me when there's drama

Excuse me, but this isn't the "Best Jrock CD Cover" thread.

Covers for both versions are the same thoughts on this masterpiece ?? lol

this is so fucking great, how did shape shifter even happen

Yo peeps. I wanted to talk about an issue that's very dear to my heart, and that's called planning a family, or a lack of it. Just like the title says. At my age, most women (and possibly also men) are, if not already totally at it, at least planning for their own family. You know. Husband, kids, golden retriever, stuff like that. Most women have silently agreed to have children, even if they don't particularly want them, just because society thinks they should. I stand at the other side of the whole concept: I don't want kids. Ever. I've been told ever since I was a tot that I'll change my mind and when I'm older I'll understand the need to have children. Bitch, I'm older now and still don't want any. In fact, I would gladly have my tubes tied into one hell of a knot to ever avoid even considering the idea that I might be with a child. The idea of pregnancy scares me. The idea of childbirth scares me. I don't like kids. I don't think babies are cute, not in the least. In fact, I believe children up to the age of 10 are, at best, a bore, and at worst, horrible spawns of satan I want nowhere near me. And yet, medical specialists argue I'm too young (nearing 30 here) to decide if I want kids or not, so they won't perform a sterilisation. Yo, people can decide on a sex correction surgery once they turn 18 but I'm not old enough to know I hate kids and don't want any. And I'm not saying this to mock anyone or say that transgender people shouldn't have the option to do that, but just that both are a part of body autonomy that I think one should have the right to rule over after a certain age. Are there other people who feel the same way as I do? Ladies and gents who just don't want kids, no matter what? Or people who want them but can't have them? Tell me your thoughts and give us some peer support.

new band "ABOO" has formed and they will hold their first live on December 8 at Ikebukuro EDGE. [lineup] Vo.杏 (anzu) (ex-零流 → マルル(maruru) → DOWNER → AYABIE (support)) Gt.Toy (ex- 三毛猫ドクロック (Mikeneko dokurokku) → スナフキン (snufkin)) Ba.まろ (maro) (ex-canary → Objet De Neige → Honey Killer → ノア (noa) → w/c同盟 → 【_Vani;lla】 → L&DS → 週末ディストーション) Dr.じゃり (jerry) (ex-REALies)

Pretty sure the "ass" is in reference to a donkey (ie, jackass, etc.) It's like the saying "the wolf in sheep's clothing".

@-NOVA-lol just add them to the list HAHAHA

I like these guys, but they can't seem to figure out what they want to be. 1st single: sort of symphonic/typical VK. 2nd single: Japanese traditional. 3rd single: Menhera.

Plus, making an extra thread would most likely cause confusion and the threads will have to be merged anyway. So just adding a new reply is a timesaver really~ As for band info, that can easily be found by googling the band and finding stuff on vkdb, Wikipedia, etc.

I was somewhat on the fence in my teens about not wanting children. I'm in my 30s now and over the years have gradually moved into the "never having kids" zone. The only exception being that should I ever change my mind (not likely but just entertaining the possibility) I would adopt. But, at this point I don't even want that. There are few j-guys that don't want kids, and my husband and I are both only children. The social pressure to have kids here is insane with the declining birthrate and all... Because of outside peer pressure sometimes my husband entertains the thought of having children, tho he pretty much reverts to "ah hell no" status the rare times we babysit for our friends' kids. He tires out easily and gets irritated when he doesn't get a full night's sleep and his free time is taken away from him, so I figure he'd get stressed/sick of parenting really fast. Also ultimately in Japan, the child rearing responsibility would fall fully on me, and so he doesn't try and force that burden on me knowing I'm not interested. However, we discussed all of this before marriage, and still check in that we're on the same page from time to time. Reasons I don't want kids: - I just don't want them I actually like kids, but only in measured doses. I don't have a ton of free time as it is, and I know I would be miserable having to give that up for someone else. I also enjoy having the freedom to travel, going to lives, go out with friends, etc. with what little free time I do have, and that would be hard to do with kids since babysitting (like calling a babysitter) is an foreign concept to most Japanese people and the in-laws don't live nearby. My (girl)friends with kids hardly ever go out, hardly ever have any time away from their kids alone with their husbands, never have time to care for themselves, their houses are always a mess, and it just feels like they live the same day over and over. Their roles are limited to "mommy". Also they hardly ever sleep and look tired all the time. I mean they're happy so I'm happy for them, but it's just not the life for me. My husband and I have two cats. They provide the same cuteness and affection and are only a fraction of the work. - They're expensive I would have to work completely from home (instead of partly), and even then for the first couple of years childcare is pretty much a full time job in itself, so I doubt I'd get much done. My husband doesn't make enough money for me to quit my job. (Thanks crippling student loan debt D: ) - Overpopulation This is the biggest one, even if we did actually want kids. There are already too many people on the planet and we're killing it. The way things are going, it's unlikely the earth won't succumb to global warming or war over lack of resources before any potential kids would grow old and pass on. I couldn't have them knowing that, just for vanity's sake of having a mini me or two running around. Deciding not to have kids is frustrating because most doctors will refuse to tie your tubes or do anything permanent if you're young and/or haven't had kids yet, because they always assume you will change your mind.

