Does anyone know anything about Mad Face Records (Dezert's label)?
I can't find anything on them
-
Satsui by Dezert, but every time Chiaki says "Satsui", Furanfuran by Kuroyuri to Kage plays, but every time K slaps his bass, Dead End Kids by Inugami Circus Dan plays, but every time Kyouko trills an R, Shinagawa Shinjuu by Ningen Isu plays, but every time the Taishogoto is played, the whole thing repeats itself.
Wait, this would literally go on for infinity, because it would just keep repeating from the beginning

Turns out there are 2 Vkei bands named Sex Android. One is the well known Eroguro band, the other is a very short lived Deathrock band.
-
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

I always wondered how Ningen Isu is able to make the Taishogoto (A type of Japanese harp from the 1920's with typewriter keys) sound so traditional. I mean, most Taishogoto pieces are normally Koto pieces, but they don't sound so traditional, unless they decide to attach Nylon strings (which is occaisonally done). IDK, it all just may be in my head. I think more bands in general should use the Taishogoto if they want to experiment with a traditional sound, since it's quite easy to play.

Ningen Isu is more than just a band, it's an experience.
You feel like you've been transported to this psychedelic world, where everything is full of sabbathy riffs, and everything sort of doesn't make sense, but feels right.
Then the vocals come in, and you feel like you've been transported back to the Meiji-Taisho period, with Kabuki like vocals. Everything around you is like a psychedelic Ukiyo-we woodblock print.
And no, I did not smoke anything before listening to them xD -
I wonder if there are Vkei weebs who are like "I learned French from looking at names of KoteKei bands, and listening to Versilles!" xD
-
Well, there are tons of weebs going "I learned Japanese from watching anime!"

Anyone know what kind of guitar Takemasa Kujou uses? I know it's an ESP guitar, but it looks like a cross between an ESP Stream, and an Ibanez Iceman

I just realised it's Kisaki's birthday.
Happy Birthday, Kisaki. Even though you're not well respected among the Vkei community, and you can be a bit arrogant at times, I'm gonna be that one guy who still celebrates because I loved Phatasmagoria
-
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 **
