Awesome, you have played >1700 bands so far :-) ... I saw you in the "Discovery Leaderboard" section (July 3-9), you are at #2 place there (I am in the Scrobble LB): last DOT fm/user/Jouleken/listening-report/week ... How is life on your position of the Earth at the moment? I guess you also don't go out so much recently in these Corona virus times, same as we here in the German side of the EU ... Protect yourself and let's clean our hands very frequently, and let the music keep us company in these "dark" times

Don't worry, of course you may ask~ It's NCT's Jaehyun and the gif is taken from [N'-17] BEHIND THE POETIC JAEHYUN (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ww5L93juns). Yup, he's stunningly gorgeous, especially with freckles :3

Oh, it’s no surprise on the first year. I dunno how the studies are in Finland (I bet, very different from us), but the first year tends to be the busiest :D and yeah, I’m a bit busy, too. damn the work! XD I changed the job and now work for a Finnish company! The wages are not great, but at least, the company pays all the taxes. so glad to hear you love studying! *__* I don’t meet too many people who do, and it’s always refreshing to know that someone is actually happy with the way they chose in life! Yeah, MUCC’s album could have been a lot better… but I’m still going to Moscow to see them, b/c it’s really been a while xD I’ve heard that sukekiyo are preparing another world tour, so we might actually see them again :) totally disappointed that DEG neglected both Finland and Russia. My cousin is going to Belarus to see them, though. It’s not really far away… but MUCC just HAD TO schedule the gig for May 16 when DEG play on May 17 in Minsk XD no way to attend both D:

Well, I heard that the University of Helsinki is even cooler, isn’t it? I, too, didn’t get into the first uni I was applying to, but then it turned out for the better :) so yeah, good luck with the studies! :D Antemasque always reminds me of ATDI with a bit of Led Zeppelin XD Ced’s probably is getting old, too, so he’s now neck-deep in that oldschool rock XD I still hope they’ll revive TMV at some point, though T_T Hehehe, maybe Kyo’s in love, so he’s all happy and lovey-dovey XD let’s see how long it will last XD Yeah, I hope, DEG will get here too. it’s just unlikely when Kyo’s on a separate tour XD he could at least bring other band members along for a supporting act XD hahaha, true, Karasu is a plain failure XD speaking of, have you listened to the new MUCC album? I still haven’t, but my bro says he only liked 2 songs; others are just… no XD

Ah, I see! Good luck with all the stuff!

XD there was a backstage vid where Omar called Ced ‘baby.’ I almost cried XD Well, probably sukekiyo influences Kyo that way—he did mention that he used to be all depressed, but now he starts to grasp the beauty of the world or smth XD this is why sukekiyo’s sound is so light :) there’s still a long way to go for open-ness, but hey, he’s trying XD

well yeah, Diru really is complicated, one has to really live through them to understand and embrace. I think Mucc are just all pure emotions, you don’t need to be a music expert to live through them. it’s simple yet something you can relate or something XD or maybe b/c Tatsue is extroverted and open for everyone to see, judge, and feed on, and Kyo keeps to himself most of the time XD I resisted sukekiyo till the very end, but my bro literally shoved it in my face and ordered to listen XD I found it rather surprising. I mean, Diru are following the bushido of making everything more and more heavy and complicated, but sukekiyo is a bit like old GAUZE times, in the sense of pop-ness O_o looks like Kyo’s gone through the whole cycle and went back to the roots XD hehehe, I remember Ced throwing a tantrum over Omar’s new projects, like, “I’m not a prog rock housewife sitting at home and watching their partner go fuck other bands” XD but I thought sukekiyo consisted of Diru members?

