Jun 1, 2017 at 12:48 PM - crimsonknight4: ["If you're so troubled then ill give you some advice!" yelled a salesguy. "If you can resolve it with money its not a trouble! Idiot!" I wonder how much of a troubled face i was making?]
Jun 1, 2017 at 12:49 PM - crimsonknight4: good luck getting google to translate that for you lmao

 

Jun 1, 2017 6:40 PM - Ray: Thank you CK4! If all go's well, and with a bit of luck I can audit Japanese 1 next semester (IF the class isn't full) UofL offers Japanese 1 thru 5 so if I do well I may be able to tour Japan and actually read the subway map!

 

Jun 3, 2017 at 5:44 AM - Ray: So.....It is almost one year since Erica decided to quit. No effort has been made to find a ne lead singer. It is almost half a year since Shiho-san left abruptly in he middle of "Japan Expo Rocks" and nearly five months since she disapeared without a word. I think it is now safe to say that y'all can stick a fork in Draft King.. It's done, and not coming back. I wish the girls well in the next pr
Jun 3, 2017 at 5:45 AM - Ray: Project
Jun 3, 2017 at 7:28 AM - J-Becker: Well they always mentioned in their blog that they are not going to disband Draft King but it also true that girls need money and DK not making any progress for a year and not released any album (only couple of single DVD's) in 4 YEARS!
Jun 3, 2017 at 7:32 AM - J-Becker: Shiho hasn't seen on twitter for months. So i doubt she is in depression or anxiety. Either its something like tendonitis or cancer.
Jun 3, 2017 at 7:37 AM - J-Becker: Hope she'll get well soon. Nohana and Mao probably going to join Kana as support members now. She mentiones that in her last tweet.
Jun 3, 2017 at 10:34 AM - Ray: After Shiho-san left in the middle of "Japan Expo Rocks" Draft King was over as a branded act. There is just no way they get large scale sponsors in Japan after that.
Jun 3, 2017 at 10:40 AM - Ray: Without sponsership you cannot run a road band at any leval. Hell @J-Becker; It takes north of 3000$ USD just to move a rock band + gear a few hundred kilometers, ONCE , If you do it more often than once a month it takes a FAT bank. DK no longer has that.
Jun 3, 2017 at 10:43 AM - Ray: They may never "disband" but as a touring act they are OVER. Honestly I don't feel that Shiho will be back. Draft king is now just two women who are working as back up players for old friends.
Jun 3, 2017 at 10:46 AM - Ray: I hope that in a year they come back with a new name and new faces. But I will be as shocked to see a 2018 Draft King headline as I would be to see a 2018 Stereopony marque.

 

Jun 3, 2017 at 5:32 PM - DSteele: Woaaaah this is really good. http://jmusicpv.com/1741/aimer-us-pv
Jun 3, 2017 at 9:18 PM - DSteele: Happy Birthday @rsniteblaze
Jun 3, 2017 at 10:35 PM - Ray: I love Mao-san and Nohana San in traditional cloathing.
Jun 3, 2017 at 10:39 PM - Ray: I think that there IS a new band. You still have Mao-san, Nohana San, Kana-san, and new "other" players minus the stigma of the DK brand. It keeps everybody touring and alows everyone to "save face". Thats a BIG "win win"
Jun 3, 2017 at 10:42 PM - Ray: Untill this AM reading Nohana-sans twitter and seeing the band photo I didn't realize that it was the same group of players. Just reorganized and rebranded
Jun 3, 2017 at 10:44 PM - Ray: Its the same people that drank beer and sake under the sakura tree. Only the name was changed to protect the inocent
Jun 4, 2017 at 6:42 AM - J-Becker: @Ray Yeah, I also noticed too.Also that drummer Mirai was the guy who joined them as support drummer during Japan Expo Rocks.
Jun 4, 2017 at 6:42 AM - J-Becker: Btw Aimi sharing posts from Taiwan.
Jun 4, 2017 at 6:43 AM - J-Becker: Also Happy Birthday Rsniteblaze !

