shocked nobody ever made an artist thread on them-
anyway, i just recently started to get more and more into golden bomber and i CANTTTTT stop watching their mvs theyre just so cool-
i think my fav member is kenji and my fav songs dance my generation
They get hate so not really that loved. It doesn’t help their performances are just more of show, like half of the members don’t really play their instruments. So they are not getting the best vibes from people accustomed to musicianship. They have transitioned from VK to made for TV personalities, so they also get the sell out negativity.
I loved their energy and spark in the early days when they were still coming out. I was drawn into Sho’s singing voice. I still like watching whatever new music video comes out.
from what ive learned, the members of golden bomber dont actually know how to play instruments except shou. so thats why they dance at concerts. i quite like that, theyre like idols lolol. but why do people hate? id love to hear abt their scandals and stuff
I definitely see the charm of the fake musician ship, I mean it is a parody band so it works pretty great.
but like that time where golden bomber “musicians” collebarated with that Visual Prison anime, it felt just like a cheap joke.
I can find enjoyment in GB, a little harmless toothless fun. But GB isn’t generally so well-liked or respected musically bcus some folks feel their whole air band shtick is a mockery of actual [V-kei] musicians and what they do, their instrument practices, techniques, etc. Last I knew though, there are a number of instrument-playing musicians who are at least very cool with them, at least on their face.
Plus, there’s the 1-2 of them that had cheating scandals in more recent years, IIRC that was Jun and… there was some kind of confusion surrounding Sho’s marriage and another lady, wasn’t there? Jun’s affair made news here last year (link). Idk about other scandals with the band though.
P.S. Kenji Darvish is a looker, truly. Friend of mine showed me pages from his calendar that she bought.
