    Axius reacted to WhirlingBlack in VA DUAL CORE SUMMIT the FINAL「10th Trajectory 2007〜2017 」 release   
    The weird part is that there was several unreleased Black:List songs that probably were recorded in some form or another... why not release those instead of pumping out the same three tracks over and over?

    Axius reacted to Vitne Eveille in I met YOSHIKI and asked about western visual kei   
    The other day I met YOSHIKI.  I was at a showing of We Are X in Oslo, Norway.  Norway doesn't have a huge VK scene so I was happy he had come.  It turned out to be his first time in Norway.
     
    I asked him "Can western bands be visual kei?"  -  He laughed and replied "Of course!"
     
    So I followed up with "If a western band is to be visual kei, is there something they must adhere to, in terms of style or aesthetic?"
     
    He explained VK is more of a mindset, born out of them feeling like they didn't really fit in anywhere.  As he said, they played "super heavy" and "super soft" music.  He also told me about a festival he hosted recently where the bands were everything from metal to pop, and there was even a band that didn't play music (that got some laughs around the room).  He summed everything up by saying it really isn't a genre, but more of a mindset allowing yourself to be as creative as you want.  And it also generally has makeup.
     
    I am summing these things up from memory.
     
    So here's my take on VK:
    1.  You must be influenced by Japan/Japanese music (because after all, it originates from Japan). 
    2.  Make creative use of makeup/visuals. 
    3.  Be somewhat diverse in terms of style. 
    4.  Be doing your own thing confidently (basically:  be true to yourself, because people and fans can see through you being a cookie-cutter).
     
    So basically, no you don't have to have a lolita in the band.  One member doesn't have to wear a surgical facemask at all times.  You don't have to have death-metal growls in your music.  Some music fans within genres and subcultures get really elitist and that gets irritating, especially when people say that VK is only Japanese (so is glam-metal only truly American?  Can you not make Brazilian samba music if you aren't from Brazil?).  VK is unique in that it is vague but also has a meaning.  A band alone isn't just "visual kei" but "visual kei rock" would be a better indicator.  I think in that sense, the addition of the term "visual kei" before "rock" to me would indicate the above traits I listed, like being influenced by Japan, be somewhat "different" in terms of makeup/visuals and potentially have a diverse musical style.
     
    I had a blast meeting YOSHIKI.  He's a funny and nice guy, and it was an honor having him in Norway.

    Axius reacted to chemicalpictures in What video games are you currently playing?   
    Currently playing lots and lots of CS:GO (who would say such old timer game could hook me up so hard after so long...), Some Fallout 4, which I'm finding way too similar to F3, and to be honest, if it wasn't for the interesting world set up, I'd probably have already given up by now. The gameplay is too clunky to be satisfying. Wish the series would return to 1 and 2 roots...
     
    Also, there's a nice little game on steam for all you Megaman X widows out there (summoning @YuyoDrift) called 20XX. It's a procedurally generated Megaman X, basically. Nice upgrades, great music and most importantly, TIGHT controls. Check kotaku's article out: http://kotaku.com/20xx-is-a-procedural-mega-man-x-and-it-feels-perfect-1797965399

    Axius reacted to yakihiko in DIMLIM   
    I'm still pretty much a D.I.D. fan, used to follow Akane since Paranoir and later to have Tekede joining as a drummer was really fabulous. Yeah, and I'm still waiting for Akane's new band.
     
    I'm not a fan from what DIMLIM did so far, not about the instrumental part which is sometimes cool but I start to compare how the song would be with Akane on vocal and find the DIMLIM vocalist boring. Shame because I would like to follow DIMLIM cos of Tekede perfect drums skills.

    Honestly since there recent disbanding i really wanted to know peoples opinions and was surprised this band wasn't up here yet. Honestly i love this band. They made solid singles and improved on them a bunch with there re-recordings. This bands disbandment came a complete surprise to me and i feel as tho this band should have continued in a way. The complete best kinda breaks down this band the best way possible listening wise and i wanted to see peoples opinions.
     
    My personal opinion is that some of there songs are just really catchy. Half of there songs have that energy flowing made me feel pumped a bit while also some of there some being soft/progressive at the same time not too slow and bland but not too fast and energetic. I like that a lot and it was pretty solid band overall.
     
    Either way let me know your opinions. Thank you

    Hizaki and Teru can concentrate on Versailles, the drummer should just return to Roach - that's what I hope is gonna happen.
