steal her look

Announced earlier in the week. Title and release date will be announced later. The plan is for a summer release. Apparently, more details will be revealed on 2/9 as he's planning to open a memorial site to celebrate his 25th anniversary on that day. There will be a cover of BOUKYAKU NO SORA inlcuded, but it sounds like that's the only track he's covering from his own (solo/kuroyume/sads) catalogue. He's moved from TRIAD to PONY CANYON. He's also planning to release an autobiography. https://kiyoharu.tokyo/info/今夏カヴァー・アルバムリリース決定！/?lang=en

finally decided to make an account after lurking the past couple of months! recently starting to get back into vkei after a 10yr + hiatus. my favorite bands were mucc, dir en grey, merry, girugamesh, and probably more that I can't recall. although mucc was the band that made the biggest impact on me, I haven't been able to enjoy any of their releases from over the past 10 years lol. oh well, I still have hope. since updating myself with the current scene, so far I am super impressed with dimlim and kizu. looking forward to discover new music and possibly go to lives with others living here in Tokyo (y)

'Ten' x 'Ten' is actually a secret code for the number of disbands this guy needs to make happen before retirement

Wow. It takes a certain level of perversity to have four members playing actual instruments in your band and then release something where you can literally only hear the vocalist, a teeny tiny quiet guitar solo and a massive wall-of-compression electro-schlock.

at least tenten will be back with a new band within like half a year

Ru:natic setlist @ 1/25: 1.Sepia 2.4月29日 3.真夜中ﾉ日傘少女 4.桜 5.PalaPsycho 6.精神欲求不安定 EN 7.精神欲求不安定 (3 times)

REASON MV:

2013- Vo. Ricko [twitter] → JILUKA(kanata→Ricko) Gt. Sena [twitter] → JILUKA Ba. Boogie [twitter] → JILUKA Dr. Zyean [twitter] → XALTEA(裂夜/Sakiya) → JILUKA (2015-) Former members: Dr. JaiL Website | Twitter | Youtube | Ameblo | iTunes Might as well add JILUKA ahead of their new mini album release next week... JILUKA are an intriguing oddball quartet with a ridiculous amount of talent and one of only a handful of visual kei bands to have featured in Young Guitar Magazine. With guitar-head Sena at the helm, vocalist Ricko with a bottomless pit of lung capacity, bassist Boogie who likes to boogie and drummer Zyean blasting his way to 300 bpm completing the lineup, they draw their inspiration from an assortment of influences from classical music to heavy metal - conceptualizing heaviness with melodic lines. Zyean who joined the band in 2015, lists black metal, brutal death metal, technical death metal and power metal as his go-to subgenres; with Mayhem, Darkthrone, Dimmu Borgir, Meshuggah, Cryptopsy, Gamma Ray and Sonata Arctica among some of his favorite bands. And following in the footsteps of senpais like Fumiya from Galneryus, Kouki Akita from GAUNTLET, and Shuji from Gyze, it’s easy to hear this energy dictate the rhythm of current JILUKA. Despite their short years in the industry, JILUKA comes across as a band serious about their music – making fast progress with their hard-earned skills and backed by the producers of DELUHI and Galeyd. Although admittedly JILUKA's earlier works greatly borrowed from Deluhi, they’ve really come into their own in recent times. It will be interesting to see how they'll mature and grow.

I noticed some very strange things about Kisaki's bands Levia and LAYBIAL, which were around in 1993 and 1994. For example, this is the tracklisting of the MISS tape by LAYBIAL. 01. Dejavu 02. MISS 03. virginig Plesures 04. Refuse 05. MOTHER 06. One More Love Official source: http://under-ground-music.com/kisakihppart/english/DiscShosai.php?shohinNo=000009 Also in the mid-90s there was a band called VICE∞RISK. They released the tape Mother and this is the tracklist: 01. Virgining Plesures 02. Refuse 03. Mother 04. One More Love I saw the lyrics sheet with my own eyes, so I can confirm that it's real. Now let's look at Levia's KELOID tape: 01. KELOID 02. PRAY Official source: http://under-ground-music.com/kisakihppart/english/DiscShosai.php?shohinNo=000007 Around the same time there was a band called Nude of J. Their 傷痕 demo looks like this: 01. KELOID 02. 恋に焦がれ愛に埋もれ 03. PRAY I also saw a sheet of this tape, the tracklist is legit. I can upload pics of the VICE∞RISK and Nude of J tracklists, if you guys want to see a proof. So.. Can anyone explain this? For me, it doesn't make sense at all. VICE∞RISK and Nude of J seem to be COMPLETELY unrelated to Kisaki or his bands. I even compared the member names, because sometimes members went into different bands and rerecorded songs they've written for another band, but there's not a single similar name anywhere. Was Kisaki making things up when he decided to release information about this old bands and just took random songtitles of obscure bands from that time? O: Or did the bands just covered each other, which is highly unlikely... I know there's a KISAKI history book out there. Maybe someone here owns it, so we could compare the titles? But I'm 99% sure that it will contain the same information as on that UCP site.

