  1. Western "Metalhead" logic: Black Sabbath and Metallica. Sound nothing alike, both considered Metal. Bullet for my Valentine, sounds something like Metallica. Not considered "trve metal". 

    Actually, this is kind of the logic of fanboys in the western side of the music scene anyway. The only reason I don't see it in Vkei is because it's accepted that the lines between genres are blurred.

      @reminiscing2004 I know right? I only use them as a convenient way to group similar bands, but in the end, it all boils down to Rock and Roll.

      I definitely don't see BFMV as punk, wtf? I think many of the metalcore bands are closer to metal than punk anyday. Maybe if you wanted to simplify their genre definition, I'd just say they're rock or something.

       

      For me technical instrumentals + heavy music = metal

       

      but then again, I don't really care about genres.. so who am I to say?

  2. What's the difference in content between the VHS's, "Cuartet 2004.1.7目黒鹿鳴館 Symphony of 「Creativity」-Blue「-」Ogre-)" and "Cuartet 2004.1.8目黒鹿鳴館 Symphony of 「Destruction」-Red「-」Ogre-)"

    Like, which songs does each have on them?

  3. What's with that style of production Yayoi (La'miss Fairy) did where both guitars would be crammed onto the right channel in certain parts of the song? 

    Why the fuck did Yayoi think it was a good idea? It literally just makes the song harder to listen with headphones because I can't fucking make out wtf the guitars are playing because one ear is trying to process both while the guitars and the other only hears fucking drums and bass. 

     

    Or in the case of Ogre by Cuartet, two guitars are crammed into the right channel while the left channel just has a really quiet version of the actual left guitar. But only during the riff. The rest of the song is normal I think

      diryangrey

      i got this a few times on some tracks & in most cases it was a strange shitty rip

      like 最後の嘘 by alsdead - beautiful song imho from 2015 but i got used to hearing ALL guitars hard panned right; some other instruments + vocals hard panned left.
      listened to it like that for 4+ years and then a few months ago someone uploaded a FLAC here - totally reasonable normal easy to listen to mastering on that one.
      no idea how it happened tho but maybe phasing issues if someone's tried to do an analog rip.

    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      @diryangrey That could be a possibility, but the rip of Ogre by Cuartet I have is a lossless rip, and its conveniently only during the main riff. The rest of the song is normal, and the rest of the mini album actually sounds better and clearer for some reason. 

  4. 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. 

    1. suji

      suji

      same, except only my hair curls up on one side 😂😂😂

    2. Ikna

      Ikna

      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. 

    3. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      @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

  5. Whenever singing along to Vkei songs, does anyone else just make up the lyrics as you go along? Because that's generally what I do. I just sing whatever it sounds like they're singing because I'm just doing it for fun lol

     

    1. Karma’s Hat

      Karma’s Hat

      oh man when I've recorded something that we've sung when drunk or something and listen to it the next day. you can even spot the moment when someone loses confidence in the lyrics and starts winging it with about 50% of the volume previously

    2. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      I don't think I've ever known the lyrics to a full Japanese song and I have over 10 years of VK experience. I 'sing along great' in the car, but when it comes to Karaoke, I get totally busted XD

    3. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      Whenever I do Karaoke with my friends, 90% of the time, I'm just winging it. I'm better at imitating the vocal style than I am at guessing lyrics though lmao

  6. Where is my thank you for getting VisualIoner to change the title of why Paranoid Circus disbanded? xD

    Honestly, I don't think he had any ill intent, but some fans only just read the headline.

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      I knew it! xD. I just randomly found you through Haru and I was like "She seems cool. I'm gonna add her" xD.

  7. Why I hate charter: The wifi always goes out when I'm messaging my girlfriend something important. 

    Thanks for making me panic about my relationship, charter! 

  8. Why the hell did teenage me buy into the dumbass rumor that Mahiro from Kiryu was a middle schooler in Curse and MADARA? What pre-teen lets Yuuga write him a song themed around Nakadashi (I don't think I should have to explain what that is lmao)

      Sounds more reasonable than our insane timeline attempt! I think some of those bands were active within the same year. My original concern was how long he can stay on stage with his eye condition. It's degenerative, and said to blind him by 40. Haven't heard any recent updates.

    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      From what I'm guessing, he's just performing as much as he can until he can't anymore, and honestly, I don't blame him. I just hope potential blindness doesn't stop him from pursuing his passion any further, as blind musicians were historically very important to the development of music (especially traditional Japanese music)

    3. 091012

      091012

      I don't think it will. Judging by his message and intent...I mean he's got good people around him. Mostly I've just heard he knocks over microphones or gets lost when the lights dim, nothing too bad. I'm sure they'll accommodate for it with his following and status being so high.

  9. Wow facebook's new layout is fucking shit.

    Seriously, the old layout had nothing wrong with it! Why does everything got to look like a mobile app now?