Haha thanks for watching @The Reverend& @-NOVA-

ur all tripping this 100% original br00tal masterpiece is the salvation visual kei needs.

I don’t think you’re understanding me. Spirit tried to sue Led Zeppelin because the chord progression from “Stairway to Heaven” sounded similar to a song called “Taurus”. This is over 40 years after both songs were released. I’m not talking about artists sounding similar to other artists, I’m talking about artists literally stealing songs from other artists. “Kannou to Paradox” is “Toguro” and “Uso no mamireta...” is straight up “Ware, Yami Tote.” And if you want to get away from Sadie, “Chainsaw” sounds like “Child Prey.” But whatever, it’s fine. DEG used to rip off Luna Sea all the time. I think the point here is don’t act like Sadie/Thirteen/Mao are somehow absolved from it just because you’re a fan.

I'm going to buck the trend in this topic and say I do! But not right now. I never thought to ask my girlfriend if she wanted kids, partially because I didn't want them now either and partially because I just expected her to. The latter part sounds messed up, but I can't do it alone. If I could, this would be a totally different conversation. It's always been "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it", but bridges are euphemisms for problems so at some level, I view childbearing as a problem too. So I guess I fit in here enough to ramble for a bit longer. The reasons I have for that aren't unique. I'm depressed and probably have an undiagnosed mental illness I'd pass on to my children. The world sucks. I don't want to wake up one day and hear the news that my child was killed for being black. I like video games too much. I'd have to be responsible with my weed usage. I like having money for things instead of money for diapers and formula. My opinions on most of these things may change with time and that's why I can't say no. @The Bread Wolf, maybe the doctors are approaching your problem the way I approach mine and are just deciding for you that in the future you may change your mind and so they don't want to do an invasive procedure now. That's fucked. But as you said, people have far more invasive surgeries for less developed reasons, so the docs should just respect your wishes. And if passing on your genetics isn't of importance to you, you can always adopt or raise fur babies if you change your mind. I believe one can fulfill the need to be a caretaker without having to have babies. I don't think the concept of not wanting to have kids is unusual. Starting with the toll it takes on the woman's body, coming to the realization that birth is really just the beginning, and then shouldering the responsibility of having to raise another human being is a lot. My friend is having a(n unplanned) child and when he told me, it hit me. I started thinking about all the things I'd have to do and how much my life would change, and it was a daunting realization. I can't imagine the thoughts that go through a woman's head, but one thought that won't leave my head is how lucky I am that I won't ever have to push a cantaloupe out of my pelvis. Maybe the cognitive burden would be less if women didn't feel forced into having a baby (but I'd blame biology before society on that one). If you can come to that realization now, and determine your life is better without a kid than with a kid now and into the immediate future, than more power to you! On a more global note, I think our generation not wanting to procreate en masse isn't a bad thing. We don't have the resources to sustain our current population as is; the last thing we need to do is double it. Honestly, the only argument I have for you having kids is to power the next generation of visual kei fans. Get them while they're young, I always say.

Ahh, I'm jealous! I really need to go back to Japan soon. And I second Merry's fans being the absolute sweetest, much like the band members themselves.

More to come yesterday was amazing, yet again. Setlist was really cool. Seriously, go see MERRY at least once in your life. [human farm], T.O.P, バイオハレ、ジャパモダ、窓 (yea‼️）、躊躇いシャッフル (！！！)。And we got 2 extra songs because the crowd didn’t stop singing. We got Happy life and F.J.P twice. Which was cool because ガラ had technical problems with his mic during the first Happy life. He also forgot the lyrics to MASS CONTROL ( at 奈良, he forgot エムオロギー). Adorable. And MERRY’s fan base is friendly as fuck! Holy shit, those girls are amazing. now, I’m off to Tokyo to catch them again with BAROQUE (yeahhh!!)

