Oh God, the strangest song of the music history! I wouldn't never sleep with such a melody in my mind

Yeah. And there doesn't seem to be any influence on any Vkei bands that they've had to call them Vkei, especially since Deathrock is rare in Vkei anyway.

FWIW, the death rock Sex Android were pretty solid actually, from what I remember hearing from them on YT. Nothing exceptionally mind-blowing, but pretty solid. I was also surprised to find out that 'our' Sex-Android's first releases were in like the mid-to-late '90s (also afair they sounded a little more straightforwardly punk on those than on their later, more 'known' art pop material where things got mixed w/ other influences) and they had some power gap between that period and their art pop era

Yeah, Sex Android started out quite Punk. When their last guitarist, Toru, joined, they kind of took a more creative route, including some folk influence, surf rock influence, etc. They even have a full on Enka song (I think everyone remembers Kowenji, Na No Ne... though xD).

Upon further research (AKA I found someone in the know xD), the Death Rock Sex Android was apparently meant to just be a small project, which is sad because it sounded quite good. They probably would have gotten more popular if they continued on into the 90's, because the 90's saw a rise in Gothic genres for Japanese Rock. If they had continued Sex Android into that era, they would've gained a bigger fanbase, possibly among the Vkei scene because well, they do look Visual xD. It's like the project ended at such an inconvenient time.

But at least there is Phadia xD

Well, there are tons of weebs going "I learned Japanese from watching anime!"

I know, I was basing my joke off of that xD 

There is a good chance his guitar is a custom model only made for him, like a lot of band members have. Not 100% sure tho 

I found the model, and you're right xD. 

I was hoping I'd be able to find a model for sale, since I'm thinking of getting a new guitar. I'll just get the ESP stream then, since it's like the closest thing, just the bottom horn is shorter

You seem to be making excuses for him. I think he even mentioned and apologized for it. Kisaki himself should be above scandals it's not the fans fault if he gets involved with these types of things which isn't the first time for him. 

IDK, I'm just not as harsh on people as others are, I guess. Though, if he actually did this himself, hopefully he's learned his lesson. 

But still... the whole thing just doesn't add up. IDK, it's in the past, it's happened. 

KISAKI deserves an extra 2 birthday cakes this year specifically FOR that Tanuki mess a while ago. Here's to another year of the same makeup **

Yu-dai. No question.

Yu-Dai San. 

And I'm five months younger than the Pokémon anime lol

they never specified a date. im also waiting for it

this live video must be epic...it's been 2 years without any music video

@Takadanobabaalien I hope they haven't forgotten about it, or ditched it.

@Gichi GichiYeah. Any video involving Kuroyuri is guaranteed to be epic xD

Yeah it's all down to contract, Kuroyume as an act had been popular for almost a decade at the point of signing with AVEX. The label also took over all of his solo stuff and SADS work too, so to them Kiyoharu is what you call a "life-r" (someone who remains with the company even when doing different acts and projects) He's someone respected enough on the scene and in the business that it's not unwise to leave him with creative control and save a fortune on his contract by not insisting on buying his name(s) (something that he could just refuse and look for a less tight-fisted company.

this is a guess

Idk shit about the music industry, everything I know about contracting and promotional rights is from profashional rassling.

I remember Sin was in Syndrome too, wasn't he? I know Ruiza was. 

Hopefully the vocalist is still into music and doesn't mind coming back for one more collab. And I think Kyo secretly wants to go back to doing 90's style Vkei, since a lot of Sukekiyo's stuff has that 90's Vkei gothic rock influence. Also, there are some pics of modern Kyo wearing 90's makeup, and he still looks good in it. In fact, I can sort of feel as if he likes wearing it still

Yeah I think only Kisaki wasn't in D haha
Hmm their singer Hideki re-recorded some songs on their 2010 ep Rise of Insanity, did you check it that out? I think he still sings okay. ^^ Wow I never thought Kyo would go back to vk looks. I remember when his pics were of he shirtless with sunglasses and without any makeup lol When i saw that I thought dir en grey started to hate vk and would never go back to their roots

I'll have to check out that EP~

Also, I think the only reason why Dir En Grey said they weren't Vkei was because they were trying to expand onto an American audience, which expects masculinity and Brootality. I think that's why Kyo formed Sukekiyo, so he can live out the old days. I mean, his first idol was Kiyoharu from Kuroyume, which we all know Kuroyume for their mix of Alt. Metal, Thrash Metal and Gothic Rock. 

I think Dir En Grey's transition into Nu Metal in the 2000's though was natural, since Nu Metal is a derivative of Alternative Metal. Hence why it still felt natural. The Deathcore stuff... felt unnatural. And the fact it's progressive means that it's kind of a dead end, because now people expect brootality and shredding. 

I wonder what would happen if Kisaki stayed in Diru. Would they be as big as they are today? Would they still be Vkei? What would they sound like? 

I guess that's why I loved Phantasmagoria. They were like the prog version of a Kote-Kei band xD. I notice a lot of former 90's Vkei musicians tend to kind of keep the old elements in their new bands, like Kon did for Cell. Even though Cell was Metalcore, it still felt 90's-ish

this is literally all we know

I saw that, but I'm seeing so much discussion of stuff I can't find anything else on. 

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

it's one of my favorites of theirs!!

Same! It's also one of the first songs that got me into them like 2 days ago xD

@Original SakuOoh~ Thanks!

It's weird how I'm now just getting into Dezert, since they share a common fanbase with Kuroyuri To Kage (and I can see why~) and I'm a huge Kuroyuri Fan as all of MH knows xD

殺意 is love, 殺意 is light

Also, check out their rarez compilation 暫定的オカルト週刊誌① (I uploaded it a long time ago, it's somewhere around here)! Songs like 秘密 are essential.

i like sakura no uta , ghost , hentai

They've just announced a new album! 

Oh wow! That's amazing! Thanks~
