I'm not going to edit my last post for the third time, sorry
 
I don't know how to appropriately describe my feelings towards this song and PV because my thoughts are so... inappropriate. I've been listening to this non-stop for a few hours and I still get insane goosebumps. I've watched the part in 2:53 at least fifty times already. My pulse is constantly over 120. 
 
Damn you guys, why you gotta sound and look so damn divine???? 
 
Also Keiya pls, couldn't you be a little less charismatic and good looking? I gotta write a 20+ page lab report and return it in four hours or I won't pass this course BUT I JUST CAN'T FUCKING FOCUS ON ANYTHING ELSE
 
SERIOUSLY GUYS
 
OK NOW I'M JUST RAMBLING BUT WHY IS THIS SONG SO PERFECT AND ALSO 2:53
 
#erotickeiya #420 #blazeit #pantiesonthefloor #purplelove #cantgetenough
 
 
EDIT// ALSO GAK PLS

What is happening

OK and now I noticed Fuma's buff arm AND GODDAMMIT THAT LOOKS SO HILARIOUS
 
I think I might have contracted purple fever. Symptoms include (but are not limited) to the following:
 
- sweating
- labored breathing
- crying
- laughing
- goosebumps
- falling from the chair
- inappropriate thoughts
- disappeared panties
- hot flashes

Wish they would play DERACINE and DEUX instead of BLEMISH and LUCY. Didn't expect to see Chizuru, the rest is pretty cool I guess 

OP sounds a lot like me a year or two ago so yeah, this might be it actually. You don't have to always limit yourself to vk-only pleasures if you find current vk scene to be well, totally shit? I can say this from my personal experience: it doesn't hurt! Just start out with "borderline vk" bands and venture further into more casual ones (some bands coming out of my head):
 
- Jikkendai Marmot (perfect "borderline vk" example - genre pool varies from gypsy jazz to swing music and whatnot)
- Kannivalism ("Helios" might be a good fit if you are really interested in post-rock-ish influences a la vk way)
- DIMMDIVISION / Dim My Division (read above)
- Sibilebashir (Nice throwback to "angstier" (think of Kagerou or even Mucc) days of vk but in much more maniac-like way)
 
But yeah, don't be afraid of looking "outside of the box" as well.

I'm trying to figure out how to tell you that:
 
You're burning yourself out by trying to catch up for lost time (I'm assuming you took a break?) You're rushing to conclusions (If you DID take a break) We all agree with you Tough it out You're having a VK mid-life crisis but I'm lazy today

The modern VK copy-pasta formula song writing. Heavy verse, melodic chorus, heavy verse, breakdown, bridge, rinse, repeat. I know 90 percent of these new shitty kei flavor-of-the-week bands are just learning how to write songs but for fuck's sake try something new. 

a friend just made me watch babymetal
 
fuck babymetal

I've had it for a few months now and I don't follow many people and vice versa, so add me, it's in my signature 

All these bands coming up nowadays and their vocalists sound like crap, or they just have really awful technique.

I braced myself before going through the thread and I've already been somewhat hurt by someone's personal scale of attractiveness (how black people are on the dead bottom of their scale) and it brings back to how the world treats the black woman as one of the most unattractive beings that have ever walked this planet. As a black woman, it's constantly thrown in my face how I don't fit into societal norms of beauty, and though I haven't had much dating experience, I'd like to date someone who shares partially the same struggle as me, or in other words another person of color.
Also remember that "racial preferences" can intersect with fetishizing (and don't even challenge me on this).

Still haven't checked out Paranoia, but their singles are usually pretty strong. Their last album was kind of dull, so here's to hoping they stepped it up a bit.

Those are some of my favorite bands too welcome to the forums!

This is only from what I've heard but I'm not shading Yuuki at all here??? Tone it down a couple notches, I'm just as excited about the possibility of Lycaon returning just as much as the next person. With the Eve and Yuuki release, I did think that he was possibly trying to pursue something else (perhaps the utaite part is incorrect, but I was thinking of solo activities?)
 
I also never said anything about Yuuki's vocal capability so outta here with your misguided understanding of my statement???

i never message/tweet at band guys despite them being all i follow lol but y'all have been successful maybe i'll polish my japanese one day and finally message MiA to quit visual kei forever

takeru blocked me

I just finished Game of Thrones (the Telltale game). In the beginning I was pretty into it, but then some stuff happened that was out of character, and it became apparent that no matter what I did, all the main characters were fucked. So I made it my mission to get as many of them killed as possible. Really good voice acting though. I love the accents in that series, and it's cool that they got the real actors to do voices for the game.
 
Up next.. ? Maybe Tales of Zestiria. Then I will get to work on one of these games that just arrived:
 
Meanwhile, still chipping away at Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel on my Vita. This game has pacing problems, but the combat is alright. I don't think I will play another game in this series, though.
 
 
 
According to the internet in general, you should try out Stardew Valley. 

I'm a fairly casual gamer so I'm late on many releases... I'm currently playing Harvest Moon: Story of Seasons.
 
May be boring to many but hey, I love farming simulations

1.) that tomo pic literally tore my pussy in half
2.) dadaism#2 is actually banging i love it (minus that jazz deathcore disaster of a song), great improvement from dadaroma!

FINALLY!!!!! SOME REAL TALENT !!!

I am actually still not entirely sure how kote kei is truly defined. Some use it only exclusively for the era of the mid 90s to early 00s. Others use it for the really early VK bands like Sleep My Dear, ROUAGE, etc as well. And some just tag every band with heavy make-up and complex costumes as such, regardless of musical influences and style. True though, that the late 90s, early 00s bands are far more popular and well known overseas. It's simply that most of the  foreign oldschool fans are probably those who have gotten into VK in the early to mid 00s. Back then the style early Dir en grey, Syndrome, Malice Mizer or old Gazette had a style, which was really well-loved and some even emulated it (I remember the fashion accidents of self-proclaimed “Visus”. They looked more like Hot topic shopping mallgoths, ugh)
 
I also got into VK thanks to Dir en grey and D'espairsRay. From there I discovered some earlier late 90s groups like Malice Mizer or Luna Sea. Only then I slowly went back in time to find and love Laputa, ROUAGE, old Kuroyume, etc. I tend to favour super edgy kvlt VK from the late 90s indies period, but most of the early 90s stuff, especially anything with a heavy post-punk influence, is up to my alley. The problem though is, that apart from a few bigger “must know” groups like X or Luna Sea, the majority of really old VK bands have been forgotten outside Japan. Hell, there are even enough foreign VK fans nowadays who have no clue who Malice Mizer are.
 
I am no VK history expert and I always welcome people to enlighten me with more information. But as I know the Visual kei label didn't really become wildly used until the first half of the 90s, but VK and proto-VK bands date back as far as the mid 80s. So a lot of what we nowadays refer to oldschool Visual kei was originally not seen or tagged as such. Are Zi-Kill a Visual kei group? Many would say yes, because of the way they look and their band connections (and the label they were signed to). Other would say no and state that albeit being influential on the VK moevement, they were just a Rock band. True though, that VK was booming mostly in the first half to mid 90s and not late 90s. If I remember correctly, fans declared Visual kei dead already around 1998.
