Another proof that even pros fail miserably sometimes.
And I've always thought Kaoru's nervousness at 98' Budokan was an exception...

Weirdest / most experimental / avantgarde VK band or release? What do you guys think?

There was that one Guruguru Eigakan song that was literally a Buddhist Sutra turned into a rap song by the end

Every VK look would improve 300% if all bandmen were forced to wear JEANS

It's really crazy listening to proto-kei bands like G-Schmitt and BOOWY, playing melodies and riffs that would become cliche in Visual Kei, many of them still cliches today.

Is there a reason Wagakki Band isn't associated with Visual Kei? I just watched one of their really popular videos for the first time and everyone looks the part. Went to look at their wikipedia page (lel), and vk isn't mentioned at all

Who's GazettE's female back up singer?

if vk strays into kpop boy band territory and idol kei becomes a thing, then i'm done with vk

Monyo from baby kingdom is 46 years old? 😮

This is a weird question, but am I the only one who thinks that smart phones have taken the wrong route, design-wise?
I'm sorry... but I really don't see the appeal in having wafer-thin phones that can bend in your pocket if designed poorly, or phones that are literally all screen.
Imo, those don't improve my experience at all. If anything, they are a detriment to it because there is so fucking little to hold onto when watching a video. It honestly feels unergonomic to use, and this may just be my nostalgia for the early 2000's speaking, but I honestly miss the physical feel of old-school smart phones, and I honestly don't feel that just making the entire phone a screen, with no physical buttons at all, or even edges, really improves the user experience.
I honestly would be happy with a phone that has the physical design of a t-mobile sidekick, but with the modern capabilities of modern smart phones.

@Gesu I think it would be cool if companies just added a little bit more diversity into the design of the phone. While I do think touch screen is amazing, I'm horrible at typing with it, and while it is easier to turn it sideways to type, the on screen keyboard takes up so much visual real estate. Plus, there really isn't much to hold onto now that some screens wrap around the phone, and using a phone for too long really hurts my hands because there is literally no ergonomics lol. I think phone companies kinda forgot they're making a handheld device, and it needs to feel good in the hands.

@suji That's why I was excited for the new flip phones that are coming out. While I still would prefer a physical qwerty keyboard, I think the folding touch screen concept was still pretty cool and a breath of fresh air, even if companies kinda went about it too quickly

forbidden genre concept: industrial enka (do not research)

IDK if I'm allowed to promote this here, but I'm gonna be streaming GTA San Andreas a little tonight for the first time on Twitch, and I was wondering if any of y'all would like to join in and give feedback

Can there be a new GTA Clone series? Because Rockstar has gone to shit and I don't trust them to make GTA VI any good at this point.
We should've got a sleeping dogs 2, but Square Enix had to be a huge dick to the companies they work with

Still can't get over the fact Hakuei claimed that only Japanese people can be Vkei because according to him, you have to have a very specific set of facial features.
Guess any Japanese person who doesn't look like Hakuei can't be Vkei. Sorry guys, must be Ainu or Ryukyuan or something lmao. Like, I'm no anthropologist, but according to Hakuei, having a sharp jaw is a Japanese trait.
-
@Naaaaani In the musical department, of course. Hakuei beats them all.
In the opinions department however, they're all *Danny Devito voice* TRAESH

Yeah but that would be an actual valid point devoid of logical fallacies whether one agrees or not, which isn't what Hakuei did lmao. He just projected his facial features onto Japanese culture and said "This is why non-Japanese people can't be Vkei". It's like when [insert professional opinion-haver whom shall not be named] said Hip Hop can't be music because it is only rhythm and not melody (ignoring that Hip Hop isn't just Run DMC rapping over a drum machine anymore). Like, damn I guess only classical music can be music.

Whether you think Vkei can be Japanese only or not, the "sharp jaw" and "narrow face" argument is like the worst because... well... look at Japanese people! Hell, look at Hakuei's own bandmates lol. By Hakuei's own definition, Penicillin's drummer can't be Visual Kei because he has a rounder face.
Sorry O-Jiro, maybe the Kamchadals or Chukchi will accept you into their culture, seeing as Hakuei is the CEO of the Japanese nationality.
I have immense respect for Hakuei as a musician, but like... even if you believe Visual Kei belongs to Japan because of cultural reasons, the facial feature argument is shit

@cullucoo Don't forget all those Indigenous Siberians and Austronesians as well lmao. For a "homogenous ethnostate", Japan has very mixed origins lmao
