Since all the memes are being mentioned again, I guess I'll "come clean" =P and add some of my own thoughts.
 
I was Harambe, Ditto, and Saishuuuu. Even during times when I found myself occupied with other stuff in my life, I couldn't help myself from memeposting on the forum.  Moving on, there was always this pervasive cynicism creep that became really obvious during release dry spells which would lead to reddit-posting and oddball topics. While a bit annoying in retrospect, the discussions were always fun to some degree, whether I was participating or just observing the chaos.

I mean the list goes on, but some of the many individuals on the forum I had pleasant experiences with.
 
@Raburr7 and I have had a back-and-forth since March of 2013 trading music and whatnot, and got brief glimpses into what he was doing in his life the past 6~ish years.

With the occasional other individual(s) (sorry if I've forgotten), we would have dubtrack.fm sessions in the host-kei room, which upon reflection were really cathartic for me. They were always really fun.
 
On a related note, @hiroki for several months straight met up with me nearly every day (if I recall) on that same Dubtrack channel to discuss music, life, etc. Unknowingly, you helped me through one of the more uncertain periods of my life. I can't thank you enough.

M-H will disband at 2021/01/01 due to losing confidence of visual kei since the same date, and their alter-ego band "JROCK ONE" will commence activities

they will still search for visual-kei news in the future but will not post anywhere in the near future

PS1: M-H people are talented enough to find news, and thus visual kei no longer needs them anymore
PS2: that mod, psychonnect_rozen, and vk stan twitter/reddit/facebook groups should be happy for this news
PS3: hope that this thread will not be deleted or edited by that mod, who is not willing to delete other threads upon his request

Sorry I wrote a fucking novel ;V

Hi lynch fans ! ALLIVE is available on streaming plateforms...! In japan only... 
But for you here a gift  i made Spotify japanese account + VPN and get access to the song, i recorded it and convert to mp3. It’s not a digital purchase (i tried with amazon co jp account and they don’t let me buy it), And not a legit rip so i don’t put it to the download section, iam sure it will be here soon but i made this for people like me who can’t wait.
 
Here you go ! https://www.mediafire.com/file/5forfj8wgyzotjm/ALLIVE.mp3/file
 
Ps: Well it’s a typical lynch song guys, nothing new, don’t expect surprising sound unfortunately.. 😕

Edit : it’s available Spotify Apple etc worldwide now ^^’, strange, the « virus » single is still not there.

Member leaves band  after 23 years and retires from music and instead of people lamenting that it's just a bunch of shit posts trashing him and the band. I don't get it... Well, actually I kinda do since some of you are a gimmick/act at this point. Just way too damn negative. 
 
Anyway... Surreal news because I was listening to their earlier stuff like 2 days ago and looking at their earlier photo shoots and those really young pics of them in the AISHUU booklet and thought to myself holy shit these guys have longevity.  I was appreciating how they've stuck together over the years and then I wake up to this news today. What a coincidence.
 
2020 has been wild between Kenichi leaving Merry, Ryo leaving Baroque and retiring from music, and now this latest succession and retirement... Like, what is he going to do now? I'm surprised he's leaving music entirely.

He composed some pretty great songs: KINSENKA, NUKEGARA, MEDIA NO JUUSEI, REQUIEM, MAE E, HOTARU etc...

Satoshi speaks out about girugamesh’s disbandment

Really sucks to lose someone who I thought was a close friend, but then I realize, they weren't really my friend to begin with.

Despite everything that is going on  in the world right now, I'm in a big Halloween mood at the moment

Feeling cute, looking dead

wtf? Uhhh? 
 
@Egnirys cimredopyh I don't know what to tell you, but it's definitely not sukekiyo. Unless they're being held at gun point. 

WTF is this!?
 
Someone has been pretending to be Kyo for three years and cheated 54m JPY from a woman's family. He even tricks his mom that he is Kyo for 10 years buying DIR EN GREY concert tickets for her to watch "her son" perform.

hoping they'll turn doom metal once their cumulative pound mass approaches 666!

So they're gonna betray the scene just because one of the members gained weight?
Bruh moment

This one is neat!

Time to serve some boiling hot tea today, folks...
 
Seven years after leaving AvelCain, Kasumi has written a sort of exposé of his time in the band, notably the moment when he wanted to leave the band due to his illness, but was ultimately turned away by management. 
 
Quick summary as I cannot provide a full accurate translation:
Kasumi valued his time in AvelCain, but due to suffering from facial paralysis and alopecia areata (bald spots) at the time, he was unable to continue and he requested that he leave the band. The president of Shimizuya Records turned him away, allegedly stating that they "didn't care for his story". Kasumi considered suicide as an only way out of the band, and he even tried jumping off of a 4 story condo (as he lived in a rural area) but fortunately came out unscathed. He has since recovered from his conditions (although he still suffers from paralysis when he gets tired) but he still suffers from depression as a result from his experience from being in the band, which included being naked in front of female staff, being beaten in front of his members, and even licking the nipples of a senior bandman. Despite all that, he still respects the band members, the label, and the bangya who have supported them.

He has also posted additional tweets on his Twitter account about not being paid for songs he composed, band merch, or several fees he's paid out of pocket (transportation, costumes, recording, shooting) even after he had left the band. Overall, he states that this is a warning to young bandmen and hopes that this behavior still isn't going on today.
 

These pics were taken almost a month ago but i remembered about them just now
So... Just me JoJo posing in the forest while wearing a BFMV t-shirt, nothing special. Showing what an emo weeb i am, duh.
