i love kesshouka by lycaon; yuuki's a surprisingly good lyricist. the song is really beautiful and the lyrics are vaguely heartbreaking, it reminds me that scene where effy's makeup is running like a motherfucker and its all dark and she's smoking. trve emo queens.

some songs are worth singing your heart out. Some have lyrics you just wanna mount on the wall and gaze at it. Lyrics that are just so sad or so romantic that you just cry when it comes up.
 
I would post all the lyrics to Reila because the whole song is just beautiful
 
Ophelia- L'arc~en~ciel "My dearest Ophelia, whats the reason for your silence? You're lips as cold as ice. My dearest Ophelia- won't you speak to me no more
 
Ain't Afraid to die- Dir En Grey " while I was alone by the window, just staring by the window, I'ts you I reminisnce . You appeared through the glass and I gave you the last kiss. Hey smile . Don't cry anymore. From now on, I'll always be watching you."
 
Without You- Yoshiki "And I only look back. I feel alone. How should I love you? How could I feel you?"
 
Crucifiy My Love- XJapan " Like a river flowing to the sea. You'll be miles away and I will know. I know I can deal with the pain. No reason to cry"
 
Gypsy- Lycaon- the whole song
 
 
Plastic Tree- Donna Donna whole damn song. Seriously the guys voice T_T
 
For some reason Ic an't think of any romantic songs D: i gotta dig thru my playlist D;
 
So whats yours?

BFN- Song after song were basically a hit or miss. Songs like "Change to chance" and "Midnight Coaster", "UW" and "Dance to rave" and a couple of others were good but some...its like "Ice honey, stop screaming". Some songs were just corny like D;

Everyone has their bias, their baby, their cupcake...so time to post yours. Who is your favorite member (past or present) from a band (also past or present) and who is the least fave(doesn't mean you hate em just they're not as popular as the others)
 
For me:
 
Faves:
 
Sala- BFN 
Men-Men - Codomo Dragon
Jun- Gotcharocka
Yui- UNiTE
Everyone In Kameleo!
Kanna- Dog in the PWO
Kazi- Fest Vainqueur
Kodai- Royz
 
Least :
 
San- BFN 
Drama King (aka Yoshiatsu)- Dadaroma
Byou - Screw
Subaru- Royz (BUT NOT KENTO! KENTO IS PRECIOUS!)
 
Yeah there's not that many I can think of that I don't like So what's your list?

ooh I forgot about Jack off Jill and Mimori Yusa <3

I'm giving away my age here, but when I was a teen I use to be huge crazy over female grunge artist. Mainly because rock/punk songs were devoid of female musicians and the only females in the music biz was pop star.
From my pantera loving friend, I got introduced to L7, 7 year bitch, Cycle sluts from hell, babes in Toyland, The Nymphs, Kittie, Bikini Kill and yes, Hole.
 
Of course grunge died and pop music became rabid. Eventually, bands like Evanescence (AMY LEE I LOVE YOU!!!) and Lacuna Coil (Cristina and no there damn H in it ) came out but I feel there's more out there, I just don't know about.With VK, I got introduced to Mary's blood and Exist Trace (Mally <3)
 
 Sooooo whose your face female lead bands and/or songs
 

Here's mah cue, lol.

Also, the #1 rule is... DON'T DOWNLOAD HOLA BY ANY MEANS.
They exploit their users, and free VPNs & Proxy Services are typically shite anyways, esp. Chrome extensions.
I use PIA which is like $40 USD a year (Although, idk if I wanna keep using a U.S  based VPN, but it's been fine for me so far.)

honestly, I thought starwave was one of those fake labels or one of those parody labels where they make shitty bands for tv shows or something, like disney records. Kinda scary its a legit label :S

From basically every Japanese fan I have talked to the consensus is yes they are brothers: Reiya is older, Kazuki is younger.
Isn't there a thread somewhere about what bandmen are brothers...?
 
edit: here it is

We know that Hiro (My first story) and Taka (Ok go rock) are related and Subaru (Royz) and Kento (whatever he's doing besides being a little dumpling) are related but what about those rockers you wonder might be related. Sometimes the makeup/plastic surgery makes them look related, sometimes it's the lighting, sometimes its a coincidence.
 
Examples of who I think is related:
 
Haru (Dog in the PWO) and Mahiro (Kiryu)
Kouichi (Mejibray) and Issei (Buglug)
Mei (Dog in the pwo) and Someone from their record label (I can't figure if its Issei or someone from blu billion)
Hayato (Codomo dragon) and Takeru (SuG)
Shindy (Anli Pollicino) and a newborn bunny (joke...maybe )
 
so who do you think look like they're related

^ "gibkiy" in Russian means "flexible"

That post makes me want to hug Akane   

According to google translate, its a special release or something.

