CAN'T WAIT 2 SEE THEM OPEN FOR SATSUKI IN BELARUS!!!

coming soon to a farmhouse near you in rural hokkaido

what did i do to deserve both initial'L and this monstrosity , god please ,, my sins i REPENT

Actually yes. MEJIBRAY Company president is rumored to be from Yakuza and he's one of the big bosses of Visual Kei industry now. Since Koichi and Tzk apparently had some problems with him (remember Koichi stop playing the bass and showing his middle finger in direction of their boss in the end of their concert), yes, they're in blacklist and probably can't do a Visual Kei band anymore. That's what this song is about. On yesterday concert they said that CreatO was the only live house that let they play.

Sorry guys, there's gonna be some delays. On the brightside, I think we've got last minute additions to some backing choruses.

im already suicidal as is and this is NOT helping

| How does a band that delivers the same music for over 15 years defy expectations? Like DEATHGAZE and lynch., 陰陽座 (Onmyouza) is that type of band that sticks to their guns and delivers the same style of music with each release. Also like DEATHGAZE and lynch., 陰陽座 (Onmyouza) is the kind of the band that won't do much to change your mind, no matter how many times they come knocking at your door with a new sales pitch. When I was a J-music novice, I thought being one-dimensional was a bad thing because I rated diversity much more highly than I probably should have, mostly due to the way many visual kei bands use diversity as a musical condiment. What is more important to me now is that a band delivers every time they announce a new song or album. While the two visual kei bands I mentioned earlier haven't been the paragons of consistency, 陰陽座 definitely is. There's not an album in their catalog that I would consider sub par - this is impressive with a career spanning almost twenty years and fifteen albums - and their newest album, 覇道明王, continues that trend. I'll take the time now and say that if what you've heard in the past has done nothing for you, just listen to the first track "覇王". If that does nothing for you, you are free to go. I have nothing to say that will change your mind. If, however, you have never heard of this band before or "覇王" actually caught your interest, then welcome to what is perhaps the most metal album ever. This feels like, but also far outstrips, 2007's 魔王戴天 (Maoutaiten). 覇道明王 has zero chill, and from the opening piano chords of "覇王" to the fading guitar of "無礼講", 覇道明王 has the potential to keep you hooked without wanting a pause. Unlike past albums, there's no token seven minute ballad to bore you to sleep, or attempts at infusing disparate genres like pop punk and classic rock into their distinct brand of heavy metal. It's straightforward, punishing, rewarding, and everything I never knew I really wanted from this band. Whenever I finish the intoxicating experience of listening to a new 陰陽座 album for the first time, I always wonder how the next one will surpass this one. They don't always manage to raise the bar, but they never completely shit the bed either. The last four albums in a row have consistently impressed me, but I don't think there's an album of theirs that's clicked as quickly as this one. Unfortunately, I cannot give it a perfect score because I believe it's a tad overwhelming for an initiate to sit through without wanting a breather. However, I'm confident in recommending this album to anyone that likes metal with subtle Japanese flair, dual female and male vocals, or just wants something new to listen to. This is as good of a place as any to jump in if you are unfamiliar with this band.

MASHIRO (ex.Paradeis) solo project has formed in June. His first single "I am Me" will be released at 2018/06/20.

LMFAO DID THEY GET BLACKLISTED FROM TOKYO VENUES HAHAHAHA

their ghostwriter x

can't listen to this shit without crying anymore. he's the one bandman who's lyrics I identified with really hard.

Yeah the weirdest thing about him is how fucking hard he went at the lives, in the lyrics and the music and allegedly in his personal life; and then all he wanted to do all along was to play baroque covers.

