Oh, also, I noticed Garden also has a lot of influence from "Under..." by Kuroyume. 

Hell, that song could probably be considered one of the most influential songs of 90's Visual Kei

Kaoru's first band, DIE:STERIA, was a cover band in high school that played X Japan, Kamaitachi, Zi:Kill and Boowy songs.

I think Shinya also said that Zi:Kill really influenced his drumming style.

The entire name of Dir en Grey was taken from a Lareine song called Dir en Gray (Supposedly, Kamijo told them to use the name), which in turn, was taken from a band from the early 90's called Dir&Gray, an obscure band whose vocalist would later sing for Kneuklid Romance, and whose guitarist would be a roadie for Zi:Kill.

Personally, I don't think any of these are plagiarism, knowing the Visual Kei scene. It's more acceptable in the Vkei scene to do covers of songs like that, than it is in other music scenes. I think of it like sampling in old school Hip Hop. 

I am pretty well rounded for the most part, though I'd consider myself a little more moralistic than nihilistic and a little less Hedonistic and more Asceticistic. Though, a lot of the questions were a bit too black-and-white lol

RIP to 2008 revialkei

He should tour with Dir en Grey or Sukekiyo when he gets his band started

I added the band, but cannot elaborate on that single because I only found that information on Grass Thread and nowhere else..

Not even a photo.

Their official website had a discography section, but it was empty for some odd reason. 

Also thanks for adding them there! I also helped add other bands relating to the history of Kuroyuri to Kage. 

Oof... Tsubasa isn't good at keeping a band I guess

According to vk.gy, the first band of Koyomi from Kuroyuri to Kage and Chiaki from DEZERT, Yukiline, had a single called Someiyoshino. 

Does anyone have more info on this?

The Black Swan, Screw and Automod? Nice

I find it funny how the vocalist looks NOTHING like he did in the pictures.

If you're gonna go out of your way to look like Mei, you might as well commit to it

Normally, I can understand cosplaying and dressing up like other bandmen... but this is not how you go about it

Wait, only some of the members may be from Morphine. It doesn't necessarily mean it isn't Mei

Yeah that's definitely Mei. Similar nose, bridge piercing, lip piercing, hair, style. If it ain't Mei, IDK who it is

Holy shit I sure hope this is Mei. 

The only explanation for the name is they tried typing it on a touch screen and went with it. 

These guys are still around? Damn, that release date tho

Is the member on the top right in the group pic an actual girl or just a dude doing the whole 'token girly member' thing? (I mean it wouldnt be the first time a shironuri band's got a female member...)

I think he may just be a token Onnagatta. But who knows?

Tsubasa from Narcolepsy and Teketeke formed a new band. They've been around for a few weeks I think (or even months). They're called Sunawachi Sei

https://artist.aremond.net/sunawachi/

Members:

翼 (Tsubasa) - Vocals

アスラン (Asuran/Aslan?) - Guitar

幸子 (Sachiko) - Guitar

魅燿 (Miyou) - Bass

They also have music for listening on their website.

Tbh, the album should have more tracks if it's gonna have 5 singles, but they gotta stick to that same formula, sadly

NEED

For the first time in my life, I feel really confident. Happy Halloween from your local Mei/Karuna clone

Mitsuki having a vocal role? My body is ready!

I think the only time he ever did vocals for a Kiryu song was the screams for Oboro, if I'm correct? I could be wrong

Shimizuya thugs though won't let them do anything until a year has passed since their disbandment

Damn. I was hoping they'd keep going on. How old are the members anyway?

I think I could, but I unfortunately don't own that release so I would need some clear pictures of the lyrics.  But I'm very familiar with the song and that style of writing! I would try my best of course

I have the lyric booklet and the single. I could scan it for you. The lyrics look intimidating to read at first, since they're spaced very oddly and look disorderly.
