    Your last music-related buy!

    Just saw Attic (German occult heavy metal band) live last night and they were so badass I had to buy both of their albums on the spot. The second one even came with a freakin' map attached to the digipack case, lmao. I LOVE IT.

    STARRY NIGHT IS MY SHIT. I DONT EVEN CARE. roadster sounds like some leftover late Yasutaka Nakata shitshow with vocals by some random visual kei member who just recently recorded his first demo tape in 1999.

    tbh the guy doing the thirteen's support from awoi is pretty fit for this i think they should get a non-vk drummer though, yusuke's appeal for me was the fact that he drummed more like a metalcore drummer than a yoshiki fanboy

    アトリエ (Atelier) one-day revival

    Why is it that every time someone makes one of these threads, they only single out one band out of like, 5 different bands that are reviving? Venus, Dahliagate, Monokuro Kinema, Lilly, and Peace are also reviving for one day.

    What dimension is this where yoshiki and skrillex are chums. The X album can't be finished yet because yoshiki is finishing his dubstep apprenticeship with Skrill.

    #114: XIII by lynch.

    | This leftover pizza tastes better once you warm it up. Tracklist: 1. INTRODUCTION 2. THIRTEEN 3. GROTESQUE 4. EXIST 5. JØKER 6. RENATUS 7. AMBLE 8. SENSE OF EMPTINESS 9. FIVE 10. INTERLUDE 11. FAITH 12. OBVIOUS 13. A FOOL With the return of bassist Akinori, lynch. has become a 5-member band once again. With tours 「13th ANNIVERSARY –Xlll GALLOWS- [THE FIVE BLACKEST CROWS], 『TOUR’18「THE NITES OF AVANTGARDE #2」“A BLØODY REVENGE”』, and the release of their compilation album SINNERS -no one can fake my bløod, the band has been on the move during 2018. While the announcement for their new album XIII had warranted excitement, it also brought along with it some skepticism from fans. Seems reasonable since we have seen an abundance of mediocre re-recordings and mixes from lynch. How the band could have possibly had the time to put together an album, let alone what it was going to sound like, was something to be concerned about. First impressions of XIII are positive. The album feels balanced, as Hazuki’s vocals are not the only prominent feature here but the chords and basslines of the guitars that compliment it, providing strength in the mid-range as well as an actual presence. Tracks such as "THIRTEEN", "RENATUS", and "FIVE" are perfect examples of these nuances, as well as some highlight tracks of XIII that are equally enjoyable. Taking note at one of lynch.’s only hindrances, we see that they've stuck to the same composition style as their last two albums, making a large portion of XIII feel like a collection of B-sides. It failed to strike immediate chords with me, something that D.A.R.K and even AVANTGARDE had no problem with. Adding to this is a variation in sound, something unfamiliar that I knew would take time to be accepted as the new norm. The balance in vocal and guitar strings, while being right up my alley, leaves the drumming much to be desired. There is reduced dynamic range, isolation, and maybe even a flat signature, ridding any “tail end” from the drums that could give the album more life. With arrangements mimicking the last two releases, and an unfamiliar sound, my first listen through XIII felt like one big blur. However, after giving the album a couple week’s worth of listening, an appropriate break-in period that I felt was needed, XIII by lynch. has distinguishing attributes that separate it from the rest of their discography. The more I listen to it, the more my initial thoughts beforehand seem like fan uneasiness as lynch. has revisited their past work and refined it, throwing in inspiration from Visual Kei bands of the 90s like Kuroyume, Luna Sea, and Laputa. "RENATUS" has become a track favorite, with an astounding atmosphere that gives the aggression of those guitars a stronger bite. I’m a sucker for melodic tracks, and "AMBLE" sounds almost euphoric, providing many moments of elation that I wish could last forever. The versatility in musical instruments during "FAITH" is one to definitely check out. Lastly, the emotional cool-down track that is "A FOOL" brings XIII to a smooth close, without trying too hard to make it obvious. XIII sounds completely different than it did a couple weeks ago, as the album takes on an empathetic atmosphere, driving a nostalgia trip that's going to be different for everyone. The album is able to express its confidence here with an abundance of melodies and guitar solos, like a tribute to 13 years of lynch.'s past work, with a glint of 90’s Visual Kei thrown into the mix. Whether this combination will make one feel something is up to the listener, but overall this album certainly has become a standalone release that I can easily stand behind, only after being given some time to warm up to it first.

