  1. Oh wow. I have 3 Vkei accounts following me on Twitter. Kuromitsu (ex. Welektel Shiki), Hayate (ex. GossiP, AKA Tetsurou. ALSO IT'S HIS PRIVATE ACCOUNT FOLLOWING ME! XD) and Under Fall Justice

  2. Ok, I'm back home and I can see the gifs in my signature again. It must've been the wifi on campus blocking imgur images

  3. Ok, this is gonna make me sound like either a total dude bro or a total pleb, but I love the work Sean Murray did on the Call of Duty World at War soundtrack. It's just so unconventional for a WW2 soundtrack

  4. OMG the MH flyer though xD

  5. Omg, Hayate (ex. GossiP) now plays drums in an idol band xD. The irony is real

      According to the GossiP Argentina street team, this is Hayate's twitter.

      lol it definitely looks like him xD thats really cool

      At first I was thinking he sold out, until I realised that the credited songwriters for his band's first PV are all actual members of the band, especially the guitarist. So at least the idol group is creative.

      It's just ironic knowing some of the songs about idols that GossiP has made xD. From what I see, no members of GossiP follow him, and I can't see what he follows, but Sora from Dezert follows him for some reason, but that doesn't mean anything about the current relations between him and the rest of the GossiP members

  6. Oops, I kinda made a mistake with my last post. I thought Sex Android was already on Hiatus, not about to be. My honest mistake.

  7. Recently got back into Devil Kitty. Except this time, I'm actually taking the time to listen to their full discography instead of just listening to Hello Katty and DQN on repeat lol

  8. Reframing by Raddock is one of the full on Visual Dj0nt songs out there xD

  9. Remember when every lo-fi 90's Vkei PV was taken from paradoxical-reality.com? xD

  10. Ripped Memento Mori's last live DVD. I'm currently combining all the long vob files into one file

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      Idk. I can just upload the vob files and you could do whatever you'd need with them. I'm just making a full video for YT.

  11. Seems like Baku took my advice and decided to restart as a new band xD

  12. Should I be worried that I'm harmonising to JyuLie songs, since Saku isn't always in tune?

      me when i sing along to madeth gray'll and cant tell if im a god or actually just tone deaf

  13. Since all this meming about whether Chick Fil A and Popeyes is better is going around, can I just ask? Why does Chick Fil A act like they own fried chicken put in between bread?

    1. colorful人生

      colorful人生

      I mean, Chick-fIl-A chicken sandwiches are some good shit, and while they're a national brand, they're particularly concentrated in the Southeastern US. While brining their chicken in pickle juice and pressure frying create their chicken's unique flavor, they claim that they invented the actual "chicken sandwich" in the 1940s. It's an unsubstantiated claim, and hot chicken between two slices of bread certainly existed long before them.

       

      As someone from the Southeast, Chick-fil-A is leagues beyond most of the fast-food options in the region when it comes to service and food quality. They invest a lot in integrating with their surrounding communities and are fast-food havens for the upper-middle class (who can justify the price hike relative to McD or BK for quality.) When I was part of my youth town-council several years ago, we worked exclusively with them for community events.

       

      On the other side, Popeyes has been perceived a lot differently compared to Chick-fil-A, with deep-southern influence and a lower-class demographic (relative to CfA, McD is the most affordable tmk.) While their new sandwich comes at a premium relative to other items on their menu, having something on-par with CfA's "pride and joy" has stirred a lot of interest. It contests with CfA's cushy spot as "America's Restaurant".

       

      There's, oddly enough, some "political" nuance to this related to CfA that I'm clearly dodging b/c forum rules. If you Google it, you'll find a ton of stuff.

       

      As for my opinion, CfA's quality is pretty much the same nationwide, and they have pretty high ff standards (for both sanitation and food.) I usually seek them out if I'm on-the-road while traveling. That consistency is attractive to me, but local cuisines/"hole-in-the-walls" are always my first choice if I'm familiar with the area.

