THE LAST ROCKSTARS

Collapsed because of high concentration of biggidy biggidy bang bang bang in his blood

I guess the fun is over now, press isnt really caring about them anymore or right now. Yoshiki needs to be in the spotlight constantly. How can he get back to the spotlight? Its everything for him.

Fingers crossed the Y-man gets well soon and/or doesn’t overexert himself. As much as I like to clown on him, I hope he sticks around for a long time and gives some more joy to his fans in the form of new music (I guess all this death in the scene lately has made me a bit sentimental, haha).

in the end of the day TLR is less of an band, and more a brand synergy thing-y to sell random songs from different unrelated projects

Let’s hope the mix was at least done during the day and they didn’t spend ~one night in paris~
:face_in_clouds:

in hindsight do you think the last rockstars was a smart move by yoshiki who is the man behind it, who used his senpai power to gather the members? Has it been a succesful project for everyone involve? How important and relevant are they in the VK/jrock scene?

Considering how 3/4 of the setlist are not even original songs from the band, but covers of the individual musicians, I think it was just an attempt of old men slowly becoming irrelevant in “their scene” they used to dominate and to promote their own music with a big (domestic) PR hype behind it.
For me the hype was only like 2 days long and they haven’t been releasing anything for too long and not adapted enough to recent trends (tiktok/virality) to stay relevant in a now short lived music scene.

This feels like the most random thing, but I guess that means we’ll get a studio version of this relatively soon??? Excited to hear it? The middle of this song is kind of confusing in this recording, but I think it’s promising

If you follow Tekken community, you’ll know that this is just how Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken Project Director) acts in-general, plus isn’t MYV had some connections inside Bandai Namco? his label perhaps? Anyway i won’t be surprised if Harada invite them to his podcast (Harada’s Bar)

hyde con l’arc made “don’t be afraid” with a VR special for RESIDENT EVIL as well. With DMC it was Hyde’s solo single “MAD QUALIA” (in the European version it did not appear in the game, I think it is a Japanese exclusive)

Both Capcom properties and yet this is Bandai Namco. Weird.

Oh they altered the lyrics; and some parts of the song.

That middle part in particular - isn’t that a passage from that song that Yoshiki was working on with that guy (Yoshi, I believe) that passed away during the XY auditions?

L’arc en Ciel also did a song for DMC4 - Drink it Down. I read briefly somewhere that Hyde was actually a fan of the franchise. Not sure if that’s true though. So that’s two for DMC/Capcom.

Japan’s No.1 Yoshiki Stan, Shinya-dir-en-grey, went to see The Last Rockstars, and took some pics