Hello! :D Long time indeed, but I do get you—studying is a pain in the arse (I still remember that XD). what are you studying btw, if you don’t mind my asking? :D few years usually matter in a young age, the younger—the worse D: but soon it gotta sort out, b/c ppl in their twenties usually start to find common ground and such. TMV haven’t reunited (yet XD) but have you heard? the two dummies (being Omar and Cedric, ofc.) finally settled whatever differences they had and started smth suspiciously resembling a lovechild of Led Zeppelin and At the Drive-In XD not remotely like TMV, but at least they are back together *ugly sobbing* right you are, and besides, ppl may be ordinary in some areas and shine in something else :D there’s a room for talent in everybody, and success hugely depends on whether you chose the best option ;D

XD (that’s what I keep telling myself, at least XD) Agreed, Sustain the Untruth really is something :D I love how their music is so complicated, you can listen to different instruments, and each part is brilliant *__*as for the sounds, I actually quite like it when you need to unwind a whole music net to understand something Oo I haven’t actually done it so far, b/c for me, Diru’s music has this strange effect—they always need to grow on me, and I can hardly listen to the new material until at least a year passes from the release XDD even if I like it! I’ve no clue why it happens all the time, and never occurs with Mucc, for example XD

I hereby set a new record for lateness, so it’s fine XDD well yes, sometimes it takes time to get back to doing stuff together, so hope is never lost :) how old are your sisters, btw? Lonely gigs are only hard at first (like everything else, I suppose XD), but then it’s not even a big deal, once the anxiety goes away! and apart from full concentration, you get the chance to meet other ppl who actually share your tastes. b/c I think it’s generally harder to meet new ppl when you have someone with you already XD that’s what I experience every time I travel to the concerts abroad, b/c I am generally the only one who speaks half decent English among my friends, so it sort of cuts all the possibilities XD you know, I’ve heard some rumours that TMV can actually reunite *__* I so hope it’s true, b/c I don’t really like what Omar does now (esp. with Teri), and I do think he treated Cedric like shit.

yup, the tickets are pretty expensive nowadays, especially if you’re going to see someone Japanese XD and they just won’t go to my city, which makes everything all the more troublesome XD exactly! but almost always it doesn’t feel good enough—as if you were supposed to experience some sort of revelation, but you just get a mere concert instead XD hehe, the Mars Volta did work at the stores, cleaning toilets or something XD they said, once they became famous enough to drop it, they were the happiest people on Earth XD Thanks! hehe, I mostly feel old each time my birthday comes XD like, I’m 21/22/23/24 already, and I still haven’t taken over the world, what is wrong with me XD sorry it took me so long to reply, I was travelling :)

this is just uncommon for Japan, but he can afford it, being all famous :) well, that’s right—we cannot choose our family, so if we happen to be related to someone who does not understand or is not even willing to understand their own kin, that’s really sad. I never felt that I’m anyhow obliged to do stuff with ppl only because they’re my relatives. in fact, I have a lot of relatives I have nothing in common with, and I avoid meeting them at all costs XD I think, if it clicks, it’s great, but this isn’t necessary. what really matters is if you’re surrounded by ppl you like, family or not. I mean, I’ve seen friendships much stronger than any family bond, so it’s different for everyone, I guess. being a loner sometimes helps, b/c you are fully concentrated on music and nothing distracts you :D some time ago I could never imagine going anywhere alone, but a couple of shows proved that I can actually do it XD

life is unfair, what can I say XDD but then again, if you want to go really badly, you might figure out a way—say, a Mucc and a RTS concert would be so worth any trouble XDD well, ofc, the musicians do need money, but the question is if the money is worth not being true to themselves D: one can earn money making crappy music, but I really doubt if that will still be their dream job. same goes to any creative profession, I think. hehe, no one said the RTS copycats were any good XDD they can try all they want, they’re not even close :D

exactly! he’s quite open with his feelings and opinions, he doesn’t really give a damn about politeness (when he can get away with it, lol), he’s wild and crazy and that’s what we love about him, right? :D yeah, I happen to have a very close bond with all of my siblings, not only when it comes to the music. sadly, this is a rare thing nowadays—most ppl can’t believe one can actually do things with their family if they don’t have to D: anyways, it’s not at all bad when you have friends for that XD (I don’t, for example XD) it usually helps if you have a spare day before the gig and a place to stay and sleep. but it’s costly, so we couldn’t afford it at this time of the year XD yeah, precisely! and when the concert starts, it usually takes more effort to enjoy it in full. sometimes the ‘feels’ are still there, but it’s really random, I still haven’t figured out the codependence (if it even exists).

