Total Saikou and 5 others reacted to violetchain for a post in a topic
Lol, after reading the posts in this thread I just imagined like a montage of YOSHIKI headlines. "Long-awaited X JAPAN album finally released - hits number 30 on the Billboard charts" "Legendary rock band X JAPAN collaborates with Oprah, crafts a line of best-selling home decor items" "Meet YOSHIKI, the head of X Decor, the brand taking it to IKEA" "X Decor's YOSHIKI is now one of the world's richest living people" "YOSHIKI transfers brain into mechanized body, so that he may live forever and 'escape the pain of his past'" "Mecha Emperor YOSHIKI promises that his new album is finished and will be released 'once all the details have been worked out with management'" "'While I can no longer physically die, making this album was so tough that it almost killed me' Emperor YOSHIKI confesses" -

2 pointsVisual kei headlines have brought us some crazy stories, from dramatic member departures to unlikely label signings, and even stories that are so fucked up that they make it to nationwide news for the worst reason(!!!). As longtime and newbie fans of this silly genre of sexually ambiguous men playing instruments, we should have fun making up our own weird stories/predictions like imagining certain scenarios that make you go "what the actual fuck" but sound newsworthy - in the form of "horror stories". Don't worry, this is all in good fun - and better yet, it might actually happen at some point! Anything can happen in vk after all! I'll keep mine short: -Virge joins Starwave -DADA/VELVET EDEN returns (again) -Kiwamu makes another band -Yumeleep ditches vk -ZIN (ex-Jupiter)'s project USA releases an Engrish album -Ryutaro Arimura performs with Nocturnal Bloodlust What crazy sick scenarios are running through your mind???

KAMIJO does a Gakupo and actually becomes a vocaloid instead of just doing collabs with them like he did with Miku that one time. Also, he does a cover of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's PonPonPon. I could imagine that happening, for some reason. I like him, but he's a weird guy. -
2 pointsThere should be a tribute to DEG album at this point. They have been around for a long time now. I really enjoyed the cover songs that was done on those Crush! 90s V-Rock albums. Merry, Mejibray, and R-Shitei did something on DEG songs. They need to do it some times, maybe in their 25th anniv or something. Also, hope they would release some kind of boxset for Gauze this year, since it will be 20th anniv of the album release.

Don't forget using Japanese flag as aesthetic too. Combined with non-Kpop inclusion, people will believe Visual Kei is Koreaphobic/Chosonphobic (For the Koreans up north) altogether That actually exists.. people where I live listen to that... Yoshiki making Country Trap would not be too far off.... -

1 pointTIW is def getting a budokan show. I don't even know why that's even up for debate. Dir's schedules are so unpredictable at this point so its almost impossible to predict whats gonna come before then, whether its more music or touring. As for the Budokan shows, the last one I legitimately enjoyed was DSS night 1. Maybe I'm wrong but that specific venue hasnt suited the live stuff they've done post Uroboros well. The instruments, mixed with the setlist selections and overall energy the guys are radiating has to do with it. I will give credit to specific performances on the ARCHE budokan lives though...

1 pointYou listen to many of the same bands I do, pretty cool. I don't know Variable Messiah though. the GazettE - Gabriel on the Gallows (live ver.) Purple Stone - Sakura Versailles - La Musique Develop One's Faculties - hope Avril Lavigne - The Best Damn Thing Xibalba - Guilty Morrigan - Under World End Xiss Aikawa Nanase - Hikari to Kage no Labyrinth Reol - Viora Hamasaki Ayumi - XOXO Well, this was varied... Gabriel on the Gallows is a banger and probably my favorite track on Division, definitely picking that one. That DOF track is one of my favorites too.

MORRIE announces 5th solo album 光る曠野 (HIKARU KOUYA)

Kiyoharu has been announced as being a guest on the album. He will be singing in the chorus to one (or more) of the songs. He will also appear as a guest in Morrie's 3/4 show at 東京キネマ倶楽部. -
1 pointThe only song I've heard there is the 黒百合と影. I do recognise a few other band names though, just never got to listening to them. Between The Buried And Me - Lost Perfection: a) Coulrophobia Between The Buried And Me - Lost Perfection: b) Anablephobia DIAURA - If ザアザア - 雫 the GazettE - DISTRESS AND COMA Variable Messiah - 転生の果てで THE GAZETTE - LUCY Plastic Tree - サーカス (Live Arrange Version) DEATHGAZE - abyss [from THE CONTINUATION] THE NOVEMBERS - 236745981 I! Was! Shook! That iTunes kept both parts of Lost Perfection together! Coulrophobia and 236745981 are the top two. I'm thinking about deleting DIAURA's If because it's kind of bland; their cover of endless loop is way better.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I legit thought about this cover too!!! Something about it just really captures that raw essence of early TBH material. either that, or maybe I'm just nostalgic -
1 pointChorus is catchy af. I haven't stanned Pentagon since their spoopy Ghost Hotel era, but they've been on fire with Mantra and now this. Good job, dudes. ❤️

1 pointI’d be okay with Jens Bogren mixing a full DEG album. I’ve come to like the raw sound of TIW, but my main issue is that Toshiya and Shinya are somehow up front and buried at the same time. For my money the worst sounding album is Kisou, though.

