The best One Piece cosplay I've ever seen.

I don't like Gackt

not sure if i'm 100% here for the drunk cat rapping but i'm here for the rest of it

What about "La'mule"? I was never able to take it seriously... I think about a donkey xD there's also "Anli Pollicino", sounds like a disease name.. "Cocklobin" is definitely embarrassing as previously mentioned lol ," Mongol800" is very random too, there's "LEGO BIG MORL" wth is this name, maybe they are lego fans? xD and "LUV'ra-Doll" I don't even know what to say about this one, just plain strange.. hehe

Pollicino (little thumb) it's the italian name for Hop-o'-My-Thumb. 8 out of 10 times I stumble in their name I read it as Anti Pollicino.

Kinda bummed this was a joke, because I liked that song. xD

they have announced a two-man live『HOLSEMEN OF VKPOCALIPSE』 with Verxina on 2020.01.01 at 大泉富士幼稚園 at which a live-limited single ｢Ashes of …Re:cremation｣ will be released in two types: - CD only (¥1666 +tax) - CD + lucky bag consisting of band members venerial infections (¥13666 + sales tax evaded) Verxina fans can treat themselves to a live-only releases mysteriously called MR. HANDSの歌 if ordered tickets + merch through their webshop!

So proud that she finally got her big break after 30 years of trying!!!

I moved back to Tokyo on December 31, 2018 and started offering shopping service for everyone, rather than just my friends, for small fees.

A new band 極東ロマンス (Kyokuto Romance) has formed. They will release their first single, Black Rain, on 2019.04.30 digitally (iTunes) and their first album later in July 2019. They will also have their first one man on 2019.08.01 at Shibuya Ruido K2. Members Vocalist: Shindy https://www.instagram.com/shindy_official_/ Guitarist: 琢磨 (Takuma) https://twitter.com/KyokutoR_takuma Guitarist: Yo-1 https://twitter.com/kyokuto_yo_1 Bassist: 柳山ユウト (Yuto?) https://twitter.com/kyokutoR_yuto Drummer: Tetsufumi https://twitter.com/KyokutoR_ttfm I believe Shindy, Takuma, and Yo-1 were all from Anli Pollicino. CD 1. Black Rain

A new Twitter account has been opened for Kneuklid Romance, which teased a new project / release / ????? called "BABYLON 9." They haven't announced an official date, or really said anything beyond the small teaser video, but the account has interacted with both of the band's former guitarists so my guess is that they are still involved. For context: KR were formed in the very early 90s and are most well-known in the West as "the band both of Malice Mizer's drummers were in." They did achieve mainstream success in the late 90's and eventually split in May of 2000. The band got back together in 2009 via Kisaki using black magic to perform necromancy on popular, yet forgotten, 90's bands after he realized Chariots wasn't going to be Mago 2 (re: Deshabillz && Deflina Ma'riage). This revival didn't last over a year. Also, for what it's worth, "Kumo Onna no KISS" is one of my favorite vkei songs of all time 🤷🏻‍♂️

YUZUKINGDOM 2nd full album"DADAISM" will be released at 2019/07/17.

This is now a K.Romance appreciation thread

Congratulations! It doesn't lack anything. It's wholesome VK (a new genre!)

Hello there! Some of you might know me as the guy who uploads MALICE MIZER to YT, but I'm also a passionate musician myself. Today I released my first mini-album, both digitally, and a limited physical release! My debut, self-titled track. 31:37 minutes long, constantly switching genres, styles, instrumentations and emotions. From classical, to dark ambient, to metal, to pop ballad and more. It is a unique musical experience. Available digitally, but also soon later physically on a 137-limited CD. The music has two meanings, an exploration of my inner self, and the creation of the universe by God. https://youtu.be/BJXK6xopPII?t=161 Here are samples! The link redirects to 02:41 of the video. You can buy it here: https://cantavanda.bandcamp.com

WTF they sound GOOD????? Biggest surprise for me this year so far; definitely brings meaning to the whole "don't judge a book by its cover" phrase xD The vocalist's voice is pretty strong I look forward to hearing more from this band.

Me neither. Some of his music I find passable, but then you get this: He's just so cringy at this point.

