  1. So recently I’ve been asked by a friend of mine to start a band with him and I’ve agreed to be the vocalist!

     

    Anyone here have any tips on looking after my voice? There’s already a bit of damage to my vocal chords, and I also need to reduce the amount I smoke/quit (as much as I don’t want to quit 😂) I do clean vocals btw if that helps

      Do warmups before you sing maximum intensity / highest range. The most important thing is to listen to your body and be aware of when you are straining or need to adjust your technique some days, but you probably already got the hang of a lot of that unconsciously. Eating pretty much anything before you sing, so long as its not dry and dusty like nuts, will help soften/comfort the throat if it feels off.

       

      How have you damaged your vocal chords already? Do you throw your voice out a lot?

  2. So CDJapan shipped my preorder of the 2 Gazette DVD’s. However they’ve told me that Sony Music fucked up and sent me the DVD copy of the world tour documentary instead of the Blu-ray

     

    The best part of the email was “What we would like to ask you now is not open DVD/Blu-ray box“ like are they wanting me to pay shipping costs to return it to Japan??

      I got this too! For the wt doc DVD they said I might get blu ray!

      @heresytrash yeah mine was for the wt one! I ordered Blu-ray which I hope they do send me Blu-ray when they can  because I paid extra for it 😂

      I was told in by someone if you get sent the wrong thing, to email CDJapan and they'll take care of the postage I think. I sent them an email about it, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

  3. Searching online I found footage from the TV broadcast of the Gazette's New York performance! Here's the link from anyone who wants to watch it!

  4. I just finished listening to UVERWorld’s 2011 album ‘LIFE 6 SENSE’ and whilst I found it to be a fun, easy listen, it really is just a bunch of songs that could be anime openings and endings

     

    CORE PRIDE slaps tho, and that actually is an anime opening (Blue Exorcist Season 1 episodes 1 to 12)

  5. Does anyone know what tuning the guitars are in on the song Mad [K] by DIMLIM? I wanna attempt to learn it? 

    1. saiko

      saiko

      Don't know exactly, but the lowest string should be between B and A for sure.

  6. Just finished the 16 track album NAZARE released yesterday and it’s one of my favourite releases EVER! ‘Believing’ had me SHOOK!

  7. I was at a house party last night and I played aizounitsuki by DIMLIM and everyone was feeling it! It felt so good to be around people in an environment like that where they enjoyed my taste in music I’ve not met many people who can appreciate that kind of thing! 

    1. saiko

      saiko

      You've got to tell this to Retsu asap before his lack of self-confidence kills him and Dimlim altogether. 

  8. I need help remembering this PS2 game that I had on a demo disc back in ‘05/‘06

     

    It looked like a horror game and you had this small guy with you that you could throw in a woodchipper or in basketball hoops or through windows

     

    I appreciate if anyone knows the title!!

      @Elazmus Thank you so much that’s the one! I’ve been looking for literally YEARS for what this game was!

  9. I’ve been listening to Nirvana a lot recently and it makes me wonder what would it have been like if Kurt Cobain hadn’t died? I wonder if they’d still be making music now or if they’d have just disappeared in to the background as grunge started to lose popularity 

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      I think they probably would have turned out like Foo Fighters did. Foo Fighters is essentially their legacy continued, and they're still semi-popular today.

    2. TheZigzagoon

      TheZigzagoon

      @Himeaimichu It would be interesting to have heard Kurt sing on Foo Fighters tracks, I can imagine his voice being well suited to songs like Pretender and Monkey Wrench! And the popularity thing is interesting, I saw foo fighters live at a festival in august, they were headliners on the Friday night and the place was PACKED. I could only imagine what a crowd Nirvana would pull in if they were still around 

  10. I’ve decided for 2020 that I’m gonna expand on my VK CD collection and try new bands at the same time

     

    To do this, I’m gonna place all 26 letters of the alphabet in to a randomiser each month, and whatever letter appears I’ll take the band names that Closet Child have and place the names in a randomiser, whatever band is pulled from the randomiser I’ll buy a relatively cheap CD of theirs

     

    It’s probs a stupid idea but a good way to build up my collection I suppose 😂

  11. What’s the song around 31 minutes in??

     

     

  12. So the MEJIBRAY DVD at Hibiya Yaon I got for Christmas was £4 used on Amazon, it is signed?? 

     

    Were 1st press copies signed by the band? I’ll post a photo soon to see if anyone can verify that they’re the bands signatures

    1. Komorebi

      Komorebi

      I don’t think bands just release signed CDs, they sign stuff at instores. 

    2. TheZigzagoon

      TheZigzagoon

      @Komorebi I’ll get a picture uploaded tomorrow probs but from other pictures I’ve seen it seems to be signed by them! 

  13. I should not be drunk at 7:20 pm but what can you do?? 😂

  14. After watching several backstage videos from NIGHTMARE I’ve noticed that Yomi uses what I’m assuming is like a steam inhaler thing and has been since like ‘07

     

    Does anyone know why he might be using this??

      Vocal chords preservation? Hazuki from lynch. uses one.

  15. Is there any info about Kurihara from Sendai Kamotsu? Like who is he and is he in any other bands or musical projects? 

  16. Trains in the UK are fucked rn because of weather

  17. Just got back from seeing Planet Booty, TWRP and Ninja Sex Party live and wowww was it amazing! Danny Sexbang (Dan Avidan) has an amazing voice live, so talented 

  18. All I want right now is to be a vocalist of a band 😂

  19. Today in my guitar lesson we looked at Wakaremichi by the Gazette and it’s a fun song to play! 

  20. I would love a one day revival of Luinspear tbh

  21. Anyone in the UK interested in buying a sealed box of Catherine Fullbody Heart’s Desire Premium Edition for PS4? I’m in need of money ASAP, I’m looking for around £80-£85 for it but price is negotiable!

  24. Sadly I’m back at home now Leeds Fest is over 😞 Billie Eilish was really good live! And I saw Foo Fighters for about half an hour which was also decent! I should’ve stayed for that whole show tbh 

  25. It’s an incredibly long shot but is any of the UK members here going to Leeds Fest??
