Hakoniwa

Loving the grandma look!! It's like Horizont's Tatsurou got many years older... the glasses have also changed! :0 Jokes aside, I have no idea what to expect from this album. I haven't been following them for some time now, though "Kowareta Piano to Living Dead" had me pleasantly surprised. MUCC is that band who would let me down a few times but I'll always keep one eye on them, I guess. Also, the release date is just a few days before my birthday! Hoping this can be a birthday present... I'm trying to understand when exactly this happened but cannot compute

oooh i saw that on twitter earlier today! I still haven't listened to all of this older albums and absolutely nothing from the HACHI era. I mean, idk....I'm still a little skeptical when it comes to vocaloid >_> (it's also called "blind prejudice"). Anyway, sounds interesting! LOSER was the first song I listened by him, I just accidently stumbled upon it on youtube and it was nice. Honestly, it just skipped to the next video automatically and I wasn't even in the mood for new music then, but I couldn't stop watching the video lol. that title though... haha yes, this is how you stop bootleg piracy. try googling it now!!

I'm late but I love the fact they played Yume no Machi on encore!! I love it when bands don't take themselves too seriously, I'm glad MUCC can still do this sort of thing. I dream of going on one of those nostalgia lives too, they all sound pretty amazing! Also Oyoge! Tayaki-kun!! <3 It kind of bothers me how we still don't have much info about the tribute album since that's the one I'm more hyped about! I love tribute albums and the artists participating make me even more interested! ...But I wish I knew what each of them they'll be coveringgg. I'm just so curious, it's killing me D: It was about time anyway. They always took part in other tribute albums so it's good when they're the ones being covered for a change!

It's crazy to think they were thinking about disbanding though..... I guess they want to try something new, other bands or solo projects? I'm glad they didn't, but this also means it could happen soon-ish ...or maybe not. idk, it's just weird to think about it.

We should have one of these for memes too, u know "The Meme that Defines Your Time on MH" ...why not

^ THIS. Before clicking the topic's title I was still unsure of what album could clearly define this, but it became clear once I saw that. I remember how I was crazy about that album when I got here and everyone else seemed crazy about it too lol. It made me happy. But this was not the only one that reminds me of old TW, I remember how hyped I was about girugamesh's MUSIC too and even how the whole forum went crazy when Dir en grey released OUROBOROS, both were around the same time iirc. I especially remember I could hear Satoshi singing "Playstation NOW!" and "FOR OUROBOROS!" in Asking why... lol. I think that was the time I was most active around here.

I'm listening to it now and so far I really like what I hear! : D But that's really sudden, especially when you're late on your mixtape review...oops. haha Still, I gotta listen to this before they take it off soundcloud, and I'm thinking it'll be soon. Idk, I remember some other japanese band did that last year and I remember listening to the album on youtube, but I can't remember who it was........They only left it there for 24 hours, so I'm wondering if this will be the same. If anyone remembers, please let me know? Nevermind, I just remembered: It was Ivy to Fraudulent Game's 1st mini-album.

i really like HIZUMI and all, but I gotta say i love the new vocalist :0 it's also awesome how supportive HIZUMI is being on twitter even though he can't participate himself: https://twitter.com/hiz0302/status/848163999598247936 10 years is a long time indeed!! He sounds impressed...

Which leads me to a previous tweet of mine lmao Jokes apart, I do hope it'll become true this time! I don't consider myself a X fan, but I do respect them as a band and some of the new songs are pretty good! Also it feels like we've been waiting for the longest time...

Coming Soon [is Dead]........what. TK is currently on a project with syrup16g Pierre Nakano is working with NoGoD's Danchou Maybe they mean "coming later" instead. XD

I was surprised when doe mentioned it too lolol I thought I didn't remember most people but it's also because I can't keep up with nickname changes... I couldn't keep up then, can't now. XD I was always Hakoniwa, though people used to call me Hako back then when I was...actually active lol. But I had many avatars and signatures... I don't remember most of them, but my Photobucket is still active and IT remembers some. The ones I remember having used here are: I think this is it... maybe there's more that I didn't upload on PB, but I honestly can't remember >_> I thought I had a Satoshi one but maybe not? lol

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you're here!!!!! Gosh, reading your post was like traveling back in time lol I couldn't remember a lot of the things you mentioned!! We've had a lot of chats, huh XD And that's right, I remember I used to lurk around Tonberry for a long time and when I had decided to start participating for real, it was over haha. Aaand then TW came up on invisionfree, right? (everyone used invisionfree those days lol) I've been here for a long time and it's weird how things/people changed but it's still a nice place to be. Back then, even though I registered to the forum, it took me a long time to stop lurking and start participating for real, and it's basically the same as it's happening now since I came back and still feel kind of lost lol. So many people left and so many new people came! Some of those you mentioned, for example. Man. It's been too long... and there was always a lot of drama hahahahaha it makes me wonder where everyone is! These days I don't keep in touch with most people from then and it's really a shame. Well, mostly. XD But I'm really glad I could enjoy the forum then and still can now. So thank you for all! And most of all, thank you for still being here - I know very well how hard it is to keep a forum, especially nowadays, and I can't imagine how harder it is for such a large, English-language forum, with people from literally all places on Earth. So seriously, CONGRATULATIONS. It's been awesome! Btw, doe, do you know about Nekkou? I was wondering about her the other day and no one I asked seemed to remember who she was, but I'm sure you do. XD

