I am living for this aesthetic

I'd like to see someone who knows a lot about music explain what's going on musically that makes Kote-Kei sound like it does. The commonly used chord progressions, keys, tempos, techniques, etc.
That would be really interesting and insightful to see.

I agree. Visual Kei has an interesting sound and aesthetic that mainstream J-Rock and western Rock/Metal just doesn't have. No offense to mainstream J-Rock or western Rock/Metal, but it doesn't stand out like Visual Kei does. Try as you like, but you won't find many bands like Mist of Rouge in western Thrash Metal and Punk, Kuroyuri to Kage in Western Nu Metal, etc. You'll find bands with some similarities, but not the full package. As Visual Kei fans, we've come to love and accept this uniqueness and for Visual Kei to get popular, it would have to adapt very closely to mainstream trends, making it lose it's identity, and possibly taking away what we love about the scene.

In an alternate universe, Deadly Sanctuary songs are actually part of DEViL KiTTY's discography and they sound way fucking better because Yuuga's singing them instead of Yayoi's nasally ass.

Oh I know, I just know some people who act like somehow bands lasted longer in the past, and that the disbandment rate is somehow a new thing, and I was agreeing with you that it's been pretty stable.
-
THIS. I hate it when people act like bands somehow lasted longer in the 90's. Like, Pierrot, La'mule and Shazna were some of the most popular bands of the 90's, and they still met their fate where it was due. Indie Scenes all around the world have similar disbandment rates as well. It's pretty much the nature of a niche music scene

I hope that NEVER happens lmao. No offense to those who like trap, but I hate the sound (at least the current sound. There is some "proto-trap" that I find tolerable, like UGK), the aesthetic, the whole attitude. But sadly, that may actually become a reality. Falling in Reverse's "Popular Monster" mixed edgy white boy trap™ with metalcore, and while I do see there is an audience for it, I'm way too much of a Hip Hop boomer to really vibe with it.

There are a few bands recently that have seen some minor popularity, like Drab Majesty and She Passed Away. It's not on the same level of popularity as in the 80s, but it's more than we had in say 2010.

Also, there are a ton of people, regardless of their political affiliation, who wear colored hair. Dyed hair is arguable more popular and accepted than it ever was, and so are piercings and makeup on men. The current social climate is arguably the best for Visual Kei, because alternative fashion is becoming more normalized as people just stop giving a fuck. I mean, Scene fashion is seeing a revival in 2020, and in recent years, Gothic Rock and Post Punk made a mini comeback. People are finally starting to no longer giving a fuck what you look like, or what you wear.

Visual Kei was, and pretty much always will be a counterculture movement with a cult following. Things come and go in popularity. That's been the case with Nu Metal, Eurodance, etc. Part of it is the fact that Harajuku culture is dead and J-Fashion is so toned down, and a proper J-Fashion revival is possible, but no matter what, Visual Kei isn't going to be the mainstream phenomenon it barely even was at one point. Its always gonna be a niche movement with niche music tastes. Japanese people and Americans always have, and always will be mainstream taste-wise. Thats the nature of things. No use getting mad about it, because there really is nothing you can really do about it. Just enjoy Visual Kei while it's still a thing.

My ears are ready

I wish!! Panic Channel was awesome!
-
Nightmare officially revives, AINS will sign another band, but soon flop as a whole as Yukika will have been taking out too many loans. Gulu Gulu will release a full length and it will be awesome Mitsuki Sakai starts a solo career, covers Kurara Zeroshiki, Kiryu and Mizelia songs Mamo will sell his pee to fangirls Still no god damn X Japan album
-
I'm considering buying Devil Kitty's first album, but I have a question for those that own it: Does it come with a lyric booklet? I'm curious because I've seen some for sale that have none, and I'm kinda in the dark lol
-
What are the full details? Did he get ganged up on?
-
They actually do. I'm not joking.
-
I wish it was easy to remove vocals from a song. There are so many songs I like the vocal track of, but don't care for the instrumentals and just wanna redo the instrumentals

@Manabu Oh I've tried that and it barely works with the songs I want to redo lol.

Japanese cops are notorious for being useless and corrupt, such as letting high collar crime go unnoticed, and ruling murders as suicides. Wouldn't put murder past them tbh
-
Well there is Seo Taiji and Boys, which in the 90's, did a mix of Hip Hop, Pop, RnB, Rock AND Metal depending on how they were feeling that day lol
-
Hopefully so. At least a Kon session band or something!
-
Bandmen should just stay away from idol stuff. This is proof of that
-

Great, someone bought that Devil Kitty VHS I was waiting to get. Looks like I'm never seeing those PVs ever, because the only other ones for sale don't come with a DVD rip, and one of them is like 50 dollars.
-
Oh definitely. It's also worth mentioning that the song Yumemonogatari also not-so-subtly uses a part from Penicillin's Chaos lol
