Shion all the way for me! It's catchy with lots of cool songs, while I could never get into Kuchiki no tou that much... not to say it's bad, because it's still pretty good, just not something I'd listen to regularly. It drags on for quite a bit and most of it sounds too boring to hold my interest (unless I'm just listening to it in the background).

Ahhh Rentrer en Soi!

As some of you may know, My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND is basically my super band because of SKULL and Tenten. 
My favorite member is Daisuke, and I've been following him and the rest of SKULL since 2004. Because this is my favorite band right now, I decided to do a drawing of each member, my first being Daisuke~
 

woooooooooo~ poop.

So I started working on something new...
Unfortunately I wasn't really impressed with the band Call Me, however I thought that the theme of Minpha's look was really cute and it was a kind of image I'm not used to drawing so I wanted to try and capture the different textures in his clothing and head piece as well as take this opportunity to practice drawing objects in peoples arms. I haven't gotten to those parts yet, but here is the rough outline so far. 
 

 
I still need to refine things and clean it up, but that takes so much time so I'll just get the whole sketch out and then I'll make things better looking. 

As for the previous drawing I was doing... I lost the file somehow so I won't be finishing that one. sorry ;___;
 
EDIT: I did a little more, I still need to redraw the head piece better and go over the outline of the hair and add more texture... I may just scrap the color all together and start over =___= but here is kind of something headed in the direction. Still kinda poop though.

Banned for being God. Godmodding.

anyone besides kyo and shinya looks just awful, like what the hell

Toshiya is the new Ben Hur ? (sorry XDD lmao I immediately think about that when I saw this picture)
I still love Die's shoot.

Why does kiwamu always have the grumpy cat face? 

Welcome here and have fun! Nice band choice ^^

MOTHERFUCKER YOU CAN'T BAN ME! I'M GOD! LITERALLY!

That's perfectly fine that VK no longer sustains your interests - just be wary of allowing your shift in opinion to digress into some kind of hypocritically jaded hatred for the scene and it's fans.
I say this because all too often people who experience these kinds of evolutionary moments in their musical journeys feel the need to criticize, belittle and demean their past phases in an attempt to validate their current interests. One needn't do that, because when it comes to music, your tastes are substantial regardless of what you listen to and regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Although I definitely understand the need to have your tastes validated...it's something that feeds the ego (which i think we're all hardwired to do). But once you realize how purely ego-driven it all is, then I think you'll realize how fruitless of an endeavor seeking such validation can be and that music taste (in this case your shift in music taste) isn't that big of a deal.
But hey, none of us are supreme enlightened beings (except for Bear - he's pretty perfect ^__~) and we're all guilty of seeking validation and just wanting to reaffirm ourselves in many ways. So to answer your question again - is it a bad thing that you've lost interest in VK? Absolutely not! Listen to whatever appeals to you - just remember that everything appeals to someone, so even if you've lost interest in it, at least try to maintain some level of respect for the scene and it's fans. ;3

Well, Tetsu from MERRY is currently on leave ... but I don't play bass, so I would thank them very much but tell them that it was a ridiculous and bad proposal and invite them all out for dinner.

To be honest I often feel like the Visual Kei scene is like one big dog show. With one band trying to be more peacocky than the other you shouldn't be surprised to see so much snobbism among visual kei fans. It's a shame though when a good band is underappreciated because it's not 'visual' enough, but then it doesn't automatically mean that a famous band is a good band. With a few exceptions, somehow I always find the gems among the less known ones.

Everyone looks good with 20kg of makeup + photoshop. It's not rocket science. These guys obviously are dead afraid of aging

Why should anyone need to feel bad about growing out of a music genre? That's like feeling bad about not watching Barney anymore. Different things are bound to appeal to you at different points in your life.

Congratulations! You have realized how shallow the depths of visual-kei is. Now feel free to look beyond the lake that is visual kei and move into the ocean of alternative J-music.
[/sarcasm]
But in all honesty, the reason why we split the download forums into two is precisely because of users like you - people that tire of visual kei music but not necessarily Japanese music and are looking for a bit more. Don't limit yourself because of labels or phenomena or "omg what would zess think!?!?!". If you don't like visual kei anymore, look elsewhere. I guarantee you there's plenty of music in Japan alone to keep you occupied.

Hey, I'd still do Reita.

Wow that's a toughy.
I'd say sex though because I absolutely CANNOT live without music.
But then again, I want children. But, I live for music so....
wow -k∆- way to ask an impossible question!
I think at this time I would say No sex Yes music. I've never been "physical" so it's hard to say for me.
 
 
Would you stop doing something you like (i.e. eating sweets, listening music, etc.) for one month if a family member or friend asked you to?

I see. Haven't done paper machè since I was 6

Seattle Grunge Scene - I really didn't think for myself when it came to music when I was younger. I was just interested in whatever my peers where into and while I was young during the grunge explosion here in Seattle, it was pretty much the cool thing everyone was into. It pretty much set me up for being a rock'n roll kid 4 lyfe.
The Offspring/AFI - Aside from the typical NW grunge bands that where on all the radio stations I was pretty into The Offspring for awhile. Up till their Americana album. Believe it or not AFI use to actually make good music when they where on Nitro records. The Offspring did a cover of one of AFI's songs (Total Immortal) which made me start listening to the band. Usually I associate the two together since for awhile that was what I exclusively listened too. These bands kind of kept me safe from the big Nu-Metal craze but I did have a brief affair with Nu-Metal.
Blind Guardian - My best friend bought Somewhere Far Beyond on a whim, we saw a picture of the band on the back and thought they looked pretty tough and plus the cover looked cool. I remember us leaving the mall and popping this album in the CD player in the car,
is the first song on the CD. It starts off with a nice little acoustic opening, pretty calm and melodic. However having no idea what style this band played we where caught off when the guitars kicked in and ended up head banging the fuck out to this awesome song. Blind Guardian steered me right into European metal and all was good.For Japanese music ~
Malice Mizer - At first I hated them, keep in mind that at the time I only listened to heavy music like metal and some punk bands. So when my friends showed me a fruity MM video with Gackt and Mana pracing around like douche bags (Au revoir) and telling me that was Japanese metal. I laughed in their face, thinking Japanese metal was just super gay pop crap. So for about a year I didn't listen to anything from Japan because I thought it was all animu themes and pop rock. Then I saw the Bara no Seidou VHS AND THAT SHIT BLEW MY MIND. Curious about the band I Googled them which led to MP3 rotation sites (Anyone remember those LOL!?)
Aliene Ma'riage & Noir Fleurir - Because of Bara no Seidou mind fucking me, I ended up Googling for MP3s and used to follow MP3 rotation sites before getting into torrents and Soul Seek. I ended up with a lot of crap but specifically two special songs would be Gyaku～norowareta orugoru no naka de～ from Aliene and Rasen no shinshou fuukei from Noir Fleurir. These I clearly remember as my first song from these guys, almost instant favourites and still my favourites from these two bands. These where my gateway bands that led me into the train wreck known as Kotekote kei.
