Can't wait for what this will sound like!

I feel like they're trying to go for a regal European look... by using white versions of the Kimono that Gidayu musicians wear (check hidden contents for reference). This is not a good look, guys. The fabrics are cheap, the styles clash, Mitsuki take off that fucking wig. Only Hiyori's outfit really looks somewhat good and even then, it's a stretch. Tbh, these guys need a break though. They're overworking theirselves and Mahiro's eye condition is only getting worse. They should take hiatus to get shit together.

I don't particularly mind Rap Metal/Rapping Nu Metal (I mean, Cuartet did it pretty well for those 3 songs they did) but this.. Mei, don't do this to yourself. Rap Metal just doesn't fit you. Not unless you can make it like really dark, like Dir en Grey did with some of their Nu Metal songs (In fact, I'd like to see more Diru vulgar era worship from him. Like the Memento Mori song MERRY CHAINSAW, which is a tribute to IIID Empire by Dir en Grey)

I looked up the band this Tetsucorin person used to be in (Peanuts for a Party Boy)... not very impressed. If they start a band together, I sure hope that they don't sound like that.

I live for these kinds of looks. Traditional Japanese influenced looks. I'm also glad they're not trying too hard to look like AvelCain anymore. Branching out into something of their own

Haruka returned for Mei's birthday live. Also, he posted something on twitter that according to google's crappy translation, he's in an exprimental studio with some different friends' band? Here is the original tweet and picture.

My body is always ready for more Karuna stuff

I feel you a lot. I can't connect well with people where I live, since I'm in a tiny town where a lot of people don't share my interests. And even though I have some best friends, a sort-of spiritual brother who cares about me, and a loving girlfriend, I also feel alone and find people hard to talk to or approach. And family? They're toxic and abusive so I don't even bother with them. Life can be pretty hard when the only people who care for you are so far. A lot of the time, all we can do is just look out for ourselves.

The way they labeled their members, using "Uta" instead of "Vo." or "Yongen" instead of "Ba.", reminds me of how Memento Mori labeled their members. I'm hoping for some Kuroyuri or Memento Mori worship here.

Sun: Pisces Rising: Taurus Moon: Aries Venus: Aquarius What a huge mess

When you Asian but you also got 3 teeth and drive a pickup truck

Also, IDK if Vocoders count, but literally every song from Metronome

I liked the song Tobiori-Kun better. But hopefully they'll have more songs like that

Well it's been two months. I should've put a wager on this

I think I found a pic of you.

Sutari ex. La Cen Zhow and I had a small conversation about this one band in the early 90's that was called Dir & Gray (way before the Lareine song or the band we know today came) because he named his Dir en Grey "Copyband" Dorian Gray lol. He was really cool, but my friend, who is friends with Sutari, had to translate everything for us. Also, Karuna from Kimi wa Surudoku follows my instagram, but I don't think that's too special since he seems to follow anyone who follows him.

I also mostly listen to older stuff lol. So a lot of the bands here will be inactive (and one has a member who is no longer with us) but are nontheless a must-listen. For bands similar to Dir en Grey, The GazettE (assuming you like GazettE's old stuff), Mucc, and Girugamesh, I'd recommend - Kagerou - They were really close to Dir en Grey and Mucc and showed a lot of mutual influence on eachother. Also a primary influence on the GazettE's early stuff. Cuartet - Your typical early 2000's vkei band. The vocalist was in a band with Ruki, Uruha and Reita. DEZERT - lots of influence from Mucc and Girugamesh Caligari - Is responsible for Mucc, having signed them to their record label in their early years. They don't sound a lot like Mucc, but they're a must listen. Kuroyuri to Kage - Lots of influence from Mucc and Dir en Grey. Also some Kagerou influence here and there. Their ex guitarist had a band with DEZERT's vocalist. MERRY - Has some songs with Mucc and Kagerou influence. Has a lot of jazzy songs too, not unlike the GazettE 12012 - Has some grade A Nu Metal like Mucc, Girugamesh, MTH and Diru did, except theirs had their own flare. DiSPiNA - Lots of Mucc influence La'Mule - Similar to early Dir en Grey Kuroyume - Is responsible for early Dir en Grey Grieva - pretty much copied early Dir en Grey but were still really good Gill'e Cadith - random obscure band that pretty much a lot of indie bands in the early 2000's, most notably the gazette, tried to be like. Phantasmagoria - Really iconic band from Undercode productions. Bassist is basically that asshole that used to be in La:Sadie's and now is always getting his 40 something year old ass into trouble. For Versailles - D - Really good symphonic metal ACE - had an actual violinist Aiolin - Has an actual violinist, and is still active And some random bands that I personally like that you should try - Guruguru Eigakan Lamiel ZIZ (Kozi from Malice Mizer's current band) Gibkiy Gibkiy Gibkiy Deathgaze Zi:Kill Kiryu CrowXClass

What kind of bands do you currently listen to? Depending on what you currently know, I can recommend some similar, and/or connected artists.

What a clusterfuck
