Glam movement itself is pretty broad as far as music genres go, and depending on who you ask, it can be just about the aesthetics. I've heard metalcore, speed/trash metal, punk, electronic stuff from bands I consider part of this sleaze/glam movement. Then there are elitists of course who say only 70's stuff has the right to be called glam-anything and everything after that is just heavy metal/whatever. In very much the same way as VK can be for some people just aesthetics, glam too can be. For me, I consider even stuff like Marilyn Manson continuation of glam. okay you know what, I write stuff, then rewrite it, trying to make some point which even I don't know what. in the end I gotta agree lol. Both visuals and sound of Salem's Lott are closer to VK origins, X-Japan and such, so ya ^^

juopotteleminen kuulostaa aina hyvältä 8D

thanks! glad you like it! ^^ They're all original. I'm *heavily* influenced by the works of Ayami Kojima, but I feel like my stuff has gone different direction and especially the colouring style is something that formed on it's own.

Hi! I suppose you gotta promote yourself everywhere if you want something good to happen and get to places and finally have enough money to buy some music from your favourite artists like Avelcain or Mejibray. so anyways I do digital paintings. here are few I try posting more later. feedback is always welcome! negative/positive whatever! ^^ you can see the same stuff mostly on my tumblr: http://slsds.tumblr.com/

I don't think Salems Lott is really VK. that's full on glam metal (or sleaze metal/hair metal/glam rock/whatever you wanna call it). Then again I feel like early VK was just continuation of glam/hair metal so it's hard to say where the line goes. In any case those guys are pretty cool.

ai olis tuskassa? damn... no ei kyl oikeesti. aika karmeeta kuraahan man with a mission on. mut kiva niille jotka tykkää ^^ tuska on muutenkin liian kallis mun budjetille. Tälle kesälle ihan tarpeeks rahanmenoa tiedossa..

joo shitposting on korkeempaa taidetta mulla oli jo lippu tonne, sain sivuteitse parilla kympillä. Jos oikeen varoissani olisin ollut, olisin voinut ehkä täydenkin hinnan maksaa. ehkä.

hey is anyone going to the helsinki live next month? I wouldn't mind meeting some people ^^ you know, because awkward silences are all cool and all.

it's pretty generic for sure, but I still find myself liking them.

It's even better when all the songs about "blue" sound very similar too. They got similar tuning and strong emphasis on melodic guitar. LUNA SEA - True Blue L'arc En Ciel - Dive to Blue Grieva - in the Blue I know there are more, but can't think of them now..

I saw the band on their first gig in 2015 actually, so it's not exactly a new band. but there was no topic about them, so I figured I could contribute here somehow too ^^

"SiCX" will have their next live at the "渋谷THE GAME" with bunch of other bands on 2016.5.26(thu). "SiCX" members: Vo. Zuu Gt. YU-$UKE Gt. Katsuhiko Ba. CHIKARA Dr. KEIICHIRO website: http://www.sicx.jp/

Kannatti näköjään löytää MH:n suomi topic, sen verran korkee laatusta juttua :'D

oh man, I really love Annabyss Coast. Looking forward to this, hopefully something comes out of it.

yea H&M is good with my money situation :'D I used to buy lots of stuff from Silver Accessories (that's the only japanese brand I remember atm) I also used to spend fortunes in random Shibuya clothing stores, but my pseudo-VK phase is long dead. I guess I aim more for western punk rock look or something these days. not really, but if I had to categorize it somehow.. Although I follow Koichi actively on instagram and I've found myself buying some cute-ish stuff too, which I don't know how well it goes with the rest of my look XD

hm. I so wanna go, but it's gonna be expensive... London or Amsterdam sounds good though..

Yeah well ZeTeS grew on me big time. I'm really hooked on these guys now. Grimoire and Ivy were cool too. I was surprised at the Naine-esque stuff on Grimoire, but experimenting seems to work for Nocturnal Bloodlust. Part of the charm is that these guys don't seem to take themselves too seriously. I can't help but grin widely on stuff like Reverence's "CrushIntoTheBurdenForMeKillEachOtherAtTheEndOfStoryCrushIntoTheBurdenForMeKillEachOtherAtTheEndOfStory -- whoooo~, fuck yea!"

I haven't been super long on these boards, but I got a feeling I'll be spending time here, so might as well.. This is a picture of me at 3 am after drinking all day, so I might look a bit tired. But then again this is the shape I'm often in, so it's truthful I suppose. @Ikna, what you talking about trash? You're really pretty!

I remember how I passed this band after the initial impression I got from their poor-kei promo stuff. But thanks to you hotcakes I've been listening to them for 2 days now ^^

I think my top 3 is now set for some time, but rest are changing on weekly basis. 1. Mejibray 2. Avelcain 3. Nocturnal Bloodlust 4. Grieva 5. My Bacteria Heat Island 6. Krad 7. Killaneth 8. Dadaroma 9. whatever hiLo is doing (he is active kinda) 10. Arlequin I feel like I'm forgetting some bands..

the video's cool, but miyavi doesn't really do it for me. I might go see him live though, I feel like his material works better there. I saw him on The Others tour (or whatever it was called) and the audience really wasn't your typical j-rock audience. Felt like they were more sorta Justin Bieber audience, you know generic pop people. Which is actually pretty nice, if non-j-rock/pop listening crowd finds Miyavi too. Miyavi was in Oprah or something, wasn't he? Also on The Others tour, there were bunch of 30+ years old men trying to harrass younger women. What kinda plan is that? You pay fortune for a ticket, just to-- you know. They must have done their studies to find their way to Miyavi gig.

judging by the logo, this is not gonna be a long term project.. I just want new music from hiLo!

I wish hide to be alive again I wish Naine to come back, or make whatever Hate is to be an actually active band I wish Koichi to go solo (but not leave mejibray). breakdancing sounded cool too ^^