 

Jun 5, 2017 at 3:09 AM - Ray: Can anyone tell me the name of Kana-chan's new band?
Jun 5, 2017 at 3:59 AM - Arcluna: I think it's just a solo project- i.e. Just her name
Jun 5, 2017 at 4:00 AM - Arcluna: I got a gtx1080TI and even in just a razer core and stealth...ultra settings are beautiful
Jun 5, 2017 at 4:34 AM - crimsonknight4: correct
Jun 5, 2017 at 4:38 AM - Ray: Thank you!
Jun 5, 2017 at 4:42 AM - Ray: I take it that a " GTX1080" is some kind of device?
Jun 5, 2017 at 5:11 AM - J-Becker: @Ray Yeah, its a graphic card.
Jun 5, 2017 at 5:13 AM - J-Becker: Also Kana doing solo project but i saw her also working with a retro themed band thing. Dunno if it was her new band or not.
Jun 5, 2017 at 5:14 AM - J-Becker: Yep this one ---->https://twitter.com/wabisavita
Jun 5, 2017 at 5:15 AM - Cake's a lie: >Only running one 1080
Jun 5, 2017 at 5:15 AM - J-Becker: You can find their youtube video on that link too(with Eng Sub)
Jun 5, 2017 at 6:01 AM - Ray: Again; Thank's!!

 

Jun 5, 2017 at 8:56 PM - DSteele: Jesus carrying a washing machine on your back is not fun.
Jun 5, 2017 at 9:10 PM - Ray: A washing machine AND Jesus. You must be strong with the force.
Jun 6, 2017 at 9:29 AM - Arcluna: LOL

 

Jun 9, 2017 8:16 AM - Ray: Nohana-San is SOOO cute. She posted herself modling yukata on instagram. Makes me wish I were younger.
Jun 9, 2017 11:13 AM - Arcluna: Living up to her nohappy name

 

Jun 9, 2017 at 1:22 PM - Luiz Henrique: dunno if it will stay up for some time, but here`s today aimi line live: https://live.line.me/channels/39123/broadcast/3425288
Jun 9, 2017 at 4:52 PM - J-Becker: She didn't said anything about deleting it yet but if you guys want i can download it.
Jun 9, 2017 at 7:01 PM - DSteele: About to spend 600$ on a monitor.
Jun 10, 2017 at 11:06 AM - Arcluna: Happy Bill and Ted Day!
Jun 10, 2017 at 11:07 AM - Arcluna: What monitor are you getting?
Jun 10, 2017 at 11:50 AM - crimsonknight4: bodacious!
Jun 10, 2017 at 11:51 AM - crimsonknight4: that said, I've never seen the movie(s)
Jun 10, 2017 at 11:51 AM - crimsonknight4: most excellent!

 

Jun 10, 2017 at 1:14 PM - Arcluna: Did not recall them ever saying bodacious
Jun 10, 2017 at 4:03 PM - crimsonknight4: really? crap, I've been misinformed. Though you might want to watch through them again to confirm
Jun 10, 2017 at 4:39 PM - DSteele: I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071XTVBHD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Jun 11, 2017 at 9:30 AM - Arcluna: oh nice... looks like great screen DSteele

 

Jun 12, 2017 at 12:19 AM - DSteele: I hope. 3440x1440 ultrawide curved screen. It better be good for $580 lmao
Jun 12, 2017 at 6:31 AM - J-Becker: Mao will join Chelsy tomorrow as suport guitarist looks like still no word from Shiho.Also if google translate get it right Aimi will reupload her one man live footage.
Jun 12, 2017 at 10:38 AM - Ray: We will in all likelyhood never hear from Yamanoha-san again. Mao-san is working without Nohana-san marking the final break up of Draft King.
Jun 12, 2017 at 10:44 AM - Ray: Except for twitter tags, the "draft King" brand name is no longer in use for much of anything. They no longer rehearse as draft king, seek booking or are seeking replacement members. They are done as a working band.
Jun 12, 2017 at 12:48 PM - crimsonknight4: i think everyone feels the same about the end of draft king, but as long as they dont official say they are disbanded, its to early to say with such certainty
Jun 12, 2017 at 12:49 PM - crimsonknight4: unless shiho dies, of course we will hear back from her
Jun 12, 2017 at 12:49 PM - crimsonknight4: and as for them taking other jobs, i dont think thats so alarming, i mean, they have to eat too lol
Jun 12, 2017 at 12:49 PM - crimsonknight4: but of course saying its not looking good would be an understatement

 