       

      I've had Popeyes only a few times b/c they're not as common where I'm at, but they're pretty damn good as well.

      i thought i'd be able to bring out that one tweet. because above poster beat me to it and with a much better explanation than i would have offered simply from observation, so i'm going to say it anyways.

       

      everyone's talking about that popeye's chicken sandwich but yall never look into your pop's eyes and tell him you love him

  14. So apparently, Ai from Gulu Gulu's first band, Rose Valley, had songs available to listen to on their old website. Only problem is, those links don't work anymore. If I ever meet Ai (or Ritsu from Smileberry, who was also in the band), I'm definitely asking him about it lol

  15. So apparently, they may start making THC infused monster drinks.
    Isn't that just Bhang for Kyles?

      I'll stick with the beer equivalent thank you.

  16. So everyone knows that a lot of 90's Vkei songs change key and groove in the chorus, but does anyone know why? Like, who started that? 

  17. So far, the new Mamireta single is good, but I feel like there is something missing. I can't exactly pin point it, but I feel like something in the composition could be added in to make it feel complete. 

  18. So has any more info about the Norowareta Guruguru-chan thing that Gulu Gulu is supposed to be performing as on the 21st been revealed?

  19. So I found out something interesting. Kuroyuri to Kage and Dezert are connected. I'm serious. So Mei used to sing for this band called Rose Valley. Rose Valley''s guitarist used to play support for Yukilein, which is both Koyomi's and Chiaki's old band. I know that Kuro and K used to play for a band called Ice Cream. Anyone got any info on them?

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      I got some more info on the older bands of the members of Kuroyuri if you're interested in that. I have pictures and info posted on the official Kuroyuri thread. 

      I'll search more later and post any updates~

      @SadMoomin I found Yukilein's official website! Turns out, they're actually called Yukiline xD. 

      Also, apparently, they had a discography? 

      The discography page doesn't seem to have anything on it. I guess they planned to make releases, but never did

      Hahaha I actually love this, like doing the Kevin Bacon game with bandmen XD

  20. So I had no idea the lead vocalist for Taiji with Heavens is literally the same dude who sang for Kilah. Kilah is one of the bands that got me into the Eternal/Climax Enterprise rabbit hole lol.

  21. So I'm guessing late 90s vkei bands got their love for spoken lyrics from Deshabillz? Or did Deshabillz get it from somewhere else?

    1. Ikna

      Ikna

      Well, since we were talking about post-punk influences… I am certain G-Schmitt had a huge influence on this trope, as they had a few songs with spoken parts. Here is one song, that always reminds me heavily of the dark 90s VK bands:
       

       

      The intro of this Gilles de Rais song is also very Deshabillz-esque (and features Lucifer from Gille's Love)

       

       

      So I'd say it's been around quite some time, just like counting on German (earliest use by Zi:Kill afaik).

       

       

    2. saiko

      Recently I've been digging acts from the 80s, and discovered a track by Dead End (I guess it's from their 2nd or 3rd album) where Morrie does a speaking part. I think that's the oldest song where I found this trope.

    3. saiko

      saiko

      I found the song. It's from their 1986's album "Dead line": 

       

  22. So I've listened to CrowXClass seriously for the first time in a long time, and it's so different listening to them after having experienced more Vkei. 

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      Also, the only songs I can seem to pinpoint any specific Vkei influence to are Kirikuro, which is definitely influenced by Dir en Grey, and Karakuri Meiro and Hakanazaka, which follow general Vkei patterns.

  23. So I've really been sleeping on Jigsaw but holy fuck they're like the perfect mix of old school and modern Vkei. 

  24. So in memory of Daisuke from Kagerou, I burned some Joss paper. It's an old Vietnamese tradition to burn Joss paper for the dead (plus I had a shit-ton of Joss paper I bought from the Asian market just because it said "Bank note of hell" on them, so I thought I'd put them to use xD)

  25. Sonica Instruments is releasing really well made samples of Japanese instruments, for those who want to add some traditional Japanese flavor to whatever music you make
