If she used this site, then she probably saw 'spicy' and went 'oh that's an english word', and converted it.
Most likely. No matter how many times we tell them not to use Google先生 they keep at it.

But also, I think kiwadoi has 2 meanings, and the more common one is "vulgar, lewd, indecent’(try doing an image search when you're not at work).
Makes sense, since all the synonyms on that site, with the exception of kougekiteki, fit into that general definition.
Your poor student just happened to chose the one word that puts it in a positive light XD

Since scape's been a bit dead recently, I'm gonna mosey in here and ask a random, stupid question.

Did anyone else realize how daring Gackt was with his Vanilla era hairstyle?

It looked cool when styled well, but he was always one step away from a Sideshow Bob cosplay. One step.
All it took was a bad hairspray and that was the end.

I'm feeling really betrayed atm. VE's supposed to be that weird gay band, right?
Well for all intensive purposes, it seems everbody but Dada are normal human beings.

Like, I dunno. It's like there's a craycray quota for each vis kei band and Dada took all their craycray so everyone else was free to be normal and kinda lazy sometimes?
Even though I don't know them and never will, and I have Hanachan and others, I suddenly feel distinctly alone in my particular weirdness.

Look, it's really for the best. Think of how betrayed I felt when I learned Hirasawa drinks bleach. Sometimes it's better if they're not weirdos XD

Well, I mean, I don't know that they don't drink bleach too. It's in the realm of possibility.

Friends demanded a time-stamped video showing that I'm still alive since I've been a bit MIA.
So I complied. Only after I sent it did I realize that you can see all the empty wine bottles on my desk.
It's at work though, so it's not like I'm drinking alone at home or anything. Should be fine yeah?

Also, where is everyone?

Pretty sure most people would consider that more of a warning sign :lol:
Boozing on the job, probably illegally bought alcohol using a credit card. Many such cases, SAD!

Im not really sure where to put this, but i thought it was worth sharing. So this is an interview with someone who was involved in the vk industry in the 90s, and it's REALLY interesting. Or at least to me, most of this stuff hadnt really crossed my mind.

https://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/642314.html

Snippet (and any idea how many musicians left their VK band to become big in pop? I can only think of one >__>)

TDR: Speaking of major labels . . .Wasn’t there a case where a – a certain musician left his Visual band and became a famous pop star, whose songs sold millions of records? And the musicians in his old band had written some of the songs which turned out to be these hits? And when the musicians complained about not getting paid for these very lucrative songs, they wound up missing or damaged in some way?

SATOH-SAN: I have no idea what you are talking about. (draws finger across throat) Next!

I don't think the musicians ended up "damaged" :lol:
This story turns out to have probably been true - or at least tabloid true. According to reports, it was You from Cains:Feel/GacktJOB who apparently wrote a bunch of Gackt's biggest hits.
I will admit I've never looked the guy up and counted his fingers, however.

Someone posted this article here once before and I still think it's a combination of common knowledge and total fabrications. But then, I also was not following mass-produced bottom-tier VK bands in 2010.

You is doing ok as far as we can tell, should have all his fingers too, he wasnt the one going around saying that he wrote Gackt's music ;)

Please note I did NOT meant that any of that shouldn't be taken with several grains of salt x)

But in the meantime someone pointed out to me that that bit could be referring to Daigo or Ryuichi from Luna Sea ::bleh::
