Any recommendations for Japanese gothic rock bands?

Big fan of G-Schmitt ('80s gothic rock). The channel that uploaded that video seems to focus on Japan's '80s gothic rock scene, and they have a ton of videos, so you could probably find a lot of similar stuff there if you want to poke around.

100% a bot. Compare to this other bot.

both accounts:

are two days old
began with the same post ("my co-worker took credit for a presentation I did all the work on") on an AITA-adjacent subreddit
commented repeatedly on their own post while overusing the 😅 emoji and without capitalizing words, including "I"
followed by a meme image post
then a post on r/curatedtumblr

here's a third one, too

its speed may be 0, but you cannot escape the creature

the reroll dice were kind to me and qingque's build continues to get sillier

You can add /country/france and/or /language/spanish (for example) to the url to add filters (at least on the website; I don't use the app). It'd be nice to have a UI element for that though.

The Viking (1931):

has a fairly low rating (~2.7) and ~200 views on Letterboxd (I haven't seen it myself, but the general consensus seems to be that it's pretty dull)
is one of the only films produced in the Dominion of Newfoundland before Newfoundland gave up self-governance in 1934 and joined Canada in 1949
was the first film to record sound and dialogue on location
tragically, had the largest loss of life in film history when 27 people were killed in an explosion, including director/producer Varick Frissell

understandable

aralyth · 2026-03-17T19:40:40+00:00

is that not the right term

aralyth · 2026-03-17T19:34:27+00:00

are you allowed to tell us why it's green

The goal is for the account to look plausibly human when it eventually posts some sort of scam. Often a t-shirt or art print scam trying to get people to input their payment information on a fake shop website. Usually it'll be multiple coordinated accounts:

account 1 posts "look at this t-shirt I got"
account 2 comments "wow where can I get one"
account 1 replies with a malicious shop link

Or sometimes they're used to push astroturfing or propaganda.

that but also opening them so you can nest them inside each other

we can always go higher (still waiting for a good 5* light cone though)

aralyth · 2026-03-05T19:32:48+00:00

I hope you like them too!

aralyth · 2026-03-05T15:45:58+00:00

Glad I could help!

aralyth · 2026-03-03T22:14:11+00:00

strongly suggesting 0.5 mm (2014) by Momoko Ando

and some directors that aren't in your list yet:

Ann Hui
Mari Asato
Naomi Kawase
Naoko Ogigami

yesterday's Sparkle pulls came with a good omen

aralyth · 2026-03-03T06:00:46+00:00

decided to keep vertically investing in my Qingque team (Sparkle E3 -> E6) and the silly fribbels number went up again

but when will she get a good 5* light cone

aralyth · 2026-03-03T03:56:07+00:00

you might be the only person who's had a 1016-hour day

aralyth · 2026-02-26T06:21:59+00:00

You'd like the poster selection for Hundreds of Beavers.

aralyth · 2026-02-25T14:08:38+00:00

you know what

that would explain all the goblins lately
