The special announcement is that KAMIJO will be the ambassador of the festival, whatever that means. (Followed by a zoom interview with Bertrand, KAMIJO and a french translator of them reminiscing of their 19 years working together)
And our audition winners are, to no one’s surprise, I to Rito no Mushozoku!
this and pseudo woke people accusing him of the Pword because of a photoshoot he did with Gulu Gulu/ his outfits and overall aesthetics linked to uniform and school bags etc
honestly ? it was more about that picture of him looking at the girl’s skirt/stickers on his guitar or whatever it was ( i don’t remember and don’t wanna ) and yada yada but SJWs on Twitter tried too hard to connect dots and were like, oh on top of this picture he always have ponytails, oh on top of that he always wear a children school bag, and that’s how the witch hunt started. my two cents on this is that if they were a bit aware of how alternative music genre like rock/punk/metal try to use shock value to denounce things and transmit a message , ( and also, just huh read gulu gulu’s and KTK lyrics.. ) instead of coming from american pop/korean pop and applying their dogmas and logic to VK, that would have never happened but yeaaay
I have downloaded the archive and cut out the pauses, but youtube still flags it for copyright and won’t let me upload it. Is there any way I can share it on here?
Edit: it finally uploaded, just after writing the message Here is it, hopefully it will stay up: https://youtu.be/I4i_cUNv7uE
FInally caught up with the livestream. Sugar, and Orseas were okay. Mama vocals/mixing live was disappointing, dude was really struggling.
Nyx was unique with their mandarin lyrics, and it sounded a little like kiryu. Then I saw the drummer and got very confused for a sec (wait a minute…it IS kiryu /jk)
Akai Yurei was the gem of the event. Visually striking concept (for various reasons, Kirby gave me a fright ngl). I did not expect yumeleep’s ex bassist to have some of the most stable/powerful voices in the whole taiban. Distinct, fun and refreshing set. Oh, and they had JJBA Golden Wind playing on their laptop during the show…??