So. Recently I've had a dream about Sakurai from BUCK-TICK. We were talking over the phone because he was looking for a nanny for his cats. (😹) He basically interviewed me over the phone and hired me. But when I come to his house, he's not there. His son is there instead. Yes, his secret son (it wasn't the guy from Vaniru nor any other rumored option, just... a dude. That looked a lot like him in his younger days. Possibly with a bit more of a baby face). Unfortunately I woke up shortly afterwards, I barely got to see the cats. At the end I didn't even manage to see Sakurai in the flesh, but his voice alone was.... something, and the dream still made me wake up sort of hot and bothered. 🤷‍♀️

fesFE[M] new mini-album "enseMble autoMata" will be released at 2019/05/08 (7 songs, 2160yen)

sameeeeeee, my computer and pendrives are full of albums and singles I never have time to listen to XD

"Well, to the recording of Schwarz Stein. Today is the final task of mastering." "The recording of Schwarz Stein has ended successfully. The work very like Schwarz Stein is finished. May and July continuous release. Please look forward to it." Schwarz Stein Hora Birthday Live『UNHOLY』 『Ever After』 Release date: Saturday, May 11, 2019 Product number: KH-11 Price excluding tax: 1,800 yen http://schwarz-stein.jp/information/detail.php?id=39

Basically every VK band that tried to jump on the West circa 2007. So cringey it hurts. Btw, my bandmates may act the same. Our songwriting screams "visual kei" in every sense but whenever someone points out anything towards that direction over it they would say "Wtf man, actually we do math rock, we have zero to do with those jap weirdos". ?????????????? Luckily I've recently gotten over it.

what breaks my heart is reading yasu is still in poor health. :c

KISAKI PROJECT will restart activities with new vocalist ENDIGO (ex-Still Echo --> Overworld --> BaTAAr) as of April 1! Their first single, "And the rest is rust and stardust... " will be released sometime in September, and their first live will be around the same month. "And the rest is rust and stardust" cover art:

Ruki (the GazettE) used to be in a band called Kar+te=zyAnose.

I think the youtuber/musician Jared Dines giving them a listen on one of his videos helped a lot, and I’m so happy for them!

If this is a joke I'm calling the cops

If you ask me this looks a whole lot like ka-yu wanted a definition on reforming or new concerts or something like that and the other guys were like "eeeeeh, I dunno, not now I'm still rich", and he got pissed off and left the band In any case, this sucks. They were my first real addiction in VK, my first real "disbandment" heartbreak since I started hardcore listening to japanese music almost 18 years ago. Gaia blew my mind in such a way I'll never forget. still, we are Janne!

really wondering by now when we'll finally get to see these 2 although i already had a hunch we won't probably see 「流転」 on time either... 3月1日(金)22:00 「Dusky-Vision」 4月1日(月)22:00 「流転」 well to stay positive since its not even 2 months until their new full length drops we'll probably get more before the actual release...

April 1st is pretty hardcore this year

Please be gentle, we've worked very hard on this ❤️

This shit bout to SLAP.

Already dropped them, however is such a waste to see Yoshiatsu stuck in this clown-kei shit concept,cuz he's an unique character in the vk scene.his cleans and his growls both are flawless. He should be doing shit like NAZARE/DIMLIM and not that.

Sorry to post twice in a row in the same thread, but I had another weird dream about a J-rocker last night that I think is worth sharing. I dreamt that Hitomi (ex-Moran) joined the infamous league of J-rockers who get found out for evading their taxes, only he didn't get found out by the police; he got found out by his friends. When they confronted him about it, he just broke down and started crying his eyes out, then he asked them for help before he got caught by the authorities, so props to him for that, I guess. Anyways, that crying must've been lucid because when I woke up, the entire left half of my face was stained with tears. God, why am I so obsessed with Hitomi lately? Am I going through a phase?

.

This was a few nights ago but it's somehow so stupid it keeps bothering me lol. So I had a dream that Virge released a new song called "get a job and I'll date you". And there was a music video for it too which was just Ryo dancing randomly in a weird monster costume. I think it was supposed to be like a werewolf costume or something? (I guess I've been a bit stressed about getting a summer job this year so my brains are subconsciously trying to motivate me or something...?? I don't think this is a very good way though...)

this is epic lol

i was wondering what he was saying god i love this song even more xD "Shitty dirty mother fucker lousy lowly mother fucker sleazy trashy mother fucker creepy nasty mother fucker"

This is giving me discount E'm~grief~ vibes, hah! At this point tho I'd rather take this than "new br00tal kei band #2423". edit: lmao, check their snazzy OHP intro guys, 10/10

That cover looks like a prolapsed anus

I misread track 3 as cuck in the dark and got unreasonably excited tbh

I had a dream that this one visual kei band announced hiatus because their vocalist got pregnant even though he was a guy. Sadly I don't remember much else of that dream. I have a lot of questions lol

