Not too wild about their new stuff, something just seems missing. But it's awesome to see Wyse back in action like they never missed a beat!

Well, I've never been to Japan, or a karaoke bar, but I do think I slay at "Faith" and "love around" by e.mu. I listened to those two so much throughout the years, I don't even need the lyrics, especially with "love around" XDD

I hear ya Ikki. I was actually surprised how little X were in the lists. Like, I would've thought they'd be in, like, every list except two or so XD. Yeah, I was very fascinated by the lists I got.

Apparently so. At the very least, a pre-visual band that were massively influential to the movement. So I guess that counts lol.

Heya everybody! So a week or so ago, I promised I was in the works of something special for the site, and here it is! Okay, so I associate with a good amount of guys who were active in the visual kei scene. Most of them retired, some of them are still active. So, I decided to reach out to figure out what their top 5 visual kei bands were! I've gotten several responses, so I thought I'd share them with you all, since maybe some of you would be interested, especially those who are super hardcore into old school kei like I am. Enjoy!
