HELLO. I'm Rae. I've actually been a member of the forum for a very long time, I've just never posted. My favorite bands are D, Dir en grey, D'espairsRay, MUCC, One Ok Rock!, Versailles, and many others. I'm also an avid cosplayer and nerd. Nice to meet everyone here!

Hello guys. I've been here for a long time, but now active. My name is Roman. My English is not very good, but I try My favorite bands are KEEL, 9GOATS BLACK OUT , deadman, DIMLIM, gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy, Kizu, DIR EN GREY Thank you for this wonderful place

Vidoll was probably my all-time favourite back in the day. I own most of their discography and was obsessed since their early days. I enjoyed the Ayano-era the best and played their I My Ai Mai PV over and over. Rame's prominent basslines had me hooked. Boku Boku is a gem and Face Mayura, Face Pisaroto, If...Rebotomin and If...Torikabuto are still some of my most prized CDs. Although I lost interest after their major debut, I still followed and liked some songs here and there. Bastard was a solid effort, but I mostly liked the b-sides from their singles, like Red cube, Gaga Syrup, and Berry Jam Cleaner.

01. Sepia - 1st official release on his live-limited single "Dinner of the Slit Mouth" on 2016.06.06. 02. Tragedy Night of Restraint - This song was shown in his live on 2016.12.22. 03. S - 1st official release on his Demo "Kuro Namida de… Shuumaku wo…" on 2010.06.05. 04. a decomposed body - If I remember correctly, it was shown in a secret live in 2014. (If someone has more information I would like to hear it.) 05. (bonus track) - Regarding the date that appears on the CD (2008) could be some Lu: natic song, which appears on his CD "楽園歌 2007～2008 THE WORST" (DIE PAST DIE, Seishin Yokkyuu Fuantei, among other. And some that does not appear on that album and were composed by Kijin in that project - CD : 事実からハ・・・逃レらレなィ・・・コノ楽園歌で・・・(2008) and 生命ノ・・・青ィ糸が・・・(2008)) Btw, I love that he throws something new every time they give a concert ^^

Ru:Natic will be distributing a new mini-album at this upcoming live, entitled "Welcome to the RU:NATIC family." It contains 4 tracks, plus a bonus track that Kijin confirmed was also an old song. From the looks of it, these are most likely rerecordings of old songs (track 2, I think, was on one of their 2016 revival singles (not sure which...), and track 4 was on their YT channel a while back but wasn't released afaik). The track list is: 01. Sepia 02. Tragedy Night of Restraint 03. S 04. a decomposed body 05. (bonus track)

I think the only post-INNOCENT TEENS song that stuck with me was Puzzle ring unfortunately. I do need to go back and check their later b-sides though, as I'm really enjoying Red card! They had so much great songs early on, geez. The Mayura and Pisaroto minis alone are better than the discographies of most bands around these days. I used to watch this DVD and the 浪漫告白 one all the time back then. Jui's vocals during 透明ナカゴ >>>>

Getting in on this hype so I can actually remember what came out this year and be persuaded to listen to more shit in the process yas. For now it's only the name of the release with a short description. New categories, scores and dates being added in the future.

Good shit and stoked for future releases. Genuinely old school sound unlike most of these bands just playing nu-metal and deg songs in frilly clothes and hair. I think improvements could be made with some production choices/limitations and with Karma's performance, but considering that it's a band of nobodies with most likely zero budget in the dog eat dog host world of vk in 2019, it's fucking great and not for poseurs

Yessss ♥ More vk bands need to film music vids in junkyards, lol.

Well sorry for the off-topic XD i follow kiryu for 10 years now and i've never heard about that. - The little mahiro thing: he's literally a little. he's super small. - The kun thing: He's younger than the other members so it's normal that they call him kun. What I'm saying is that he's not THAT younger. They are all 3X - The family thing also means nothing actually. They may compare Mahiro to a child because he's super selfish and the members take care of him all the time because of his health If he was actually 28 he would be starting his first band at 12 hahahahah no way. If you look for the info that you're saying in Japanese, there's nothing about that as well. Also, if you see him in person you can see that he looks old as the other members. He IS some years younger than the others, but not THAT younger haha. I'd say that he's around 33 while Takemasa and Mitsuki are 36 So yeah, you was deceived hah

tbh i missed on quite a few cali gari releases, including 13 (guess i have to catch up now), as i didn't listen to vkei much for past few years. notable part of my excitement about 14 is coming from joy of reunion with the band i used to love 〜 so my opinion is relatively biased. i liked 3-6 and the last 3 tracks, and i rarely like more then 4-5 tracks from a full-length album. 死は眠りを散歩する is interesting indeed. i love that while sticking to their unique sound one can never mistake for anything else they keep experimenting. and i was so surprised when heard 拝啓=BGM’s first seconds, that song surely gives off some future funk/vaporwave vibes. so yeah great album and i’m happy they keep working successfully after Makoto departed (although it’s a shame).