    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      @Enki You're right lol. The only reason I even use it is because all my friends are on there lol. If it were up to me, all of my friends would use FriendProject (a clone of old myspace with all the old HTML editing)

    3. ki11edb1th3qu33n

      ki11edb1th3qu33n

      or make your own site or msngr on wix chat like that because we cant trust big tech websites now adays the privacys concern right now

  10. Wow, so apparently, I can't add this video of these people playing traditional Chinese music to my playlist because it's marked as "made for kids". WTF

     

    1. IGM_Oficial

      IGM_Oficial

      YouTube sucks real hard sometimes

  11. Wow. My joke prediction that Avex would start losing a sh*t ton of money was sort of right. Only, people aren't boycotting Avex because of Nightmare going on hiatus (That was the joke part) but rather, it's something even more unrealistic. But one of the Avex sublables, Avex pictures, actually banned the export of products outside of Japan. I've seen my fair share of evil record labels *cough* Shimizuya *cough*, but Avex is one of the worst. First, you have the standard overworking bands, then you have the fact they pay them a crappy amount, which again, standard of the huge corporations. Then, they jack up the prices of the music because no one is buying their shit, effectively ripping off the hardcore fans because of earlier said thing. But it is also filled with some of the stupidest businessmen I've ever seen. I thought Yoshiki was a bad businessman, but this move makes Yoshiki look like Steve Jobs. 

    Now, IDK if Avex Trax or the other sublabels will be affected, but I honestly don't care

  12. Wow. There exists someone who is crappier than Maria Cross.

  14. You know how there are Dir En Grey bootlegs floating around? 

    I wonder if there are some pretty crazy and cringey bootlegs out there xD

    1. Takadanobabaalien

      Takadanobabaalien

      fake t-shirts? you bet there is lmao.

    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      For some reason, the idea of a fake T shirt with horribly photo shopped pictures of members of Diru, GazettE and An Cafe with "Shamate Muisc Brigade" on it just crossed my mind xD

      (Note: Shamate is the Chinese version of VisualKei people)

  15. You know, GossiP just needs to abandon Yukika and Ains. Why? The Flyer Designer for Ains printed "AKASAKA BLITZ" as "AKASAKA BILTZ". *Facepalm*

    You only had one job, Yukika!

    1. IGM_Oficial

      IGM_Oficial

      I hope that no one notices the typo and the band keeps with it until releasing a live DVD with it on the name. It'd be awesome.

    2. Takadanobabaalien

      Takadanobabaalien

      they already adressed it on twitter

    3. Takadanobabaalien

      Takadanobabaalien

      apparently ains made the flyer without gossip knowing about it, so they got really happy when they presented the final flyer to them and they saw that they were going to do a one man there. they didnt even notice it at first but when they did they all burst out in laughter.

  16. Youtube randomly recommended Phineas and Ferb in Japanese to me, and it low key sounds like a Guruguru Eigakan song

     

    1. Tokage

      Tokage

      i see your phineas & ferb and i raise you russian guruguru eigakan #moodz

       

       

  17. Youtube's crazy recommendations just keep getting better. So apparently, Marilyn Manson and Markiplier are country music.

    I don't even listen to country and I haven't listened to Marilyn Manson in a long-ass time

      @suji Don't know why youtube thinks I'm into that stuff lol. 

  18. ここにラブソングを by DEZERT really feels like if you took Guruguru Eigakan, and made them Nu-Metal. 

     

  19. 羅宇屋 is a guilty pleasure of mine. I usually can't stand new agey stuff, especially pseudo-traditional Japanese, but 羅宇屋's kind is quite weird and oddly catchy.

    Perhaps I'm biased tho because they're angura

  20. "Deep Love" and "A Habit" by Kar'MariA sound like they could be Grieva songs. I wonder if Grieva ever did a cover of a Yuuga song. I know that the song Wish uses elements of the Chateau la Tour song "I Wish" but is mainly based on I'll from Dir en Grey

  21. (CW: Crappy joke incoming) Don't you just hate it when people promote themselves? By the way, have you checked out D:[ab]-e? They're formed by vocalist Akusaki, Guitarist Ryohei and their promotion slave, Aimi. We have a single called SICK. Please check it out at [insert sketchy hyperlink here]. Please support out music and help me please I am legally a slave I do not get paid for this because we do not sell our music please send money im homless isleepinshinjukustationinthewomensbathroomhelpiambeingheldforransombytheyakuzapleasegetmeawayfromyayoi

      You're welcome! I absolutely love her aesthetic

  24. Addiction from Grieva gives off vibes of their proto-band, Reload

  25. Adding the .vob files to a rar archive for uploading. I'm probably just gonna upload those instead of the long ass video I put together. 

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      @Shadowtear I was just adding them to a rar archive to put on mediafire for anyone who wants the raw files. I combined all the files into one video for uploading to youtube, and possibly uploading to Mediafire

    2. colorful人生

      colorful人生

      Ah, I wish I got to this status earlier. There's software for .vob merging, so you wouldn't have to stitch/re-encode them together in a video editor. https://www.videohelp.com/software/VOBMerge

       

      You could also use Handbrake to do MP4 rips, etc. from the DVD (libdvdcss can circumvent copy protection)

      @colorfuljinsei Omg thanks! I'll keep that site in mind next time!
