If possible, I'd like to request a T-Shirt of DEZERT~
-
If you do look into more AnguraKei, expect a lot of dark bands xD. And yeah, the quote is from We Are X~

When I straighten my hair, don't use hairspray, my hair ironically begins to look like 90's VisualKei hair.
The irony is, 90's Vkei hair generally requires a lot of hairspray xD.
Though I guess the easiest route is just do what you'd do with long "scene" hair, minus any hair product.
-
same, except only my hair curls up on one side 😂😂😂

do you have thick, curly hair?
Mine too starts to frizz when I straighten. Unfortunately it only looks bad, like I have straw on my head. If it looked better it would be cool, because of then I could easily do 80s goff hair.-

@IknaYeah, my hair often gets curly, but like messy curly xD. Straightening is the only way I can look good, and it prevents what would be a lot of frizz, at least on my hair.
I often use a little, but not too much hairspray on the bangs, so they won't curl out or frizz

The roasting of KoteKei though xD
-
So I made this meme/audio edit/experiment, where I took Kurui Dorei, but kept it in minor key (at least I think I did), since the original song switches from minor to major a lot. I at first did it to see if it would make the song any heavier. It actually fits well together. Thank gods Kuroyume were able to really play on time, or a normal listener could tell the audio was edited.

Yeah I've actually begun to care less about Diru (Especially since I found out a lot of their early stuff was copied from other bands, and their early stuff is my favourite so like, my entire life feels like a lie xD. I won't go into detail though)
-
Ah, well thanks then. I feel less of an idiot now. xD After all though, I am only human, and I just happen to be more prone to mistakes compared to other humans xD.
-
Sh*t.. I made that mistake. I feel stupid, and honestly, an argument was brewing so I deleted the post (and honestly, I admit I was kind of angry and talking out of my @ss. I'm extremely sorry...)
-
I remember I once came across this guy who thought Etsy To Utsu by Kiryu was about "Two girls forbidden loving in a country rooted in its traditions" And I explained that the lyrics have nothing to do with LGBT and he was like "that's because all you see is lyrics, but Mahiro has a deeper meaning in the lyrics you don't see" Like, Mahiro doesn't write the lyrics xD. And also, traditionally, there was no stigma in Japan against gays until the Meiji era. I think Kiryu would know this best xD. He also went on about the music video and all, and honestly was pulling stuff out of thin air. But it was obvious the guy didn't know much about out Kiryu, or Japanese History xD

"Wait, how is Inugami Circus Dan VisualKei? Their lead singer is a girl and they wear white makeup!" "OMG Yuko from Wagakki Band is such a great lyricist. Her song "Iroha Uta" is so creative!" And when you tell them that Iroha Uta is about a prostitute into BDSM and was originally by the vocaloid Rin Kagamine: "Stop trying to made the goddess look bad you peasant!" "My favourite KoteKei song is Rinkaku from Dir En Grey" "My favourite 90's band is The GazettE" "My favourite 80's band is Dir En Grey" "Is Kisaki a girl?" *Band wears dark lipstick* "OMG they're copying Dir En Grey" *Band plays pop rock* "Omg these guys are copying SuG" "Kiryu is totally copying Wagakki Band" "Memento Mori is totally copying Kiryu" "[insert random Enka singer] is totally copying Yuko Suzuhana" Sorry, I'm having too much fun with the Wagakki band roast, because in the world of AnguraKei (even though Wagakki really isn't Angura, they're lumped in), they're like The GazettE xD

