Was there a precedent for that in the past? 

 

I sure loved Vexent but some of their songs were clearly rip offs and as far as I know they didn't do anything about that.

vexent has quite a few gaze rip off songs for sure. but a lot of bands do now a days orz

gaze's management doesn't seem to target everyone, only select few it seems. i don't know how they decide, but i know gossip and another band got in trouble in the past. the other band i can't remember their name but they're a vk band thats known for doing parodies and they're the one that most recently got in some trouble. "trouble"? meh

basically the band would get warned by management to not continue certain things or do things.

gee i wonder who inspired them LMAO

((i wonder how their music will sound cause if they do the wrong thing...........gaze gonna shut them down real quick))

I want kids! So bad!!! ...When I'm older lol

I grew up very family oriented and so for the longest time I've always wanted children of my own (one or two, probably one). Not having children was never a thought. The easiest way to explain my thoughts towards this is that I KNOW for certain I want to be a mom. That's my main life goal. I don't know what type of career I want and I have no other true BIG goals besides you know, following Gaze tours. At some point, I just want to be able to settle down and have children. I would babysit my cousins a lot since they were infants so my patience grew a lot and I love them so muchhhh. I want one. lol.

Ideally, I'd love to have one of my own biological child and then adopt a second child. Probably adopt an older kid since they're usually the ones who don't get chosen. I hear adoption is super expensive though...

 I also really want to experience pregnancy??? I know every pregnancy is different and for all I know I could have the worst luck and get a terrible pregnancy....but I'll take that risk. I really want to experience pregnancy and I want to be a mom and raise a kid and give them the best life possible. I've thought about it a lot. I want to be pregnant by 33 but obviously that might not be the case lol

My poor friends always deal with me and my baby talk lol 

Coming from a Cambodian background, I love Cambodian/Thai/Viet food the most. Everything is so delicious and super flavorful. I like Japanese food but not as much at this point because in reality a lot of it is just.......plain. Cambodians season the shit outta everything so I'm used to that since it's what I grew up with. (Hence why my fave Japanese food is okonomiyaki. I drown that shit in mayo and sauce lmao). I saw someone mention Chinese peking duck tho and I loooooooove duck so much. Peking duck or the super greasy roasted duck you get at a local Asian market mmmmmmmm. Fuck. I miss all those foods so much lmao

But I will say my comfort dish will always be spicy papaya salad with Cambodian fried chicken and rice and, of course, grandma's eggrolls.  

Fish sauce, spicy chili salt, balut, duck, sour fruit, durian.... I just...ugh my mouth is watering.

@solaris05  🤣 Family or VK? Family or VK? 🤔

Hahahaha honestly, imma do everything in my power to make both work 😂 

I agree that the rate is really high. I've had a lot of friends who turned away from vk and went into kpop or something else. Few eventually returned to vk while the rest didnt. I've wondered about this before too because its sad to see, but meh happens.

As for myself, i personally dont like watching full live dvds alone and i've stopped reading interviews a few years ago. I've been a fan for... roughly 11 years now???? Anyway, i want to think i will always be a fan but theres probably??? going to be a time where i have to move on. But in a way i'm already doing that. I dont really bother with much in vk anymore, i only focus on two bands. I know OF a lot of bands but i either dont care or am too busy to bother with it. I feel like this happens in general with a lot of fans overseas and domestic? But just my opinion.

I've pulled myself away from a lot of vk fans since i used to always know the drama or be involved in the drama. And imma say its been so damn NICE avoiding all that now and just sticking to a few people. I feel this and just the dark vibes in general might be apart of the turn over rate. While the kpop fandom is bad too, the music is at least more upbeat and if you dont understand korean then youre safe from the lyrics. 

A lot of good stuff has happened in my years and thankfully i never turned to something else fully. At some point i will have to prioritize vk less (i wanna settle down and have a family) but i'm (hopefully) still going to keep an eye on my two favorite bands.... if....they dont break up..... Usually I leave a certain band after 3-5 years but since I found vk and GazettE I've been stuck ever since. Hopefully i continue to stay even longer.

Sorry if my post was hella messy and unorganized lmao

Went from various murder/crime shows -> Try Guys -> readings on Reddit -> yt teaaa -> Aba and Preach 😂 I have no idea what to watch anymore. Nothing is keeping my interest now.

Btw if you like the crime stuff, YT channel Female Killers is great. If you don't mind the cheesy reenactment stories lolol

Not yet carrying, but want to one day. Only one other friend I have wants to be a mother, so I talk about it a lot to her. Ideally, I'd love to have my own child and then adopt an older child a few years later. My poor friends lol they have to deal with me and my constant baby fever so much (not just a baby fever phase. Having a baby to raise is one of my only life goals lmao). I actually want to experience a pregnancy too, so hopefully I'll be lucky and won't have an absolute terrible pregnancy in the future orz

This is always so difficult. I used to be a morning shower person because it would help wake me up for the day. But ever since moving abroad I've begun to switch and take night showers instead. I do switch back and forth though between morning and night, so at this point it really depends. If it's summer or I have a concert then I shower twice a day. If I'm just working a regular day then I shower the night before so I can get more sleep instead lmao 😫

I would LOVE to own items from any of Aoi (GazettE)'s previous bands. I have some things from Kai, which I'm thankful for, but it's not the same when it isnt my bias 🥺🥺🥺

#StopYoshiki2020

NICOLAS recently released a DVD of their first live at Meguro Rockmaykan on July 1, 2019. They're also going to live stream it on YouTube!

