Obviously there are a ton of factors here, but I honestly wonder how much music these people listen to outside of DEG and Gazette. There’s also the question of when did they get into this, because I know when I first started out with Gackt, Malice Mizer, and DEG, I thought everything else was inferior. It’s not that the music was better than what I had been listening to, it was just different. It sounded new. 
 
We know the average VK fan can often be blinded by adoration, but goddamn are you really ACTUALLY listening to the music itself when you claim you like every song your favorite band has written?
 
I’ve only been on this forum for a few years, but it’s nice to be able to have real discussions without having to pussyfoot around giving criticism. I don’t know if you guys managed to weed out all the toxic trash over the years, but I appreciate the VK safe space. 

This "feud" thing in music confirms how little comprehension people has of music in general... for example I read that people are pissed because Dimlim's singer uses clear notes, claiming that he is copying Kyo, as if only him can sing such in a way... there's a BIG difference between SIMILARITY and RIP-OFF! But in general the fact that people goes out because they hear something "belonging" to previous band is so boring, because music is free expression and we can choose whether liking it or not, that's it. I think there's so much useless drama about that...

A cool hard rock style from a band that usually plays Metal or Touhou related music. 

What's funny is I thought this song sounded familiar,but turns out the chorus sounds kinda similar to Malice Mizer's "Au Revoir" which also includes  "眠りたい" in the lyrics.

From what I can understand, the album "SMELL STAR" which should have been released in July was delayed.
The band have been having some troubles with 渉(Wataru) for one year but  from 2018.04.08, it worsened. In February 2018, they tried to take the time to solve the problem but it was unsuccessful.
I think that this part tells that they have been struggling speaking with him since that date and they do not know how long it will take him to confide in the other members.
"渉くんが自分の言葉で発言、発信できるまでにどれくらい時間がかかるかも分かりません。
しかし彼自身が自分で向き合わなければならないことですし、僕らも彼に向き合っていくしかありません。
彼の味方であろうと思っています。"
This problem affected the other members, staff...
Kuga feels that Wataru is overburdened with expectations, responsability, worry, and disappointment
They are considering to go on a hiatus/disband if the current problems do not resolve. 
 
The following lives will be carried out :
・8月19日　高田馬場AREA　
・8月25日　umeda TRAD　
・8月26日　名古屋E.L.L　　 
・9月9日　　東京湾レディークリスタル

Hard to say if Kuze is an upgrade from Zin. I think overall its an improvement because it gives the songs a totally different vibe. From Japanese VK to European Power Metal. Being the Japanese Angra is not bad at all.
 
Kamijo's solo project is still way better than Jupiter.

Finally got a proper vocalist, I will get their new single now

Now they have the same singer of this awesome song??
 
Life is full of surprises and I am happy to be shocked in this way!!

My memory could be off, but I think the melodies you're referring to really have their origin from songs off of Holy Grail. It's not like 1-1, but I think it's pretty similar. I've noticed both Hizaki and Kamijo like to take stuff from that album.
