Well, I've got a good amount. 16, to be exact. Kasutera (カステラ) - "Tori (鳥)" (1990): The title literally translates to "bird", so there you go, a cover centered on... a bird. And not just any bird, but an emu. Alright..... interesting choice? STRAWBERRY - coming all the way E.P. (2000) Okay, I've seen a few hideous drawings as covers, but this takes the cake. The girl literally looks like a sick, teenage Barbara Streisand, with her body looking twisted and contorted like she was fighting off death. It's just... nasty. Kome Kome CLUB (米米CLUB) - Phi II (1994): Okay, I see what they're trying to do with the whole Washington, D.C. theme, but it just doesn't work. The coloring of the background and the lack of stripes on the structures they're supposed to represent just makes them look like PEZ dispensers. Flipper's Guitar - CAMERA TALK (1990): "Camera talk"? Well now, it sure as hell covers that theme. You have some old foreign dude on the left, with the floating hands on the main part of the cover representing his hands, I presume? I don't know. It's quite an eyesore though, and the scribbles don't help. ELECTRIC EEL SHOCK - SLAYER's BAY BLUES (2000): The guys in ELECTRIC EEL SHOCK have a damn good sense of humor which I appreciate (I've been a fan of Bloodhound Gang since I was in middle school, for example), but the comically poor photoshopping of the singer wailing on one of the members just makes it a bizarre spectacle. UNICORN (ユニコーン) - Hattori (服部) (1989): One of the most legendary Japanese rock albums of its era, the cover still bewilders many to this day. Apparently the guy is some dude named Fukutaro Nakamura (中村福太郎), who supposedly had some connection to the band? Whatever it may be, it definitely remains one of the most memorable Japanese album covers to date for its weirdness and maintains a legacy of sorts today. KEMURI - waiting for the rain (2005): Soooo a schoolbus is broken down which holds the bandmates of KEMURI, and one of the kids on the bus got out and took an extreme closeup of her with the band wandering in the background while a giant fountain sprays simultaneously? ... Makes sense. KUSU KUSU - cajon (1991): Seriously, this cover just gives me the creeps. They look like the kind of guys who sneak into your bedroom and just watch you sleep. Those damn colorful freaks. THE FOOLS - Weed War (1984) Well now, for a drug war, that is the happiest person I've ever seen involved. I guess she may be a huge drug pin that the government just can't take down? Un...touchable. YUKI - Melanchorinista (メランコリニスタ) (2006): It's no secret, but I have a huuuuuuuuuuuge crush on YUKI. I can't even listen to JUDY AND MARY a lot without swooning like a schoolgirl. So when I heard that she did a "nude" cover of sorts, I immediately jumped on it and Googled it in a heartbeat. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Seriously, this looks like a woodsy Sapporo dude's fantasy come to life. Not cool. SPIRAL LIFE - FLOURISH (1995): What the hell?! I guess this is a close view on the Tokyo perv of the mid 90's? But where the hell is the bottom half?! You know what... I guess I don't want to know. SUPERCAR - OOYeah!! (1999): Now don't get me wrong, I love me some SUPERCAR, especially pre-"HIGHVISION", but what the fuck is this?! A collage of the band members's noses? THE ZIP GUNS - THIS IS YOUR LIFE (1997): Something about this cover feels exploitive and makes me uncomfortable. RC SUCCESSION (RCサクセション) - FEEL SO BAD (1984): Ahh... ohh... umm... no comment. TRICERATOPS - KING OF THE JUNGLE (2001): Homoerotic Japanese Tarzan, anybody? Speaking of... Skip Cows (スキップカウズ) - The Great Hunting (ザ・グレート・ハンティング) (2001): Yeah... sometimes covers can speak for themselves.

As one of the manic uploaders on here, I have to say the past two years I've been around have been a blast. Lots of cool folks, and of course the drama can be delicious, but I digress XD. A big shoutout to the main heads of MH and a very happy anniversary to the best forum dedicated to Japanese music on the web!

Maaaan I remember when I used to like Emmure and Oceano. Good times.

Everything came today! Terrifically packaged, awesome quality and great communication. It arrived pretty quickly too, which is awesome! Totally recommended! Thanks again!!

Oh, and if anyone has any old school VK comps (the older/more obscure, the better!), feel free to PM me!

Welcome! I'm still a baby when it comes to listening to visual kei myself, about half the years of you XD. Sweet profile pic btw, Missalina Rei were gods.

Ooooh VulgaRise? Interesting.

Softkei overload <3

Ahhh I forgot Disqloc!! Ahhh I spun the SHIT out of the single five-six years ago when I first got into VK. One of the last nu metal VK bands I know of. Man, this brings back plenty of very, very fond memories.
