    YuyoDrift got a reaction from Silverhawk33 in Sadie 真緒(mao) & 美月(mizuki) new unit "The THIRTEEN" new album "PANDEMIC" release   
    That's expecting a lot, since almost every band in the genre can never duplicate/want to duplicate their last work. Mao's Sadie was no different.
     
    I remember when GANGSTA released, everyone was bashing the hell out of the album (reading the name of the album even put some off) without so much as listening into why the band chose to  name it that, or incorporate a theme to the album as they listened to it.
     
    I enjoyed it, and my review of it years ago reflects that.
     
     
    You could same thing about Kyo's Sukekiyo. I feel it's DeG making music that DeG does not/cannot want to make (maybe just Kyo), perhaps to not change the theme of their music. I have no ill thoughts towards it, so long as Kyo is still the vocalist. I'm just enjoying the creativity. Sukekiyo and DeG sounds similar, but I'm not going to say it's the same thing.
     
    It's not really a personal attack, so much as some users taking a comment that could've been a simple "this is bad b/c so and so....", but instead it's more of a "Fuck Mao. Fuck Sadie. Fuck the VK scene. Fuck this shit." Just shows how easy it is for that someone to turn hot/cold so quick on artists/bands, and it makes you sound immature. Other times, some people are just cynical and like to troll. HARD. Got 'eeem.
     
    Does that mean I'm analyzing you, based on your (not you specifically) comments? Yeah, I am. Aren't you? Everyone on every forum does this.
     
    People can comment however they feel, but as you said, everyone is allowed to comment. Expect to have a discussion (or for those who take it offensively, an argument) about your comment if it goes against someone else. If you're too afraid/not up to do that, well, I won't be the first person to tell you that maybe comments are better said in other thread.

    Looks like I'm a few days late. 
     
    Nice to see everyone down each other's throats already. 
     
    I'd say that if Mao was never someone of interest to you, then news like this won't change that.
     
    So quit riding someone's nuts and go listen/follow something else.

    I'm surprised people aren't bored yet with making the same old deg comparisons.
     
    Kinda excited, hopefully the album shows some diversity in style and won't be all Sadie 2.0.

    YuyoDrift got a reaction from Seimeisen in Does VK do it for you anymore?   
    Don't say that. It makes me lose respect for people when they say that word. Not offending you, it's just easier to make words like that the last in your vocabulary.
     
    These newer gen VK artists, at this point in the scene, have the inspiration and influences by previous bands. What they do with all that, is up to them. You will hear the similarities perhaps in the way they play, but it's not an exact duplicate. Make sure you listen to them very carefully for those little spins they add to the sound, as a lot of us are quick to dismiss them.
     
    As for the majority that are "uninspired", keep in mind that VK scene is shitting out more bands than ever. It's up to us (even if we make up a small fraction) to make sure that those who aspire to be great, are noticed. Only flock to the bands that are in it to improve their skills and themselves, and not their image.
     
    It's a shame what happened to Shounenki, and I'm still pretty suprised that actually happened, as they were honestly good by today's VK standards.

    Don't even get me started on the ONE OK ROCK and DEG concerts I've been to recently. If it wasn't for the venues being so amazing (and the beer selection), I'd have a fit.
     
    I go to Lives to finally be in the same place as the band that I have mad respect for and to see/hear them with my own eyes/ears, in the comfort of my hometown.
     
    I dunno, I guess I'm just a calm person. I do respect the Japanese people enough to do as they do/ask, and honestly its beautiful seeing someone from overseas behave the way these bands do.
     
    It would be nice to go to a concert in japan and enjoy, from what I've heard from friends over there, one of the BEST concert experiences I will ever experience in my life.

    YuyoDrift got a reaction from emmny in VK and Kpop....why?   
    This is gonna be long as fuck, I apologize.
     
     
    Mom/Pop shops here in Chicago/Neighboring areas too, have made that same assumption.
     
    I've been on a VK CD hunting spree recently. Never have, but now I feel it's necessary.
     
    Kpop is taking over almost completely here, solely because its what's hot ( I REALLY blame that one korean artist with his catchy tune). Slowly, these shops have been introducing a Kpop section, and every month, the section becomes bigger. Meanwhile, they've stopped/slowed bringing in new Visual Kei Rock (Anime OST's for that matter too), and Japanese Items.
     
    I've asked 2 shop owners "hey, wtf is going on?" and their responses were pretty much:
    I've been asked by a # of people to start carrying some Kpop stuff It's really hurting my business if I don't start listening to their demands. People just don't buy the Japanese stuff anymore/right now From a business standpoint, I understand. Kpop will bring them in extra revenue right now. Yet, at what cost?
     
    Both shop owners (both Japanese) that I've asked say they despise Korean music and that they don't see the appeal (they claim that Japan has always had Pop Idols/Boy Bands), and that teens are pretty stupid (lol at least they're honest) because all these songs sound the same (no passion, vocalists are terrible (one even said that an artist she listened to sounded devoid of a soul lol)).
     
    That same shop owner even opened up a small section for similar Japanese (Jpop) artists to see if they could bring more variety (how considerate amirite?), but she says that they'd sell maybe 8-10 CDs that day. Apparently when she asked a customer if she needed any help in that section, the person asked "Is this Kpop?"
     
    IMO they see it as over-hyped to death crap they play repeatedly over the radio in S.Korea, brought to the U.S.A. They're not wrong, to an extent.
     
    I was fortunate enough to listen to the JRock/Jpop combo as a kid, so Kpop is not that terrible. Yet, I just don't see the appeal (sounds the same to me) of Kpop.
    My brother and his girlfriend are Kpop Stans and won't stfu about every hot release (they've been fans for years, before the Kpop wave here in the US), and they've told me that it's great that the music is easier to access.
    It's still better than Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, and whoever the fuck else (I stopped caring a few years ago), I guess.

    Not to bash on anyone, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that the few of you who say that beer is terrible either:
    Have never had a beer/ Not old enough to drink Threw up at some point from its consumption Very picky about tastes Drank/Continue to drink generic Lagers (i.e. Bud light, Corona, Budweiser, etc.) Aren't aware of the variety/types of beer out there Just like to bitch/moan about anything Only exclusion is Peffy, who clearly stated that it reminds her of bitter fruit from her childhood.
     
    Even then I'd still say that there are WAY more beers out there. You guys (who drink alcohol) do realize that there are types of beer out there that are combined with alcohol right (Known as Barrel Aged)? Some even come with Peach, Hibiscus, Strawberry, and so on in the beer.
     
    Quit drinking the wack shit and git gud with beer. Of course I know all this because I come from the city where it all started.
