Just seeing those two words together makes me want to drown in my own tears.

THE PARTY DON'T START TILL THIS ONE PLAYS

Was awaiting this topic to let off some steam on it.

If anything, Enon is probably at the height of his career now thanks to this. There's no excuse that Enon doesn't get the same treatment as Becky, and now that I think about it, why is she getting all this? I didn't know about the detail that she didn't know that he was married until later. That just screams that he's the one to blame, he's the one that deserves this instead and not her. This whole thing is all wrong and has been treated wrongly. So done. My sympathy goes out to the wife mostly and Becky.

@beni and I will be on dub at the usual time today!

oh noez! better not use emoticons or exclamations, guys. Expressing yours excitement in that way would in that way will get you caught by the maturity police.

here are individual pics from them.

Cool news, and I like the look, even if Kaoru looks like a gothic keebler elf.

Hmm, I think the J-Urban Thread would encompass this.

Edited the thread title for you.
Not 100% sure on the facts but Utada Hikaru is fluent in English and has English releases for America and Europe (surely if 'Merica, yes?) in her discography. Sarah Alainn has various cultural ties and is clearly not Japanese (she's Australian iirc) and sings Japanese and can do covers and has original songs in other languages outside of English and Japanese. That goes for Liv Akane too, who has even more connections between cultures and has sung in not just Japanese and English.

Hello Everyone!
I'm Lucas, from Argentina. Here comes a little introduction.
 
I'm 26 years and I play the violín in a band named "Mandoble"
Some of my favorite bands are Malice Mizer, X-Japan, Versailles and Sound Horizonm
 
I'm glad for finding a forum on this days hehe, i missed joined one
 
See you around!

When you think this day has already been pretty strange but you scroll down thru Instagram & find out Koichi listens to Kanye..whuut?

who let ruki dress them

the topic of lyrics has been discussed a lot on here, whether they're important or not etc its all subjective lalala.
for those of us that take them heavily into consideration/find them important, who are your favourite lyricists?
a lot of my honmei bands are distinguished by brilliant lyrics, thats the way i can latch onto a band. if the vocal is expressing themselves in a way that i can relate, their music and words take on a new, more sentimental value. of course, the lyricists mentioned wouldn't have resonated without a decent western following who translated lyrics, interviews, other material; so im sure there are a few artists who are equally brilliant but not mentioned similarly in the western fandom as there simply aren't resources to understand what they're saying.
none of these translations are mine
 
mako (ex. deadman, kein)
 
temari (ex. amber gris, ruvie)
 
hitomi (ex. moran, fatima)
 
daisuke (ex. kagerou, the studs)
 
tsuzuku (mejibray)
 
ryo (keel)
theres a bunch more great lyricists (nigu, kazuma, yuuki, ruki, kyo etc), but these are my favs tell me yours!
i swear im not that big of a sap

Happy birthday @akri and @Naaaaani.

Hello
 
Lurker for about 1 week deciding time to say hi!
i am not good at intro so this will be quickly!
 
I am 20 year old and currently I am a student with a pediatric caare center. Always looking
for new music on my free time.
 
My likeness in music does not lie with one specific genre/country. 
 
Chinese: Forest/Carsick Cars/Aristophanes/Morning Call/Shin/etc.
 
Japan: Yura Yura Teikoku/Plastic Tree/The Novembers/Dadaroma/The Dresscode/ etc.
 
Korea: Nell/Norwegian Wood/Louie/OOHYO/A-Fati etc.
 
 
 
I look forward to getting to know many and maybe contributing from my own collection something different!
 

^ Remove le spoiler boi and grace us with your presence completely u-u <3
 

 

 
Thought it's been a while. Been a while touching makeup too.

They did one of my favourite VK songs.
 

 
Gotta love them, they do really neat and catchy melodies. 

Firstly, thank you, @CAT5 for your constant commitment and improvements to this. This revamp has been the best yet!
 
@Zeus, it's terrific seeing THE BLACK SWAN being commented on, especially by yourself. I have yet to get to the release, but it sounds well worth it as expected.
 
@emmny, brilliant to have you. That's a real neat blurb, and while I can't say much at all on DEZERT, bless you on including them, it's a great choice.
 
