    The history question --- most bands would be like "I do not.....look to my past......" But she was like "alright, so here's the thing" and then spewed out like 15 paragraphs lmao

    I've been in a mess of bands since I was like 15 or so (at least when it comes to recorded material - probably countless more that never really did much of anything). Was in this band for most of my teenage years/very early 20s (metalcore/post-hardcore, I guess?) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vONb1m3vF7M Started this band after that...(atmospheric screamo) - https://barrowband.bandcamp.com/ Played in these bands for a little while - https://officialweathered.bandcamp.com/ (shoegaze-influenced emo) https://youfolk.bandcamp.com/ (kinda psychedelic-influenced emo/alternative?) And now I'm in this band (chaotic metal/hardcore) - https://rottingindirt.bandcamp.com/ I definitely miss my younger days of touring and being kind of a careless idiot, but being older and more "stable" has its perks, too, I guess. Music has always been my most consistent outlet and the one thing I used to "define" myself for the better part of my life. I feel a bit more disconnected from it now, but being able to do anything at this point feels positive, whether it's recording new stuff or playing a random local show when time permits. Haven't really ever made any money off of it, at least not in any profitable capacity, so I can't much call it a career, but the length of my involvement with it sort of makes it feel like that.

    Cursed VK Images

    Now, cursed images are a hobby of mine. I collect them as best I can, and my favourite kind are without a doubt, cursed VK images. I even made a compilation video of all the ones I collected: There's just so many! So I figured, how about you? I was inspired to make a topic for cursed VK images after all the lovely posts we had back in the random thoughts thread. Do you have some cursed images in your stockpile to share? If so, I'd love to see them! I'll start off with the one I posted in the random thoughts thread a few days ago, as it's so cursed that I'm sad that it missed the video I also found some more of this cursed pairing just now! ^Now that's spicy

    Man, I can deal with people acting a little childish but I've had to put up with the most immature motherfuckers on the face of the earth lately. It's like my life has to go their way or the highway. Whatever, fuck them, I guess. I just wish they'd leave me the fuck alone and stop prying into my personal goings-on so my life didn't feel like some little kid's bedtime story.

    I found it already on Facebook!!!!!!!! I'd say your career is as legit as say nazares, even if your budget and audience are smaller, you make alot of good quality content and have many albums under your belt, in fact I was thinking of asking if you were lying about being on the bands, it's pretty insane and a career isn't really validated by economic success I believe. Just so you know I will be rocking your ep for some time this quarantine, so you made me very happy and I think you can make many others happy too, you have power

    Thank you so much for listening and for the kind words! I have no clue where that EP even exists, if I'm being honest (I don't even know who the person who put it on YouTube is hahahaha), but if I ever track it down I'll gladly let you know when it hits the web. Thanks again!!

    It's going to be an entire webstore identical (with some exclusive overseas only items) to the webstore that just opened tonight: https://www.dimer-tokyo.com so it will not be a proxy/third party site but rather you will be buying directly from the guys. My company will be handling the order processing, shipping, promotion and advising on what items to sell. Right now shipping is blocked from Japan to most countries so we're awaiting for that to lift and we will open a dedicated webstore, in English.

    Thanks for the links. Not gonna lie I admire your work alot and I'm looking for a rip of your first ep, it sounds amazing. I'm also gonna listen to your latest band for a while because I can't decide whether or not to support you

    When I was 15 me and some friends from school would hire a studio on weekends and jam. I played bass back then and I also performed at the Japanese summer fest at school with another friend who played guitar and this girl who could fluently sing in Japanese. It was all for fun, I'm not one bit musically talented

    I have my own little solo project and work on some other projects here and there. My first studio-recorded album is basically done and sits unreleased in a folder on my pc.

    I was in a few local bands and some of our sets got decent turnouts (bare in mind we lived in a small city) but I was always late to join bands so I could never really make their sound my own. The best group I was in was called 'Flock North' and we played political fuelled rock...I had no interest in politics so it was a bit like how The Smiths sang about meat being murder but Morrisey was the only vegetarian. As for now I'm a small time hobbyist producing lofi hip hop and Breakcore although I did have a breakcore track released on a compilation a few years ago which is my crowning achievement. I'm trying to incorporate VK somehow but I'm still finding the best way to do it.

    From 2007 to 2011 I played guitar in the band Dark Cherry, formed by a group of friends. We made kinda poppy emo/alternative rock/metal with electronic elements (implicitly influenced a bit by D'espairsRay, Abingdon Boys School, L'Arc and stuff like that). Home-recorded a bunch of crappy sounding demos, studio-recorded two better sounding singles and played a few dozen gigs mostly locally, it was fun. From 2006 to this day I'm in a hobby/"just for fun" music project with my vocalist friend (who is also ex-Dark Cherry) under the alias The 21st Cherry Boys (the name came from BUCK-TICK's song, lol), or T21CB for short. We record stuff at home, in totally random styles that come to our mind at the moment. But usually it's some kind of silly weird pop/rock music coupled with electronics (for a while a friend of ours joined too, he played the cajon). We're doing a 12-month single release campaign this year, tho dunno how far we'll get due to the virus scare, lol. We also had a short-lived project Sunshine Demons with the guitarist cousin of said vocalist friend. We recorded an EP in 2012, kind of a mixture of punk, post-hardcore and pop-rock. We also have an album's worth of unreleased and mostly unfinished tracks recorded during 2018-2019, which we are slowwwwwly working on getting finalized. So far it seems like it will have somewhat of a Latin flair in the music, and it will be a concept record telling a story about cowboys, crime, ghosts, revenge,...stuff like that, lol. From 2007-ish onwards I'm also doing some solo stuff here and there under the name JigsawJohnny, but I'm super lazy so I haven't recorded that much music. Genres range from noise, industrial to hardcore, death metal, post-punk, whatever I feel like. My latest release was a dark ambient record with a dystopian cyberpunk concept last Halloween. Most of the music that isn't totally terrible to listen to for even those involved can be found on Bandcamp.

    Me and some friends are starting up one for fun called 紫苑/Shion. We only have a bassist, guitarist and violinist (me). So far we're just planning some covers to show our general skills, and when we have the remaining musicians needed for a real band we plan to actually do something.

    Kaoru's setlist is pretty traditional, imo. Toshiya's.... fucking moodswing. Zan->Zakuro for an encore? Really? Die had the best setlist for the real concert. Sense of flow, pretty energetic playlist. Tsumi to Batsu->Ranunculus still bothers, tho. But it's not that bad. Shinya... I guess I just don't like their visual stuff that much. But the bigger problem is that there is no flow. He just picked songs where he likes to bang (Uroko, Berry, Umbrella). I dunno, feel pretty wtf.
