When you put yourself out there as an artist of an kind , you're opening yourself up for criticism. That's just the way it is.

[Lestat 2167]

That's how it is, but you cannot expect from every artist worldwide that they can deal with continuous and pressuring criticism. The internet is a relentless platform, but it is unfortunately the only source of media where middle-class artists can present their work nowadays. You can't say that anyone who isn't emotionally capable of dealing with constant negativity flung towards them isn't allowed or deserving to become an artist of any kind. As I have said many times before; they are just people — not machines. These guys are emotional and feeling, you can't expect everyone to grow a skin as thick as concrete. I personally think they shouldn't have to, but that the public should simply be a bit nicer.

I can't tell what was more cringe inducing....the crowd size, how dead the crowd is or Jin's horrible vocals in the intro. 

 

The performances though were pretty raw. 

 

 

I loved what they did with "Hate yourself."

[emmny 4139]

FINALLY TBS LIVE FOOTAGE HELLS YEAH

 

edit: wtf is up with that venue/audience...was this performed at a studio or something where they asked just the saizen to come or did they play at an event where they were first off like wtf lol. im with stal lol it made them look real stupid considering they have a decent following smfh. their sound is also way too big for that venue i hate everything about this video wtf was up with the cymbals. ushinai was still epic </3

also what was the reason for leaving twitter (according to google translate) that was pretty fuckin vague

[Tokage 5930]

lmaooo that's some Maria Cross-tier audience there

wow, there is at least 10 people

[Aferni 2381]

[Elazmus 1873]

Ok like I get that jin is very off key in the intro, but that's not what bothers me... it's that he came out in a funeral shroud like Kyo and then tries to do the exact kind of Kyopera intro that kyo has been doing the past few years... idk like I KNOW jin is more creative than that..

Crowd size is depressing indeed

Ps I think he sounds quite strong for most of the songs though

[Lestat 2167]

It looks to me like those Cyber Circus events are all somewhat similar in crowd size? I saw the Fest Vainqueur video too and it was about the same amount of people while they're very popular.

You are correct, Cyber Circus events are small. They showed a VRZEL and ザアザア both less size or similar.

Sounds like some really vague "I want to focus on my music" reason to me. Someone with better skillz can translate.

[bluescat 11]

I've been dying to see some TBS live, but now that I did, I wish I could unsee it. That venue is absolutely terrible and the audience... Let's not even talk about audience.

I feel so bad for TBS to have to play there, they deserve so much better. : /

[Kiryu999 3336]

^ don't worry they're gonna play at TSUTAYA O-WEST soon

Aww, no XXX IN THE BOX

[Seimeisen 4406]

Yup, Type B it is! That transition from 失い to 赫音-finis- is gonna be magic! Type A tracklist looks kind of strange.

[Shaolan974 6185]

TYPE B will be mine too ! RECEPTRIX is an instrumental track btw

[emmny 4139]

i deleted all the old songs except the stripper remake off my itunes for dispersed, there's still too many here. like both the kagunes and ushinai is fine but i don't like the hopeless and stripper in the context of the other songs

still--IM SO EXCITED!!!

[Seimeisen 4406]

Trying to translate the paragraph of text on the album page. It looks like TYPE A's running time will be ~60 minutes, TYPE B's running time will be over 70 minutes, RECEPTRIX is supposedly going to be an intro track (but hopefully it's more than that), and 想白の季雪 is a ballad.

And apparently, both types have completely different tracklist arrangements because they want the listener to get two completely different impressions when listening to the album, and to set it apart from other "mere multiple type releases".

I used Google Translate, so this is probably 100% false.

Kind of agreeing with emmny, I think at least TYPE B could survive without THE HOPELESS and sTRIPPER.