I think Saku said they're keeping in MCs and stuff. If so, it's going to be hilarious. The live was suuuper fun and there was even hella funny talk about what furi to do for their new songs. 😍

Edit: all MCs are kept and Saku never knows when to shut up so youve been warned 😂

I finally got my hands on a ds lite again and ive bought a bunch of super mario games to play with it. Its been a great distraction and eventually i wanna get other games but just this is good for now. Except it totally messed up my sleeping schedule because one night i was playing Mario until 4am LOL as a kid i had all the gameboys but they somehow disappeared (im so convinced my dad either sold them or kids stole them during house parties idk). Basically im just glad to relive my childhood with these games lol i wanna get my old hamtaro game back too. Im even tempted to buy a nintendo 64. Damn this "lock down" 😫

at first i was trying to choose someone from gazette or whatever but fuck it. anyone from exist trace. we can do anything, go anywhere, and it can be ANY one of the members. oof. an amusement park or arcade would be fun af with mally since she's so outgoing and energetic. the reptile cafe is pretty much naoto's shit. imma just stop typing now--

Ooof. I'd buy the guitar if i were filthy rich

i'm so sad, but i hope taku gets better soon and can return to music in the future ;; sucks cause i've only seen them live once

People call Koichi a kusomen cause they claim they've seen him leaving a Botox center.

I've heard stories about Koichi. I cant repeat them but hes a huge dick from what I hear. I unfortunately saw him in person with his new group last year and the VIBES i got from him was terrible (and it wasnt from that new music sound theyre doing lmao). Genki/Tsuzuku was fine for me but just being in the same room as Koichi felt all sorts of wrong. I didnt like him one bit and he didnt even do anything 🤮 like.. Im shocked with the vibes I got. I never felt that from any other bandmen. 

fucking gross......and not only that, i checked his twitter and he posted TWO videos of it. like.........

I don't drink coffee and even at the end of my college days I surprisingly haven't started still LOL I'm not a big fan of tea either but I've been starting to drink it a bit more and getting used to it. There's so many types of coffee and sometimes it does smell amazing but it's a big no to my taste buds 😭

MUCC, DespairsRay, and Girugamesh were the bands that introduced me into Japanese rock, but it took me maybe a year afterwards to actually fall in love with VK and appreciate it. Basically started going downhill from there. 

You all know how VK has THAT certain sound. Idk, it just really hooked me. But the GazettE was what did it for me. I was hooked instantly, loved anyone else I found and loved that VK sound. The music was certainly different and the makeup didn't really surprise me or anything. I just rolled with it??? It was (still is) super fun.

I'm still in it/I love it because I've met so many of my good friends through the scene and honestly, everything I've done since becoming a fan most likely wouldn't have happened if I hadn't found VK. Or... maybe I'd be following American bands around the States rather than Japan lmao but still so different!

Meeting awesome friends, traveling and gaining all sorts of experiences, and learning funny shit about bands and the members is why I loved it. Of course, I love the costume/makeup side of it too. I absolutely love the concert culture in Japan too. Regular j-rock/metal shows are fun and are just like any western live, but shit. While there are some downfalls to it, I fucking love VK lives lmao VK is ridiculous and fun.

(what isn't great about loving men twice my age in makeup and throwing my money at them while I struggle how to pay the next trip outside of Tokyo for another live LOL)

NICOLAS is going to hold another YouTube live! Usually it's them working in the studio or just low key backstage stuff chatting, but they already finished recording. So I think it's going to be an actual livestream live??? but I'm not sure. Judging by the bassist's own comment, it might be a live. They're still rehearsing and everything too so i'm hoping- 😭😭😭

Same, the ONLY reason I got one to begin with was because I was told that I need to get one, need to build credit, need credit for pretty much everything in America supposedly, but I took advice from family, family who had filed bankruptcy, a mother who had 20 credit cards at one point, and a marketing culture that prays on the young and impressionable. Excuse my French, but my fucking APR is 26.40% on the 5k and 24.24% on the 1,5k one, and I've been told that that's insane and an apr should be around 10-15%, but I had no idea when I signed up because like I'm sure everyone knows, they don't teach this in school and they market credit cards to young people and anyone can get one including the dead and pets. 😫

Ooooof yeah thats dangerous. Most people dont know much about it so it just goes downhill into that debt

I do fall into the range of Americans who have more than 1 credit card, but I don't have THAT many. I have a pretty good limit on both but I do NOT overspend and max out cards. I first got one when I started working as a teenager because I wanted to start building good credit since that's pretty important in America. Spend only what you can afford to pay back etc etcccc. It's useful for emergencies.

please don't max out credit cards for bands yo lmao

Thank you!! @Mihenno @Miku70