Jun 12, 2017 at 6:39 PM - Ray: Opptomist. I know that for most of y'all Draft king was just another name change. That as long as the band stayed together you could still hope that the Pony would stage a comeback.
Jun 12, 2017 at 6:41 PM - Ray: "Working" in a weekend hobby band is NOT a way to make money. It is a way to SPEND money and play with your friends
Jun 12, 2017 at 6:45 PM - Ray: A weekend bar band with a crowd of 200 people won't make expenses, and ALL of the acts I have seen "The Girls" with are members of other "almost made it big" bands.
Jun 12, 2017 at 6:50 PM - Ray: Nohana-san and Mao-san NOT offically disbanding DK actually scares me more than if they did. It makes me wonder if the rumors about Shiho-sans health are true.
Jun 12, 2017 at 6:55 PM - Ray: And one other thing. After Erica and Japan Expo Rocks and the flaky way it ended I couldn't see DK being picked up by another label. Without that kind of support they ARE over as a working band.
Jun 12, 2017 at 7:00 PM - Ray: They say that being in a Rock&Roll band is the greatest amusment park ride ever . But like all thrill rides it comes to an end sooner or later.
Jun 12, 2017 at 7:04 PM - Ray: And most of its riders spend the rest of there lives trying to get ANYONE to give them another ticket. When they should have just enjoyed the ride then gotten off when it was over, and the Mixbox/Stereopony/Evenpony/Draft King ride IS OVER.
Jun 12, 2017 at 7:16 PM - Ray: "The girls" will go on playing music for the rest of there lives. They can't help it it's in the DNA. But the ride is over and the carnies have turned off the midway lights
Jun 13, 2017 at 8:56 AM - Arcluna: it would probably be healthy for them to, if they do want to continue, to come back as a completely new band
Jun 13, 2017 at 11:47 AM - Ray: Thats what I have been trying to say since Shiho-san left.
Jun 13, 2017 at 11:49 AM - Ray: IMO Mao-san will keep "playing till the weels fall off the wagon". I could see Nohana-san going into acting or modling.
Jun 13, 2017 at 11:51 AM - Ray: She loves the camera and the camera loves her. And she is WAY better looking than a lot of them. But then again I AM a SHAMELESS fan.
Jun 13, 2017 at 11:54 AM - Ray: We don't know what tomarow brings. I hope it is wonderful thing for the women that were once Stereopony/Draft King. Except maybe Erica. I'm still pissed off at her.
Jun 13, 2017 at 12:56 PM - crimsonknight4: i think that is the most likely scenario

 

Jun 13, 2017 7:23 PM - J-Becker: @Linguistic Massacre Happy Birthday!!
Jun 13, 2017 9:11 PM - Arcluna: ah nice way to start the day- aimi responded to my tweet

Jun 13, 2017 11:29 PM - Ray: I think I'll wear green today
Jun 13, 2017 11:31 PM - Ray: It is a nice wat to start a day..........
Jun 13, 2017 11:32 PM - Arcluna: is that because you're feeling green....with envy
Jun 13, 2017 11:33 PM - Ray: Yup
Jun 13, 2017 11:39 PM - Arcluna: so what's happening Ray
Jun 13, 2017 11:39 PM - Arcluna: anything cool going on?
Jun 14, 2017 12:03 AM - Ray: Not really. The kid is home for the summer break. She's laying on the sofa playing Pokemon in her PJ's. The wife had rounds this AM with 21 seen in clinic today, and I bought a new Sword .
Jun 14, 2017 12:06 AM - Ray: If it doesn't cloud up and go "BOOM!" we might go swimming later.
Jun 14, 2017 12:20 AM - Arcluna: ah that's cool
Jun 14, 2017 12:21 AM - Arcluna: swimming is always fun
Jun 14, 2017 12:21 AM - Arcluna: a sword?
Jun 14, 2017 12:21 AM - Arcluna: what kind
Jun 14, 2017 12:22 AM - Arcluna: are you a pirate and bought a cutlass? a rapier? broad sword to battle some medieval ugly dudes?
Jun 14, 2017 12:23 AM - Ray: Yep. I got a Katana from Ryugin forge.
Jun 14, 2017 12:24 AM - Arcluna: ahh nice
Jun 14, 2017 12:25 AM - Arcluna: don't hurt yourself
Jun 14, 2017 12:25 AM - Ray: It's a "back yard cutter" but a good one. 1095(T-10) Clay hardened with a real Hamon
Jun 14, 2017 12:25 AM - Arcluna: my roommate in college cut his hand really band before i met him
Jun 14, 2017 12:25 AM - Arcluna: you should talk to Cake about swords
Jun 14, 2017 12:26 AM - Ray: I am a master blade sharpener/polisher in the European tradition. I got the scars to prove it.
Jun 14, 2017 12:27 AM - Ray: My sword came fairly sharp and only needed a minot touch up to make it shave hair.
Jun 14, 2017 12:27 AM - Ray: "minor"
Jun 14, 2017 12:28 AM - Wein Desu: hello good evening! just dropping by
Jun 14, 2017 12:28 AM - Arcluna: hey Wein Desu!
Jun 14, 2017 12:29 AM - Arcluna: wow Ray... now i'm scared of you...
Jun 14, 2017 12:29 AM - Wein Desu: yes?
Jun 14, 2017 12:29 AM - Ray: Why????
Jun 14, 2017 12:29 AM - Arcluna: well can't spell scary without scar ....
Jun 14, 2017 12:30 AM - Arcluna: bdum dum
Jun 14, 2017 12:31 AM - Arcluna: so what's happening wein desu
Jun 14, 2017 12:31 AM - Arcluna: it's late where you are?

