girugamesh - 2012
A friend was suggesting music to put in for our crew combo video (Smash Bros) and giving them a listen, it took me a minute but after listening to more songs, they became a timeless favorite.

Warheads. 

Just received my CD today and it was in excellent condition ^^

I've thought about this a lot and I think I've come up with a solution
 
 
We need to ban americans, scandinavians and anyone who's been into vk for less than a decade from the scene.

The King of Fighters XIV
Street Fighter V

im so tired
 
also
 

At least they got to the point of putting out an album. Many bands can't even say that

Damn they were a pretty fucking solid band. Top notch releases. Hopefully they'll move onto another project together.

Sick² new maxi-single "デリバリー・メンタルヘルス" (Delivery Mental Health) will be released at 2017/08/30 (2 types)
 
TYPE A (2160Y) will include CD (2 songs) and DVD
TYPE B (1620Y) will include CD (3 songs) only
 
they will hold their oneman live tour "デリバリー・ヘルスケア"  (Delivery Health Care) since 2017/09/03 at Shibuya REX to their tour final "女の子を騙すだけの簡単なお仕事です。9" (Onna no Ko wo Damasu Dake no Kantanna Oshigoto desu. 9) at 2018/01/04 at AKASAKA BLITZ

This is funny because its seems as if BatAAr is no longer "so different" than the rest of the other Western VK bands. Even the Tekken 7 feature and how much they tried to make themselves standout from the other niche of bands couldn't save em from this drought that's the dwindling Western VK scene.  During the end run of when I followed them, i noticed that they don't even have that many shows in Sweden/EU these days. Japan is the only place they really tour and its once a year. Correct me if I'm wrong but you ain't eatin with just one "major" tour per year. Prob means that niggas ain't checkin for BatAAr (and the other bands) back home like they were before. Also, in BatAAr's case its very interesting to watch because based on some of the responses here, Patrik apparently used to down talk some of the aspects of these lame ass Western VK bands and now BatAAr has become the SAME thing. They aren't even calling themselves an "Art Metal" band anymore and The inclusion of the apparent king of Weeaboo's/how generic their music has gotten since then is the epitome of degradation.  As much as we don't like YOHIO here,  we gotta give the nigga credit where credit is due. He's prob caught on to the fact that the Western scene is dead which is why he took DISREIGN and moved them to Japan where they at least have a chance (?) at some relevancy. He's probably looking at this hashtag and saying "YIKES CANT RELATE!!!!" This hashtag will go no where. Search it up on twitter and besides Patrik's posts and probably Endigo's, NO ONE IS FUCKING TALKING ABOUT IT.  What sucks here is that I actually did like these guys up to when they lost their last vocalist and Bassist. They've become an embarrassment. 

Misaruka & Scarlet Valse collaborative coupling single "Secret Juliet" will be released at 2017/05/17 at EBISU club aim.

Deviloof will pause live activities after their live on May 3 to focus on recording their first full album~
 
They have also revealed they will be recording with their new guitarist!
 

Man... that's dark. He's the drummer just because he lost a game of rock-paper-scissors. He's made it work for so long too... ;-;

Hmmmm. I respect your opinion. I agree that Sakito is a great guitarist and he does great compositions and writes good lyrics. 
As for Ruka, yeah, I can agree and  I'll say that he doesn't show much emotion when it comes to DVDs or pictures for some reason :/
 
Ruka did want to be the bassist for Nightmare when he originally joined I believe?  But who knows? Maybe he's gotten tired of drumming for such a long time? 
As for the other members, Yomi's vocals were good in their prime but I am not too big on the recent change (I heard it was from smoking) and as for the other two members, I can't say much.

So I went on a shopping spree!
 
NIGHTMARE - Outlaw (rare af!)

Bad personality lol like he doesn't even pretend to be nice. Apparently xD
Diealo's japanese fans were mostly Haku fans, from when he was in Xepher, and they didn't like Naru much. 

As there aren't translations of this great song, I decided to do that as my first whole song translation! I tell you that my Japanese is quite basic and I tried to do an understandable translation, so you are free to comment anything about it!
 
