Barely putting put new stuff... Quitting after a few months... Just like a modern VK band! Okay, okay, I'm just messin' with you (and the industry) for the luls. But for real though, it's a shame that it turned out this way. I always liked your solid music taste, but hey, that's gonna be with you whether you're here or not. Considering how small this community is, I bet I'll see you again somewhere else. Have safe travels, good luck, and until next time!

Never give up on your dreams.

In my opinion, it's missing some flair. How about "Mega Homos of Monochrome Heaven"? I like the sound of it, it has some nice enunciation. If that's a little much, then the current name is just fine imo. I imagine that a more PC name would be like "MH Gay-straight alliance" or "The MH LGBTQ+ Club" and that just sounds boring and drab to me.

The Haunts . . I've got the haunts. And the only prescription is more pumpkins and ghosts and spooks and treats.

We will return from hiatus and with our regular store updates on Nov. 12th. The RarezHub box is on its way to our shipping hub in Germany, and shipping invoices will be sent out once it gets there. Thank you to everyone for your patience these past several weeks, and we have some great things planned for the rest of the year.

I'm sorry it's come to this. I totally get the shy thing, but you're always welcome to post whatever's on your mind ^^ But I do wish you the best and I hope you had a great time here. See you next time! ♥

Hahaha if only this happened that'd be amazing. Tbh it would probably do the band a favour if Retsu left, he seems to be getting all gassed up on "sadboi" music atm and seems to change what he likes all the time. Like I remember a live stream with him and Ryuya on instagram where he was blasting like Gojira in the background all the way through. Then later on insta questions said he "doesn't listen to that type of music anymore", then MISC happened and due to lack of activity it makes me wonder if he's losing interest in the rock/metal stuff completely. So who knows wtf is going to happen from here. Announcing a disbandment would probably make most sense, before DIMLIM turns into a sadboi rap trio. Though that could be lels....

I found this solo project threw Rabbi star tv youtube channel. Im going to assume and say that the drummer is Sato (Ex- Rabbistar and Mamireta) due to the following videos below. I dont speak Japanese but i managed to figure out this info by Chala's unique voice and visuals. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCofybhJivC1QpjPWSQ_Npw Twitter: https://twitter.com/chuo_yasu Line up: Vocalist CHALA NO EVACUATION → A.S.K. → AkaKU SoMATTA Kioku (紅ク染マッタ記憶) → GREED Guitar 有哉 escape from sorrow DRUMS Sato RABBI★STAR → ZAKLIA → Mummy → MAMIRETA support → MAMIRETA

Event postponed, 1.04～08. June 2021

whatever opinion you might have of retsu and dimlim it was definitely not ryuya/taishi that made their prior releases amazing either lol

Just some random COVID ramblings: I got pneumonia TWICE this year. TWICE and I was terrified both times it was COVID. Fortunately it was not and i've been tested for it three times and got the antibody test done too and it was negative. I've been so sick this year and I don't understand why. I rarely get sick. And there's no reason to be sick.. I literally don't do anything. Ever since COVID, my job has become permanently remote so I just work from home. I do go out to get groceries, maybe some clothing, recreational shopping every once in a while but I rarely come in contact with people if I don't have to. I am so over this year, the pandemic and the politics. I've lost three people close to me - my step-grandmother, my grandmother-in-law, and my brother-in-law's father. Some countries are doing so damn fine while there are some who are doing horribly worse since after lockdown. Why can't people just use their brains?! It's really not that hard. People fighting over masks. I don't care - just wear as mask. I don't care if they work as good as they do or not - better safe than sorry. People thinking COVID is a hoax. Then explain the 1.x million dead. People thinking COVID will just go away. It won't go away. It's not going to go away. We're almost at the ONE YEAR mark with this disease. It's changed our lives - how we act, how we do things outside of our homes, how we handle ourselves in public. For better or for worse. I'm still undecided about the vaccine. I honest to god don't think Trump got COVID. And I don't think he was given a vaccine. I think it was a ploy to publicly hype up getting a vaccine. Do I think the majority of his administration got COVID? Definitely. But last month just played out so weird for me. Anyway, just random thoughts. I just had to get stuff out of my head.

The other day, グリーヴァ pops out on my music playlist, and now I can not stop listening to them again.

This should be monochrome's comment of the year 2020. 😛

I have a racy question 😋 How do you say "horny" in Japanese? As in 'Japanese bodybuilders are always horny".

I don't think anyone here is aware, DIMLIM was 2nd place in the band division of a competition by Tunecore Japan and sponsored by PayNoah with Tom Smith of JPU records as one of the guest judges. From my understanding,the prize is the sponsor will pay some of the fee's and gives a right to the band to perform in a venue in the UK, the grand winner though gets an all expense paid live performance in the UK that will be awarded hopefully next year. https://magazine.tunecore.co.jp/news/76397/ From JPU's site https://jpurecords.com/blogs/news/iken-no-uk-winners So how is it a downward spiral when the band is getting positive attention outside Japan? MISC is a great album and they finally shed their D.I.D and Diru clone tag and Sho stopped trying to be Kyo 2.0. Retsu leaving Dimlim equals to the band disbanding and a high possibility Sho retires from music. Reading their JaMe interview everyone is into the new music of MISC and I think Sho even had a hand in giving Retsu songwriting ideas and Hiroshi,I read somewhere wanted to sound like new Dezert and he got his wish somewhat.But from that interview, growls and breakdowns will one day comeback if they feel it's time to bring it back.

apologies for not updating for a while x For their 19th anniversary on 11/7, MERRY will livestream the tour final from their 5 Sheep tour, ie, Kenichi's final live. The stream will be on Zaiko, which does accept foreign credit/debit cards/Paypal and is in English! General ticket is 3000 yen, and if you want digital photos with it, it'll be 4500 yen. After purchase, you're only able to view the stream from your account only, even if you try to share it anywhere else, and you can watch the stream even after it's over. https://merry-1107.zaiko.io/_item/331555

It took me a few listens, but I'm with you. I honestly think, lyrics aside, it's my favorite release of theirs.

