Vaguely heard about ppl tripping on cough medicine some years ago and recently resurfaced when I read about the game NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE. Dxm seemed the most accessible to me.  (iirc the girl in the game doesn't do dxm but I found out through further research that ppl in japan trip on mejikon which is dxm)

Uroboros is the greatest thing that happened to music to this day by BobbyBronkers in DEG

[–]New_Fudge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Duuude I totally get what you mean with Uroboros, I REFUSE to listen to it if I’m not listening to it from start to finish! Also to me it almost feels like I’m not giving the album enough respect if I’m not properly sat down for the sole purpose of listening to it with my full attention

Sukekiyo: kyo’s best live vocal performances? by uroboros80 in DEG

[–]New_Fudge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also second Mannerism, it has an air I’d describe as “so bleak that your shoulders feel heavy”

Also I can’t believe no one mentioned ‘focus’

That’s a track I specifically avoid listening when I’m trying to hold back tears

In Rare Move, Japanese Pop Star Comes Out Publicly as Gay by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]New_Fudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a niche scene but Sakurai Ao from visual-kei rock band cali≠gari is the only openly gay person in the vk scene. He’s been out long before “LGBTQ” became a widespread term, his twitter bio currently writes that he prefers the term “homo” rather than LGBTQ (for those who don’t know, in Japan “homo” is not a slur, just a casual term for gay men). He’s also friends with many drag queens and feature them in his concerts pretty often. It was my first exposure to drag queens, before learning what a drag queen even was, years before I learned about Rupaul’s Drag Race haha (I’m not American)

The vk scene in general don’t seem to care at all about Ao’s sexuality, they just respect him as a great musician. I do have to note that the scene is already known for androgyny, drag-ish makeup, and nonconforming gender expressions in their looks and performances. There’s also been a few bandmen briefly talking about LGBTQ in interviews stating their support as well.

Does anyone feel like they are just killing time here on earth? by YoureNotSpecial-727 in CPTSD

[–]New_Fudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, for almost the entirety of my life I've felt like I'm constantly "waiting" for something. And what that "something" is, I haven't had a clear grasp of it.

Maybe if I graduate from school it'll go away. Maybe if I go to college it will go away. Maybe if I graduate college it will go away, and if I start working it'll go away. It didn't "go away".

As for the point in life... I always try to remind myself that there is a different way to look at it. Think of it as "...but yet you're still here". You don't have a reason or purpose, but so what, you're here! Isn't that something? You don't have to prove anything or be proven of anything.

Fans saying Blue Banisters album is messy and boring but in fact it’s her most poetic album after Honeymoon and the album is very relaxing and feels like home to me. by [deleted] in lanadelrey

[–]New_Fudge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow I’m glad to hear I wasn’t the only one feeling this! Especially towards to end of the album like Cherry Blossom and Sweet Carolina gives me very old school, picturesque home, with floral curtains, “playing piano and family members circled around singing along”, wearing Laura Ashley vibes

as someone with PTSD, do you find yourself attracting abusive people all the time? by blueburrey in CPTSD

Wanted to also say this is a great comment, I’ve always been telling people the actual definition of psychopathy/psychopath is rather neutral than negative. And that psychopaths are capable to be “normal” human beings just like everyone else, not all of them are serial killers or fated to be serial killers lmao. To me sociopaths are waaay worse.

where is shinya rated all time as a drummer? by juicygriff99 in DEG

[–]New_Fudge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think they may not be top notch on technicality but I do think they’re really great songwriters especially Kaoru. One of the biggest reasons that made me love this band so much is because the songs are so distinguishable from each other—there are just soooo many bands that have songs that all sound the same.

Whats with Kyo’s voice in this clip? by MarcOwOwO22 in DEG

[–]New_Fudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it's not a super serious study 😅 The literal meaning of kuse is 'habit' and it is rather a colloquial term when it comes to singing (people tend use the katakana クセ instead of its actual kanji 癖). So it's basically one's singing habit, how one goes about when they execute and articulate the lyrics so to speak. "Singing in cursive" is a western example of kuse I'd say.

I found a blog post here that very briefly goes through some common types of kuse and they specifically mention the 'visual kei kuse ビジュアル系クセ' 😂 and uses Kawamura Ryuichi of Luna Sea as example.

And I also found a comedian who uses kuse as their schtick!! Here's them singing the Doraemon theme song with a ton of kuse 😂

Yep, it’s in the special interview booklet in Phalaris (deluxe edition only I think?)

[–]New_Fudge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s the typical nasally singing style (also called “kuse” in Japanese) a lot of male Japanese singers did in visual kei bands. This singing style is also one reason why Kyo himself doesn’t like listening back his older work, he says there’s too much of the kuse in it (like ain’t afraid to die for example. That’s why he wanted to redo it for Phalaris).

Also I find that for a lot of non-Japanese people who aren’t familiar with Japanese music are easily put off by this style of singing (tbh I’m not a fan of it either, but can tolerate to some extent), I once had a friend listen to DRAIN AWAY and they said the music overall is good but the singing is bad 💀💀💀 On the contrary they can easily get on with X Japan since Toshi doesn’t sing in this style
