Well, it's not like this merch is made exclusivly for Velvet Eden, it's premae stuff with a Velvet Eden pirnt, which I thinks talks a lot for Velvet Eden being a small band...
That's true but it's the way that Dada sometimes complains about how he can't sell CD's to countries other than Japan & Russia but it is possible with sites like this one (my friend does one for Haunted Mansion based stuff).

Also by bigger band I don't mean major success I meant very few people knew of them (or had listened to them) and very little information existed (before there was about 2 fansites and now there are dozens...though most are those blogspot made ones). I know they're now a major name band, as it seems from people on Last.fm that the company who prints the first two albums are no longer doing so due to less demand.

Because all of those things just cost me 40$ I'm no that angry...but I still would've prefered to pay more and get them i really good condition. And I hope this was just an exception and that Dada will release stuff in Japan from now on...

Yeah I hope so too. I don't really mind if it's from Japan or Russia I just want it in better condition. At least shipping from Russia is quicker and less expensive I guess.

Oh dear...no, I'm not closing it. The plan is to leave what is there, but not add anything else unless it was printed before 2002 (and interests me). I know there are people like you who still appreciate the site and it SUCKS when people take down sites you like.

If you PM me the links I will try to get them working again :)

Okay, so after looking into this it seems the site was hacked...poorly. The person was trying to redirect to a site hosted on the rr.nu domain and messed up their code so it just gives an error instead. Dumbass XD

I dunno if anyone goes to the site, but don't until I say it's ok again.

Dreamhost said someone had gotten into the domain by figuring out the password a month ago, but that they had blocked it before it could do anything. Obviously they didn't...

It should be fine though. I have all the files backed up on a USB somewhere. So I'll just reload the site to what it was a couple years back.

I keep meaning to scan all those VE pictures properly... I seem to remember taking terrible pictures of them on my mattress with a digitcal camera and then uploading them here, and then I would randomly stumble across them on sites I didn't know... I could instantly recognize them because my mattress was clearly in the background :lol:

XDDDDDD I never understood why people steal pictures, I mean it's okay to have them in your computer and stuff but reposting them to have "internet fame" or something like that is quite stupid. Can I know what VE pictures they are?

They're a bunch of pictures of VE and Rudolf Steiner (and possibly Lurid Aqua) live shows, Dada doing various drag queen events with Margret (I think Faith spread some light on te subject), the VE members on and off the stage, and Dada going to 7-11 in a thong, you know, normal VE pictures. I bought them from Kurai back in the day for about $15 thinking it would just be pics on a CD, but he gave me originals @_@ A bunch were on Buried Alive for a while (With permission~)

Tell me about it, that mattress became internationally known and I just couldn't keep up with the glitz and glamour, so we parted ways last March when Memory Foam came into my life @(・●・)@

Sorry, those aren't for sale yet ^^; But I'll consider scanning them with a regular scanner~ ::cop::

Your photos are still there and you're credited in the "BLAAAARRRGGH" section of the gallery, for what it's worth :)

Thank you~ You're the only site that I gave permission to! =D If I send you higher quality scans, you should put the Dada tree in the corner or something as a watermark~

EDIT:

For anyone curious, I translated the Siberia song from the original lyrics... It doesn't sound like Dada changed them:

大瀧詠一 wrote:
哀しみの裏側に 何があるの?
涙さえも凍りつく 白い氷原
誰でも心に冬を
かくしてると言うけど
あなた以上 冷ややかな人はいない


What lies on the other side of sadness?
A white, frozen field where even tears freeze
It is said that everyone hides winter in their hearts,
But there is no one with a colder heart than yours

君の手紙読み終えて 切手を見た
スタンプには ロシア語の小さな文字
独りで決めた別れを
責める言葉探して
不意に 北の空を追う

I finished reading your letter and looked at the stamp
It had small words on it written in Russian
You decided we should separate on your own,
And while I tried to find words to blame you,
Without knowing it, I began heading to the northern skies


伝えておくれ 十二月の旅人よ
いついついつまでも
待っていると

Please, oh please tell this traveler of December
that you will wait for me forever and ever...

この線路の向こうには 何があるの?
雪に迷うトナカイの 哀しい瞳
答えを出さない人に
ついてくのに疲れて
行き先さえ無い明日に 飛び乗ったの

What is coming towards this railroad?
The sad eyes of reindeer, lost in the snow
I have grown weary of approaching people with no answers
And I rode onward to a future without so much as a destination

ぼくは照れて 愛という言葉が言えず
君は近視 まなざしを読みとれない
疑うことを覚えて
人は生きてゆくなら
不意に 愛の意味を知る

Shy as I am, I don't say words like "love"
And you can't see deep enough to read between the lines
I remember my doubts, but as long as people are alive,
they know what love is, deep in their hearts

伝えておくれ 十二月の旅人よ
いついついつまでも
待っていると

Please, oh please tell this traveler of December
that you will wait for me forever and ever...

Ah thank you for your translation I am adding it to my itunes :D Sorry for so much questions but I always was curious about : Where does this image come from? (the image of Kalm and his cat on his shoulder) I always wanted to buy the magazine so I could get the picture and you are the best people to ask it to haha

Those lyrics are very beautiful. Not exactly funny, but beautiful.

Sorry, unfortunately I don't have many magazines with VE pictures... ^^; I have some clippings somewhere that a friend gave me but I haven't looked at them in a while >_< I think Faith knows a lot more about the magazines than I do :)

I love Enka lyrics, they make Kyo's "zetsubou" sounds more like "minor annoyance". I was going to throw in a random line about spiders and a fortune teller marionette, but I thought that was getting too creative with the lyrics... Maybe in VE-land the letter is from Alice and the singer is Madame Tarantula? Is Dada still doing that storyline anymore?

Dada uploaded part of the new La Fin. Soon they've made every possible version of that song... or maybe Dada' s sitting on a rap version too... oh wait, he said he couldn't keep up with the old one, so probably no... ._.
And it's Abexx birthday today.

Faith, could you upload the 3rd era lyrics and Karesusuki?

Hey I always wondered this. Who is the one who uploaded the Doomed Love Live? Since it isn't in the Sad Mask VHS.

Dada might actually know, I heard he is pretty friendly on FB and likes peoples' pictures and stuff (He liked one of my comments in the past) so he might actually answer your question :) There's a lot of random stuff floating around from Dada... I got the alternate version of Kumo Onna and the song Utsukushisa wa Tsumi from Kurai back in the day, but I have no idea where those actually came from. He gave me his original copy of the tape (It was just a VE mix tape) and told me he got it from someone who knew Dada and went over his house to watch VE live concerts and stuff, but I have no idea if that's true or not. It also had the Kalmia tracks on it and a live that was supposedly Kalm-related (Lurid Aqua?), but Arison and I couldn't find any information on it, no matter how hard we searched, so we dismissed it into the "We don't know what this is" folder and didn't really talk about it again. There are also some random Kalm pictures that I received that we couldn't place, but Kurai said they were Lurid Aqua. Sorry, there's really no concrete information here at all ^^;