I mean let’s not forget the huge drama with Lynch when Akinori got caught with pot.

no sob story is an excuse for releasing such crap worldwide, sorry girls

Imagine having this guy telling you that you're not allowed to gig in Tokyo

I'm not really one to judge people but, can you not? People are going to call me an abuse sympathizer but w/e people still defend Kisaki of all people so why not? Please stop celebrating XXXTenatacion's death like this is good what happened to him, and alot of people base that off the fact that his First charge(s) from his Ex-Girlfriend Geneva, which were false because she openly admitted that she lied on him about the abuse. Also with the Jail incident, I guess people don't get the fact that they were in prison...where you get raped btw but no sis, preach on about how he was homophobic and all that bs. Look im not saying he's an angel but he sure as hell doesn't deserve all this backlash and slander, he's dead. For people to celebrate his death truly sickens me, because THE SAME exact people would be crying rivers if Chris Brown died and he BEAT RIHANNA SIS LIKE...euagh. Im not trying to incite bs, all im saying is, have atleast a SHRED of decency, fuck.

ok me RN bye I regret catching up on this mess

Just spent an embarrassing amount of money on these 3 singles at Puresound...

Fuck Yoshiki

¥¥¥¥

This song was embarrassingly bad LMAO. I'm not even mad it's a pop song. I'm mad because it's a shitty pop song. You all couldn't have come up with any different chord progression to use? + I don't know if it's just me, but the mixing sounds really... off. Even though Tsuzuku sounds incredibly soulless (with the exception of that one note at 1:47), I do have a feeling that if TZK was the only one singing, this song wouldn't be nearly as terrible. Unfortunately, he's not the only one singing, so I can't afford to ignore his tone-deaf companion! Koichi sounds so horrifically nasal I started furrowing my eyebrows and almost started grinding my teeth. With how skilled of a lyricist TZK is, the lyrics somehow makes this song even worse. It's not even what the song's about, it's just how poorly they're written (especially when put in comparison to MEJIBRAY's lyrics). This has to be some sort of joke.

Piracy can also lead to the end of this as well ☠️

So basically him and Koichi are legit married now right?

Piracy in VK leads to this!!!

They're probably just testing the water. Remember when BABOO was baby-kei? Now they're dark-kei. I'm just trying to stay positive.

Dance Lesson version is also avaliable now

Ruki's a bit chubby if you ask me

they're skinny

YOSHIKI has posted the new album cover on Twitter.

Whenever I see this thread pop up again I already know Yoshiki has been up to something again xD

I thought I meant something to her. I thought that for the first time in my life I actually had a friend. Nah, apparently I'm still just a piece of trash that can be ditched and thrown away however she pleases. Promises and plans don't matter. It doesn't matter that we haven't seen each other in over six months and after this summer there will be very few possibilities for us to ever see each other again. She's made it pretty clear that she has better friends and better things to do. Oh well. Then again why am I even surprised anymore.

i think it's UNiTE's Shiina Mio solo project album

Will.i.am just looks like he doesn't have a clue who the hell Yoshiki is and he doesn't want to be there

Cute PV but the song is..... zzZzzZz.

...wooow.

... Is this a fake translation? This is way too fucking meta lmao

iirc last time this excuse was big in most diehard miyavi stans circles when he went with the wedding song/adult baby lullaby repertoire it didn't really work out that well x

Absolute garbage. And Koichi can't sing for shit, the autotune makes it sound even worse. Tsuzuku's voice was always bad so no changes there. What a disappointment.

without words

This wholesome boy aesthetic is LAME. I need tzk screams killing my ear drums and blessing me with dark lipstick. There is hope for mejibray members... We still don't know how Meto sounds as a vocalist. He could be the savior of vk.

dude what the fuck is this shit

Yeah Abyss and Lucy were very good performances. But they will never top this DIM SCENE performance: This will forever be my favorite live by them

Using MIDI Drums instead of using your actual drummer is strike one and two. Its VERY obvious Kai did nothing to contribute to this. Aoi knows how to work Ezdrummer and a lot of the drums sounded like they were missing that human touch. Also Kai was NOT present during the interview that dropped where the other members talked about recording Traces. Not even bothering to bring in someone to mix/master the project is strike 3. They also straight up said that they didn't know what they were doing a lot of the time. If this was someone's solo work then sure, id let it slide because admittedly it sounds decent. But its worth only a few listens till you decide you're better off listening to the studio versions or even better yet, the live versions. Traces deserves all the flack it gets.

Unfortunately...

^ And what a song to cry too.
