OH I just remember, most thing I dislike about starwave are those live limited CD/merchandise. merchandise is also pretty idiotic that it doesn't appear in the website.  or that stuff only appears in the japanese webshop thats also annoying.

Here's my only problem with Starwave: I've always found its bands boring. For myself only, they've always lacked the je ne sais quoi that makes a band special.
But there are tons of good things about Starwave. The shittiest, most unpopular band will still be guaranteed good costumes, nice photoshoots, several releases, a full album, live DVDs, PV collections, etc. I think that's really great, honestly.
And seriously, Starwave is one of the few labels to treat overseas fans like humans. That's really refreshing, in what's otherwise a pretty xenophobic culture.
As far as KIWAMU? Idk what people accuse him of, but it doesn't really matter imo. This is shitty music for 16 year-olds, so who cares if the dude is mean? My idol is a tax fraudster who sells bootlegs and fakes hospital visits--but he's not running for office, so why should I care?

chariots live-limited single "閃光(senkou)" will be released at their live since their presents live "more glitch reception vol.1" at Ikebukuro EDGE at 2016/04/15 (1,500yen)
 
[track list]
01.閃光(senkou)
02.words no freedom
 
 
their live-distributed booklet will be provided if presenting their distributed single "棘咎(togetoga)" at their presents live at 2016/04/15

you have a point (no pun intended btw)
 

botox kei is very real

Ryutarou definitely got some Plastic Sur-ger-tree done (excuse me).

Sometime after Chandelier his chin became very pointy.

MiA did something to his chin/jawline (???) too I guess (since his earlier photos had that bloated outlook or idk). He is basically VK Human Barbie (or Ken?) to me anyway.

When people try to justify discrimination #ByeBitch #HowStupidCanSomeoneBe

The proper term would be "onnagata". I love these types of bands, although I honestly don't listen to them a lot. I wish there were more onnagata bands who do kotekei, like way back then.
 
btw i don't like the term "trap", it sounds so demeaning, but that's just personal preference

just wanna remind that one-man live is FREE, and their LIVE PV shooting is NOT conditional to no. of attendants there

kisaki feeding off the souls of relevant bands for his upcoming new project

''once u pop u cant stop (delaying the recording sessions 4 ur new album)'' - yoshiki

I'm dying at the jokes here, totally incredible!!
And @Madygrain not that they "blamed" him by saying "we're postponing all this shit because of Pata this is his fault" but realistically if the album itself was ready to go his health wouldn't have been an issue they could have just postponed the performance until he was well. So REALLY the album was nowhere near done and they used his health as a scapegoat more or less

they will hold their first live at Ikebukuro EDGE at 2016/05/17, and their song "implore" could be listened to in their OHP

this guy never cease to amaze me, please quit music.

I'm going to get "It's so fxxkin spicy" tattooed on my ass

LOL, I feel ya. Even with years of exposure to VK, I was mildly confused when I first saw this PV ages ago. I've also shown their PVs to people who are oblivious to Japanese music, and they thought he was a she too. But I also see how his squeaky vocals could be misconstrued for female too - @ghost seemed to have a bit of trouble making them out in the recent trade-off thread. XD

Omg! I honestly didn't know she was a man! He does a good job then ^^;; (then again I only listened to this band only one time)

is this some dumb all star session band/live announcement? are these artists all joining forces to finally end the shitshow we call visual kei? is this a legitimately interesting band? who knows--STAY TUNED

Sui(megaromania) Ryohei(ayabie) and kaya are best at this. 
 
Yuuki-sama is legendary though so he shouldn't even be mentioned 

Finally, a thread to discuss trap music
 
 

^ I know it's a silly question but how could a group copy a song that's only been online for 15 days, while the single was released a few days before that date (and even then, for them to copy it, they would've needed to hear it months ago to put it to disc). Cool tune btw!
