Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.
In this occasion I'd like to gather all about this band's awful story. Let's make a collection of this so dramatic drama.
I still can't believe one of my first favorite bands underwent at least an absolutely disturbing change of members and styles (etc) from the leaving of Ryohei in 2006, which, to me, was a real shame and kept me out of the loop.
That's one of the reasons I crave this drama so much now and want to learn your knowing of it, considering there are some sources, rumors and many reading material on internet as always.
So what you know about it?

Just to begin ::
Aoi in his blog in 2010:
"Dear all,

Firstly, I'm sorry that this message comes late.
I had a vague understanding of them, but I couldn't coherently grasp my feelings at reading the others' announcements,
so I couldn't put them into words. I just cried and cried. [...]"

the tea is vk gradually lost most of those over past ten years and it didn't benefit genres popularity neither domestically nor abroad, which is still a v. good point, an average vk chanteuse is really hard to ingest for someone not mentally invested in like theater or something
 
(which average metalheads probably wouldn't really obsess over?.. idk I have a very low opinion of westen rock/metal stans which keeps continuously degrading due to this boards infestations with murican dirubros.)

Kamijo will continue to be as fabulous as he already is.
The Ghost inside of Me will gain more popularity.
Still no X-Japan new album realease, but Yoshiki will be photographed in the vicinity of the Pope.

I don't get what's wong about the dude's voice? It sounds perfectly fine. Plus it's VK, the relatively trashy vocals are part of what makes it interesting.
Never heard Mediena or MALISEND, but the samples sound rather nice. I'll check them out.

Lol I wish I looked like Hitomi... or at least the female version.

I'm still a Lion, my g.

Well, I used to think that you all were exactly as your profile pic, and now I found out this.

I was a member of this place several years ago, but I lost all my account info and stuff. I'm mostly just into Takeru (ex-SuG) and Jui (Gotcharocka). Still, I thought I'd come back and do some exploring. I'm also autistic, so I tend to be pretty shy and asocial around new people. Just give me a chance, and I'll open up! Jui and Takeru are also two of my heroes btw.

Heyy 
 
Man ... I should make a blog thing for the weird outfits I create
 

These pictures look like they were taken in 2006

I met royalty!!
 

Good luck my dude

I bought The Egoist's last RR single. Hopefully those $15 will prevent this label from collapsing and Betty can finally afford a new picture

2016 is such an interesting year for vkei. What a rush

...because he was Mizérable

ba dum tss

My spotify playlists
 
wtf who put all of this bad music in here lmao

They're slowly becoming the new Ruellia. The only thing missing is for them to make new music that is absolutely horrible. 

覇叉羅 -Vasalla- will perform at their oneman live, 総進撃!バサラオールスターズ! (Soushingeki! Vasalla All Stars!), featuring former members as guests, on November 3 at Meguro Rockmaykan.
 

 

I feel like I'm being called out by this thread. Stanning a band is basically you devoting yourself to them(in my case) supporting the fuck out of them because you love their work and what they do. 
 
I basically have a shit ton of Panic Channel chekis, FULL EFFECT' chekis, and DragonWAPPPPPPER. I have every single アー写 Panic Channel has every put out and every releases sans 3 VHS tapes that are like impossible to get. I have アー写 from FULL EFFECT' that hasn't even hit the light of the internet because they're so indie. I bought 6 copies have each of their last two albums. I bought DragonWAPPPPPPER's limited 20 remix CD for almost $300. I have goods like towels, shirts, and hoodies I don't wear because I don't want to lose any of them. I own all their releases including a few live limited goods that are near impossible to find. 
 
That's what I think of stanning. Like if you are basically stalking the band like demachi or irimachi, then you're on another level that's not stanning.

You've got to be kidding !

You win lol

"nobody wanna hear that ching-chong music"
"why u be listenin to dem Chinamen?"
"they make music in Japan???"
"they could be singing 'i hate niggers' and you wouldn't even know it!!!"
 

 
Just a few examples of the ignorant things ppl have said in the 20-something years I've been listening to Japanese music
 
Granted, I can understand why they'd be perplexed. I still don't understand why a poor little black boy in the late 90's took a liking to Japanese music. My only explanation for that would be: "I just like it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
 

This reminds me when I  had a framed picture of Yukke on my desk at work and people would come up and be like "Who?? Is this you???" and I was like "Yep, that's me, I did a little touch up on the face and here I am now XD. No no, he is actually my husband :)." 
 
Honestly most of my friends listen to VK, like anime and all that. 
 
VK was quite huge in my country when anime series were shown on TV. And from there, we even used to have these big two anime conventions in my city and even forums on the internet so I got to meet a lot of interesting people (and learn what catfishing was from a young age XDD), so I wasn't surrounded too much by people who didn't know about VK.
 
But theeeen I started listening to other genres and widen my musical taste and with that, I got to become friends with people who didn't listen to VK. In high school a lot of people thought I needed to wear more bright colors and maybe try staying in the sun a little bit XDDD. But other than that we were chill. I wasn't popular but I did get to be part of the drama club so I guess people knew me as a funny person, rather than that girl with hair covering her face XD (I never had that pineapple hair cut, it was just hair in my face XD).
 
I was a very awkward kid who didn't talk that much about what I like, but now, I tend to spread my knowledge to everyone XD. I'm shamelessly exposing all them VK bois I like to the world :)). 

They have become the very thing they swore to destroy
