I think this is an unpopular opinion but:
 
When it comes to the matina label I think Madeth gray'll are quite overrated.
Sure they were great but there's bands on the label that I prefer much more.
 
Vice risk, MIRAGE and Syndrome to name a few. 

I can't connect with most fans because of what you mentioned above. I hate it because I truly want more J-rock/vk friends, but 9 times out of 10 when I try to initiate a conversation, it ends up being about Dadaroma and such. I'm not so much of a vk oldfag that I shun all newer bands--there are actually quite a few that I like, they're just the few that most fans don't bother checking out because they don't look like Gazette or Mejibray or whoever else. Like, there are so many other bands out there. Be more open-minded. I understand having a preference but I also don't get why people always stick to the same few without exploring anything else unless it's a carbon copy of what they like. Idk, maybe I'm just getting old.

Noi'x will hold a one day revival gig at Ikebukuro chop on 7th of april.
 
More details to be announced later.
 
 

You may have interpreted my post wrong. I didn't say I wanted more guitars (actually, I don't really care what direction they go in as long as it is distinctly Versailles sounding), I just don't think Hizaki's guitar play is distinct enough or make much of an impact for that matter. His longest solo in this release is like 15 seconds which is like WTF not to mention they are the type of solos that doesn't blend itself with the song. This whole release could easily be mistaken as a Kamijo solo.

I was also super fond of Genki's voice and the eccentric energy he brought to the band. I really hope that this new band can keep the same fun side that MeteoroiD had. I don't know yet how to feel about the preview, but I really want to like it and give this new guy a fair shot.

New look. It looks like these support members (Ayato on guitar, Zaki on drums) could end up formally joining the band.

This setlist with Bidoh on vocals...could they please make a video of this? 

I feel like i shouldn't like this. But I do.

The beginning of Crazy Tribe is the kind of stuff that makes you check that nobody in the train can hear the music through your headphones. 
 
 

K-pop kei realness

Sleepy kei? Sleep is good, sounds like my kinda band.

Someone have the digital single?
I found it:
 

I have always been very picky about my bands and now that all of my favorites disbanded over the last two years, Visual Kei just feels dead to me.
If I don't like the vocalist's voice, I can't get into the music. And while there are still some bands I find aesthetically interesting, like the art kei folks, their music isn't my thing at all. All of my friends go crazy about SAVAGE, DADAROMA, MEJIBRAY, MORRIGAN and to me, they all sound awful and I'm getting tired of seeing these same overhyped faces retweeted onto my timelines, so much that I developed a strong dislike, especially against Aryu and his pretentious instagram-Tzk-fanboy life.
I actually don't want to lose touch to the scene, I've been a part of this for over 10 years, but I'll be in Japan in a few weeks and not a single concert show but one sounds appealing to me.
I'm going to see Gazette's anniversary live for the sake of old times. I had tickets for lynch., then Akinori happened, so that leaves me with one show to attend. In 2012, I was at 16 different concerts. These bands all disbanded or changed for the worse. 
It's a sad feeling to watch myself grow out of something I love like that. But when I see others fangirling as hard as ever, I think it must be me.

Apart from a couple of nice songs I don't see, and have never seen, what's so great about Gazette. Same for Mejibray. 420 was a decent album, THE END was up my alley but I can't get into anything else. I don't understand the Dadaroma hype. And finally,  Nocturnal Bloodlust probably wouldn't have half the amount of fans they do now if the members actually wore clothes. The thirst in that fandom is real.

Same. Along with Ningen Isu too. They're both truly amazing bands and have been very influential on the Vkei scene itself, even though only the latter is technically Vkei, and even then, Nignen Isu is not widely thought of as Vkei, even though they fit the definition. 
I think Ningen Isu should be more represented in the Vkei community, having influenced Inugami Circus Dan, Kuroyuri To Kage and Caligari, and they definitely are visual. It's just that their sound has led them to be more associated with Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc. As most early Vkei bands were doing styles from New Wave British Heavy Metal, Ningen Isu was inspired mostly by older Metal bands, like Sabbath, Priest, and Deep Purple

Onmyouza is my shiiiiit. I wish they were more popular.

Every time I tried discussing about Morrigan's music with other (older than me) fans I was met with utter silence.
 
But If I bring out how cute Aryu's last selfie was everyone replies.
 
It's so frustrating.
I suddenly felt really lucky... I have an amazing group of 10 + people in my own country, nearly in my own town with whom I can actually have meaningfulish conversations about newish bands that aren't Dadaroma and such... I wish other countries had as many VK fans and as varied as there are here :/
