235 fucking pages of some of the cringiest arguments the internet has ever seen. I'm glad to have been apart of it. 

Made this topic so we could share our social media in one spot.
 
You can find me on Instagram @saracura__ or discord platymelon#1731

It's really touching to get notifications for being mentioned here. I'll definitely keep a lot of hilarious memories from this place as well. If I had to pick one, that one time we all joined forces and exposed Kisaki over his fake band history was definitely a peak.
 
Whether we interacted or not, I hope everyone gets to live their best life beyond this forum. Have a good graduation and departure™ my dear monochrome citizens. Take care and stay healthy.

The MH plug.dj sessions deserve a shout out. I remember in the early days we'd get a lot of people in those. Fun times.

I've been here for 10 years, at first just a bit of lurking here and there and when the chat feature came I've always been there each single day to have a chat with everyone and to cheer people up as I've been known as the positive fairy who cheers everyone up

 
I've got to know quite some people here who I'm still in touch with^^ (after I came back after 5 years).
 
I think the most memorable thing was:
That thing with Akane (Para:noir/D.I.D) where everyone went nuts for some specific comment about religions or something. I remember @Karma’s Hat used to had it in the signature >,<
 
My duties which I did for the staff team back in the days. Also the end of the year staff music reviews was really nice organized and fun to do 
 
Honestly I've always been quite a introvert person but thanks to you all I've become a more open person both online and irl  
 
I hope to stay in touch with everyone!
I do have a few people of MH on my social media accounts, feel free to follow and message me so we can stay in touch!

Goodbye MH, you'll be never forgotten!
ありがとう!

New downy track out of nowhere called「17月」
 
 
From what I can gather the guitars in this are samples from some recordings Yutaka Aoki did, and mergrim was also involved to some degree with SUNNOVA producing.

Hahahahahaha. That made me spit out my drink.
 
Actually I've noticed this happening a lot lately. Random fake songs appearing on bands' spotify pages with no context nor explanation. I wonder why this is becoming such an issue lately?

Their new song is a banger

This is a strange way of looking at it. I don't think anybody would criticise him if he'd simply told them "I've decided there are other things in life I want to pursue, so I'm leaving the band as of x-date", but completely ghosting your friends/colleagues/bandmates/whatever without warning is just scummy regardless of the reason (unless you literally died or became incapacitated somehow).

Rather enjoying this album.
 
I prefer it to ANGELS mostly in the sense that it takes the more poppy/electronic experimentation that album had and runs further with it, whereas ANGELS tended to fall back into more safe, familiar-sounding territory quite a bit (BAD DREAM, Everything, Close to Me, etc all sound very similar to previous tracks they've put out). It also feels more tightly-themed than ANGELS, and having very strongly-themed releases is something I really like about the majority of THE NOVEMBERS discog in general.
 
To be honest I felt rather down on THE NOVEMBERS post-Elegance. Hallelujah felt kind of like a glorified best-of album (all new songs, but the majority of them felt like stuff they'd explored more in-depth in previous releases) and TODAY was pretty weak IMO, but these last two releases have both been pretty good. 

Since I've been living in Korea I've come across a few artists that I really like, so I figured I'd share them here. Unlike my other posts, these are artists that I'm actually listening to on a regular basis rather than just recommendations from friends or bands I've heard about but don't care for so much.
 
Tierpark
Really cool mix of dreamgaze and post-rock with a little bit of math-rock added in for good measure. They remind me a little bit of a Japanese indie band called COgeNdshE but with more emphasis on melodic vocals. Their
 
오희정 (Oh HeeJung)
Her sound makes use of both electronic and 'real' instruments to create a distinct and incredibly relaxing dreampop sound. Both of her EPs are available on Bandcamp and although I'd say Everybody here wants you back slighty beats 표류기 overall, I can comfortably recommend both of them.

 
유카리 (YUKARI)
유카리 is one of the most promising dream-pop acts in Korea at the moment (despite her Japanese-sounding name). Her work varies from very chill, almost cokiyu-esque, numbers to more up-tempo songs, but everything has a distinctly dreamlike quality to it. Like the previous two artists her album ECHO is available on Bandcamp and she supposedly has a new album on the way too.

 
실리카겔 (SILICA GEL)
A combination of predominantly-instrumental progressive and psychedelic rock with a healthy dose of synth mixed in for good measure. Unfortunately their work doesn't appear to be available on Bandcamp but you can find their EP on iTunes nevertheless.

유카리 changed her name to ASEUL and will release her new album "NEW POP" on 05.10.

Well, I categorically loved that. It's definitely more 'rough' sounding, but hey, it sounds like what you'd expect from an already depressing-sounding band that's now reeling from the sudden death of a bandmate and family member. Robin's vocals between 3:20-3:35 in particular hit pretty hard.

So, as I said in the news thread, math absolutely sucks. Bring back real Visual Kei!
 
In all seriousness though the second half of the album is noticably stronger than the first, but overall I don't see myself giving too many of these tracks relistens. It has the same problem a lot of the other mathy bands cropping up all over the place these days have; their songs are serviceable but missing that extra something that makes them sound like more than the sum of their parts. Mathy music tends to have a lot more going on in terms of compositional complexity, sure, but that doesn't make it inherently more well-written. In this sense I think they've regressed a bit from CHEDOARA, so hopefully if they continue with this sound they'll at least rediscover some of those qualities.
 
Also, can the vocalist stop sexually moaning for some guy called 'Richard' in out of the darkness please?

Not really sure how y'all could enjoy tracks like Rijin and Vanitas but somehow hate this. Sure they're emphasising the mathy elements more while downplaying the heavier side somewhat, but it's hardly a complete 180 from their last couple of releases or anything.
 
Anyway I'm basically a math slut so I'll let this song have its way with me. All hail visual math kei etcetc.