Hi, so I'm looking for the tabs to "Ningen Shikkaku" off of Ningen Isu's second album, but I can't find any. Can anyone tab it out for me? Thanks in advance!
-
I like both old Kiryu and new Kiryu, but my favourite will always be their REALLY early days, from 2008 to 2010, back then they had more Emotive Hardcore influence mixed with 90's Vkei influence. And I'm glad newer Kiryu has managed to stay creative, and aren't afraid to experiment, even after going big (Unlike Wagakki Band which pulled an MCR and went pop before their first album. Then again, they're signed to Avex, so). I wish Mahiro would go back to singing more archaically, since it really fits their theme
-
The only one of two youtube channels that had good quality footage of Kabuki plays have been taken down...
And it was the only one that had act one of Benten Kozou..
-
Definitely better than what Gekkabijin had to offer~ Also, am I the only one that kind of cringed at the intro of Gekkabijin, where Mahiro recited the Iroha poem? It's just so weird to see a band who does traditional Japanese stuff to recite the Iroha poem in the modern dialect (i.e pronouncing it like "Iro wa ni oedo"), especially since Mahiro used to sing quite archaically in Kiryu's early days (Oirantan is a really good example).
-
That's sort of similar to what Gene Simmons said about X Japan, that if they were American, they'd be the biggest band in the world. I kind of see early VisualKei kind of like the rise of Speed Metal, Thrash Metal and Hardcore Punk in the US and UK, and 90's Vkei sort of like the rise of Gothic Rock influenced bands like AFI, along with the rise in Alternative Rock and Alternative Metal, like Primus, and Korn (Which we all know the latter would help pioneer Nu Metal.).
-
The Shamisen samples in the second one are quite good too~ And yeah, they also kind of remind me when I discovered Kiryu. I'm really hoping to hear more from this band~
-
Update: The single has already been released. Hopefully someone has the MP3 so I can hear the full songs
-
For my fellow fans of Traditional Japanese music, here's something interesting: Hikaru Sawai, son of the Koto master Tadao Sawai, started the proto-VisualKei Metal band Mephistopheles. His Koto work is also very Metal influenced.
IDK if he still plays in Mephistopheles though.
-
Nice, thanks for the tip.

Wait, people don't use their dogs to post for them? Well crap, I've been doing things wrong the entire time! xD

Chuck Berry just died...
RIP, Inventor of Rock N' Roll. I hope you'll enjoy playing guitar up there with the gods, or wherever you end up
-
Valid point there xD
-
Wasn't AvelCain like Kisaki's favourite band at one point? xD Also, the members of Mucc like Dezert. Oh god, I just realised I opened up the door to some sweet roasting on Mucc and Kisaki. xD

Restricting discussion on a band is not only censorship, but can be seen as elitist. It's like how on the Metal Archives, it's banned to discuss any band that is "core", is "makeup wearing f*gs" (Reffering to how they HATE Dir En Grey) and "is Glam". To restrict discussion on western Vkei because "we don't care about it" is just plain wrong. I may not care about Yohio, but I'm interested in BATAAR and Endigo. Just let them talk about it. Like Trombe's signature said "If you don't care, don't read".
-
Oh, I just remembered. I once came across this girl who was like "Kuroyume isn't VisualKei! They're Jpop!" and I told her "Um, they really don't like the label "Pop", and their poppy stuff, is quite complex and creative compared to most pop rock.". I also pointed out their more Metal early releases and she was like "It may have been Metal, but it's still pop because the riffs were catchy". Like, I don't think "Shin'ai Naru Death Mask" is "catchy". Also, the main riff to Kurui Dorei sounds like Metallica's "The Shortest Straw". I don't think Metallica could ever be considered pop (Well, at least before the black album. OOPS). In fact, Kurui Dorei is even heavier than some of Metallica. Totally "Jpop" Also, the fact their biggest inspirations are D'erlanger and Dead End (Kiyoharu even got his early look from Kyo of D'erlanger) kind of shouts VISUALKEI.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy things here! Compared to a lot of the people here, I'm a "newbie" though I think of myself as quite experienced. My expertise is dark, folk-sy Eroguro and Angurakei bands. Bands like Ningen Isu, Inugami Circus Dan, Sex Android, Mucc, or in terms of newer bands, Kuroyuri To Kage. Since you like Punk Rock, you'll probably like Inugami Circus Dan and Sex Android. Ningen Isu is more Sabbathy and Priesty, and Mucc is more Alternative Metal with a whole bunch of other influences. I've also been getting into a lot more 90's bands, and exploring a lot of really early 80's Vkei bands. It's amazing to think that almost all of the early influential Vkei bands were at one point just an offshoot of the Speed Metal/New Wave British Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal scene in Japan, and they probably didn't know what new thing they were starting. But, you ever need any information on an Eroguro or Angura band, I'm your gal!