 

Jun 14, 2017 at 12:31 AM - Arcluna: only 11:30 here
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:32 AM - Wein Desu: same here 11:30pm
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:32 AM - Ray: I have a blade that was hand forged in England. It is the best blade I have ever owned. 15inch .fold welded. cly hardened and water quenched. It is as sharp as any of my 35 streght razors.
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:32 AM - Wein Desu: im in philippines
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:32 AM - Arcluna: ahh yeah... that would make it late
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:33 AM - Arcluna: so lots of twitter activity today for nohana mao and aimi
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:34 AM - Ray: My wifes uncle married a philipino girl --pretty pretty pretty.
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:34 AM - Arcluna: and sounds cool Ray... I don't know anything about swords, but very nice... just don't stab yourself
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:34 AM - Wein Desu: oh. i forgot twitter hahahha.. gonna check it out.
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:36 AM - Arcluna: of all my college friends, all of them who are married are either married to a filipino/a, or themselves are filipino/a
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:38 AM - Ray: Nah I have been collecting weapons and training for close to 40 years. I even went to school and got my Concealed/deadly weapons license and have a 800lb safe bltet to a 36 inch thick concrete slab
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:38 AM - Ray: "Bolted"
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:39 AM - Arcluna: wow good stuff
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:41 AM - Wein Desu: that's some cool hobby Ray san
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:41 AM - Ray: It wouldn't stop dedicated thieves with a truck and jackhammer. But It will keep out the junkies and stupid teenagers
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:43 AM - Ray: I try to realize that by taking these weapons into my live I am responsable to try and protect others to the best of my ability
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:45 AM - Ray: Besides I don't have anything so valuable that it would make the "big boy's" hit me. I don't have an FFL or traid in weapons.
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:45 AM - Ray: Trade
Jun 14, 2017 at 12:47 AM - Ray: @ Arcluna: I would guess wher you live most or all of my collection would be a felony?
Jun 14, 2017 at 1:25 AM - Arcluna: dunno? I'm not into weapons so have never cared to look into the laws about it
Jun 14, 2017 at 1:25 AM - Arcluna: i think new jersey probably would be strict through
Jun 14, 2017 at 2:49 AM - Ray: Yes if you live in NJ. you have the strictest antiweapons laws in the world. Think about that. Now consider that the places with the highest crime rates in the USA all have the most restrictive anti weapon laws. The places with the lowest crime rates have the fewest anti weapons laws. Weird .
Jun 14, 2017 at 2:52 AM - Ray: The worst murder rates on earth are found in El Salvador and Mexico where possesion of any weapon is a major crime. The lowest murder rate on earth is in swisserland were every adult must keep a machine gun and hand gremades IN THERE HOME and regularly train to use them.
Jun 14, 2017 at 2:53 AM - Ray: It was never about guns. It is about control.