it’s hard for me to suspect Tatsue’s jealous of them XD maybe he didn’t think of them, and I’ve never seen them on the same events, I doubt if they’re acquainted Oo I think Tatsue’s weird personality makes him more understandable for us Europeans XD ‘normal’ Japanese people are so freakishly different from us that an ‘unusual’ Japanese prolly deviates towards what we call normal XD I didn’t listen to Sigur Ros much before the concert, I tagged along with my brother XD I loved the show and the music, but I was so tired after the night bus and the day of walking that I didn’t enjoy it as much as I could D: you know, when everything on the show goes smoothly and you like it, but it sort of doesn’t go deep? it happens to me a lot, even if I’m quite into the artist D: maybe it’s b/c of Saturn being in retrograde or smth XD I haven’t seen mum, either D: I marked the gig as the one I’m interested in, but I had a lot of work to finish before going to Sigur Ros, so I had to choose X_x

yeah, this is why it’s hard to consider them musicians. they rather look like product sellers (which they eventually are) D: a friend told me about a band (I don’t recall the name, but it was some very respected experimental or progressive band, maybe other genre, but it’s hard to tell since I don’t remember XD) that gave up on their contract with the label so that they could do whatever they want and experiment however they like. I suppose, they don’t have a lot of money now, but they chose freedom over wealth, and this is truly remarkable and shows that their passion towards music comes first *_* Tatsue said, it’s rather new bands join labels too quickly, before they mature and create something unique, and after joining there’s almost no chance for them to become less trivial. XD vk’s become too popular, and we all know what comes out of it D: underground music is always much more sincere :( RTS even have copycats already, even though they’re relatively new XD

I remember Tatsue talking about this lack of originality. he said, the fans seem to want "whatever's popular", and the musicians go with that, and there’s no one for Mucc and Co. to feel threatened with. and I thought, wtf, what about Rin Toshite?? aren’t they original and high quality and not influenced by their record label? or is it b/c they’re not VK? I didn’t think it mattered so much, since Mucc’s VK-ness has always been questionable O_o yeah, it was “I am very pencil”, then he seemed to like the joke and repeated it a bazillion times XD I also have no idea what was that for, but I suspect it referred to his favourite T-shirt with pencils XD or maybe I’m wrong, but it’s hard to understand Tatsue, he’s just so unique XD maybe he can, but let’s have some faith in him XD haha, well, appearances are deceptive XD

exactly! even though the record label does have a certain influence on them (the manager can approve or disapprove what they compose), but they’re progressing with each album. there’s next to no bands that manage to remain this stable. (and Mucc are so not in the list, ugh.) hehe, yeah, it’s hard to call them fanboys XD seems that there’s a direct correlation between the quality of the music and the ‘quality’ of the fanbase. when I hear ppl talking about the Japanese music, they usually go like ‘Japan has excellent music… except jrock, of course’ XD b/c yes, most jrock bands are literally impossible to distinguish between. thankfully, we have some exceptions D: yeeeah, let’s not bring up their backstage vids XD b/c poor Yukke! I wonder how he’s been putting up with Tatsue for so long… and he even seems to be enjoying it! XD

Yeah, Tatsue is on a different level—he may not look too handsome, but it makes him stand out. every time there’s a jrock event, there’s a bunch of similarly looking VK japs aaaand hey Tat-chan, I noticed you rightaway XD sometimes I read his tweets and then smile the entire evening :) I somehow don’t think it’s true. I mean, his recent lyrics make the impression that the worst problem he could face was the rejection of some woman. Ppl with such major health issues don’t usually sound like that. Maybe it’s a shallow judgment, but at least I’m optimistic XD btw, Ryuutarou wasn’t a popular guy on Tanuki, ppl say he has weird preferences XD hehe, I remember Yukke said he’d like to visit London again ;D YUKKE KNOWS SHIT

