Random Thoughts: The Return

Local Boomer (or a proxy) posts a rather low-quality rip of his demo tape:

It seems Retired Luminary didn't write any of the songs here and was relegated to second guitarship. There are some interesting moments in here but on the whole this is rough - particularly the vocals.
Supposedly (supposedly) Mana was interested in this at the time. I can kinda-sorta see why, between the choice of clip art, the dual guitars, and some of the flair on the A-side.

Tempted to go out to wherever-it-is to see this bizarre and terrifying movie this weekend

Ugh dear god, I saw one of these on YouTube the other day that included one of my 15 year old postings. The worst feeling! Although the video was pretty funny so that made up for it.
"What happened to Klaha?"
I hope they just put that clip of Gackt saying "Oh yeah, they all died" XD

watch that video inspire registrations lol
We get tons of registrations of people who are apparently real but never post anything, not even spam. I have no clue why.
Right? I can't say we're a particularly active enough site for lurking unless you're going to be sifting through the heyday of a decade plus ago for malice tidbits or something lol
It's official - Local Boomer, Retired Luminary, and possibly one of Mana's old bandmates are booked for an authentic live in Osaka on October 21:

Cooool. Is he in the photograph?
The fact that they pasted in a separate photo for "him", and only 4 out of 5 members are in the group photo, indicates maybe not XD But I really have no idea. There have been a couple other group photos at the studio but it's never clear just who is who. I think the guy in the baseball cap is Shige-chan (ex-Girl'e) and of course the guy in the waifu t-shirt is our indefatigable drummer.
Really the first time this photo was posted I thought it was studio staff or something.

Didn't we surface in another exposé a year or so ago?
This is clearly a sign that I need to put more effort in to creating outrageous rumours and muddying the waters for future generations.
Did you guys hear about the two years Klaha spent in a South Korean jail after trying to smuggle e-meters into the country?
I heard it was less of a jail and more of an etiquette school
So, anyone remember that social activist turned hateful misanthrope, Debito?
Despite supposedly theatrically renouncing his US citizenship at an embassy some decades ago, apparently he moved back to the US and became a professor in California.

Returned from a brief trip to London and Paris that mostly involved me getting completely rolled at every turn 
But I did get to see this pair of Japanese plays with @faith on Tuesday night: https://philharmoniedeparis.fr/fr/activite/spectacle/26534-theatre-no-et-kyogen?itemId=130109

Paris is so fun, I can't wait to go back honestly.
Today/tomorrow's the day/night. Wonder if we'll get any clips.
EDIT: probably not, but we did at least get a couple photos.
Seems like they had some last-minute member changes (I assume this is what the "drama in the LINE group" was about) and they went onstage minus one guitarist (I think) and a girl vocalist.
I'm reasonably convinced that our Retired Luminary is the guy on the right in both photos. The only one with a whit of fashion flair, and he's confirmed to be a guitarist.

The heck. I somehow ended up with something like a boyfriend I dunno oops I guess.
That, with my job, made me forget entirely about scape.
Since I only went on nitter/twitter to read shuva and mana stuff I haven't been on that for 4 months either and WHAT HAPPENED.
Why is there some lame gif when I open it and why are the posts all jumbled up and in no chronological order whatsoever.
Hanachan says Musk. But even Musk must have some...reason...behind making it all so awful....right?

^nah, seems like he doesn't, he's just all around awful. feels like every time he gets called out on something, he just throws a tantrum and takes it out on twitter. twitter is borderline unusable for me now unfortunately.
it is interesting though how people still seem to use twitter a lot in japan (just based on talking to people and observing what social media platform people are looking at on the trains).
and speaking of which, i had an eventful time in tokyo. i got to see the jvm show (that was amazing), kaya's cafe noir show (incredible), and e// +z (with two other bands. the first band was okay, kozi's set was cool. the band after him was... interesting.)