Official statement :

woot I'm so happy .I was worried they would never release anything 

Maybe someone can do it better than me cus I'm doing this really fast but here's a rough translation.
First one:
 
I'm the one who hates living. And other people hate dying. Those kind of strangers exists. Is that human happiness? But I'm still tired. It started again. When I close my eyes I wish for the next day to not come. And without a single second of sleep a torture like tomorrow is waiting for me. I don't know but for some reason I lost 7 kilos in a week.
 
Second one:
When is valentine*!!! Meidai's ita chocolate is my favorite!!

this one.
 
* It's a custom in Japan for girls to give boys chocolate and boys give back at white day.

I would like to see this if only to honor the memory of Armmy.
 
As for mine:
 
I wish Shadow could release one last album.
I wish YouTube would stop blocking Japanese music.
I wish Rami was putting more effort into Raglaia. She's played maybe 8 gigs since coming back in late 2014. It makes me wonder if her health is still bad.
I wish Cyntia would reverse course off that pop nonsense.
Ditto Exist Trace
Ditto Aldious
I wish the American guitar magazines would discover K-A-Z and Syu.
I wish Bass Player magazine discovered Kiyoshi, Sawa and F Chopper Koga.
I wish Modern Drummer would discover Senri Kawaguchi
I wish some JRock bands other than Babymetal tried to reach out to a foreign audience.
(in short I want these artists to become a worldwide success and not just be our little secret because they deserve it, especially with all the mediocrity out there)
 
And I wish this quartet would get back together on a regular basis instead of this one-off show.
 

I wish Hizumi get well soon so he can sing once again :'(
I wish D'espairsRay would comeback but not only for a single live
I wish Creature Creature would performe outside of Japan (Há. Well, at least in the US)
I wish more bands would tour in Mexico
I wish GACKT would go back to do some decent music (and with a decent haircut as well)
I wish deadman would comeback
I wish THE MICRO HEAD 4N'S would do rock music, instead of that weird shitty music they do (at least Nimo is better than Ricky)
I wish MUCC would return to Mexico (impossible...)
 
 
 
^ and this one

I wish the piass would fucking do something jfc

Do you wish they would tour in your nation?
reunite?
become bigger than the Beatles?
Go back to the old ways?
etc.
 
I wish Reign would come out with a full PV
I wish Kameleo's yt stints were subbed
I wish Lycaon would reunite
I wish Kento (Subaru's twin) would be more vocal (talk, do skits with BP records, sing!)
I wish codomo dragon, kameleo, avd many "indie" bands were more popular

Kameleo's- Gomen nasai
SuG- 5 starz
Golden Bomber's- Memeshikute
and I can't think of anymore right now

time to make everyone cry:

Strong rumour mill churning.
Sales peaked at Rank 82 in the charts, lasting one week on the charts; their last three single being their most popular.
Not high enough to be a moderately successful Indie band by chart measure alone, but not a disaster for bands in that stage of their lifecycle. There are many bands who have lasted longer with similar or even lower sales, and have been on a bigger label. They also had no major work to act as their defining moment in early career, you have to sort through shorter releases and receive a mixed bag sound wise.
Though the label has been pushing them producion and promotion wise to gain an audience, and their last PV is not location heavy but has better production than bands in the top ten of Oricon, so I would say there was a lot of expectation for them similar to the expectation that me and other fans had for a band that was so skilled in blending pop hooks into rock music.
They definitely could have gained traction, and been more successful, in my opinion.
First, they had an unpopular release approach, no album and single after single, meaning lower output of songs compared to other bands, also meaning live shows had a redundancy to them since you were always seeing a very similar performance.
Second, hard to pin down Shounenki sound signature, since their releases changed quite a bit, most new acts develop a distinct callingcard first then branch out, developing their demographic then pushing the boundary. Harder to pin down Shounenki sound and attract the market for it, even if there is one.
Then you have the style of vocals and style of band possibly clashing. Differing songs including drastic changes in some B-sides, there is a possibility that not all members always agreed or wanted to focus on making that kind of music. And again, may be hard for some fans to follow,or choose Shounenki as 'their band' when you never know what you're going to get. Most creators with a business plan develop a base first.
After that, they are all young and you never know what is going to happen, we don't know the labels plans, what kind of pressure they were under, if the label can afford all their bands at the moment, if the members can afford it, if there was a strong leader in the band, or if they had differing personalities or some major issue arise, if all members can handle the not-so-easy task of writing songs in great number to meet a schedule, etc...
Anyway, just my speculation, don't know why I wrote this. Great band, hope to hear of a new group forming soon, they could have went places, if the vocalist especially forms a new group, he especially can go places, etc...