 

Jun 15, 2017 at 2:11 AM - Arcluna: I go with what Chris Rock says... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db0Y4qIZ4PA
Jun 15, 2017 at 4:50 AM - Ray: Stop me if you heard this one..A guy from a state wher you cannot own a gun or ammunition without a state ID. A guy who COULD NOT GET AN ID FOR A GUN. gets a rifle off the "black market" (felonyX2) Post his intent to kill a US President(felony) drives across 3 state lines with said gun (felonyX3) hunts down and shoots members of congress in a place where you cannot legally own or possess any
Jun 15, 2017 at 4:51 AM - Ray: weapon of any kind (felony X60) and is willing to die doing it. Now tell me how ANY "law" would have affected that man.
Jun 15, 2017 at 4:53 AM - Ray: There have been 390 MILLION weapons sold in the US since the government started tracking it in 1993. Making the US the most heavally armed place on earth.
Jun 15, 2017 at 4:55 AM - Ray: There were AT MINIMUM 600 MILLION firarms and 500 TRILLION rounds of ammunition manufactured in the 100 years from 1893 to 1993
Jun 15, 2017 at 4:56 AM - Ray: NO ONE has the slightest idea how many of those gun or how much of that ammo still works or who has it.
Jun 15, 2017 at 4:59 AM - Ray: So how prey tell me would ANY ONE be able to "control" the american gun owner? A group so large that it out numbers every army and police force on earth COMBINED and has more combat vets in its numbers that the combined chinese and russian armys.
Jun 15, 2017 at 5:01 AM - Ray: BTW the have been 500 million guns and 11 trillion rounds of ammo manufactured in the us since 1993. Nice dream. aint gonna happen.
Jun 15, 2017 at 9:22 AM - Ray: My point is that no matter how good the ideal of universal disarmerment may or may not be(and there are two sides to every story involving human feeling) The "ship has sailed" It would simply be impossable to force civilian disarmerment in the CONUS

 

Jun 17, 2017 at 4:25 AM - Arcluna: getting back on topic... AIMI livestream this weekend!
Jun 17, 2017 at 4:25 AM - Arcluna: We should try to arrange to watch it all together!

Jun 18, 2017 5:45 AM - Ray: Wait a couple of years till she has done a few gang bang movies. Then you can fly to Japan and rent her at a discount.
Jun 18, 2017 5:48 AM - Ray: Or she'll be working at Japan's equuivilent of "the bunny ranch"
Jun 18, 2017 12:57 PM - Arcluna: I think it's about time for AIMI's live

 

Jun 18, 2017 1:53 PM - DSteele: Well that was not the response I was expecting.
Jun 18, 2017 1:54 PM - Arcluna: haha
Jun 18, 2017 1:54 PM - Arcluna: i thought aimi was going to be performing on line live...but nothing...

Jun 18, 2017 5:51 PM - DSteele: Nintendo Switches are fun
Jun 18, 2017 10:15 PM - Ray: THANK YOU! @ J-Becker:-- @ Arcluna: I thought I was the only one that couldn't load "Line Live" last night. @DSteele: My kid LOVES Nintendo games. It is the background soundtrack of my summer unless we hit the pool.

 

Jun 20, 2017 at 3:48 AM - Ray: Happy 21st Birthday ! DSteele. Don't do anything like the REALLY bad stuff I did on mine. (Mine involved the worlds most epic pub crawl

Jun 20, 2017 at 9:41 PM - DSteele: Thanks guys, and don't worry I don't drink nor do I have the intention to drink.

 

Jun 21, 2017 at 1:34 PM - Wein Desu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYV-XJdzupY
Jun 21, 2017 at 1:35 PM - Wein Desu: last year around april that video got 22M+ views... now 29M ^^,
Jun 21, 2017 at 2:49 PM - Arcluna: Wow... I also realized it's been a while since I've listened to stereopony...
Jun 21, 2017 at 2:52 PM - Wein Desu: i've been listening to it often. The first stepo song i've heard was Namida no Mokuo.. i was watching 00Gundam S2 that time
Jun 21, 2017 at 2:52 PM - Wein Desu: and so that's it, the stepo fever started
Jun 22, 2017 at 4:15 AM - DSteele: I say that now and for the future.
Jun 22, 2017 at 8:10 AM - Arcluna: It's also been 7 years now since I met stereopony- and therefore became a super fan
