Merry Christmas, everyone! Hoping you're having a good one!

After many years I finally managed to get a hold of a CD I've wanted to get a HQ rip of, only to find that the CD itself is mastered from mp3 files and my brand new FLAC rip has almost exactly the same specs as the old 192kbps files available since time immemorial. Feels bad. 

Dab-e has disbanded. Ikebukuro chop will never recover from this loss. Trying to reach out to owner Kanon Matenrou for an official statement. But we all know in our hearts that visual kei is now dead.

Happy birthday!

To all VK fans in Germany - on Friday I'm DJing Visual Kei at the Kabuki RockStyle party in Bochum. Make sure to be there to listen to some awesome music and talk to me!

I just got to meet Yoshiki for a Q&A session and shake his hand. Sadly I wasn't allowed to ask my question about the new album though.

My nightclub was a huge success. It's an amazing experience to see a whole dance floor rocking out to visual kei music. There will be pictures.

Having one last all night karaoke tonight before leaving Japan tomorrow evening. Everyone who happens to be in Tokyo is invited!

Back in Osaka, tomorrow is the tour final. Attending the entire MACABRE tour has been quite the trip. 

Kaoru is blonde and wearing a long black dress. 90s vk is back.

Also kyos hair is now turquoise.

MACABRE tour starts in a few hours. Will report  afterwards. 

Androgynos day 2. Please pray with me for no more Sustain the Untruth.

They played Filth. And a bunch of expected tracks. Hoping for better tomorrow.

ANDROGYNOS  day 1 - expect some kind of report tonight.

DISH x emmuree x マルコ tonight. DISH and emmuree were excellent like always, now waiting on マルコ . Never heard them before so going into this blind. Interesting. 

Anyone else here attending ANDROGYNOS next week? Trying to get some gaijin together to do something afterwards.

Do we have any graphic designers here? I'm in need of someone who knows how to design a logo.

The meetup went excellent, thank you to everyone who attended, we had a lot of fun!

Headed to Helsinki for MH meetup with my man @Disposable and the awesome @hyura and various other great people. Hope to see all you finns tomorrow!

Happy birthday! I hope you have a great one. This forum is truly a better place thanks to your hard work.

Has the Girugamesh last live DVD been uploaded anywhere? Would be fun to see the live again.

The MH-meetup of myself and @Disposable just ended. Couple of days listening to rarez with a fellow connoisseur is always a good thing.

First Russian ambassador gets shot dead, and then a terrorist attack in Berlin... This day hasn't been good.

Other guys at Dir en grey shows suck. Why push and shove to get in front if you're only going to stand around like an idiot afterwards? lol. 

First of the two Shinkiba dates today, dreading the end of this tour like I never quite have before.