    Because this is by far the funniest and coolest song of VK, here my translation of it! I have some problems with the Zipper/Fly part... so if anyone can correct me or help out that would be great! From when I started as bandomen I was quite popular. Feeling happy every day, Today I want to paint a lot in my picture Diary again! My fan's twitter blog It changed to a guy that wasn't me. I am ashamed of my image. So I can't look at the screen. A bashful/shy person! When I MC it's a funeral feeling! When I MC it's a funeral feeling! Thank you very much for always listening to me. The bangya who pulled my cheki traded it away in front of my eyes. I'm happy! She is sharing me! ME! *sparkle* She said she would support me until death She hasn't come to see me lately. I wonder if she has died? The bangya that use their smartphones, sitting on the ground during a live show: They are looking up my band's situation. Diligently studying! Handing out flyers on the way back, my band's flyers are falling down... I see! The purpose is to mark the way over a long distance! At the taiban (multi-band live), the guys taking photos with me won't post them on twitter. My fans who see it will feel jealous, so you have a grudge against me! Killer! In front of me, there are no bangya. They are standing firm in the back. "I understand! In a movie theater the back also has a better view, right?" From tomorrow onwards it's To~Mei~Han! To~Mei~Han! To~Mei~Han! From tomorrow onwards it's To~Mei~Han! To~Mei~Han! To~Mei~Han! Live? Ahh, it's just a short drive! Live? A no, it's just a car trip...!!! I called the phone number, that was secretly written in a letter. It was something I had not heard before at all, the voice of an old man! "Hello!" You're a shy person, but you pranked me! My secret relationship with the old man? Oi oi oi! Don't stare at me like that! The people around us will be alarmed! ### My zipper was open... My singing voice My angelic singing voice Singing the best songs Today alone again at karaoke ### (I am missing something here.... I really don't get this part.... 😭😭😭😭 Help please!) # To Mei Han = Tokyo Nagoya Osaka tour

    I don't think this ヒカル is the same person as the toon-factory ひかる。There's no mention of it on his twitter, nor they both sound the same. Also Toon-Factory ひかる was in a session called アトリエ in 2013, while this アトリエ disbanded in 2010, when Toon-Factory was active.

    This basically. And the scene is very different from any other scene in the west. Also the pressure these guys have by the japanese society/elders/family etc, I can imagine it must be tough and I can definitely see why a lot of people give up "early" (five years is not early for a vk band tbh). (I think that) unless these guys make it big very early on they usually quit because they realize it's not a viable career path. On the other hand you have guys like Yuuga and Kyouka who simply don't give a fuck. But not giving a fuck is harder in the japanese society than most western countries.

    DEZERT new album, "TODAY" release

    Wow, was not expecting that much of a downgrade. Other than the vocals this is not the same band. If a band's popular enough to become major (if they are indeed major), why the hell do record labels insist on changing everything that made them good/unique enough to become major to begin with? Retarded.

    I just looked at some videos on dystonia patients....this is fucking awful. He says he only has it on his upper right arm, but I'm scared that it may progress all over. I wish the very best for Yusuke. As for those who are saying the band needed this hiatus because "their music sucks anyway"...shame on you. This announcement was very sudden, and losing someone like Yusuke over something as devastating as this is a huge blow to the band, and this man may have to deal with this for the rest of his life. Shame on you.

