Discussion about politics? How tf is translating the flyer from a previous post you didn’t delete as well a discussion? Other people started the discussion. All I did was post the link to his party’s OHP and the facts that are there. Nothing but a translation. This doesn’t even make sense, LOL.

again, about nightmare Sendai Kamotsu…

Igaguri Chiba will be appointed Osaki City Fire Department Chief for a day! This is in Miyagi, Sendai (Of course).

Fans will get to see him in a firefighter’s uniform.

Incredible. I wonder if the regular firefighters will be like ‘who is this guy??’ lol

I had the same thought, until I saw this post by Chiba the other day:

Today, at the Osaki Welfare Dream Festival (?) held in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, a huge picture drawn by local manga artist Ono-san was put on display and it was so cute!
I’m so happy :sparkles:

I guess he’s considered their ambassador or mascot at this point :rofl:

I wanted to reply earlier because I was so hyped that there’s an additional vkei connection to Romancing SaGa! I got to know the game via Tomomi Kobayashi’s spectacular concept art for the games.

For those of you who don’t know, Tomomi Kobayashi is also really well-known for her Buck-Tick doujin and is a huge, huge fan of Atsushi Sakurai.

And now…Ayame’s also credited in the latest SaGa game released, the modern reboot to RS2:
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven!

This means a lot to me as RS2 has one of my favourite characters, Wagnas. Also very closely based on Atsushi Sakurai, likely.

Another mention of Visual Kei (more specifically Malice Mizer and Mana sama) in Fashion Subcultures in Japan, Valdimarsdótti, I. Guðlaug (2015).

Found this while searching for something els.

Hakuei (Penicillin) was clearly an inspiration for Yuki Kaori’s Manga Ludwig Kakumei. :laughing: That’s the title character Ludwig btw. Even has a similar hair color to how Hakuei’s hair looks in this photo.

Oh boy, do I remember that. The day ofしゃるろっと’s concert in Rio is one I’ll never forget. I was really pissed I was working that day and missed PSYGAI opening for them.

Which one was that? On Orkut?

Admins, we need a react button. :smiling_face_with_tear:

I’ve never been a fan of oshare kei, but I enjoyed them live. Full of energy. To this day I can’t believe their vocalist has passed; he was so young!
