AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
i hope it's not live limited
 
+1 on the other released songs being included 🙏🙏🙏

I feel like 2017 is going to be shit and I'm gonna cry a lot but whatever. Don't have many predictions because I haven't been keeping up with much.
 
GOTCHAROCKA go on a hiatus or disband near the later end of 2017 (I will fall into crippling depression because of this) sukekiyo is going to snatch my edges again with a new release.  So will THE NOVEMEBERS Dir En Grey will go on hiatus??? Maybe?? Pentagon will continue to disappoint me (and probably go major) Arlequin will come out with another bomb album Initial L will be okay, but they won't have as much popularity as they previously had MEJIBRAY will continue to vomit out releases near the first half of the year, then lose steam (and I will still continue to dislike them) Someone else is going to pass away (let's hope not) KISAKI COMES BACK Purple Stone gets a HUGE boost in popularity Another band will come out of nowhere and rock and everyone's socks off An AINS band will disband

I've been waiting for a new release from them! Looking forward to it! <3

My predictions
 
DALLE will be on hiatus
Hollowgram will release a album 
keel will not change, just releases and more releases

-ryo will realize the agony he's putting us through and finally release original content (or announce it for the following year)

JILUKA releases a new mini-album or full length
A few new bands join Starwave Records and take on the heavy metal or power metal genre
Still waiting for someone on BP records or ユナイト to release a mini-album since the last few years.... 
See something with the XodiacK 
A mini-album for the GazttE

A few predictions.
THE NOVEMBERS will release either a new single or an EP. I don't think they'll be quiet, whatever the case. 八十八ヶ所巡礼 will drop an actual full-length album to make up for leaving us musicless in 2016. cinema staff will release SOMETHING. these guys have been putting out music like crazy. 凛として時雨 hopefully put out something redeeming. maybe a new single? ....or 凛として時雨 return just to disappoint us again. TK makes another anime theme. This time, his most annoying yet! siraph will drop another amazing EP. another new lynch. album [2] downy goes back into hiding for another 3 years.  
That's all I got for now. I do hope for new music from some lesser known bands that probably aren't worth mentioning, though.

Good morning!I am introducing again (I was very active some years ago but didn't write for a while honestly). because finally I have a chance to come back to Japan for a longer period than last time and to enjoy some visual kei lives, and I want to get updated with new bands.
 
I am a 22 years old girl from Milano, Italy, who is majoring in Japanese at university. My Japanese level for now is a lower intermediate, between a N4 and a N3. I am interested in visual kei and Japanese subculture since I was 12 years old thanks to anime.
 
My favourite visual kei, Jrock and J-metal bands are (well, half of them is disbanded lol, thank goodness there are other awesome bands still around :D) R-shitei, Merry, Kagerou, D'EspairsRay, Dir en grey, Mucc, girugamesh, The GazettE, Vidoll, Ayabie, Dio, Nega, Kiryu, DIAURA, SuG,  An Cafe, MEJIBRAY, lynch., Plastic Tree, Miyavi, Maximum The Hormone, ONE OK ROCK, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, BUMP OF CHICKEN, the back horn, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, coldrain, Crossfaith... Speaking about western music, I really like nu-metal, grunge and metalcore.
 
For now I have been able to see some visual kei and jrock concerts just in Italy because every time I went to Japan (sadly not that often XD just twice for now) all the lives I was interested were already sold out or I did not have enough time (like it was a last-minute trip because I found a very good plane offer and so on), so I really can't wait for the next time as I am planning to see at least 3-4 concerts of some of these bands I listed here XD
 
I am also really interested in anime and manga, videogames, art and design from Japan. I also enjoy and like to learn about Japanese traditional culture as well but that doesn't stop me to be interested in subcultures as well.
 
I would really like to know some new visual kei and jrock bands who recently formed and you think are good, so try to suggest me some new bands ^^
 
Best regards,
 
E.

Ooh, another Dadaroma and kpop listener!
 
Welcome!  

Yay another roleplayer! Welcome to the forum

I wonder if he'd take pics of gotcharocka

I write fanfiction too, for some anime (mainly Naruto) and vkei as well. 
 
Good luck with your writing!

I wonder the same thing...Jui's been keeping up his looks pretty well. Jun too.
 
Loved the music video <3

I have never liked this band. Honestly, this band is not a big loss ^^"

Yesssssssssssss. Didn't think they'd make another MV!
 
Would love to see an MV for "What little love"

Get ready to be disappointed
 

It's mostly just fanfiction tbh,  a lot of Love Live stuff. I 'm planning to start a Vkei one soon~
