This just screams blandness. Already calling that the PV will be in tasteless 60 FPS, compensating for a lack of cinematography with shitty effects and taking place in a random warehouse #3206 (since all the other ones were used by lynch. in the past and we have to keep it slightly original). ...yeah and don't forget the synths, the trebliest synth samples with the lowest bitrate they can find.

Lets just be honest,If TODAY were Chiaki's solo album or his side project, everyone here would be loving it.That album was pretty decent,not a total disaster like 8P-SB...just not the mad DEZERT we know. Let's see if they plan to please the old school fans with this one

Gu.薫 (Kaoru) is ex-Berry-->Larme'-->Envus-->jubily-->HOLYCLOCK and Gu.蓮 (Ren) is ex-Noisy Panic-->DELUCIDE (support)

cd cover revealed and its fucking sick

omg a Zayn stan maybe? the other names are practically this meme in VK form:

As much as I stan them, their names make me super embarrassed, especially Ricko's, which in Spanish is read as "rico" and means "tasty", but in Chilean Spanish it's also an adjective for a hot dude (but like, Hollywood type, not VK type of hot). I gotta ask Boogie about his, cuz it really gives me second hand embarrassment to say out loud.

I remember seeing some concert footage from around the time they'd recently returned from their hiatus and it felt like half of the music was done with backing tracks, nowadays they occasionally seem to drag in actual saxophone players and that kinda stuff right? Also... RANK THOSE ALBUMS MOTHERFUCKAS! I think my personal top 5 is probably something like Dai 6 -> Dai 7 -> Dai 5 -> =/= -> Saikyouiku Migi/Hidari I'd say 1 (the mini w/ the remakes of the noise rock songs) is probably at the very bottom for me, that one was totally unnecessary and didn't really add anything at all to any of those songs as far as I'm concerned.

this honestly does scream 'band that kaisans within a year' on all fronts

While mot VK og Japanese at all, there's already bands named both Yersinia Pestid and E.Coli. Heh. Really like Yersinia Pestis as a name. Awesome bandname!

I just got a new job, a job that I wanted, that I was so excited for, and was SO worried that I bombed the interview. Turns out, I ACED it, and they're super excited to have me on board! And I'm so excited to be working after being unemployed for almost three months. It has been a long couple months, but I am kind of glad my old job let me go, since I now have a job that I want, and wouldn't have really pursued it otherwise.

Fuck China. It is a beautiful country (geographically) and I would kinda like to see those mountains and rivers and historical buildings in person, but I am not setting foot there while it's a communist dictatorship. Besides that, since Canada arrested the Huawei lady, I run the risk of being arrested/tortured/executed for being a spy. Also, I don't really understand how this happened, but my mother, who grew up in China and had her family's property and assets confiscated during the Great Leap Forward and had to escape illegally to Hong Kong, is still extremely patriotic to China and Mao Zedong. Every time the news mentions the Huawei situation, she starts ranting about how Canada is stupid for arresting her, and China is justified in arresting those Canadians. I've explained "extradition treaty" to her 3 times but she doesn't understand. (She's also very happy Xi Jinping has become supreme leader or whatever, and thinks it's totally fine that Chinese citizens who criticize the government get jailed and worse) By the way, go look up what's happening in Xinjiang province with the Uyghurs (and other minorities). Disgusting and abhorrent. Fuck China.

Sweet look but I still just remember them as the band that "passed" Gas

キズ (Kizu) will release their 6th single "平成" (Heisei) on 2019.3.19, it will comes in two types (1,620yen, 3songs each).

Forever hooked on this song.

I always called them "the micro head four en es" I feel SOOOO stupid now.

I like 14 much more than 13. It was a bit hard for me to get into 13 but got into 14 instantly. Felt much more like the cali≠gari I like. Liked 12 more as well.