Well, hospitals are full of covid19 people here. Medical people are burned out, the army is helping out.. And yet people think its just fake news and that it is just a simple flu. Yes for most people its just a simple flu, but for the 1% who ends up in the hospitals it isnt just a flu. Also many young people get very sick and not all do recover well and a bunch even fly to heaven. Here a guy in his. 20ties dies and his brother survied with luck, but might never be able to functional normal because of his lungs damage. Right now, there is too less known about the virus, little kids don't even really get it, might its. Because of some other vaccine? Or is it really due their immunesystem? I didn't catch covid19 yet... I still did catch the normal flu more times than normal.. 😅 But never was short in breath. But the most thing what angers me is... Whats the big deal of wearing a mask? Why do so many people refuse it. Even if you think everything is fake, why will you be such...... To not wear one? Since it doesn't harm your self or anybody around you. And even might helps out to at least not pass the normal flu... 🙃 Why bring so egoistic?

I have at the moment 94 CD's; mostly VK and few anime/otome songs/K-Pop albums. My 95th CD is on it's way so that's probably all I've been collecting them probably around 8 years ago ^^ I also own a few cheki's, photo sets, few (signed) posters and a lightstick

A lot of people seem to hate Immortalis but personally that's by far my favourite work by the band so far. So much variation and so many amazing, beautiful and all out weird tracks. So thatd be my recommendation as well.

It's hard to tell. Their OHP is like... dead or not working but their last Twitter post was in August. Their official merch site is still up and running. They're supposedly doing two shows in Shibuya in January. As much as this band gets shitted on, I really hope they continue to be active. Unpopular opinion but I really enjoyed MISC.

Ten years ago when we had the pig flu epidemic they rolled out a vaccine that ended up triggering narcolepsy on kids who had a genetic predisposition for it. So with that in mind, the chances of me getting a vaccine that they're just dying to put out there in the market in order to keep capitalism functioning for fat rich people and and save a few old folks from dying, is, quite frankly, 0. Under no circumstance would I get it.

Actors making memes about how they've been feeling make me calmer bc it's all so relatable. Good to know celebs are getting fucked over just as much as me, I mean it's bad but it's good to know they're ALSO trying to make things work through creativity and just trying to have some fun amidst the mess yknow. Speaking of which, bandomen should do that too. (they won't but those would be... possibly the best.)

This is my attempt. The lyrics are written in the booklet but it's very disorganized as the lyrics for the songs are all split up and mixed in with each other. I'm pretty confident with 吐瀉物, but 便所2 gave me some trouble that I'll explain at the end of this post. 「吐瀉物」 Kanji: Romaji: 「便所2」 Kanji: Romaji: I can't really figure out some of the harsh vocals in 便所2 (hence the ???????) and there's no lyrics leftover. I'm also unsure about the last two lines in 便所2. I can hear the latter half of both lines, but the first halves are definitely different. I think they're just being sung differently than the way the lyrics were written though, since I don't hear those fragments anywhere in either song and I can't find anymore lyrics in the booklet.

ryuya was the hot one tho

Uhm, you missed the part they sold out their show in Brazil and the other SA shows were close? It's not like Covid forced them to postpone all plans including their show at Shibuya Womb.They haven't played any song from MISC live yet. Anyway music is subjective and MISC has their most technical playing and showcases Sho's amazing clean vocals and range. Ryuya was a replaceable rhythm guitarist (support guitarist or backtracked 2nd guitars) that has no song writing credit, losing Taishi was a bigger lost but he had health issues and retired.While I do think they need to recruit a bassist, a female one would be better as there are a lot of talented female session bassist in Japan.

I'll try to keep this short. First off, I barely have posted anything on this site. Mainly because of my shyness and a part of me not feeling as if I'm allowed to say things or have opinions of my own, so I don't believe that posting things on forums are for me. Second, I've only used this site to read posts, so I don't really see a point in being seemingly active, but never posting anything. Basically I'm trying to say that I don't have any desire to post, and the occasion that I come on this site is rare. Maybe I'll be back someday. So bye.

Retsu has been posting on IG that the band is working hard and more recently ,something is coming up soon ,which I take as new music. Hiroshi also posted a short drumming clip on his IG story of him playing What's Up.If you guys aren't updated live shows in Japan has restarted a few months ago but with half capacity and strict implementation of social distancing required mask and shield and temperature checking at the door. Dexcore and Nazare just did a 2 man show a few days ago.

I don't think these January shows are happening with the pandemic ramping back up. That rescheduled Russia date came and went without a single mention. There is maybe a chance to keep it together with the Rijin/Kidoairaku sound and forget MISC. ever happened (not that it doesn't have its moments). I would also be happy with Retsu leaving and them continuing as a two-piece band just to keep it wacky and interesting.

This band died when they lost half the band for the second time. Haha. Has been a downward spiral ever since.

It seems.. 😅

Safe to say, yes.

Has anyone seen or tried this? https://www.screenanime.com/ It's a subscription service that showcases mostly anime films if I'm not wrong and their line up changes every month. Since this month they have two Yuasa films, I'm gonna go for the free-trial. Atm I'm only subscribed to Crunchyroll, but the Funimation subscription catalogue has my attention. I don't wanna sign up to any more services and all the series I keep up with are aired on CR including the upcoming AOT, Promised Neverland and Dr Stone.