    I'm glad this thread help revive some interest for Laputa and his members they were definitely one of the greatest bands in visual kei history. On my side, I checked the vocalist's (Aki) recent works and it sounds very decent, so i ordered the latest album called "Revolve" , looking forward to it.

It's how many girls tsunagaru with bandomans ****If they give their LINE to the bangyas that they fuck there's big chances to get exposed thats why most of them use Kakao for talking with their sexfriends. Kakao is very unpopular in Japan so they only use for this reason hahahaha

    Hi! I requested it in a blog called zuihitsu. it's the only song this person could translate bc someone posted lyrics in the comment section from that mv. Kanji: taken from a comment below the video Translation: zuihitsu Title: Harmless, cheerfully naive girl Perhaps you didn’t have any matching pajamas? In the middle of winter, I’m the only one in tank top, you look so warm in that black striped pajama from Gelato Pique*, I’m only wearing short pants and tank top, “That’s because I want to see your skin”** I love you when you are like this ♡ I got interested in you by chance when I saw you on a live with other artists, according to the direct mail service*** something like a one-man live was about to come. I went to see and you were so cool, so funny, I got addicted to you, I showed some courage and subscribed to your band’s direct mail service*** and now everyday is fun ♡ “Buy me a bag” Let’s fill it with a lot of memories ♡ “Is it fine if I create a CACAO account?”**** It’s scary to get your LINE**** account stolen, right? ♡ “Tell me your number” Sooo, 090… “No, no, your ATM card secret code!” We are one ♡ Our bank account shall be one ♡ “I won’t be able to spend Christmas with you”***** Is it because you are buddhist and you are busy with preparation for the New Year’s Eve, right? ♡ I, alone, in my room, alone, say many christmas prayers to everyone! ****** I saw you in town walking with an other woman,******* wow! ♡ You are even more amazing! ♡ You are giving directions to a person who has lost the way! From the back I say “He’s so kind! ♡” Yes, I’m a cheerfully naive girl, I have money, I have love, for you, I can go everywhere, yeah, even Taj Mahal, well, in the first place, I exist for you, I’ll pay to fix your equipment which, for some mysterious reason, breaks so often********, this month is already the seventh time… I have been blocked by you on Twitter, Is it because you used to be in the Volleyball club and blocking is your specialty, right? ♡ I’ll attack you!♡♡♡ ********* You keep refusing physical contact, maybe, you… you don’t like me…? (Ah, that can’t be! I’m so stupid!) That thing is for after the wedding, right? ♡ Perhaps you didn’t have ay matching pajamas? In the middle of winter, I’m the only one in tank top, you look so warm in that black striped pajama from Gelato Pique*, I’m only wearing short pants and tank top, “I don’t care about what you wear”** I love you when you act so shy ♡ Notes and Other *=it is a famous brand of clothing, particularly loved by girls because of the fluffy and warm pajamas they produce. **=it may seem like something sexy, but later in the song it becomes clear that the bandman couldn’t even be bothered to land that girl a pajama. ***= a service for commercial promotion which consist in receiving mail about the future even of the company and such. Quite common in Japan, a bit unknown in the West. ****=CACAO is one other application for chatting, calling and such for free which is an alternative to the extreme popular service call LINE. It is kinda suspect because looks like the bandman wants to use CACAO to flirt with other girls without letting the cheerfully naive girl know. *****=In Japan, Christmas is an event for couples, so this phrase is extremely fishy if said to one’s girlfriend/boyfriend: sounds like the bandman is definitely having a date with another girl. ******= it is a pun impossible to translate. It is the combination of the words for the buddhist prayer (gasshou) that everyone does on New Year’s Eve and “Merry Christmas”. *******= may seem normal to some in west, it is extremely fishy in Japan. Like, some consider it plain cheating. ********= this is one of the tricks used in the past by dirty bandmen, in order to receive money from the girls willing to pay for such a cost which, of course, is a lie. *********= “Attack” is the catchphrase of You from the volleyball anime “Attacker You”