Dont want to derail the thread but just to clarify Issei as a musician is wonderful, super talented. But as a person hes extremely rude and super egocentric. He reached out to one of our members on here on twitter and called them out for posting a meme about him. He started swearing and proceeded to insult in DMs. Theres a lot more hes done in the past but lets not get into that. The album is on mercari for 10,000+ yen im thinking about it lol. But now this ughh i dont want to have to spend so much on every release especiallly after hearing what the basist had to say some time ago.

Thanks for creating this thread. I'm an avid fan of cali gari and have been attending their concerts every year since they came back in 2010 but I couldn't really get into '14' as well. The songs were ok-ish in general but there were no striking songs like '色悪' (13) or fist punching songs like '紅麗死異愛羅武勇' (12). I already bought the ticket for the '14' tour final but still considering whether to make the trip or not (cos I got no lives to attend on 21st Mar haha) Here's the setlist from yesterday (curiously missing '月白' from 14): cali≠gari 2019.01.14 本八幡Route Fourteen cali≠gari 25th Caliversary”1993-2019″ TOUR 14 -The time is out of joint- SET LIST（セットリスト） 01.カメラオブスキュラ 02.ゼロサムゲーム 03.マシンガンララバイ 04.キル 05.トイレでGO! 06.トカゲのロミオ 07.オーバーナイトハイキング 08.動くな!死ね!甦れ! 09.コバルト 10.拝啓=BGM 11.天国で待ってる 12.ファニソン 13.淫美まるでカオスな 14.マッキーナ 15.飛燕騒曲 16.-187- 17.火葬遊戯 18.死は眠りを散歩する EN 01.冬の日 02.ラストダンス 03.ブルーフィルム 04.いつか花は咲くだろう

4 = フォ。 headphone = ヘッドフォーン。 Let me know when you see it.

yikes.... I've noticed that many Western intellectuals and philosophers of today seem to practically worship IQ/the intellect. I've also noticed that many of them cannot see the forest for the trees.

I'm not sure I have a main, as I am pretty casual still. But if I was forced to pick, I would say it's between Lucina, Zero Suit Samus, and King K. Rool.

Glad they got rid of those stupid boxes, but man that look is generic. Very underwhelming. Definitely kills the mystery gimmick they were going for.

I can't be the only one who misread the topic as "meatbeat"...

Good shit and stoked for future releases. Genuinely old school sound unlike most of these bands just playing nu-metal and deg songs in frilly clothes and hair. I think improvements could be made with some production choices/limitations and with Karma's performance, but considering that it's a band of nobodies with most likely zero budget in the dog eat dog host world of vk in 2019, it's fucking great and not for poseurs

hi there!

It’ll be good but not Nocturnal Bloodlust good I bet.

I actually never clicked on last year's thread so I didn't know this was a thing. Sounds nice, I'll keep tabs this year for sure. Adding a non-Japanese section too, just to keep track of things...

its so hard to give a shit about this band considering they have only live limited shit so far and issei

NOOOO im gonna miss savage so much

Hopefully I can keep it up for this year, but I surely won't listen to many bands, but here is what I listen too. Kousai Ravel - Mousou Rabbit (I still think that the vocalist isn't a good vocalist, but musically they are alright) i.D.A - 神話双星記 (I prefer i.D.A above NETH) NETH PRIER CAIN - 神話双星記 蘭図 (Rands) - Inferiority Complex & Narcissism It's listenable, nothing special, lot's of looping melody, it's smooth, that's all, but 100% not a WOW thing.

10 years is a very good run, honestly I never thought they woud last that long. I'm happy I got to see them live last year, Ryuuka is definitely not the best singer in the scene but I hope he will continue in a new project!

Fuck yeah. A legit band stuck in the BP Limbo with all the potential in the world.

I'll try it too this year if i don't forget halfway through

"Trust me, I'm a photographer"

ayyyyyy, long time no see

ABOUT TIME THEY DROPPED A LIVE DVD. YES.

Sugar or dry

It would be great if everyone was dressed in some form of lolita fashion for this.
