I will only pay 150K if I can also sleep with her, No need sex or funny business like that, but just in bed, maybe talking and nibbling on chips and drink tea, anything less that is clownery!

In ONE DAY he already got 110% of the goal... HOLY FUCKN SHIT?! I'm so surprised (in a good way)

ok i'm sorry bu t

Let's also not forget about some more explosive outbursts like Ryohei from Kyogetsu. I wrote about it here if you want some more details, but safe to say that it's an open secret that going visual kei is a money pit and it can be seen as shameful to discuss it brazenly. Because I'm not Japanese, I took the time to convert the yen into freedom and equality units. MV ~ 500.000 ¥ / $4,400.67 / €3,882.55 Costumes ~ 700.000¥ / $6,160.86 / €5,435.49 Foto shooting ~ 100.000¥ / $880.12 / €776.49 CD pressing ~ 100.000¥ / $880.12 / €776.49 Recording ~ 100.000¥ / $880.12 / €776.49 Hair styling ~ 1x 20.000¥ / $176.06 / €155.31 Studio ~ 1x 10.000¥ / $88.01 / €77.65 Travel cost ~ 200.000¥ / $1760.59 / €1,553.43 Flyer/print ~ 100.000¥ / $880.12 / €776.49 Website 150.000¥ / $1,320.47 / €1,164.82 Total: $17427.14 / €15,372.22 Some of these numbers should be interpreted carefully. I added up all the values, so the true cost of hair styling and studio isn't reflected here because those are repeated over and over again. For the studio, is this cost per hour or per session? It's way more expensive if it's $88 an hour. I also find that the expenses for hair styling are pretty expensive relative to what it should cost, so I wonder if this is a compound cost or an estimation of some sort. I also assume somethings like flyer / print, CD pressing, and photo shoots include the costs not just to produce the medium but to pay for the services and distribution. Something similar for the website too; I doubt most of these guys are doing all the maintenance work for it, so they probably pay someone to keep it up for them. A thousand dollars for a website doesn't make sense. A thousand dollars to create an interactive and impressive website quickly is still too much. But to do all that and keep it maintained makes sense. Travel costs include not just plane tickets, but moving all of the musical equipment and paying the roadies to do it for you. I wonder if these costs are per band member or costs for all members as a whole, which could explain some of these high costs. I don't think this is everything, because I've heard stories about how bands have to front money in order to be able to perform. I don't know how true this is, but I've heard about it more than once, especially when bands have to front the difference if attendance was below projected amounts. There's nothing here about the cost to perform concerts or produce merchandise. And finally, I don't think the band is paying all of the costs, just a majority of it. So I'm comfortable saying that for your average band, the label would front about 30% and the band members together would front the remaining 70%. So the new adjusted total is: Total: $12,199.00 / €10,760.40 If I were to pretend that I was a visual kei musician, and I was in charge of budgeting for my band, and we had to make some hard choices about what we could afford and not afford, I'd honestly take a look at the hair styling and costume costs, the studio costs, and the photo shoots. I think the hair styling is egregiously expensive for no real reason, compounded by the fact that it would be multiple visits. I'd only get my hair done when I absolutely need to and show up to the studio and to record looking like a regular guy. I'd try to do band practice somewhere cheaper, because those $90 visits add up fast. Travel cost is non-negotiable. Photo shoots can double for both cheki and promotional materials, so I think that's the cost of doing business. The cost of the costumes is right about where I expected it to be if you budget for five people, and budget considering every time you record a new release you have a new look. But costumes put the visual in visual kei, so it is hard to argue to take them out. I honestly would have to argue if costumes should cost more than the music video, and would try to find some way to put even more money into those, because that also puts the visual in visual kei, and shoot for making less music videos overall if I can keep each one to a higher standard of quality. I honestly don't know how much of a presence a website would give my band at the start, and would probably double down on traditional social media tools at first to go viral and cheapen costs there, or maybe latch on to my label's bigger website and push that way. Or maybe both, because more exposure doesn't hurt and word of mouth is free. I'd also be the ultimate cheap and lazy bastard and press all my CDs themselves to start, and then distribute them at lives. Overall, I can understand a bit better how difficult it can be to get started if the funds aren't green.

