you spelled "varuna" wrong, but I fixed that for you!

Ruka (NIGHTMARE, The Legendary Six Nine) to hold "conference about the future" in LOFT PLUS ONE.
 
Given it's a concert venue and that exclusive goods will be sold, it can be assumed a new proyect and/or new LSN releases will be announced.
 
Ruka also composed for other artists this year: Hakuei's solo project and and underground idol band BiSH. There also could be some announcement in that direction.

wow kaya sounds on point on this new schwarz stein track

deadass thought they were already major, good for them! though now all their new videos are gonna be like "This video contains content from Victor Entertainment, Inc.. It is not available in your country."

i'm glad i'm not the only one who eventually came to think.......valentin's look is tbh kinda cool

*cue the whole band suddenly sporting dreads, oversized sunglasses and leather trenchcoats with pot leaves emblazoned on them*

Thanks for the recommendations guys, enjoying both 420 and SM! I wish they albums would be a bit shorter though, makes it hard to pick out clear favourites somehow. 

hi, i'm ryan... i've been lurking here since forever, created an account a few months ago, and lately something's been telling me i should try to talk here more.
i'm not terribly good with forums though - something about the way anything i'd say gets kept on the site forever seems to trip me out a bit.
and i'm not sure how much of value i'd have to comment - so, i'll try to make myself useful and get to posting some (probably wildly inaccurate) translations~

as far as me....... got into vkei with ナイトメア about when their s/t came out, haven't found a band that resonates more with me since.
p sure i can find something to like in just about any style/scene, but i really think vkei hit its golden age between 1997-2007. at least to me.
as of typing this i'm also stanning diru, mucc, the gallo, and meji pretty hard. and since 2014 i've been living in varying degrees of Worried About Royz.
 
IRL i work at a sushi/udon place, it's p great, and i'm trying to get the hang of this whole 'understanding and speaking japanese' thing. it's hard tho.
Oh, and i'm trying to get a band together. also hard.
and that's basically it for me because i have no life outside visual kei.

Nice to meet all of you though - even if i haven't said much anything before i owe y'all a lot for recommending a lot of my fav bands.
special shoutout to all the staff/mods, rarezhut guys, and everyone who translates band shit bc it'd be so much harder to get into this dumb scene without people like you putting in all the work.

Oh and @ everyone feel free to hmu on twitter, username's same there as here
 

done up all business-kei and yet they missed a sterling opportunity to take it to its logical conclusion and do some unholy vaporwave-kei sort of thing

Will see you around! Hope you enjoy your stay with us.

aas part of my attempts at teaching myself japanese, i thought i'd take an album i liked, and translate the whole thing to see how my translations compared against others'.
So with the exception of two tracks, these have all been translated before, but in the chance that i may have gone with a different meaning/inflection of a phrase or such, i'll post my results here....
but please don't assume any degree of 'accuracy' to these, as 1) i don't know what the hell i'm doing and 2) i tried to prioritize readability over accuracy anyway.
To keep this post from becoming enormous i'll put just the english here under spoiler tags, but if anyone wants to compare my translations against the kanji in a more readable format, i've put it all in a google doc at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xXwShjwBLSL-PE3EaFZHnl1F_O7ePT4xTaXsCefdsrg/edit?usp=sharing
 
01- IDEA
 
02- シアトリカル・ブルーブラック
 
03- DiefiL
 
04- Hungry Psychopath
 
05- Mr. レインは死んだふり

06- RAVEN

07- 埋葬虫

08- Contagion

09- Echo

10- hatred × tangle red × hunger red

11- 瞬間のアイディアル

12- BOWWOW

13- SUICIDAL WORD GAME

14- SERVANT

15- Cristate

16- 鳥は泳ぎ方を知らず溺れ亡骸

17- COPERNICUS

Anyway there's my take on the album, hope someone thinks it's cool or something.
No need to credit me or w/e since only suicidal word game & servant were 'new' translations.
Definitely feel free to ask/correct anything on these though, i'm still learning ofc so any comments would be helpful, thanks~!

>implying i'm ever anything but

Nice to meet y'all!

y'know on some level i know i'm not gonna be into vkei for my whole life, so i just hope whenever i do find stuff i like better i can still look back on this dumbass genre fondly like that.

If you don't mind me asking - what bands (in general) are you into now and which vk bands stood the test of time for you?

Welcome! I came here basically because this topic's title was very interesting. lol
 
I gotta agree about the golden age thing, though I don't quite remember when it ended for me. I'm actually not much into VK nowadays, but I still like a few things here and there and keep my mind (and my ears) open to new stuff, VK or not! It's  worked pretty well so far. 
And yeah, I agree with @Delkmiroph, come to our plug sessions if you can~! It's great to find new music and get closer to members in general. I also recently returned to this forums after a loooooo....oooong time gone and I'm still getting used to it again, so I know the struggle. I hope you can get used to it and become active eventually! It's a nice community we got here.
