want to marry and this girl does not want to, then I think you'd be doing yourself a huge disservice by staying with her (and eventually causing yourself more pain). If you stay hoping that this girl will change her mind, then you will only be deceiving yourself (and wasting more time).
 
If you want to marry - stand on that, and do not change YOUR vision just because SHE wants something else. Think about it. This girl been with you three years. That's way more than enough time to decide if you want to marry someone or not. Look at this for what it is and do not deceive yourself. You've been dating this girl for 3 years, and she doesn't want to commit? Basically, she letting you know "i'm ok with fucking this dude and wasting his time, but I don't want to commit to him. I'll just hang around until #1 I get bored, or #2 I find something else".
 
Let your Yes be your yes, and your No's be your No's - anything else is manipulation.
 
You ain't gotta go out like that bro.
 
Many people do not understand marriage. Marriage is not a piece of paper. It's not a social construct, it's not a financial agreement, a legal contract, a ring or a dress. It's literally the process of two becoming one.
 
If that is what you truly desire, you cannot afford to waste your time and energy on wishy-washy people who are not intentional. People who just wanna drift and "see where things go". Nah, fuck that. Relationships are serious, and from what you've told us about this girl, she just seems to want the benefits of a relationship without the commitment. And that's suspect as hell...
 
Obviously, you should make your own decision...and whatever you choose to do, make sure you're doing it because YOU truly want to do it....don't do anything just to please this girl, and definitely don't do anything out of the fear of how she'll respond. Do it FOR YOU.
 
And I'll leave with this. But if you if you decide to part ways with this girl, realize that there are PLENTY of women out there that want the same thing that you do. Do not sacrifice your values for this girl thinking that you won't find anyone else. Because you certainly will....and you'll find someone who WILL happy to embrace your values and chase your goals WITH YOU. That's a far better deal than dealing with this silliness.
 
When I met my woman, I let her know from the very beginning what my plans were and what I expected. I ain't got time to play these wishy-washy games with anyone. I don't play any of that shit. Now at that point, it was up to her whether she wanted to join me or keep it moving. She decided to come along for the ride.
 
You don't have to tolerate anything that you don't want to. Don't sell yourself short.

Congrats!

bruh...i'm like 5 years behind LOL

i'm in no position to say what someone deserves, but also remember that everyone will eventually have a last band. i wouldn't wish to rush the end of one band on the hopes that another will rise from the ashes. i've been bit by that expectation a lot in my younger years. i would rather hope DIMLIM can pull it together again, get what they need, and keep rocking out.

went by quickly because we were in line and the coat check line after the show was a total wash

@Zeus I only skimmed through your blurb, so  you prompted me to listen to it again before writing mine. And yeah, it sounded sour.

When I went to the GazettE they forced us to line up due to demand. We'll see what Gramercy is like this time. There's not a lot going on around the area so if we have to line up it shouldn't be as chaotic as Times Square.

@Zeusit was tetsuya's last live, he's just called it quits for the band