I had a pretty stupid dream, I kinda think I died but not really? idk I was just sitting in a oversized booster seat, in the car with a bunch of people I had never seen before, cept my ex was driving for some reason (totally not triggered by seeing her) . It seemed like the more I asked questions of what was going on and why shit began to kinda distort? like the front seat seemed to move farther away the more I reached for it or spoke in that direction. It was fucking weird, then we hit a stop and I flew through the windshield and woke up. After midnight snacking and a blunt, i drifted back to sleep and it kinda took a turn not for the worse but just more weird shit. I walked on glass for what seemed like an hour (i guess it was?? idk) until a faint voice got to escalate louder and louder until i could distinguish not one but two voices and they were doing the dance with no pants ig cause there was a lot of moan and a whole bunch of that"OH DADDY" bs. Anyways I look for the source in my dream until i get to an empty spot in the glass ridden grass field and stop, like im standing right next to the moaning but no ones there...okay, I look around and no ones there and its just like. ugh. fast forward and I wake up like 20 mins later and it turns out I left my door opened halfway the first time I woke up and surprise surprise, guess who's STILL having gross sex.. My aunt in the room down the hall. Kill me please.

the other night i had a dream where i was at this cute guy's house and we were hitting it off and i think we had a thing going on but then. i projectile vomited all over his dog, his floor, and myself :// he cleaned me up and didn't seem to think twice about it tho........ so maybe it was true love........ (but god, the weirdest thing is that the guy i dreamed about is actually REAL so now whenever i see him i get uncomfortable)

Oh boi it was a pretty interesting one lol I was watching tv in a room full of vending machines ?? And then Gallo was on tv !! I think they were making a pv !?! I was really excited and happy because I wasn't expecting that and I realized they could hear me when I was talking !!! But instead of one Jojo the band had two of them ??????? One seemed way younger tho (His hair was nicer too lmao) ??? But yeah they was in some sort of kitchen (Which was really cute) and one of the Jojo (The one who looks younger) was sitting on the table, staring at the screen super intensely and I was trying to talk to them but for some reason they wasn't answering, just staring lol. I remember that half of Andy's face was covered with something and he kept moving is head in a weird way, but Wajow, Kaede and Nov was pretty normal I think, just super quiet ??? Few minutes after I heard some people outside threatening to break my window and steal my purse ??????? They were yelling really loud and I was scared so I ran to the other room to tell my mom and said to not worry, they won't do anything. Then I went back to the living room and I heard a baby crying really loud, and I woke up in sweat lmao. But also in the beginning of the dream when they appeared on tv, they looked really weird as if they were made of some sort of clay ??? Idk how to explain but they went back to normal after few seconds. All this in about 15 minutes lol

god my dreams are always so weird so last night i had one where i was in this giant-ass phantom of the opera-like theater, and my art teacher (who i despise lolol) took my art class on a field trip to that theater, i guess? anyways, we were in the theater. 'we' being the art teacher, myself and the other art students, and probably some other people idk. the theater wasn't totally packed. nothing was going on on stage, the lights and stuff were on, people were just chatting and chilling, and my art teacher was walking around the isles. and here's the wtf part. there were these weird foot-shaped plastic plates littered all over the theater, on seats, in isles, etc. and they all had... substances in them. which my teacher would... drink??? she'd literally pick up the foot-shaped plates and drink whatever was in them??? lol anyways, she seemed perfectly fine with it. but there was this pink foot-shaped plate that i had by me, i'm going to assume i brought that plate even though i don't remember it being explicitly mine in the dream. but the teacher assumed it was mine and was for some reason really cautious with it. thanks that didn't hurt at all :))) okok this next part had me dying: the substance in the plate was white. and listen, i didn't actually know what the substance was. but my teacher asked me what it was, so i just told her it was hand cream. she... drank it, of course... but tbh? i don't think the substance was hand cream SERVES THAT BITCH RIGHT i really don't like her........

