i am so curious how is every day life without having a phone. like i genuinely want to know. i wish i could be without one so badly because it is tedious to be connected 24/7 
when i visited i loved the lan su chinese tea garden!! there was something so serene about just relaxing with some tea and taking everything in.
i also liked tokyo sando but i am a sucker for katsu sandwiches. there’s also a beautiful japanaese garden but i have not gone to it!

Lmao I probably could’ve worded that better 
I do have a phone, but the camera isn’t particularly good and therefore I can never get nice pics from concerts I go to. But I don’t want to buy a ridiculously expensive phone because it’ll be outdated in a few years.
A friend of mine sometimes bans herself from using her computer and phone for a day. She cleans her apartment, goes for a walk, reads or does craft projects. She says those days make her feel really productive.

If you’re feeling really overwhelmed by social media etc then it’s definitely worth trying, even for just one day. 
I imagine it’ll get easier the more you do it (my friend has said that she has to stuff her laptop into a cupboard to make sure she won’t get tempted to use it, but it works if she doesn’t see it )

be in a metalcore band and not be a pedophile challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Well at least we can thank Crossfaith for reminding us that creeps exist on both sides of the Japanese music scene.

i can’t even imagine being a teenager/being a parent to a teenager nowadays. too many perverted weirdos out there with internet access, it’s horrifying

I wonder if this’ll open the floodgates and expose a bunch more situations like these. Like, I hope not, so that there wouldn’t be any more victims, but realistically it’s surely happening behind the scenes

I think Japanese people will never be ready for the simple fact that uwu lolicon and “her body may be looking like she’s a child but she’s 3000 years old” in their fantasies is as horrible as an actual pdf.

I believe in the GazettE C-side single supremacy
thinking about how fulfilling it has been to archive historical things, even if it’s just in my own time and with inexpert abilities. i am preserving things!

I like to use C-side to refer to like,
It’s not the A-side, that gets the PV and ends up on the album
But when there’s a multi-version single, and there’s one track that’s accompanying all versions, that’s the B-side
But if a track changes or is only on one of the versions - that’s the C-side!
Uhhh a D-side would be if it doesn’t actually exist on any version and the bandguy’s just like, loosely describing it to you…
An E-side is a particular whispering of the wind on the leaves that kinda sorta reminds you of your honmei

I don’t even know how to go about saying this, but like…I’ll just say my SO is moving to the land down under and our relationship is ending after 8 years and about a year after getting engaged. I lost the person I was at the beginning of the relationship but that one has to die too so I can evolve and not be stagnant so I’m in the process of transforming myself because like even the more at the beginning of this relationship had extreme social anxiety, he was a recovering hikikomori, etc. I want to grow for myself and if love comes back then that’s cool but I need to do this for me and not as some way to get her back. We’re both co-dependent so this is something we both need as much as it will hurt but also she holds a lot of resentment so like she’s very hot and cold when it comes to how she’s been around me so I’m having emotional whiplash quite frankly. I don’t know if it’s apres po or not but the soundtrack to his journey has been DIMLIM, Kala, BUTTERFLY SCISSORS, etc. Living three months with someone who you may never see again and someone you love dearly is such sweet torture.
I’m just trying to make them fun for both of us the best I can and make some good memories. Friend’s any kind of a support system would really come in handy right now. The prospect of living alone at 35 and or starting over again after 8 years at 35 is quite frankly terrifying since I’ve never lived alone before; went straight from taking care of my grandparents to moving in with my SO. Some good energy would be appreciated.

On another note I’ve been talking to Kala and I asked him how Retsu has been and he’s doing okay even if he’s radio silent. He told me he wants BUTTERFLY SCISSORS to be a side project since his solo project which is taking off, (he’s done an anime opening even) assuming he can get Retsu to stick with it.

I’m sorry for you, that indeed sounds like a very difficult and emotional exhausting situation.
But I think it’s great that you decided that this separation seems to be inevitable for your own sake and act accordingly. To acknowledge something like this takes a lot of strength. Combined with your willingness to grow let me think that you are going to be okay 
Starting over is terrifying, but sometimes needed to make space for something better. I hope you have family and friends who support you.
Best of luck to you!
