    Update:
    little HEARTS. privilege is re-recording CD 「Monochrome -vanished ray- Acoustic Version」 (+ cheki). That one has been purchased and will be shared.
    Someone is possibly buying from PureSound (3 track live CD), and will share if so.
    fiveStars privilege (new) is a live DVD from last year.
    (HMV privilege is a totebag, and live privilege is a photoset.)
    So still hoping someone will buy from fiveStars (live DVD), ZEAL LINK (live DVD), or PureSound (live CD).

    I'm amazed no one has mentioned Aki from Arlequin's fox-ear hair. I know some people are sick of it, but I think of it as a trademark.

    CRAZY fangirls and those who like to "roleplay" as them on tumblr. It's so embarrassing to me. "I'm Minpha-sama, 18 forever, single, here is my fake e-mail address" and they reblog the most random, unrelated shit ever. 
     
    Discography limits (i like it when bands just well... forever make shit). It's pretty depressing when a mini and a single make up their discography lol. ESPECIALLY if they are GOOD. All these "privileges" and endless photosets that i miss out on too. ;( It's just more and more money though.

    I hate that anti-fans are only really a thing in japanese vk fan culture. more people should be actively rooting for the destruction of bands they don't like. like mejibray.

    In all seriousness, my main issues lie mainly in most trending visual bands nowadays, and even older ones, not giving much thought to what they are doing. Cohesive, worthwhile concepts of the past have been shaded by a large plethora of groups that either pay huge respects to their biases sans peculiarity ("tribute bands"), or just attempt to storm through effed up repertoire of sounds and tones for the sake of garnering "oh, look, they are diverse!"-praises (I am gonna let you figure out which acts).
     
    It doesn't take a genius musician to realize what could complement flamboyance and "visual shock" of your performance, ffs.

    definitely that feeling of finding a good band and only finding out later they are either disbanded or on hiatus.... or finding a really good band and then they disband shortly after you discovery because of "musical differences"... : /

    Ditto! I think a lot of this ties into Japanese culture at large. It's a pretty gross aspect, and one I wish that more foreigners understood before throwing all their emotions into this shit

    My main issue with the visual kei scene isn't really represented in the options here, and it's something you generally get more in touch with once you get to Japan and get to experience the scene.
    Firstly, the fact that a large majority of visual kei musicians more or less openly admits they don't have any artistic or personal integrity, they don't care what they produce and they don't care that their sound is exactly like every other band out there, because they know that as long as the members are pretty enough there WILL be fans, and they WILL pay you money for "company" and "favors" so that you can survive comfortably and keep rehashing the same song for a couple of years until you feel like calling it quits and do something more worthwhile with your life, or more likely, go into full time hosting business now that you have a decent circle of clients already.
     
    This sort of leads me into my second issue and it's the bangya culture. It's generally really vile, and the way the girls not only talk about the musicians but also each other is quite disgusting. If the bangyas decide that a member has done something they do not approve of, that doesn't live up to their perfect ideals that they hold them all to (because god knows the fangirls don't live up to any of them) they can easily start enough shit to cause a band to break up or force a member out of the band. The issues doesn't end there though, because the few foreign bangya that exists generally adapt to this mentality and lifestyle too. They openly shun other foreigners who dare attend the lives of "their" band and ruin their "specialness", they participate in this completely daft saizen system where a designated person basically decides who gets what spot at a concert so everyone can enjoy playing ten year olds doing the "you're not allowed to play with us"-games... And the obviousness of what really drives people to be fans of these bands become so apparent when they get to this level, and it's certainly not the music.
     
    To be honest, in a lot of ways I never realized how bad this was until I got there and could see it all for myself, and that's despite a 13 year stint in the scene by now.

    For me it would be the cost of everything. Visual kei music is just expensive, then when you get the multiple versions of one single involved...yeah even more so. In my opinion it's worth it, because I love owning the music but it definitely teaches you how to finance for such a hobby lol But I couldn't imagine fans who actually experience the visual kei scene in Japan and how much they spend on traveling, concerts, merchandise, etc.

    The number 1 thing in visual kei that pisses me off is how expensive everything is, and I'm not even talking about the insane shipping costs I have to pay too.
     
    It also pisses me off that Japan is so far away. I would like to participate the vk scene, go to concerts more often etc but it just isn't possible.