My Favorite Japanese Bass Player
DeborahArena reacted to Lereku for a post in a topic
Reika of D=OUT and Yuura of Kra with Tsunehito (scissor, D) and Naoki (jinkaku radio, the beethoven) these are the best bass players, theirs bass lines are very complex and difficult, unlike many bassists they don't only follow the rhythm guitar or the drums, their sense of groove is amazing and even if you use headphone or earphone of medium quality the bass is still audible. They are not vk bassists : - KenKen (Rize, Dragon Ash) - Hinata Hidekazu (Straightener, Nothing's Carved In Stone) - F Chopper Koga (Gacharic Spin) - Ue-chan (Maximum the Hormone) - Ikuo ( BULL ZEICHEN 88, Rayflower) -

Is it okay to ask someone if they're seeing other people?
Ultra Silvam reacted to Seimeisen for a post in a topic
Wow does this take me back. I went through something quite similar two years ago. ...... You seem to be handling this better than I did... and you've gotten further than I did When the guy in my story stopped texting me, I got angry-sad about it, and whenever he'd come back, I'd think I'd have forgiven him, but then I'd get angry again, for the first year I had no idea how I felt about him as an individual, I totally flip-flopped. At the end of the year, I wanted to meet up with him and try to reconnect like you did, but then I saw a new guy in his Snapchat story, and it looked like they were being all cutesy and shit, which really bothered me. A week goes by, I stop kicking the air, delete him on social media, and declare hatred. Another year later, today, that hatred completely fizzles out into "I don't know her" Enough of my rant, yes it's okay to ask if he's seeing someone else. As for continuing a relationship with him, definitely do not pursue dating this guy any further. Just don't! If you think you can be platonic friends with him, not resent him for being out of touch, and most importantly, stomach the sight of him being serious with someone else, go for it. And if you ever have the opportunity to, tell him about your feelings, at least for the sake of clearing the air. Be honest with him. However, if you have even the slightest problem with a strictly platonic friendship, drop his ass. If he can't make time for you, he doesn't deserve you. Plain and simple! -

Honey, he still had sex with you even when he knew you're drunk? And y'all not even official, on top of that? Red flag. He is not a good man. Let him go. And call the police. Like, even after married, people still need to ask for their spouse's consent to have sex. Let alone someone who's on dating phase, and always seems so ambigious about his feeling for you. He might just taking advantage of you. -

This time, I'll hold it all the year ! (no) -edit- 01/18 : As I expected, King Gnu's first major album is clearly a amazing album, I wasn't bored one minute ! -
1 pointPretty telling how people dislike it because it involves Karma, but since it's not br00tal and AvelCain-ish enough it's regarded the worst of all (even tough AvelCain was even shittier, since additional to sucky vocals no one could write or play instruments). The same people however praise nostalgic indie shit like La'veil Mizeria to the heavens, despite Kikyo being just as incompetent in holding his notes. If this band had some no1curr vocalist people would be creaming themselves, yelling "true saviors of Visual kei!".

Karma (ex. AvelCain) new project, "蘭図" (Rands)
pawzord reacted to The Reverend for a post in a topic
At first I thought 'wow, the song isn't halfway over and I've heard the chorus 3 times' Then I realized these MFers made a music video that is 40.2% credits. -
1 pointAlso I actually think they sound fuckin' awesome live! Hopefully Danger Crue 9th will try to put them onto Wacken Open Air or something similar in the future because they could definitely have an audience there and they did get girugamesh there before and they never were anywhere near as heavy as Deviloof even at their heaviest. Working with Яyo could offer a lot of advantages and one of those advantages so far has been production quality which was actually really high. I have high hopes for Deviloof, I've been saying that since they signed with Danger Crue 9th but I it was confirmed with 開花(Kaika). Regardless of whether they continue to get hate or not they have improved vastly and I honestly think they've proven themselves now with this latest release. I think they can even be popular among a western audience with just a little more exposure, Wacken would definitely be a good starting point. They also would do well to put their music on Spotify because a lot of European metal heads would love Deviloof's sound and maybe even American metal heads(although less likely I can tell you from MANY experiences). This band has the potiential to appeal to an actual heavy metal audience and not just a Visual kei market. But all of this I suppose would all be up to their management, label, or whoever decides these things for them lol. I would do a European Tour with Deviloof and Jiluka and toss a Wacken date in there somewhere. lol All of this is unlikely but I guarantee you if attempted would actually be possible but let's see if the label or Яyo, or even Deviloof themselves would ever even think to go that direction. *sigh* would be nice though. #hire_me_deviloof
