    Can anyone translate what exactly this says? Is this the only place where it may be purchased?

    Series; Hellsing Ultimate Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Gankutsuou Wolf’s Rain Casshern Sins Movies; Vampire Hunter D (2000) Redline Juubee Ninpuuchou Arion Tibet Inu Monogatari Might have started watching around 2010, with the exception of children’s shows and whatever was dubbed on television here.

    Xbox One and 360, and a bit of 3DS here and there. Plan on getting the Switch Lite sometime this year.
  5. Japanese — Band: X Japan Album: Versailles - Jubilee Song: Gackt - Fragrance Universal — Band: KISS Album: Guns N’ Roses - Use Your Illusion II Song: Alice Cooper - Halo Of Flies No real choice on songs, there’s just too many good ones. These were simply the ones that popped up first.

    I don’t join if I don’t feel dedicated to the theme. I suppose a lot of people do... There’s not really a way to implement some harsher rules, is there? At least I don’t see it making sense on a free forum like this.

    Marvel hasn't done a good movie since X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) apart from the X-Men installment itself and Wolverine. The entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is pandering so heavily towards the millenial meme-generation with its constant usage of comic relief, 4th wall breaking and lightheartedness, and has little respect for the original comics. I'll take DC over Marvel any day.

    Depends on your political interests. I'm very right leaning and I personally cannot stand the average social justice warrior writer or actor for their individual spoutings of nonsense on Twitter. There's some I adore for the books they write or the roles they play, but if I'm seeing J.K. Rowling's incessant pressure of 'wE nEeDz InTeRrAcIaL mArRiAgEs FoR EvErYoNe' and 'HeRmIoNe ShOuLd Be A bLaCk MuSlIm LeSbIaN' she can go sod right off. Lovecraft is a different story. The guy was born in an entirely separate time from ours and you cannot compare the late 19th century / early 20th century to ours whatsoever. And for his writings; it's fiction. Get over it if Cthulhu has a distaste for the Chinese or whatever the fuck you can uncover from his warped words. The majority of people during those times were racists. For another thing, Antifa are actively looking to stir up drama where there isn't. If I remember correctly there have been at least five black metal bands in the past few months who haven't been able to finish their tours or been refused playtime during festivals and the like because these liberals think it's either necessary to threaten the venue or bands personally and thus gigs have been cancelled out of safety, or they've gotten the venues and / or municipalities to believe the bands have racist / national-socialist intentions whereas most black metal bands don't give a damn about political leanings and want to be left alone on the subject. It's just disgusting.
  9. Cute at most. The video is fun to watch and reminds me of the clips modern Glam metal bands do (I guess CHARGEEEEEE had a say in that, mostly). But yeah, the video is all they've got going for them which is unfortunate because this is such a strong lineup. Theme is too sugary for 'punk' and especially Rena's facemask look doesn't go well with the music.

    Kyo, he’s a runt. I could kill him with a pebble.

    幻想曲~Eternal Silence~ 2.0 Apart from the piano sitting a bit too loud on top of the mix, this is pretty good. Was waiting for the vocalist to belt out some growls but I’m glad he didn’t – we need more clean singing in 2019.

    People shouldn’t watch the dubbed version in the first place.
  13. Resurrecting this thread after some notes in random thoughts. I’ve always leaned so much towards sUBHUMAN rACE and in all honesty I think it might be my primary Skid Row album. Listening to this for the first time was an introductory experience with grittier music. ‘Into Another’, ‘Eileen’, ‘Breakin’ Down’ and the face smashing ‘Beat Yourself Blind’ are among favourites — the tone they set with this was just dark and heavy and I loved it.

    Jealous as hell here, Michael always skips the Netherlands. I did have the opportunity to see L.A. Guns with Phil and Tracii last year though! Still waiting for Sebastian to come back here too. He’s played close to me a few times but without me realising while my room used to basically bathe in Baz, obviously. I had the biggest crush on him. Skid Row... I don’t see it happening (Rachel please). Tom Keifer C̶i̶n̶d̶e̶r̶e̶l̶l̶a̶ is still on my wishlist, but a girl can dream. Would also love to see some bands like Poison or Ratt, but I doubt they’ll ever tour Europe.