Mucc must have wanted money, so they invited smn big like Ken. Can’t blame them for that (who doesn’t, lol), but you’re right—the music’s become average D: Then again, we can’t say they’re too famous—Diru are way more well-known (and respected, if anything). And I don’t like Mucc’s recent teenage-girl-fanbase. Every time I watch the concerts, there’s hardly any male face in the crowd, as if it’s a Justin Bieber’s concert XD (however, it was the same with their early concerts XD prolly b/c at the time Tatsue wasn’t really fussy about the lyrics, like now. lots of ‘I love you so much’ and ‘I love only you’, lol). Not only makeup, he seems like quite a bully himself XD hehe, seems I got it right, even though I don’t know a thing about Gaze XD I don’t like too much fanservice either, it’s like they think we’re stupid to fall for smth so obviously fake D: and it’s not only about jrock :(

(Ryuutarou is such a good generous friend, I don’t even.) he might have got it or not, but I really felt the urge to punch him in the face for not being careful =_= Germany and France are not as bad as the UK XD I mean, I adore the British, but their country is impossible to get into (at least, from Russia XD). but I’m certainly hoping for smth closer, lol.

You’re sooo right, since Kyuutai it’s been like a downward spiral =_= EXACTLY, it’s fake, awful and so not them it nearly made me cry at first. I’m inclined to blame Ken of L’Arc en Ciel, the producer of both Ageha and Sora to Ito, b/c while the songs/vids have a lot in common, they don’t have much to do with the Mucc we knew… Hehe, I don’t like kids either, but it’ll be Yukke’s kids! it automatically makes them better XD but I’m quite sure uncle Tatsue is capable of turning their lives into a waking nightmare XD I wish they wrote more decent stuff if they even do it. b/c sometimes you come across a fic, and it turns out such crap, ugh. maybe that’s because Gazette are more into fanservice? (just a wild guess, I don’t really know, lol) b/c I’ve never really seen Mucc do fanservice except Yuketsuko (or it just looked more like pranks to me XD). or b/c originally Mucc were too dark and depressive to become the fanfiction inducing type. or maybe Tatsue isn’t ‘cute’ enough XD who knows?

HIV is some serious shit =_= yeah, I was referring to sita tabula rasa :D some ppl suggested that Kyo might have sold his soul while in the hospital XD haha, they just didn’t know where to stop—apparently the re-editing process was too exciting XD I wish they come to our area again D: as well as Mucc, ofc. yeah, especially when he flaps his hair to and fro, it tangles and falls to his face. add the makeup, and here you are XD

I was really disturbed when I first saw it. they’d never been this pretentious and cheesy before imo, and then it started getting even worse :( well, I do hope Yukke finds some time to produce little Yukkies :D b/c even though I’ll totally be jealous too, he can hardly become any softer than he is, and hey, we can’t afford to waste those wonderful genes :D sadly, there’s even fewer fics in Russian D: I can’t remember even one!

Yup, each of them brings smth of their own in music. So if we don’t like smth about the music, we just have to find who to blame XD Well, at least, Diru’s 4 latest albums’ve been incredible when it comes to the rhythm section :D Shinya has been so mathematically precise, and I sometimes hate Toshiya for being so awesome I’ll never learn how to play like him XD Btw, Uroboros is one of my favourite albums too :D As far as I know, Kyo’s already had 2 surgeries D: but have you heard their latest live? he sang like a goddamn canary *_* I think they’re reshaping their old songs b/c they’re bored with them. Older songs were less technically complicated, maybe they think it’s beyond their pride to play such simplicity now ;D it’s nice to hear new arrangements, but I fail to recognize the songs until the very end XD As for the looks, I don’t mind anything which is not Tatsue’s new Ringu-style XD but Kao did look better with straight hair :) Anyway, nothing is hotter than great playing ;D