Goes to show that I've been listening to the same songs 100x times a day for the past 3 months. Don't send help, I am ok.

there's another angle to why this is reported so often in public (as opposed to the Japanese habit of shunning issues - i.e. in visual kei you'll have apparent suicides disguised as accidents or death/retirement issues never explained in public because the members themselves live relatively private lives) - the bands you're pretty much posting on here exclusively have disturbed, creepy male fans; "hearing issues" is a respectable opt-out of a toxic scene that doesn't seem really removed from general idol mess that literally came through this week again: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/international/8493058/j-pop-girl-group-ngt48-apologizes-discussing-assault-yamaguchi-maho I don't think ramen-fed mouthbreathers have a normal human response to their metal-waifus wanting to have kids and healthy families.

Still quite new to posting but they released a short MV SPOT only on twitter And apparantly the full MV will be released on 20 Jan at 21:00 (GMT+9) hopefully on youtube too Sorry if info format is wrong >~<

Yeah this is really good. I think the production is more on point than other recent kotokei bands. That guitar tone and the bass is really great how they mix in and out of each other. Good start to 2019.

#tbt to when people hated this band cuz of the vocalist

Vo.業-karma- (ex.AvelCain) Gu.拓也-takuya- Ba.誠-makoto- Dr.和樹-kazuki-

Who can ever forget Giru taking on the role as a lead singer in the making-of? On a more serious note, Puzzle Ring is a great song.

Ugh, so many great sections in this song. It just keeps giving, like finding a treasure every minute or so lol I love Vidoll so much, but have to admit I need to give their near major/post major stuff a little more attention. Another one of my favorites is Mayura Pisaroto. I love the pace of this song and as usual, Rame is healing me with that bassline (also I think there's an album version that sounds a little different to this one?)

I haven't listened to 14 yet, and I haven't listened to much of their newer stuff, but I totally love their old stuff. Especially Dai 7 Jikkenshitsu. That's my favourite album of all time from them

Looks like they're not going on hiatus or anything - they announced that they're playing monthly shows at Takadanobaba AREA from April to December. I wonder if they're going to have a support bassist or if they already found someone new? 【AREA 22nd anniversary～LIPHLICH -Monthly- Oneman Show～】 4月25日(木)高田馬場AREA 5月10日(金)高田馬場AREA 6月14日(金)高田馬場AREA 7月12日(金)高田馬場AREA 8月10日(土)高田馬場AREA 9月14日(土)高田馬場AREA 10月12日(土)高田馬場AREA 11月9日(土)高田馬場AREA 12月22日(日)高田馬場AREA http://www.liphlich.com/news/

^ Good to see Mako came out for his yearly awkward photo appearance, haha.

deadman were definitely one of the greats. I love the god and death stars and KEEL, but man...I wish deadman would make a comeback and a couple more albums. blue badge, himawari, rem. and in media are still on heavy rotation for me to this day.

hi there!

I remember them being well liked when I was first getting into the scene way back in like 2002ish. I had my favourites then so I didn't pay too much attention, but I do remember finding them pretty unique and experimental. I also remember goatbed being a pretty interesting band, too. Now that I'm older I think I appreciate them a lot more now. 14 is a solid effort.

I don't think the artist gen works but albums still do. Worth a revisit.

I do not think that "売れたい!!" (Uretai) will be sold again. I think it means that "今売れたい!!" (Ima uretai) is a second press of that album.

In all fairness, Utopia was pretty bland. Their discography afterwards is almost always on point.

I was rather skeptic, going in, having heard the previews and Phalaenopsis in it's entirety, but after digesting the whole package, it was really pleasant. Karma's, let's say, unique voice in unison with the great bassist really carried the EP.

Special website has been opened for the upcoming album "光る曠野" (Hikaru kouya): http://morrie.jp/shiningwilderness/ It will be first available on 4th March at the tour final, and general sale will start on 2019/04/19. The exact tracklist is unknown at this point, but the album will contain 11 tracks, including the following titles: 神髄 (Shinzui), Melancholia Ⅲ, Danger Game, Angelic Night, Crusader On the website they mention a 2CD version (album + instrumental) but I'm not sure whether this means that all editions will come this way, or if there will be two versions (regular and double-disc). edit: @Kiyoharu is God I think it'd be worth re-writing the thread title now that we know the official title.

I managed to keep up last year Let's continue. V-kei / J-music World Music // OSTs Last update: 22/01/2020

Hearing issues are common with musicians since they play loud music live for over and over again. Honestly, I attended a metal/rock show one time and I got to stood on the front row and exposed to these high frequency noises and I did get temporary deafness for a day after that. Imagine getting that but almost daily.

I'll try it too this year if i don't forget halfway through