Kanji:
耳鳴りが止まない
｢頭が割れそうになる｣

このvisionだけを見せるなら
｢いっそ殺して｣

for you

そっと呟いた
ここには何も残らない

噎び泣いた後
景色は闇に消えていく

幾つ夜を超えればいい？
消せぬ痛みを帰す場所が無い

絶望の雨が「君」を押し潰した
きっと…
この夜には救えない

独吟すれば少しは紛れると思った
悲しみは消えなくて

飲み込まれる

この悲愴に

唯　唯
僕は見ているだけ

独裁の雨が「君」を縛り付けても

優しい記憶は消さないで

絶望の雨が
「君」を切り裂いた
今も…
打ち拉がれるようにそっと崩れてく

切望した未来
殺した感情
もう要らない

消えかけた僕には見えないから

絶命寸前の「君」に何ができる

僕には触れられもしないから
 
Romaji:
miminari ga yamanai
"atama ga waresou ni naru"

kono vision dake o miseru nara
"isso koroshite yo"

for you

sotto tsubuyaita
koko ni wa nanimo nokoranai

musebinaita ato
keshiki wa yami ni kieteyuku

ikutsu yoru o koereba ii?
kesenu itami o kaesu basho ga nai

zetsubou no ame ga "kimi" o oshitsubushita
kitto...
kono yoru ni wa sukuenai

dokugin sureba sukoshi wa magireru to omotta
kanashimi wa sou kienakute

dokusai no ame ga "kimi" o shibaritsukete mo

yasashii kioku wa kesanai de

Translation:
 
"The rain of despair falling on you"
 
The buzzing doesn't stop
"My head will crack"
 
If this vision showed me only this
"Kill me rather"
 
For you
 
Softly muttered
Nothing remains here.
 
After I cried
The scenery vanished in the dark
 
How many nights I should go over?
There isn't a place where to return an indelible pain.
 
The rain of despair has crushed "you"
Surely...
I can't save this night
 
If, singing by myself for a while, I thought of being lost
The sadness won't disappear
 
Swallowed
In this pain
 
Absolutely
I am only looking for it
 
Even if the rain of despotism has tied down "you"
Don't erase the gentle memory
 
The rain of despair has torn "you"
Even now...
It softly crumbles as it has been struck
 
A longing future
Killed emotions
I don't need them again
 
Because I can't see it fading from me
What you can do before your death
Because I won't be touched.

| One of the most promising visual kei albums in recent memory.
 
After nominating their mixed bag of a collection album 中毒症状 (Chuudoku Shuujou) as one of the best of last year only to be greeted with a three consecutive singles campaign I would sooner forget about, the announcement of 不幸な迷路 (Fukou na Meiro) didn't strike me as anything particularly noteworthy to check out. I knew that ザアザア (XAA-XAA) had to bring the heat, but I didn't expect an album of this caliber from them. It falls a bit short of becoming a classic for me, but 不幸な迷路 is the most fun I've had listening to visual kei all year.
 
Ask me to define what visual kei is and what you will get is a lot of stammering and gesticulation, and maybe a comment on the style or popular genre of choice. Ask me for an album which embodies all things visual kei, and I'll point to 不幸な迷路 immediately. ザアザア has combined all the visual kei tropes in a familiar but new way, including some unfamiliar ones. For example, the band spared no expense in ensuring their disjointed album opener and closer SE's have nothing to do with the tracks they sandwich. Also for good measure, the album switches gears halfway through in a misguided attempt at showing diversity, starting with the very girugamesh reminiscent "ラストダンス" (Last Dance). They at least stopped short of including their sub par singles just to pad the running time. Some seasoned visual kei veterans would roll their eyes at these, but I embrace them all with open arms. It lends an undeniably last-decade visual kei feel to 不幸な迷路 without leaning on novelty or the band's laurels, and as a result its very easy for me to get lost in it. I can play the whole album without pausing once.
 
One point of contention I had with 中毒症状 was how lazy many of the bridges sounded. Bridges hold a song together, and often it was just one word or one phrase repeated eight times. I'm happy to report that this sin is only committed once on 不幸な迷路 with "落とし穴", and that a large majority of the tracks have well thought out, even memorable choruses at times. Ironically enough, my favorite track,  "排水口" - an undeniably MUCC-influenced slow burner that could earn a spot on the aforementioned 2004 album 朽木の灯 - has no chorus to it. I like most of the songs even if the vocalist Kazuki works within a very small tonal range, I don't remember actively hating or skipping through any song, and after five or so listens I consider this to be their best release yet. It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread, and maybe it has a few too many toppings, but it's a damn good sandwich for those with the corresponding taste. Only time will tell if future releases can maintain the same balance of familiarity and inventiveness.
 
I expected nothing at all, but 不幸な迷路 resonated with my stodgy, old soul in a way I haven't felt for some time. It strikes with an intensity and charm that took me back to my nascent years in visual kei almost immediately. I implore them to follow whatever creative workflow resulted in this album and not their consecutive singles release, because this works for them. Most importantly, in a time where there isn't a clear leader in the race to the top of the indie visual kei charts, 不幸な迷路 provides a compelling reason to choose ザアザア.
 
 
Support the band!