As for Yukke + foreign women, I’ve recently searched through Jap. Wiki (which has articles on each of Mucc members), and it said that Yu-chan admitted he’d given up on his private life for the sake of the band. Half of my heart was broken into pieces, but the other one was all ‘For Tatsue’s sake, huh!’ XD They complement each other so well that I can’t imagine them separately T_T (I wonder why there’s so few fanfics. I’ve only come across two decent ones; others keep pairing Tatsue with other jrockers. I know he’s sociable, but not to that extent, lol). Also, Miya seems to be keeping an eye on Yukke, which is awfully sweet, but I can only have one OTP per person XD Btw, have you read the LJ translation of their blogs? (it seems to have been frozen, but there’s still lots of material) I love that Yukke pretty much only writes about Tatsue, as if there’s no one else left in Japan XD As for Sato, he has a pretty good relationship with Yukke (… again XD Yukke is such a sweetheart!) :D

I agree, the new song reminded me of Utagoe at times :) I’m also stuck in the past (God know how many times I’ve replayed Houmura Uta since Karma release XD I had to live through it, lol). Umm I somehow failed to take that Mother vid seriously XD I mean, it is such a fabulously ‘colourful’ song, a bit like Aoi Mori (which I adore to no end), and I can’t believe that everything they could come up with was an Apple ad O__O It just doesn’t make sense D: Come to think of it, the budget was quite considerate (given the number of ipads), didn’t they have another way to spend this money? XD Say, Ware, Arubeki Basho budget didn’t seem to be large at all, and still it was a great vid with some deep meaning :( Speaking of vids, I’ve recently re-watched Falling Down, and I hadn’t laughed so hard in a while XD that paedophile innuendo never gets old :D If only they cast some kids as Mucc members, too—it wouldn’t seem so inappropriate, lol XD

I laugh just as hard at half of Mucc's discography XDD they have always been really good at composing really funny music (albeit very catchy), mixing styles that normally don't go together. F. ex., Yuu Beni with its pop-punk-country sound XD and their love for typical oldschool pop harmonies never ceases to amuse me :D I just figured that whatever they do might seem strange, but after some time you get used to it. At first I was pretty disappointed with HALO, but as the time passed, I started listening to it carefully, and found some good new (or not so new) sound in it :D in fact, i like what Diru do now. at least, they really get more and more professional--the sound's getting even better, Shinya's parts are more and more amazing (their rhythm section is a delight, I must say *__*). but I'm sometimes bothered with their coolness overload XD sometimes it seems that you owe them big time just for their very existence :D I never get that feeling with Mucc, though.

I know it's stupid to draw conclusions out of the thin air, but I can't help having such feeling XD

uwaaaah, you’ve just expressed everything I was thinking about, I think I’m gonna cry now! :D yeah, their sound is so pop nowadays (esp. the keyboard. it actually sounds like the worst Russian pop artists back in the 90s, lol). I’ve even come across an interview where Tatsue called their new style ‘pop-metal’ =_= I firmly believe that the ‘pop’ part can ruin everything, whichever genre you take D: the word ‘raw’ is very accurate when it comes to the old Mucc! *_* and now they sound more commercial than straight-from-the-heart. and yeah, the lyrics! Tatsue makes me cry, and not in a good way D: (it seems like he has a ready-made song draft, so that every single song involves some woman he flails about, argh). thank goodness Miya is still on track when it comes to the lyrics. as for the happiness, I had nothing against it in their earlier songs (say, Yasashii Uta, even though I laughed my ass off when I first heard it XD), but now the way they express it really bothers me D:

I don’t think I’ll listen to it much, but at least it has its own style and concept, unlike Shangri-La D: and I agree, their anime songs just make me sick! the new ones too, btw. they sound like any jrock band could write them, there’s almost nothing purely Mucc-ish there D:
