once you do a hard mental work of overpassing the idea of it being ( partly ) organized in USA, it’s actually pretty cool to be honest. Teams participating for the first time, gaining points or scoring goals, and my country doing a nice job so far 
also supporting japan, and SK, and netherlands, and Brazil and France ( and Irak and Iran and Curaçao and Cape verde for the respect engaging effort and emotional background ) is much fun !

Yeah, being Mexican its absolutely a different feeling. Just pure passion even if our team isn’t as good as before.

Joining other music communities is scary! I tried to join a Beach Boys discord, poked around for a few minutes, then got kicked because they assumed I was a bot 
I went back in waving my white flag and they let me in, but boy was that distressing!

Reminds me of when I was playing Buck-Tick’s Sexual XXXX, and my ex asked me why Empty Girl sounded like a Beach Boys song.
I think it‘s cool to see small, lesser known countries in the world of football like cape verde, haiti, the congo, jordan or curaçao play (some for the first time). Other than that yeah, I agree that it is pretty lame so far. Maybe my euphoria will finally kick in tonight as croatia is going against england but I doubt it. I think that england will rip us a new one and hope that they do xD i would like for japan, the netherlands or england to win the tournament.

TRUE BLUE came on shuffle today, and my girlfriend acted like she’s never heard it in the 7 years we’ve been together. Jfc.
The voice of Lilo from Lilo & Stitch and Chihiro from Spirited Away died. She was 35.

She also played Samara Morgan in the american “The Ring” Remake. I still remember the huge media buzz when she was a teen - “OMG the scary little girl from the well is super pretty!”
It’s really sad. Seems like she had many problems during her last years (ED, drug abuse,…) and was initially admitted to the hospital recently for malnutrition. And now there is also some trouble due to a GoFundMe campaign that, as it states in there, her boyfriend started for her. But her family and former manager are claiming they don’t know him and there is enough money in a trust account set up at SAG to cover all costs.

I wonder if there is any active diy groups who makes fan items for vk. Like those long keychains with the names on them.

Happy Father’s Day to all dads, dads to be, furdads, father figures and everyone who has stepped in in place of dad. Elmo’s late dad was sick for most of my life and I appreciate everyone — including the bands — that have carried a light in my life in place of him.

Damn its quiet in here… (I mean the jrock/vk scene).
The “best” you get as a fan today… is some unknown band’s twitter drama.
Is this how a scene slowly but steadily dies? Are we experiencing it live? Not saying it to be a hater or anything, damn Ive been a hardcore fan since late 90s. Will the last nail in the coffin be when DeG announces their disbandment? Feels we are getting less than 3-5 interesting releases in a year now + that and us trolling yoshiki hanging with american celebs.
Just some random thoughts… but not happy writing this
Pretty sure you say these things fairly often man

Yeah maybe thats true, this is one of the few hobbies I still have so I might mention it here and there, forgive me not meaning to bring bad vibes. I am trying to do my best at least and go at as many lives for small bands as possible 
But the last banger from South East Asia is Henry Lau’s latest single. Hope I can say the same about a Japanese release soon!
So much cali≠gari merch I have my husband wearing it

Yeah I agree I have “worried” enough about the scene on this forum by now. Peace man!
By the way anyone who follows the world cup? Its a pleasure to follow Japan, they are the real underdogs.
