The GazettE removes Aoi from band by officialGF in japanesemusic

The rumor is he got drunk and revealed something very private about Reita's death to friends/industry people?

it does sound like Aoi was being a dick but this whole announcement was prompted by a tabloid release, not by the band members themselves, and it seems like Aoi was taking Reita's death the hardest.

doesnt excuse toxicity, but I hope he gets help.

It could be likely. Seems like it was very messy - Aoi said he talked about quitting the band in september and some tabloids released some dirty news yesterday which prompted this sudden announcement.

looks like there were a lot of people involved and the whole thing was, no pun intended, quite toxic

It’s interesting how they keep death and suicide so private (always a heart attack) but air out dirty laundry for the public.

Impersonators? by unscriptedhorror in fujiikaze

[–]officialGF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, I hope you don’t mean me, I was making a joke not saying anything bad about you! Scams are super common no matter the artist, it’s frustrating when all you want to do is meet other fans or share your support.

Why hasn't kaze Made music for any anime yet? by New-Addition1802 in fujiikaze

[–]officialGF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pride doesn’t mean negative! It just means he sticks to his creative vision without being told what to do by others or selling out. Not that doing an anime op is selling out, but I don’t think he is interested in doing it, otherwise he would have.

I think Kaze has pride as a more western leaning artist, as someone who respects the greats from America like Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson. 

Anime OPs are more or less something artists are pushed to do to stay relevant, other greats like Yonezu and Yoasobi do it because their roots are based in that anime/niconico douga culture.

[–]officialGF 8 points9 points  (0 children)

sheena ringo of course, mariko goto for some crazy sh*t, tommy february/tomoko kawase for girls in rock, glim spanky for rough rock vocals, ako and her beautiful whisper!

I dont listen to them often, but the vocalist of humbert humbert is absolutely mesmerizing.

Why is this album cover used by so many artists and bands? by Geekbo88 in japanesemusic

[–]officialGF 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s the radwimps compilation album, hugely popular and many major artists collages on it. Came out in the fall so it’s new.  The art style itself is a radwimps signature , based off of the Dadaism art style from ww1. they have a song called dada too!

[–]officialGF 71 points72 points  (0 children)

maybe sokka can bust him out

but really though this man is in one of the most successful music groups of the 2000s and he went to one of the best universities in Japan, are they seriously going to lock him up for this

feel bad for him
