  1. i cannot tell you how satisfying it was to complain and actually see them do something about it the spotify thing is egregious imho but i am really curious why it happened - it seemed to be done without the band's knowledge since at least one of them was completely unaware ULTIMA never made it to spotify outside of japan and i've never seen the removals brought up. i wonder if this is also something worth complaining about to management (also noah fence but where have you been this whole quarantine where vk bands aren't charging for their streams? i've paid for zaiko streams with less than 10 people watching...)
  2. it's almost like there were 4 years of shows and a prior release that clearly set the tone of his solo performances under the "souen" title as being ballad covers with orchestral or piano arrangements 🗿 anyway as someone who was at the show in january the portion with the japanese instruments is sublime, glad to see it being preserved even though it seems he couldn't secure the licenses for all of the songs. ryuichi himself was in attendance for that forever & ever performance which is pretty wild @saiko https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq7e8rcgRzn/ - nakigara wo clip from dec 2018 i don't remember if there was an ain't afraid to die video but if i find it i'll come back

    @Komorebi was there a platform you didn't post this story? also i'm sorry i mistakenly thought you were older, and i'm not white, i'm white-passing metis. and in this retelling of the story you forgot to mention it was a poc mexican who called you out for saying "w*tback", not me, i just had the audacity to bring up the fact you never apologized to her for it. i want to move past this drama but considering you wallpapered this on every social media site while telling me not to harass you and crying because i didn't contact you directly when my private messages are wiiiide open....

    did you make the five star rating text just for me!!! anyway to drop the stan mask for a second my favorites are EROS, ALLERGIE, IN THIS ERA, ULTIMA, IDOL & ZINNIA. IN THIS ERA has been on repeat for a few hours, it's very melancholy but pleasant to me. tbh one problem i have was that ALLERGIE completely mopped the floor with any other heavy songs on the album. like i'm sure MACHINE is very fun live, but when listening to this as an album experience, there's not really any coming back after ALLERGIE. also i understand the vibe they were trying to achieve with EUREKA but i feel like PHOENIX already did it better... also shameless plug but i translated the lyrics.
  6. the album is good (better than XIII for me) but i think the comment about their diversity shining more in mid tempo and ballad songs remains true. ALLERGIE however is a p*ssy melter
  7. i feel like it'd be very hard for Akinori to get a visa to perform in some countries even tho i don't know the full details of his record lol

    @Tokage It's run by Reiko Arakawa who has close ties and does a lot of different work with aie, maco, ryo (DALLE/HOLLOWGRAM), emmuree, etc.

    last one looks like Kairi from Pisarro, although possibly from when he was in Siva?

    u get horny for muscles one time and then ppl come running to do a smear campaign on u SMH i probably have more involvement on stan vk twitter than the average poster here. overall i don't really mind intense fandom stuff, it's nice to see people care so much about what they love. but the described phenomenon of fans falling in love with their favs ("gachikoi" fans) is kind of the crux of bad fan behavior in vk in general, to me. people are simultaneously super judgmental (towards themselves and others) and super defensive about the potential that they might have actual feelings for their favorites. i feel like the advent of fanfiction, roleplay, etc. in the western fandom is probably sometimes related to young girls needing some outlet for these feelings (and sexuality in general but that's a whole nother can of worms). it's also i think what motivates some women to pull the "i'm a better fan" or "___ is a bad fan" thing -- they want to believe that they're worthy and others are not. stan culture is only fun when it's not competitive like that tbh.

    not to be late but since when did lynch./dgz have member drama lmao or is it just because people assumed Hazuki left on bad terms? lynch.'s XIII is weirdly "homage heavy", some declared (OBVIOUS and Heretic Anthem, JOKER and The Beautiful People/LUNA SEA's MY LOVER), some undeclared (the above, JOKER & that Mega Man song)... they did do a similar thing with SCARLET and quarter life as well but they really leaned into that self-reference, even the lyrics are complementary.

    they made an official twitter which is making me get ahead of myself and hoping this is going to be more than one show

    press F for yukino tbh
  14. the official statement is harsh, but the member comments speak about Qs quite fondly. i get the feeling that whatever happened is strictly a management vs. Qs thing.

    the closest thing i've ever heard to a full X JAPAN song is a cover by an idolm@ster girl i saw one of my favorite bandmen on a date in public and hid behind a clothing rack so he wouldn't notice me

    you did the right thing
  18. @Furik 縄, R指定 were Gara (Merry) and Ryou (Baroque) アイドル狂いの心裏学 was Haru (Dog in the PWO) and Lime (Kizu) リストカッター was Show (A9), Gara, Ryou 夕暮れの謝罪 was Gara, Ryou, Show, Haru, Lime & Tatsurou (MUCC)
  19. どんぶらこ / donburako = something heavy-ish bobbing and floating in the water (e.g. a peach) (it was also the name of an old song from an operetta about Momotaro, and a few more modern songs (some of which are also about Momotaro), and one of Doraemon's magical tools... but if it's referencing any of those there's no way to tell right now)

    rhythm section and hazuki look good bc hazuki looks good in everything but guitars... have looked infinitely better anyway they also announced a photo exhibition and two concept tours: UNDEAD SOULS #2 (to complement and expand on last year's UNDEAD SOULS, a very interesting tour where they played every song in their discography) and a hall tour with a title that suggests future blu-ray for sure, HALL TOUR’19 <Xlll-THE LEAVE SCARS ON FILM->

  22. cvltic

    this is some deep shade on tzk

    he said in so many words that he wanted to do music only until age 22, and that he feels a behind-the-scenes job suits him more than one on stage. so he's not considering doing any more music activities. why would you let this dude in your band if he was already developing an exit plan, idgi
