But who actually considers "Hotarubi" legendary? I haven't heard a fan say "damn, I was spinning some 'Hotarubi' the other day and those firefly buzzes spoke to me spiritually". It's just...okay to me. On an album from an era with no shortage of ballads to pick, "Hotarubi" doesn't come to mind first. And "Zakuro" is so boring OMG.

This thread is a wild ride.

wow racist much?

Said every VK elitist who got stuck listening to moth-ridden bands yet is still active in the scene shitting on anything post 2010 that comes out lol

Some of Miyavi’s new stuff isn’t that bad 
 
Disorder is better than NIL
 
Yoshiki isn’t a bad person. He has a good heart. However, at times, he can be a bit much. When you’re basically the biggest Japanese rockstar on the planet, it’s kinda hard not to have an ego. I still stand by my opinion that the only reason you should hate Yoshiki is because of his ego. I feel like people run their mouths on him way to much on here. We get it already, he has an ego. It's kinda lame at this point. Just don't make posts about him if that's how you feel about him
 
May not sound unpopular but a strong opinion of mine.
 
Don’t force yourself to like every album of a band’s discography. For example:
 
- I love Dir En Grey, but I dislike Arche and TMOAB
 
- I love The Gazette, but I disliked Beautiful Deformity.
 
What I am talking about are people who act like ALL their albums are masterpieces and are like “your not a true fan if you like all their albums”. It’s a horrible mentality that makes you look silly. I've seen this in many fandom's before and it's honestly such a toxic mentality. 
 
I like all of Dir En Grey’s albums to some extent as most of them are great albums in their own right (Yes, even TIW), however I am very critical of Arche and TMOAB. Arche because it just felt too long and wasn’t worth more than one listen, other than a few songs and TMOAB because it felt like a disappointment after listening to Withering to death. That does not mean that all the songs are bad, I just don’t like them as albums. 
 
Also, don’t shit on others for liking a disliked or unpopular album. It’s stupid and immature.
 
 

it's me but i made a typo

i like your mom xx

omg a Zayn stan maybe?
 
the other names are practically this meme in VK form:

 

I don't hate any of their eras, but I'll basically third that. Tetsu era is kind of barebones in a way that doesn't suit their concept, and doesn't have anything as close to a perfect song as Le Ciel.
Klaha era is just too Castlevania/proto-mallgoth for my blood. As a general rule in music, I start noping out the second I hear harpsichord

Same.

Same. I actually only like the Gackt era.

Oof this has been dead for a while lol.
 
Here’s a few:
 
I actually enjoy some of Miyavi’s new stuff. Even if I prefer his early days and his DLQ stuff, I appreciate the new stuff. It’s catchy and fun
 
I perfer the Gackt era over the Tetsu and Klaha eras of Malice Mizer 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Edgelord-kei

I'm so glad I have no ear for those details.

i only listen to my music through recycled mcdonalds drive-thru speakers and TIW sounds amazing tbh

hi nekky x

Here are a few I thought of at the top of my head.
(Edge incoming! Edge is only suitable for a VK band, though..)
- maggotback
- writhing∞millipedes
- lipdust
- ✞li/bi/do✞
- hell's=Dance

Thx for this amazing romaji translation. So Kuroi Ame in Japanese, also Black Rain in English. My bad for sharing information. 
 
Also, as tonight was a big venue but not filmed for DVD or anything, they really let themselves go. Live was wild AF, and Reiki’s hairstyle was F’ed up after like 30 mins from headbanging. Maybe they did Encore but I had to leave before. 15 songs intense AF though. 

short ver. now, longer ver. on itunes, longest ver. on 『average flatulence』 PV DVD/BR next year I guess

tbh it's really not that bad of an idea to crowd fund releases or events, so long as they come through and actually happen. In this case, he's also bringing a team of people with him and isn't going to be sleeping on Whirling Black's couch (I think?) and that's pretty expensive. On top of that, it seems like he's organizing this on his own and isn't relying on some glue-sniffing promoter to fuck up the day of 

Je ne sure about this pas

The absolute bitterness and salt in this topic gives me so much joy.
