But imagine this: - They've been releasing a tonne of J-pop wannabe crap - Koichi floods his insta with him dancing to all of it - Promote their first album by showing us a cutesy, pink, in your face album cover - *8P-SB.com is released* -They've fooled us all for this amount of time and they've been working on the most br00tal album to ever exist -Profit

Yay, can't wait to listen to 10 seconds of each song before deleting the album from my computer.

The mini album will not be released on 2019.01.30. The tweet says 'at the end of January'. What will take place at this date will be a live at Ikebukuro EDGE commemorating the release. During their live on 2019.04.16, the band will announce something important. New drummer J 'ω' ² : https://twitter.com/drnnj2

Jigsaw 29.11.2018 at 18:00 will publish their new MV 近所のあの子 Kinjo no ano ko (Promotion Edit Ver)

it was called "mom" wow this sucks tho. i've been waiting to see some news on their third consecutive single, but looks like that got scrapped. They were starting to get so good. This is bullshit.

what a way to end his stillborn ~real vk~ career and come back with a vengeance in the next DIV clone!

keep it

Here are a few that come to mind when I think Iconic vk~~~

Okay, been gone for a bit, but there's huge news. The new album has been announced, it'll be called Destroyed to Discord and the Reason. They also have new oversized parkas and dolman shirts as well as having launched a new web store.

Hey guys! It's been quite a while since I posted here, and I hope people hear me out and read this whole thread. First I'll introduce myself, I'm known by some people here as Yasu, and I was a moderator quite some time ago, briefly, by the name of Yasupon. I wouldn't say I was the best moderator of all time, but I left a mark on the community during the time I was around due to my activity within the social aspect of the site (mostly within the minichat, last.fm, and tt.fm areas). I was probably well known for having written comments on every indie band on last.fm, but yeah enough about me. So as you all know, the visual kei scene is extremely niche; I can personally say that I've never met a single visual kei fan irl by pure chance. The reason I joined this forum many years ago on my former account was because I wanted to meet other visual kei fans, because of course, meeting them in person is almost impossible. I really enjoyed this forum, and for a while I was a minichat regular, as that was the best social outlet for me to make friends and express myself as a part of this community. We had many regulars whom would use the minichat actively, including myself, Biopanda, Haunted Jealousy, Senedjem, Zesshoku, CAT5, Furik, and plenty of others. So somewhere around 2013, drama struck me, and I left this community while I still held a moderator position. It was honestly ridiculous, and I don't want to talk about it because it was truly quite silly, but I left without a word (what an immature teen I was), and two years later I returned to see that the minichat was no longer what it had used to be. The minichat was barren, and it wasn't as active as before. Soon afterward, I discovered that MH actually had its own discord server, which had been started by OriginalSaku (whom I believe is still a moderator here?), however that discord group wasn't promoted very actively, and ultimately went inactive. I am writing this thread because one of my biggest passions in life is to make friends with other visual kei fans, and with the minichat being inactive for quite some time now, the discord group not really being a paramount cornerstone for the community, and no other discord groups filling the void that I sought after, I took it in my own hands to create what I had been so desperately looking for, so I did. I run a server which is currently called "J-Music Community" which is focused primarily on two things: visual kei, and social interaction. Our goal is to bring people together to discuss the music, and just have fun together. We have custom roles, custom colors, voice channels, a j-music and general radio, and many 'channels' for members to use as a means to discuss various topics of interest, and I would be extremely honored to have members of this community to join, and try us out. Our members are friendly, and most are quite mature. We currently have 175 members, and most of them joined only within the past week alone. I have been advertising very passionately all over the internet because that's how much I care about bringing visual kei fans together. If anyone would be willing to at least give us a shot, I'll supply the link right here: https://discordapp.com/invite/wE56xDx If this thread is considered advertising, then of course, I apologize. I intend to create conversation, so this is not solely about driving traffic to the server. A dialogue concerning visual kei fans and unifying them is the premise of this thread as well, because it appears that we're a very niche group, yet we're quite divided from my perspective, and it saddens me a bit. Last.fm has died down over the years, and other community websites dedicated to VK I feel have died down as well, so my goal has been to basically attempt to change that single-handedly to revolutionize things a bit.

http://dueljewel.jp/pc/zepp.html Duel Jewel announced their return live on March 1st, 2019, at Zepp Tokyo. Hayato has apparently made a full recovery from the variety of conditions (functional dysphonia, vocal dystonia, vocal yips) that caused them to disband.

holdup, try this

Cool, I loved their first single so I will try this out

It looks like he came back, but it's not unheard of for vkei bands to make new members take on old members' names (re: the piass having several guitarists using the same name because I guess that's just easier than naming them all). I'm glad they're releasing something new. They're pretty good and now that Gossip is gone, they can kind of fill that void. I think they meant first nationally-distributed mini-album, because they did have a live distributed one back in December.

or maybe he just came back LOL

If he is the one wanting a new direction, I guess his style is more akin to the first album than to the freaking good music they went after

I forgot they existed lol that's good news I guess

Any VK fan who’s a furry will be both hard and confused

i think his name is Bero

I have no idea how to handle this new look

watch them slaying that bubbling under hot 300 @ indie oricon x

A couple oldie to break the ice. Illuminati by Malice Mizer ThE sOnG DiR eN gReY dOn'T wAnT yOu To SeE: And almost any XJapan's songs, but for the sake of chosing one because it's one of my favorite and it's famous for it's lenght:

From varying degrees of "Iconic in the western fandom" to "actually iconic," but here are a few examples.

you're always welcome beloved, can't wait to read your expanded opinions on how exactly this band should proceed with obligatory anniversary remasters of their visual-era albums x

they read MH on the reg and that ad is a thinly veiled drag of 「an average manchild」 arguing here on their behalf.

Hey! I haven't posted in here for a good while, I've gotten way more cds as of lately... Although here's my latest haul~ There's a Klaha - Nostal Lab special edition, Baiser Psychoballet, and Prism 8CM CD single, Raphael - Lilac 2nd press, and a sealed Maria Cross - For You CD

A last DVD live called 「CANIVALIZM」 will be released ! It will include their last live on 2018.11.04.

>be a bandman >play shitty american cons for years >no one cares about you in japan >finally start to come up, band does well >almost make it to your 20th anniversary >vocalist gets a bunch of absolutely heinous vocal conditions >forced to disband >over two years later, he's finally better and you can keep doing what you love >some guy on a forum calls you cringey for taking a cute photo with your bandmates

BABOO will disband after their last live at 2018/12/12 at Ikebukuro Black Hole it seems like Vo. Bero wants to leave the band and take a new path...

Please tell me you are joking.

wasn't this their old drummer? or am i thinking of another band?

The promos for Vestige of Scratches had those weird animated shorts featuring creatures that represented the band. Also, I work with several Japanese people and none of them have even heard of Dir en grey. They’re mostly familiar with L’arc and X Japan though.