    01. Not really. If you dread meeting your fans, then don’t. Don’t offer meet and greet packages or at least offer them specifically with the members who are interested so people still have the choice to greet a part of the group. 02. They shouldn’t have to specifically thank their individual fans, usually their behaviour tells you how grateful they are. 03. Definitely not. Music is first and foremost for yourself and any fans are a gift, I would say. 04. List of Japanese artists I’ve met: Kamijo, Kaya, Yoshiki, Satsuki + support band, Megaromania, NEGA, D, Black Line, BLOOD, Jupiter. All these artists were very generous towards their fans (perhaps with the exception of Kiwamu). Some may perceive these interactions as ‘awkward’ because of a language barrier (this I had especially with D, the first Japanese artists I’ve met, and I mumbled some unintelligible what-I-thought-was-Japanese to them, which was received with confused looks), another thing can be that the musicians stay in their role and for instance don’t talk or seem distant – I haven’t experienced this a lot except for with Kamijo, who is just... himself. I think Yoshiki was the most grateful and open toward meeting people; he even shushed security when they wanted to remove him from the fans because he wanted to make sure everyone had the opportunity to at least shake his hand. 05. There are always horrible people at lives. I’ve experienced hair pulling, scratching, kicking, etc. There are always the terrible squirmish girls around who act as if they are seeing literal gods, girls who completely break down or girls who are simply so fervent in their fanatic ways that they get aggressive with the artists (here in the Netherlands, Hizaki’s dress was ripped for example. I’ve heard about Mana’s clothes being torn too.)
  16. Anyone with MusicBee who knows how to fix track format from showing both 1 - 01? (Seen as in picture) 

    https://i.imgur.com/YLgmpQK.png

    I tried it with Edit > Preferences > Tags (2) > Fields: Configure Fields... > disc-track#format: but that doesn't seem to trigger anything. I could do it all manually but that would be a task

      colorful人生

      For the disc number, which is the preceding "1" in "1-01", just right click the column headers, click "Displayed Fields", remove "Disc-Track#" and add "Track#".

       

      *I misread the first question before editing so here's some extra stuff:

       

      If you wanted consistent track numbers you could drop all the folders w/ tracks into Mp3tag https://www.mp3tag.de/en/ and sort by track number. Shift click to select all the songs with "01" or any variation of one and change it to "1". You can do it with successive track numbers.

       

      You could also technically do it in Windows by searching all tracks with "mp3", include "#" in columns, sort by #, and change the number w/ right-click + properties. I much prefer doing it in Mp3tag though.

    Quite certain that you do not know my doctor as we're from entirely different continents. Quite certain you do not know me as anything else but whatever your assertation of me is and therefore cannot ascertain anything about my lasting mental improvements while taking Prozac. Quite certain that two to three weeks of feeling miserable from sudden and invasive drug-intake and your body being bombarded by chemicals does not equal to 'lasting negative side effects'. You read what you wish to read.
  18. Lestat

    The side effects are entirely normal. Anti-depressants are essentially harddrugs and are an invasive subject to your body and your body will fight them at first, you'll have to get used to them. When I first started Prozac I suffered from terrible migraines which I normally never had, fever-like convulsions, sweating excessively and generally feeling physically dreadful for three weeks or so. I don't generally understand the States' idea of prescription medicine since it seems like just about everyone can get them feeling the slighest cough coming up, but here anti-depressants are only prescribed by certified psychiatrists who know what they're talking about, and know the consequences of first time usage. If your doctor prepared you properly for what it's going to take to ride it out you should go with the process. It's not pretty at first but you should start feeling results after about two months or so.

    Player for non-Japanese music. Player for Japanese music. Still wanting to skin this, but it's fine for now.

    My favourite of theirs! I don't know if it's hated per se, but D's VAMPIRE SAGA is criminally underrated. I get most people prefer their older work, but this is the album that got me into the band and it's still my favourite.

    Best non-VK VK.

    I personally can’t say much for Toshiya; I have no clue what he has written for Dir en grey musically, but he is ultimately the better choice for the band. I can’t see them switching positions, say Toshiya in Phantasmagoria and Kisaki in Dir en grey for instance. Perhaps for the first two albums of the latter, but the more industrial and nu-metal styles Dir en grey later adopted aren’t for Kisaki. I have to agree on Kisaki, not merely out of bias but for his unmistakeable style of playing and composing. He has written an absolute bulk load of memorable music by himself – both for his own bands as well as others. Purely listening to it with a musical ear I would choose him, he has produced both quantity and quality alike in numbers most artists can’t lay a hand on. Notoriety aside, he’s a fantastic addition to Japanese rock as a whole and helped shape modern Visual kei like no other.
  23. https://paladinatl.bandcamp.com/album/ascension What the fuck. I'm only one track into this album and it's already blowing me away like nothing else. Super infectious speed / power metal with great shredding and original riffs. Vocals wallow between traditional cleans and classic death / thrash harsh timbres. I love how sometimes you just find one of those bands that are exactly what you've been searching for for ages. What does this remind me of? Some coked-up mix between Iron Maiden, Destruction, Nitro, Loudness, Iced Earth, Wolf and Gamma Ray but 10× faster.

    Pfffff. Second dog I had to bring away this month. This time the neighbour's who spent time with us too since he was a little pup. Poor things, poor things...
