dressing up as girls x
 
in fact ban all forms of dressing up other than shironuri makeup & cool uniforms imo

I hope one day I can buy your CDs

I'm fucking hyped, root was such a solid release. Also this is a remake of prestarwave release, I wonder if theyll just be doing that for all these releases

カルト (Cult) ex. vocalist from てんさい。(Tensai.) new project "CuxT" have formed. His first live will be at 新宿club SCIENCE on 2020/03/23.
 

 
 

A hidden gem of an album and the only album of them i will forever miss the style of by them. 

What's up?
They 've changed for sure. I like their new groove out of the darkness, but a lot to lament too.
Not goint to try to fool anyone, It's a +&- album.
Hope their new direction can take me out in the midnight when the mist clears away.
Maybe it's better for the future or they can try new things again before it's too late.
Tick tak, funny world.

Does anyone else agree that Lament is shite? 😓

Isnt this the band that sells condoms at their shows 

It looks like the name for the new album is  THANK GOD THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF WAYS TO KiLL ENEMIES
 
no release date yet but they will go on a tour for the album starting on 5.12 so it should be near that date I guess.
 
wtf is up with that name though

Well, our passion for Dimlim made us go off-topic but...
 
Despite being a complex matter to approach, and also the fact that there isn't analysis available on the matter (at least in English), VK actually is a genre. There being a lot of variation and diversification both sonically and visually between bands of the scene doesn't necessarily conclude into VK bands don't having a LOT of things in common to make them part of a whole 'scene', in many levels (sound and visuals, but also other aspects related to production of the artists, their promotion, fans' rituals, etc., VK culture per se).
 
'Genre', 'movement', 'scene', call it the way you like. 'VK', as other things, exists by virtue of patterns of key elements that repeat all over their products no matter their differences between; in the end, that is what make their producers, bands themselves, us the fans, people inside and outside the scene, pick the term 'visual kei' to describe some music projects, and not 'glam rock', 'goth', 'punk' or 'metal' instead, in the way of deciding what music to listen according to our tastes.

tbh I'll personally consider them fully "no longer VK" once their set lists no longer include majority of their copycat d.i.d. era and they spend at least a year w/o backtracking into the scene again.
 
if you're calling ur little personal vanity music project non-visual while still throwing ambitiosus principles as a concert ender on every gig it really doesn't feel that ReaL or AuthentiQ

It's sho's voice and singing style.
 
I was being half-facetious in what I said, because if they say they're aren't VK anymore, then who am to say otherwise? But that doesn't change the fact that that singing style is endemic to VK.
 
What about you? Why do they no longer fit the criteria in your eyes?

Took me a bit to adjust but this single is pretty good.

I actually forgot to put that one lol

I feel like there is already a topic like this buried in the forum, but I'll add to the list w/ some shopping/auction sites I peruse (or just googled.)
 
https://www.mercari.com/jp/ (mercari.com just takes me to the U.S site)
https://www.mbok.jp/ (found some of my rarer items here, but it's kinda dead)
https://www.bookoffonline.co.jp/
https://netmall.hardoff.co.jp/top/CSfTop.jsp (find rare cassettes and vinyl here on occasion, but keep in mind they're in Saitama if you're using a proxy)
https://waltz-store.online/ (cassettes)
http://lucyspocket.jp/ (just mail-order now or perhaps defunct)
https://www.sangatuusagi.com/visual/
http://www.xxxrecords.jp/speeddisk/ (mail-order)

Buyee - not an actual shop but it's the best proxy to use for JP Yahoo, Amazon, Mercari, Melonbooks, etc.! Almost all my collection is bought through them!
Galaxy Broad Shop - webshop for Freewill bands such as Dir en grey, Merry, gulu gulu, Buglug, etc.! I recommend using a proxy for this one since shipping overseas is expensive.
Melonbooks - the WEEBERY ok but actually this houses releases from doujin projects such as Ariabl'eyeS; of course use a proxy for this one too
Wizard Store - Sui (David/CULA)'s official webshop, where David and Sui items are sold, along with a few Megaromania and Metis Gretel items during their revival period.

JILUKA merch (ships within Japan only, have to use shopping service): http://shinko-music-shop.com/?mode=srh&keyword=jiluka