@fitear1590, LILI LIMIT, instant thumbs up. That was a wonderful release, they just keep getting it on point. koochewsen always sounds lovely, it's cool seeing them reaching more people thanks to @doombox and @seurong as you've said! LUCKY TAPES and LONDBOY are new to me, and now I'm going to have to go on a hunting spree for more from both!
 
@CAT5, I'm rather interested in METAFIVE with your comments on it including @doombox's play of them in dub. I'll certainly check that album out at some point. ATATA sounds right up your street, and is something I'd like to listen to more of. I wasn't expecting those vocals, I really like what I'm hearing. As you know with NakamuraEmi, I enjoyed that album. It certainly flowed and was organised well. You picked a super neat number too. Really deserving of more recognition. Unfortunately, Galileo Galilei I couldn't get into. It's a nice album but not compared to their earlier works if you ask me. It's quite different and therefor rather far off from what I love from them that I can't embrace it fully. A wonderful pick if I just block out it's Galileo Galilei. XD It's a bittersweet moment, ok ;; 
 
Thank you @yakihiko for your double contribution! Matenrou Opera is really getting on my good side recently, they seem to be improving all the time.

Hey, everyone! 
 
Some of you might already be familiar with us, but this is Shattered-Tranquility.net, a visual kei news site run by volunteers that has been operating since 2007. We post everything from breaking news, to release information, to translations, to live reports, to original content (My VKei Room, Flashback Fridays), and more.
 
Recently, we've been reaching out to more bands for interviews, and with those interviews come giveaways. If you have any ideas regarding the site or bands you'd like us to reach out to, feel free to contact us.

Hi!
 
I'm Doris but a lot of people know me also as Elle
 
I'm mexican, 25, I studied Cybernetics Engineering, I like videogames (Xbox ONE and a LOT of Leage of Legends xD!)
 
I like VK since 2007... I know this page for a long time ago but idk why I didn't make an account before orz.
 
Anyways, I'm a BIG MASASHI (Versailles/Jupiter) fan D: a lot of people know me because of that lol 
 
Some of my fav bands are Versailles&Jupiter, LIPHLICH, Matenrou Opera, Black Gene for the Next Scene, Moi dix Mois... Also Megaromania, VII-Sense, DELUHI, A(ACE) (RIP all of them), and a lot of bands, but these are the ones I follow the most.
I also follow KAZ (ex.VII-Sense) on his mini projects and now with Riku on chariots (yay!).
 
Nice to meet you all~!

I have such a love/hate relationship with Naruto. Probably growing up has made me realize how not so creative Kishimoto is. The fact that he leaves out even Sakura as one of the series' leads and not give her many good factors just because you're 'not good with female characters' is annoying. And don't get me started on all the supporting characters like the other teams. When was the last time Tenten even spoke? It's super irritating once you start noticing all of that, and it's not like even Naruto gets many new improvements or upgrades. it's literally 'MASSIVE SPIRAL ATTACK GETS BIGGER' every time. XD But keep enjoying, I'm just ranting now lol. I admit I did end up reading and completing the whole manga, which was worthwhile since it was the only long running series I've been with for years. Too bad they seem to be miling the cow? All those spin offs, I just can't be bothered anymore. X'D
 
Punch Line I really liked the look of, and I love that opening song, but I'm in an agreement even in just episode one that it seems muddled. That's too bad with such well done art and music, and I've read comments on people either hating or loving it, with someone saying it's 'the underrated gem of last season'. I dunno though, wish I could give it another shot but I'm adminent because there's so much else to get to.

I was itching to make this thread. The only English artist I actively follow, Paloma Faith has made an impression on me ever since I heard 'New York', her second single. She's released three albums, and I feel as if she grows with each one. The improvement between each is really amazing and shows her getting better as a singer and songwriter. She's known for her vibrant outfits and bubbly personality. I'd suggest her to those who also like Amy Winehouse (I'd also link similar lyrics too) and Duffy because of their similar pitches. Faith is both quirky and adorable when off the mic as you can see here (as well as her usual attire), and when singing, the contrast between her spoken and singing voice is both humorous and endearing. It'd make my day seeing other fans who might be here, but if not, hopefully you'll enjoy her if you're new to her.
