Fuck off.

Well, Galneryus and Onmyo-Za are both on major labels. (which is still something I find baffling).

Its annoying how even stuff on majors can go out of print. I nailed a couple Aphasia albums off of Amazon marketplace (they were on King Records at one point) - hopefully they're in good shape. For some reason I felt compelled to get their collection completed ASAP.


Haha Man, Ancient Myth has some pretty wacky songtitles. Not as bad as Skywings, but still pretty out there. "rw-rw-rw-" = wtf? Mind you, that's nowhere near as bad as "Say [Good] Bye⇔Say [God] Bye" or "DDDDDDDDDDDDD"


That's where I get PVs and news - it saves me from having to manually check bands' homepages all the time (and sometimes those are a pain in the ass to find). Its cool when I post a pic of what I'm playing or CDs I got and the actual band notices.


I wouldn't be shocked if that already happened.


At least you can move the offending CD(s) to another order. My order from them (Skywings/Dangergang) just shipped. Once I get my points from that order, I'm gonna order those Inugami Circus Dan CDs and put points towards them.


That Destrose drops on the same day as Onmyo-Za/Galneryus/Exist Trace. That's going to be an epic order. I think mid-August or whenever HMV Japan has a promotion that I can't refuse, I'll put an order in to mow down late August/early September releases. Once some of my orders ship, I'll probably use my coupons to nail more Ningen-Isu CDs.

October is going to be kinda weak. We do have a Bridear single (it just showed up at HMV Japan) and Xecsnoin though.


Not shocked there hehe Just need to get a few Japanese bands to get really high compatibility with me. I think over half of my neighborlist is from Japan (the shock!) and the other half weeaboos This is like my 7-8th account, but I've kept this one for awhile (it actually serves a purpose now). I kinda wish I didn't lose all my earlier data though - it would've added more variation. But I guess I started this account right when I started getting into Japanese music. I guess I missed probably 500 scrobbles for Yousei Teikoku and a pile for Denkare too.

Oh sorry, I meant that I used to mostly ignore stuff on major labels. The Versailles bit was just an example.

But yes, it is ridiculous how huge bands on huge labels can have out of print albums (X Japan, I'm looking at you). I forgot that Art of Life and Dahlia were both released on East West Japan which is long gone. So I had to go pick those up on yahoo auctions. I'm also kind of pissed at myself for losing both the out-of-print Aresz EP and Sigh's Scorn Defeat (the cover with the flaming middle finger). I was at work and forgot to check the first one, and I overslept so the second one finished while I was napping. They both were pretty cheap price-wise too. What a shame.


I like Engrish songtitles too. Like Gargoyle has a track called “Come Into Flower.” Whatever that's supposed to mean.


Yeah, that is pretty handy. I kind of just randomly check when I feel like it. It's probably not a reliable way to operate.


Yeah, I'm sure some doujin band has a songtitle that's something really nasty.


Well luckily for me, two of those Gargoyle CDs showed up. Hopefully, the rest won't be too far behind.


Man, August and September are both going to be great. Both Jizue and Uchuuconbini are releasing new albums on the 6th. And then Gargoyle's got their new one on the 27th. Of course, September 24th is going to be amazing too.

I do hope that Jupiter and te' release a full album for 2014. They both put out singles already for this year. It'd be great to have new material.


Yeah, my last fm makes me look like some kind of casual scum right now. Not that it really matters.
