It annoys the shit out of me when people turn Plastic Tree (and to an extent Malice Mizer) into the next "you're not a real fan if you like these bands" kind of thing.
Both bands are objectively good I don't see the problem
vkei fans who dont know who Kiyoharu is are the same as Edgar Allen Poe goths who don't know who Vincent price is
this is not an insult! this is an invitation to get to know some vk history because p much all of your favs came from kiyoharu. hes the man who did everything first.
once again, this was a fest with like 6000 attendees with a wide variety of experiences and expectations. For an event of this size, it's unrealistic to assume that everyone is on Twitter or knows how Japanese lives work. I'd guess that the majority didn't even know what furi is
i think so too. gackt and kozi have their music on stream but malice doesnt. seth has his solo music and other bands on stream but mdm doesnt. even schwarz stein didnt put their first albums on stream but kaya and hora did 🤔 the issue rly seems to be mana and his management.
Yeah no, this is clearly not entirely the deal.
Some bands are re-sharing everything and some want the videos and photos down.
Next time ASK THE BANDS what they want and announce it like you did for LM.C for every band allowing or not the making of media during the show!
During the live Tsuzuku talked about how he felt though he still doesn't know what to feel about the situation with the band, but one thing's for sure is to enjoy the present, right now, as if there is no tomorrow. He had such an intense look as he spoke so I tried to draw it
ngl i wish older vkei bands would understand that the only reason they have fans At All outside of japan is because of piracy and you cant be proud of having an international fandom while complaining about piracy in the same breath. i was here when they used to piss and shit bc
You should probably specify the bands because there are bands that did want recordings at the end like Despa, KIZU or Jiluka. This post is probably gonna cause a bigger mess between some people