The diamond「デも/demo」 was found in the darkness to impress us and bring new a beginning to Ryutaro. From the fans dreams. Finally Ryutaro arimura released your own solo project. This year Plastic tree celebrated the 23th birthday it's interesting as Ryutaro kept his own compositions in secret and he just was waiting the right time to start own solo project. Its so obvious that him wanted a wonderful and very well produced release. Some years ago... I was talking with a Kurage friend about a "solo project" in future and i was right that Ryutaro have many unreleased songs and maybe he could release some solo album to give to us the personal work and feelings him between all these years with Plastic Tree band. Then today we have「デも／demo」release that is incredible work from him. Like my last review, i will comment every song and then overall and sorry if i commit some wrongs in English. Let’s to review. 01 - 幻形テープ／genkeitêpu Like a intro, genkeitêpu just bring piano and one deep atmosphere that remains between all time. The great point it's when Ryutaro introduce the mini-album with own title of release and then come a lively atmosphere which resembles the birth of the release. 02 - 浮融／fuyuu The fuyuu song impressed everyone in the first preview from the release on youtube. That gave a good impression with what could be 「デも/demo」. Yes, its a shoegaze song, awesome with all details including the PV and reminds so much the 13th Friday song traces. Fuyuu is lovely to me. But isn't my favorite song and i should to admit that its so deep with a explosion of feelings since the guitar intro until the mixing of all instruments with the Ryutaro's voice. The song already start like the main chorus by the way that Ryutaro start express himself quickly that is interesting thing to me, if its a song with elements from the shoegaze. In every minute the listener dream with all the feelings that fuyuu brings that is relaxing and wonderful song, i have sure that Ryutaro worked so much to production and composition of fuyuu. He knew that would surprise fans that would be the favorite song for many fans, that is real fact today. That's a reason that he knows how work with shoegaze songs that is really catchy to fans, i have sure that he will explore this to next releases. 03 - 魔似事／manegoto Managoto song just break the atmosphere of fuyuu. Enjoyable and simple is how i define this song. Its a plus with the video music that bring the beauty and photography of some scenes. I think that is the begin of "musical identity" of Ryutaro on mini-album. Enjoyable songs to a public that know him only with plastic tree songs. 04 - また、堕月さま／mata,otsukisama I can say that is a continuation of manegoto. The same style and more enjoyable and sweet (Melancholic) with pure feelings and between manegoto and mata,otsukisama i prefer mata, otsukisama. Like a better version of manegoto that's makes me think "these songs are just one song (?)", this i will never know. In fact there a similarity that convinces me to did this question. Anyway, mata, otsukisama is one of my favorite songs. 05 - うフふ／ufufu Another break in mini-album, that reminds Hakusei release that have something like that in the end of album. I dont know why he did this but i felt a little bored. Just a snippet from fuyuu song like a background with mix of other sounds. 06 - 猫夢／nekoyume The second high of release is nekoyume. The song is great and isn't something new from the last releases of Plastic tree unfortunately. Nekoyume is the song that i listen so often, i dont know why exactly.... Maybe is because is a exciting song and expressive that makes me feel better. The video music isn't something new, the way is the same in Rakka release of Plastic tree. I have to confess that i think that Nekoyume is a copy of Rakka lol (Like born this way to Express yourself of madonna). 07 - 鍵時計／kagidokei For me this song is a pray from Ryutaro. Very expressive of simplicity like a poem, this impress me so much in kagidokei that the second song that i love in mini-album. Once more time Ryutaro show the real personal songs that impress me with the voice him. This is so visible in the video music too, the scenes are lovely in black and white that gave the perfect harmony to song. 08 - 恋ト幻／rentogen Finally the best song to me, rentongen is the true identity of Ryutaro songs. The clean voice of him between the electro beats that is perfect in my opinion. Again i felt the best feelings in video music that gave to me the best definition about rentongen. First i saw Ryutaro without make up with a sad expression and anguish, many times i could saw too the deep eyes him with inexplicable feelings. I saw many times a certain restlessness incluiding when he is blind in some scenes. That's makes me think: many songs unfinished and rentongen is a diamond that he worked so good to be the last song. My fav song definitely! AC. Ver The acoustic songs are very good to a extra content, to me are perfect versions. Some looks no different from the original (should be due little digital manipulation in the songs). Ryutaro wanted to show both side of songs, because this he included the AC Versions and of course give to us a full work to first solo release. Overall: 「デも／demo」is definitely a good start to solo career, the content is very complete with all details and production. The physical CD's give to us the best art content and musically. This is a reason to be expensive to have all versions, Ryutaro had to create the almost all stuff. The ideas from him was good to every song and PV's and he had all freedom to do that (without pressure of label) and he did some comments on Twitter about every song and how he tried finish and the production details. About the similarity of some songs of Plastic Tree.... I have an answer: He is the vocalist and the members do what they like, including the ideas. Many years in Plastic tree band that to have own style take some time or maybe this is the own style that Plastic Tree just use to represent the band. To me 「デも／demo」 is one the best release in this year. Was unexpected, daring to own Ryutaro, impressive in some moments and lovely in others. Mainly complete in every detail. This is our「デも／demo」.
