  2. I think Chamu is supposed to be 37 now? So he is approaching middle age lol
  3. Some gya posted a chamu nude on tanuki in 2017 lol
  4. More information is coming out https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/efb36c125f80e468cd3f27355eedcf34c1b1526a Translation of above article by codomo dragon spain: https://codomodragonspain.blogspot.com/2020/11/codomo-dragon-special-translation-to.html Some notes: There is some discrepancy between the machine translation/my interpretation and the translation by codomo dragon spain. I don't think Kana has contacted anyone from Codora since 2018. Rather, it was his "bandmen friends" (who are not from Codora) who suggested that he hold a live in the future. (From here: バンドマンの友だちに連絡をとったら、『ちゃんとファンの前で公表したほうがいい』『ライブを一度やったほうがいいんじゃないか』と言われました。 and this: 仲の良かったコドモドラゴンのメンバーたちとも会えていない。 ) Their profit split was originally 50:50 between the band and company but the band had to take a smaller cut due to a 2017 scandal. (Chamu pls) Tweet from CEO of BForest/BPrecords saying he will refrain from further comments on this matter. Fun fact: Kana's attorney composed a song for HKT48 lol
  5. Link to post: https://kana-gt.com/to-everyone20201118/ What I got via machine translation is that he had adjustment disorder, and president of B' FOREST fired him. Also he sued the president for unpaid remuneration of roughly 3 million yen and power harassment. ^Seems to mean that his former labelmates are still going unpaid? Someone with actual japanese knowledge please summarize this.
  6. RAKUGAKI will suspend its activities after their one man live on 13 December.
  7. Oh right, sorry! Changed it now. Thanks for telling me!
  8. Full translation of the departure here: https://crimsonlotus.eu/rands-departure-of-the-guitarist-and-the-bassist What's with bandomen and chronic diseases, seriously
  9. Oof hayato is sounding pretty rough in yesterday's live. It almost seems as if he's out of breath?

      @platy 👀 my first thought is covid-19 lol but I seriously hope bandomen don't catch it, considering that a lot of them smoke (including hayato)

       yeah, imo his voice has been getting worse since last year? Hopefully this situation will let him rest his voice. 

       

      What else did they play?

       

      (I have no idea how to tag people lmao)

    Rakugaki is having a live at 7pm JST. Since they specified live and talk separately, I'm assuming they'll be playing. They are asking if there's any songs you want to see live: https://gamp.ameblo.jp/sick2-official/entry-12586661628.html? Grimoire, REIGN and 感染2 will also have a free live on icolony youtube channel starting from 5pm JST.
  12. Dude upstairs is playing his electric guitar in the middle of the night. Again. I can even hear him tapping his foot.

     

    I'm now open to ideas on how to screw with someone's guitar playing through a wall

     

    1. Peace Heavy mk II
    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      Play something louder to assert your dominance,

      but in a different tempo and key to throw him off

  13. Singer and guitarist (Hina) from kebyo started a rap group(?) called ON'z

      haha what?! I mean it's not awful. The vocals make me think of Maya from LM.C when he does his lil rap bits sometimes.

    No problem! I was trying to think of active bands that are similar to nurié but couldn't come up with any at the time. So I just gave random suggestions instead haha. Now that I think about it, develop one's faculties should have something in common with nurié, but I'm not familiar with them.
  15. gret

    Hi! Great to see another nurie fan! For heavy stuff you may like deviloof then. Some popular vk acts: xaa xaa, kizu, razor, hueye, acme, scapegoat, dezert, arlequin. Smaller vk bands: 蟻 (Ari), rakugaki, doku (friends of nurie!), Kebyo (仮病) These are just random shots in the dark and may not to be your taste. Check them out though!

    Someone who knows better about kpop imitating black culture should tackle this but yeah, it's a thing. Thankfully a thing that my Shinee boys don't do. Hopefully? I live in south east asia so kpop is unavoidable for me. I can only speak for myself, but what I noticed around me was that the people who first got into kpop weren't into jpop. They were 'mainstream normies' so to speak, so 2000s kpop being more accessible from the start meant that they had much greater exposure to kpop than jpop in the first place. My general impression back then was that kpop was seen as 'fresher', 'more polished' than jpop which has been around for a few years already. So there was the general public getting into kpop + jpop/vk/etc fans getting into kpop but little to no fans gained for jpop/vk. So that was that. Though it was obvious that kpop was taking trend cues from japanese music, like how early dbsk had visual kei hairstyles lol. But they quickly found a style that simply appealed more to the foreign public than jpop/vk did imo. I mean, they had government backing, so.... What I dislike about kpop is how they pigeonhole members, like oh guy 1 is the singer, guy 2 is rap and so on. It's weird how they introduce themselves explicitly like that. Of course they have their own strengths but why do that? I don't know about 2010 kpop but I think the surviving groups and artists from 2000s kpop are still quite good and are beginning to have their own musical input. I specifically like songs (partially) written and composed by Donghae of Suju for some reason: Also key's solo albums are prime kpop goodness. Odd eye best kpop album of the decade tbh, bts can't compare
