Suuu

We have officially sent in our first request to view a possible office space.
This is a huge step for V STAR PROMOTION as a company, and I would be lying if I said it isn't a big gamble and a risk.
But if this works out as planned V STAR PROMOTION will be able to provide much more content and services for vkei fans across the world.
But in order for this to work we will need your support.
So from now please continue to support us.
Let's grow the international vkei community!

Yes!
We plan to make standard interviews and in store like live stream events.
Having our own office space will also mean more comment video screen currently there is only one live house in Osaka where it's possible to film a decent quality comment video, other than that the only other option is renting a studio which means a charge every time and a time limit.
On top of that, having our office space will allow us the opportunity to increase the services we offer.
We have some big plans.
But it might take some time as we sort out finances

On the 22nd of January I was honored to take photos at Galumia's last live.
As can be imagined, a last live can be a hugely difficult time for both the band and their fans who have followed and supported them.
but it is also a time to make bitter sweet memories.
 
below are some photos from that live.

unfortunately in this industry, disbandment's are a hard reality.
it is something everybody will face at some point or another.
 
however the bands music can always be remembered by their fans.

Big news for V STAR PROMOTION
another member has joined the V STAR family.
A native Japanese whom can speak English.
With our new addition we will be able to bring you more content.
Currently we are looking into the possibility of renting a small office space in central Osaka.
If we are able to do so, we will be able to provide much more content!
More comment videos
Live streamed videos/interviews
And much much more
At the moment we are just looking into the financial side as at the moment, all our work is non profit and basically volunteer.
But we hope to widen the reach of vkei around the world

But at the end of the day lets allow the people who enjoy and like Deviloof like them, no matter what their reasons might be.
And let’s let those who dislike them dislike them for whatever reasons they might have.
 
Music is debatable; people have different views, opinions, tastes, etc.
Even more so with Visual Kei.
 
We are allowed to have our own opinions on what makes good music, what makes good vkei, as we are allowed to have our own opinions on what makes bad music and bad vkei.
 
Let’s support the artists we like, and allow other to support artists they like.
Let’s try our best to make this music scene we love as positive as possible.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who is supporting Deviloof!
At the end of the day, when I decided to start helping Deviloof I was very much aware that they are band that will have people that love them, people that hate them and a smaller majority of people who don’t feel strongly either way about them, more so than any other band V STAR PROMOTION’s works with.
The reason V STAR PROMOTION decided to work with Deviloof is to broaden our market, our goal is to have something to offer to as many people with varying tastes in music.
And the fact that people have varying and different tastes in music is what this discussion leads to.
Everybody has their own taste in music, what one person might think sounds terrible could be a masterpiece to other people, it doesn’t mean that either person is wrong, it also doesn’t mean that the song in question is innately good or bad, it all comes down to personal opinion.
This is also the case in defining a music style, music is a vast and ever changing entity.
Music never stays the same for long as artists and fans are always thinking of a way to change and develop it further, by this genres of music are also constantly changing and developing.
So any genre of music can also be thought of differently by different people, what might be brutal to someone might not just cut it to other, and on the reverse side what might be brutal to some might be too much for others.
And there is nothing at all wrong with that.
Working with Deviloof, I have faith that they will continue to work hard to grow as artists and that they will try their best to bring new and unique music.
It is not always going to appeal to everyone, but that’s music.
If you like Deviloof, once again I would like to thank you for your support.
If you don’t like Deviloof I value and understand your opinion, but please understand that the people that like them have their reasons and right to do so as well.
The same goes in reverse.
Thank you.

Thank you for sharing reasoning behind your opinion.
and once again, I strongly believe every person has a right to have their own opinion.
 
So I am not in anyway disputing your opinion, saying its completely wrong, or that you shouldn't be allowed to have your opinion.
 
I am simply adding a few additional facts to this issue.
 
-To some people vkei is nothing more than the visual style, and music is additional and can be any type of music, pop, rock, heavy, etc, I have met more than a handful of artists both visual and non visual that have this belief, then even more fans.
-Even if Deviloof decided to become vkei for the money (I am not saying this is the case) they wouldn't be the first band to do so, one example is Sid, who went very heavy with makeup and other styling until the started to tone it down once gaining enough popularity (artist growth and development)
 
but their motives are their own, I am not going to discuss as a artist's motives are often something only they can understand.
 
secondly as for their lives and who they play with.
granted they do play with non vkei bands, in fact their next upcoming live is with BAND-MAID®, LAST DAY DREAM and 極楽浄土.
however they have played with, and have schedules to play with many vkei bands, some examples;
Rides In ReVellion, MORRIGAN, BLAZE, CARNIVAL, SHIVA, ARCHEMI, REVINE, MALISEND
Just to name a few
and also they are taking part in the CROW MUSIC PRESENTS NEW SCREAM CIRCUIT’2016.
Once again thank you for expressing your opinion and providing reasoning.

All of this.

^ this is so important. thank you Suuu for expressing what more people need to realize.

What I think is that the reason behind people's slander towards this band lies in the thought of how many Visual Kei bands are tuning down their guitars just because this –core music does well with the audience. You see musicians who previously wore pink, frilly skirts and blush on their faces in the Oshare scene suddenly covered in black smudge and fake blood. To me it looks fake, like a lot of them do not care what they are recognized for, just that they are recognized in general. It feels as if a lot of these bands aren't doing their own thing, aren't following their own dreams. It is just a test of 'we will stick with what works best, despite our personal interests.' I think this is also why you see so many bands breaking up early-on due to 'musical differences.'
Something came to me earlier, that Visual Kei bands are actually a lot like sports' teams — almost like human trafficking; playing styles change over the course of the season, and you have to pick players who fit your current playing style. This all happens on a short notice, in fact it changes by the months. Visual Kei musicians are being shuffled around between teams like happens during auctions on soccer players, seemingly forming no attachment to their current team and easily moving on to the other when it's there that they can be in for the prize. And a lot of fans fall for this too! (Because they have no other choice.) Your favourite member moves from band A to band B? Let's forget about band A and specifically focus on band B, because that's where he's at for an inconclusive period of time.
Now I am not saying that Deviloof specifically is one of those cases (as they previously came from heavier roots), but in this general situation, seeing -another- band pop up who are heavy just for the sake of being heavy (as their actual musicianship seems... quite unpolished), it makes us wonder whether any of these guys are in it for their own personal joy. Their music might feel empty to people, soulless and void of something to ponder over or to get lost in, because it doesn't appear to come from the heart. You can feel it when an artist doesn't put everything he or she has into what he or she does. I am not speaking for everyone even while having read similar opinions on a variety of platforms, but it's just that a lot of these upcoming metalcore bands feel like this to me (and to a lot of others).