This is huge, the production behind the music video and just the insane amount of energy they give off surpasses many bands that have been doing this for years. Really excited to hear more from them. Also can we talk about how filthy that breakdown was jesus christ !!!!!

Because I have no life, here have a small list of visual kei artists available for listening over spotify. Some have full discographies some only few albums or singles. there are also instances on several artists from all over the world being grouped together on one page, because of shared name. What is spotify? - to put it short, a digital music streaming service. It comes in two flavors - free with ads, and paid via subscription, with no ads and few useful perks. Sign up, log in, most likely download their application to your computer or mobile and you're set. Isn't that piracy? - no it's completly legal and artists and/or their label (we know how that goes...) are getting paid for each listen. For the start I cut this list into two categories. First one is the bands that retain their japanese song tags even on spotify - for all purists who want their last.fm scrobbles accurate Amber Bullet Angelo - mixed with different artists Anli Policino Annie's Black Black Gene For the Next Scene - mixed tags BUCK-TICK - region locked Calmando Qual Capella - mixed with different artists Cløwd CULT the Movie D - ??? they used to have few albums, like Vampire Saga there, but it seems to be gone now. Perhaps region locked. Daizy Stripper Das:Vasser Fixer - several different artists mixed together on that page girugamesh - mixed tags GOLDEN BOMBER Gossip GPKISM Grieva - romanized name, but correct song tags Insanity Injection Kamijo ラヴェーゼ (Labaiser) La'veil MizeriA Liv'ert L-Lotus- Lost Ash lynch.

Kaya has unveiled a new project, "Road to 15th Anniversary" to celebrate his upcoming 15th anniversary as a solo singer - which will be commemorated in 2 years. To commemorate the start of this project, a crowdfunding campaign has been made for the production of his new cover album, "DRESS" (presumably to be released in June 2019), which is a culmination of his past covers done at his CafeNOIR lives. Those who contribute are also able to request songs to be put on the album and will receive unique awards based on the amount of their contribution (up to 100,000 yen). The crowdfunding campaign will begin on December 13, and will end on February 28. Brief summary of rewards list: https://www.muevo.jp/campaigns/1661

sorry cant find a link to them but hopefully this suffices

Tatari (タタリ) was the guitarist of Schwartz:Mist and Lebens ende. His name was Tamaki and later Mitsuki. It seems that now he's bassist instead of guitarist.

Soooo according to my laptop's Internet connection settings, one of my neighbours has named their hotspot "Seshlehem". Hoo, boy.

This sounds really nice. o:

The Best member

lmao being ex-RHYOLITE must be embarassing this sounds pretty good though! nothing groungbreaking, but enjoyable. good to see some old bandomen like つかさ and MINAMI too.

WOW... all three pladges of 150.000 Yen (one for only 5 people, another for 3 people and the last for 2 people) go SOLD OUT..

well damn Well anyway, yeah the crowdfunding reached above its goal when it just fucking started. The site Muevo itself was even flooded with requests from overseas users who had trouble signing up, so they had to give them their email to instruct them on how to use the service since it's Japan-only. However, the "DRESS" mini-album (I don't even remember them saying it was a mini but ok) will be a full album IF the crowdfund reaches 200%.

sounds so good!!!

You got the price of the regular edition mixed up xD It's 3000 yen, not 3500 ! https://www.festvainqueur.com/contents/213608

+1. I also can't stand joke bands, especially Golden Bomber and Kaitou-whatever- the-fuck

Current GazettE. They literally sound like the whitest vkei band I've ever heard. I come to Japanese music because I want to hear something other than stereotypical American Metalcore. However, 2002 to 2010 gazette is much more enjoyable. Especially their 2002 to 2006 era. Most of the wafuukei bands in the scene right now. I normally love traditional Japanese aesthetics, but most of the ones trying to do it now sound just like every other Vkei band but with bad Koto and Shakuhachi samples. I think if you're gonna do it, at least include some Japanese music theory or traditional Japanese vocals. Basically, I ain't saying you got to, but try being Kiryu, Guruguru Eigakan, Memento Mori, or Kagrra. Not really a band, but the newer Dir en Grey fanbase that came in because of Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero who think it's cool to hate on Vkei and say shit like "Wow, early Dir en Grey sucks and so does all of Visual Kei just because they wear makeup"

The romaji title is "Pinky Rensou" with rensou meaning something like "love affair". Great buys btw!