He left the band in July.

So is AllS (f.k.a. ALSDEAD) not vk anymore?

Their drawing skills improved. From their Alien doodle on Saikou no Shokutaku to this lol I love it

ROTFL the DIRU/kyo cult at it again. How much money do guys make discrediting other music. I guess cause grieva is dying and Rentrer en soi is dead so you guys been stalking the thirteen for a straw you can grab. And i stress the word "STRAW," as it seems you already know your off base here with agree that this is their main stream instrumental and their chorus but you gotta grab something right? but the way you phrase it with "maaan, I can't help but think about DEG" is straight up subjective, something your brain could have easily conjured up to keep Kyo elevated in stature. Plus going on like that, your so called "beef" is with "Mao" and you thinking about your god "Kyo." Not the bands. Furthermore you dig yourself deeper by saying "constantly trying to emulate him." "constantly?" So Mao does have his own thing and isnt "always" "emulating" kyo in his "10-year old career?" or is he always? Cause if so ima need a whole thread of Mao disco with every track and the Kyo track he is referencing. And even if what you are saying is true which im certain isnt considering how post undead 13+2 is hated and how commercial/MainstreamVK Mao's bands can get with Sadie's Redline, ever, daydream rain fall, Setsugekka (雪月花), The Gazette toying, and sadie's last album "Gangster" which continued on to be The Thirteen's Disco up to this EP, lets talk about Kyo. Are you not being a hypocrite? Kyo nor DEG is original for that matter. They copied Kuroyume, Luna Sea, BMTH, ECT. Kyo is definitely ripping of and failing at False chord which he stole from some western band along with those fry screams. Also on his Journey to be a Western Metal influence he copied their hair cut as well as fashion with the leather jackets and stuff. I would bring up marilyn manson but idk the timeline for his video's and Music VS Visual Kai's. but you get the point im trying to make with "plenty of minor details." Edit: back to the thread, if your not going to make it can you or atleast tell me if these are kyo byproducts WITH RECIEPTS PLEASE those are my fav for singing. Are you not familiar with Western music? Everything Trap, Mumble rap, all the females sounding the same and still on the charts? Anyway people need to get over sadie (The Thirteen is sadie[gangster]) wiping there asses with diru over the years and completely body them on bleach with Oboreru Sakana and Voice of pain remaster versions and not be mad the moved on to new greatness beyond upgrading like baby go for it.

Are we really getting hype over some cowbell?

^ its just one "B-side" because the first song "injury" is just an SE. but imo the 2nd song is also very good! 2 short screaming sections and well sounds pretty good imo. i guess if you liked PLEDGE you should also enjoy the 2nd song - although don't expect such a sick breadkown like in PLEDGE cuz in the 2nd song there is none...

I banned myself from listening to vkei on public transportation because of this.

Three weeks and this LDR will become much, much shorter. As in same apartment. DD:

Dragging up this old topic. D: I dated my husband for a year, and then I had to move back to the U.S. to graduate so we we did a year and a half long distance while I was studying and looking for employment in Japan. Then we moved in together and got married. We've been together over 12 years. Not gonna lie, the long distance part was really hard. We almost broke up a few times because our ways of dealing with the relationship was different... For my husband it was easier to try not to think about me and not text or write so he didn't have to deal with feeling lonely and for me I wanted more contact to ease the loneliness, so we fought sometimes about that. But having gone through that, it has certainly made us more appreciative of our relationship and we don't take our time together for granted.

ロクダマカルタ eu adoro muito e gostaria só de dizer isto mesmo, bye.

I've given up on relationships for the most part. I'd much rather use my single time for casual dates, maybe play the field a bit while I can. Apart from that, I haven't dated anyone since a little over a year ago mainly because I tend to have a shitty taste in dudes. Most of the guys I've dated or even found attractive, period, have turned out to be assholes, and most of those times I've either failed to pick up on that or refused to acknowledge it. That and because most if not all of the dudes that become interested in me seem to think of me as a manic pixie dream girl. :/ It's depressing because I can hardly make/keep male friends without them catching feels.

There must be a duplicate thread, because I know these have been posted before. Anyway, my "fave" worst CD covers: Dear L'Novel - 罪と罰(Tsumi to Batsu) ViViD - Message Dear L'Novel's is one of the few albums that I truly enjoy but refuse to buy, because the album art would haunt me. And yet, the ViViD one is somehow worse, because they were actually a major band. Can you imagine who designed these covers and thought "Yup, these are good to go!"