About Suiyoubi's Ikkyu-san... I've been hearing a lot about that song lately and even though I hadn't listened to it yet (not before now), I was always asking myself if this song's title has anything to do with tricot's vocalist Ikkyu Nakajima... Just because I don't know anyone else with that name and well, they're both famous so maybe? lol idk maybe trying to understand the lyrics would help XD ...maybe it just means "193" õ_õ nice song anyway!

Meu ingresso geralmente custa mais porque tem a passagem de avião embutida :< Eu moro numa cidade do interior da Bahia, divisa com Pernambuco. Então não é sempre que dá pra ir pra São Paulo e afins :/

I actually think Cassis and Reila are a must for a *ballads* album... I'd find it weird if they weren't there. They may be "overrated" and all, but they were huge hits back then. I gotta say I'm not a huge fan of their ballads like...Guren, but I'm glad to find some I like on that list, like D.L.N.! I'm curious about the re-recorded versions anyway, so I might grab this when it comes out.

Ahh entendi! Que chato :/ Você mora onde? Porque dependendo, vai que eles aproveitam e passam por perto também haha. Depois do anúncio do show no Brasil, saiu também um anúncio sobre a ida deles ao México! Vai ser antes daqui, o que eu acho ÓTIMO pra não ter muito jetlag no nosso show hahaha mas né, é incrível pensar que esse é só o segundo anúncio de show da banda fora do circuito asiático... antes disso, eles só fizeram uma turnê nos Estados Unidos em 2004! Faz muito tempo. É bem capaz de acabarem anunciando outros lugares logo também, eu vi que uma compania do Chile parece interessada... Ahhh e vai ter Meet & Greet! Já tô pobre só de pensar HAHAHA Minha amiga também tá esperando eles aqui por 15 ANOS e aí ela vai sair do país bem pertinho da data do show... e não vai poder ir. :< Mas vamos ver, aqui talvez saiam uns anúncios interessantes mais tarde, espero que não seja o mesmo de sempre... mas se for nem ligo, DoAs já tá vindo, não ligo mais pra nada haha =D

SIM. <3 Loucura, né? Mas que pena que não pode ir! Não tem jeito mesmo? :< Eu vou atravessar meio país pra ir mas vou... não posso deixar isso passar na minha vida. É loucura pensar que isso é verdade, mas é verdade sim! O que vai ter de otaku das antigas na AF esse ano... hahahah

Yep.

Mas... Mas é claro que vale a pena XD Eu gosto de ver ao vivo as bandas/artistas que eu gosto, ainda mais por ser algo tão raro de se acontecer... E depois de tanto tempo é estranho que isso esteja acontecendo por 3 anos consecutivos, já que ano passado fui no melhor concerto da minha vida quando minha pianista favorita veio pro Brasil <3 Mas né, só é chato ser em evento de anime e tals, mas ainda assim vai ser um show "de verdade"... Então eu tô bem feliz. O que não tô sabendo lidar é essa coisa de ver a banda pela qual eu era completamente obcecada na adolescência vir pra cá assim... do nada. Eu já estava convencida de que ia ter que ir no Japão ver eles, porque era improvável pra caramba, mas aí anunciam isso haha. Me parece que vou ser forçada a ir na AF esse ano, vejam só!

The itty-bitty tiny prince!! <3 Those are nice~ : D I've messed with charcoal in my frawing class too and it's sooo difficult at first, it feels completely different when you're used to pencils and it takes a while to get used to it... but I really like playing around with it, though it gets really messy if you don't set the paper vertically since your hand keeps brushing over it lol... Man, I miss those classes. :< Sometimes I think I should create one of these topics too, but at the same time idk... I don't think my stuff are very good. But sharing sounds fun anyway D: So keep sharing pls <3 haha

Eu sei que ninguém aqui deve gostar muito ( ) mas foi anunciado que minha banda favorita de todo o sempre vai fazer show aqui no Brasil em Julho (na AF, infelizmente) e eu não tô sabendo lidar muito bem com toda essa situação lol. Vocês não estão curiosos com os próximos anúncios? Eu sei que a Yamato tem trazido mais do mesmo™ há anos, o que faz com que eu geralmente dê uma certa ignorada nos eventos e anúncios no geral, mas dessa vez parece ser algo bombástico -- apesar que nada, absolutamente nada, será mais bombástico pra mim do que minha banda favorita por aqui. É.....