^Well, this is the only video of theirs I've ever watched all the way through, so I don't know if it holds true for their other stuff, but there's just something off about his face and how it looks next to the rest of his body. It's like the excitement just suddenly cuts off before reaching his eyes in some of the shots...

Singer is once again not in this video. I wonder where he went.

Here is one way: 1. Start band and label. Apply for a loan to fund label. Can be bank, can be from a sempai, can be from parents, etc. 2. Budget real good. 3. Use some label funds for band activities. Use profits from band activities to pay back those internal loans. 4. Bust ass working hard doing your day and night jobs. If you do it right, you could earn back the money you put into your band to pay off the first loan, and then your label is ready for the next step. I suspect these bands that run their own label are also putting up personal money to fill the gap.

The singer from DOG in the PWO creeps me out.

This. I can't stand the Raid. Used to like them but quickly got annoyed with it's members. Never liked Golden Bomber and never will. Also generic opinion, but I can't stand Mejibray and Gazette. I agree with what everyone here is saying about 0.1 no gosan. Also sorry, but I don't like lynch. Also have irrational dislike for Satoshi (ex. DIV, Laplus). Idk, why.

INSAAAAANNNEEE everything about this is amazing--sinister and organic sounding strings, subtle progginess, that insane djent breakdown, the urgency, the fact that its basically 7 minutes long .... hail kizu also 2003 kyo is elated at this MV concept, ESPECIALLY the CGI noose. Does anyone know what the meaning of the MV was?!?!?! reminded me of suicide circle

EARLY Mejibray was good. Also the gazette is boring, like super boring.

I second this. To me, the majority just seem to sound the same as each other or are clearly coping an older band/artist. They lack charisma

I like deluhi and leda but cant stand far east dizain because of the vocalist who ruins every song for me despite me liking the instrumental

I hope your fav band will disband, so you could get your priorities straight.

I can't stand 3/4 of the new vk bands that debuts every year. Most of new bands just suck. (and mejibray is good)

+1 on Mejibray tbh, they were terrible and so is their fandumb. I also can't stand Pentagon, 0.1 no Gosan, LA bate (REAL garbage tbh), The Raid, BP Records bands, and other pop bands. Also, I'd like to give Dir en grey a chance, but I can't help but get annoyed whenever I see anything about them, especially their even dumber fans. also Lycaon.....my younger vk noob self is c a c k l i n g at what they've become now 😈😈😈

I second the hate for most colorful bands. Can't stand them, especially An Cafe. I also can't stand X Japan. Their music isn't terrible, but their fans treat them like the second coming of jesus when in reality they sound just like any other western 80's metal band. This triggers a special kind of annoyance whenever I hear them. Also I hate Versailles and anything Kamijo does.

They pretty much did disband.

If they don't come back full time I'll be SO disappointed!!!

They're too busy trying to look cool, which just comes out as disinterest.

Not against this at all. Fucking love Netflix and how they work, and I'm positive towards a project like this.

title of the unpublished track has been decided to be titled "CODA" and album artwork has also been announced https://twitter.com/bravemanrecords/status/1066303801978642432

Even if it's just a blah release one more song, at least it's one more song. I wonder if they're just testing the waters to see if there's room for a comeback?

Another best of album? Oh, super exciting. sarcasm Too bad it won’t be a full revival. Wish I could build a teleporter to see them live.

What a horrible tracklisting compared to their last best of. However, I’m excited for their one-off show. I just wish it was permanent. I miss them.

they should also do a one day revival/mixed session band with members from LuLu, and call it DELULU