NoGoD new mini-album 『』 will be released at 2019/04/10 (2500yen) [tracklist] 01. masque 02. Borderline 03.シアン 04. far away 05. DOOR 06.そして舞台は続く

Ok, i know this is kinda pointless... BUT for some reason i always have been curious as to the sexual role of the gay guys i know (here and in real life) ... Call me a perve if you must lol. But hey, i'm open about it, so i'll start. Fudge packer or getting fudge packed? Bottom/Vers. ps. Also curious as to the fact it can be cultural, statistically latino and more 'masculine' oriented countries have a higher percentage of tops than countries like england and america (which i think have more bottoms). Sydney where i live...there seems to be an abundance of bottoms lol.

The band returned?! https://twitter.com/kumonoofficial line up now V&G.芥空朶雷磊 V&G.皆川鳳凰丸 B.田沼龍紫郎 D.志賀康之介 But I've no clue how to read there names can be anything. They don't seem to have twitter themselves? Edit: And yes it's weird, appearing, disappearing now appearing again, and not even showing a new look... or to give a bit more information.

this is so not versailles hahahaha

It's quite a long way down lol If you need any help hit me up 💯

"...to the end of the sky even THE BLACK SWAN can't flapping..." It's a bit too long but I think it's much more impressive than the last!

After the JoJo inspired new look I thought something good was coming. When y'all come back,bring MEJIBRAY too

According to the biography, the band will only last for a limited period of time. (【謎の期間限定プロジェクトSecretGarden】) The bassist's name seems to be "Michelle". The other guitarist's name seems to be こーすけ(Kôsuke) https://twitter.com/Nether_Michelle https://twitter.com/kosuuuuuk

Just in case anyone is interested in numbers/stats, their music video oshimai just broke half a million views woo Will be interesting to see how many 0 gets in the long run, it's already creeping up on Steroid

Of course Tenten, we knew that, don't worry

i LOVE Cinema Bizarre so MUCH Cinema Bizarre was a german band from Berlin. They describe their music as synthpop, New Wave, Gothic rock and pop merged into some kind of glamorous pop. They released their debut album, Final Attraction, in 2007. As of January 2010, the band has announced that they would be going on a hiatus. Members: Jack Strify (bday. on August 20, 1988) – vocals Kiro (bday. on January 11, 1988) – bass Yu (bday. on December 29, 1988) – guitar Shin (bday. on December 12, 1989) – drums Romeo (bday. on August 4, 1988) – keyboard Former Member Luminor (bday. on March 22nd, 1985) – keyboard and second vocals please no hate comments

thank you!! haha sounds like the visual kei scene hasn't changed too much

I'm already counting on it @TheZigzagoon

Mao gtfo with your Ai voice and bring in Yugiri

There seems to be a lot of us going to the London show, it would be cool if there was a London MH meet up on the day!

i dont even know if these guys count but throwback to my middle school days

THREAD RESURRECTION TIMEEEEE... I've been in a post-hardcore/screamo/metalcore mood as of late, so I'm gonna spam my spotify playlist & some of my favorites here.

Same. Hibari’s a designer and you can check out his recent works under #COCDESIGN. Some of the bands he’s worked with include MERRY, kizu, GOEMON RECORDS bands and Mathilda

Who doesn't love old school exist trace ❤️ nice songs overall, I need to give Stereopony a listen. Here's my random pick: L'Arc en Ciel - Secret Signs Kagrra, - Miyako Acid Black Cherry - Flying get (cover) Ruiza - One the GazettE - Shadow VI II I Do As Infinity - Umareyuku Monotachi He Deluhi - Coda Tommy heavenly6 - Dark dark Sky Ayumi Hamasaki - Moments LM.C - Brand New Rainbow Had to pick that Ayu ballad, it's just too good and filled with memories. Kagrra,'s song was my other pick.

Nada contra DT, eu até curto uns roles mais puxado pro estilo do Pain of Salvation, Marillion e Steven Wilson, mas eles nunca curti, vou sacar esse rolê Eu andei um tempo longe do jrock/vk e agora to em viciando de novo curioso esses momentos que a gente tem eu escutava incessantemente de 2005 (quando conheci) até 2009, aí só fui voltar a curtir em 2015 e to nesse vai e volta dessa vez mais viciado do que antes

LOUD GRAPE

I looked into submitting them there but it seems like a bit of a hassle so I will just continue to post them here for the time being until I figure it out. 2019/1/25 at Shinjuku Antiknock シガラミ …物狂ひ…なりて D.hymnus vanitas 愛憎につき Malformation Ambitious Principles A few people posted videos on Twitter as well

Just bought my London ticket! I only got general admission Must say, VIP prices are......extortionate

About the fans that upload his bands' music online?

Okay this rumor is spreading but I’ve yet to see anything that says this is anything but a joke lol. I mean all power to him either way, but I’ve seen nothing concrete beyond someone taking what was probably a several months old joke seriously all of a sudden.

Aw that was a nice stream. Tbh humanization of idols is important lol and I mean, his voice isn't anything special at all as a vocalist, but he looks like he's having fun.

The thought of Ryutaro Arimura playing for Nokubura is hilarious 🤣
