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.

For me is the whole Jyulie's discography
after months searching around the internet,only in this forum i could find
and I am very grateful for the attitude of you guys in sharing your stuff here.This band is absolutely amazing for me and got even better as Gossip
 
 

 
 

If it were up to me, I'd look for one of their early VHS's and buy that, since it's hard to find good rips of their early PVs on youtube (The only good rip I can find is Juujika Tono Tawamure)
But if I had to choose between those two, I'd buy Corkscrew, because one of my personal favourites, "Rock And Roll", is on that. I mean, it's a raw Punk song with the chorus referring to a David Bowie song (Rock And Roll Suicide, except it's been changed to Suicide Rock And Roll)

just buy all the rights to Kuroyume on yahoo auctions

It amazes me how much people still care about Kisaki and Kyo having a falling out literally 20+ years ago. There are much better reasons to attack Kisaki's character these days, anyway. 

My relationship history is WEIRD. Any girlfriend I've had was online, only one was real, the other two were catfishing me, by the same person. 
The closest I've ever had to a real life relationship is this wonderful girl I met last year, she and I became best friends and I fell for her, hard. She wasn't really into girls, but she let me be her kitty (S/D stuff. We both were really into that). She even became my first kiss (If being kissed on the forehead counts), which I still remember dearly to this day. But the happiness didn't last long because I wanted so much affection and was kinda clingy which stressed her out. It didn't help she was also dealing with a complicated situation with another guy who honestly was only using her for attention (and later, sex) and it honestly got toxic between them. He kept hurting her and I was in the middle of it. I promised them both I'd stay neutral, until one day, she came to me between classes crying intensely, and I tried to comfort her and a friend of the guy and another girl noticed what was going on and helped me try to help her feel better, and they told us their past with the guy, which... I can just say he disgusts me now. She eventually decided not to have any more to do with him, and eventually found a guy who treated her right, which both made me happy, but at the same time, I was wishing so badly it was me in her arms because I was still in love with her. But she still hugged me occasionally, just much less. 
She now lives in Canada and she and I still talk very often though. And even though last year was stressful, it wasn't as dramatic as this year, which my god I am disgusted at how I spent a whole semester this year fawning over a girl who only wanted me for attention, and quickly abandoned me when she found someone who was easier to control.
The story with that, well there was this girl who became a best friend of mine, she had a boyfriend but said she'd date me in a heartbeat. Throughout the months, she and I were sort of almost in a relationship, but not exactly. The most we did is hug, cuddle and say "I love you". I didn't kiss her, nor did she kiss me because I didn't want her to cheat on her boyfriend (In hindsight, she was really already cheating, but I was so infatuated with her, that I threw logic to the ground.) Anyway, another friend of ours had a crush on her and she also said she had a thing for him. He and I promised not to let her get in between us, but she tried to turn me against him. She'd also try to make herself look more attractive personality-wise to me, often mentioning how she was dom, and was into Japanese rock (She even could name a few bands, such as Dir En Grey). Anyway, she told me how her boyfriend was being an asshole to her, and I got disgusted. Then, one day, he breaks up with her. She came crying to me and I hugged her close. At the end of the day, she even kissed me cheek and I almost fainted on the spot. Then the next day, she decides to get with another guy, who was even more submissive than I am. I spend the rest of the semester being hurt, the pain getting worse as I hung out with her, and she always had her boyfriend with her and PDA'd in front of me, and she'd go on about the kinky sex she had. That both not only made me feel a little disgusted, but also lonelier, even to the point of suicide. Then, suddenly, she said she got pregnant and I got extremely worried about her. Then a little later, she said she got an abortion. Then later on, I found out she was only using me for attention, and that she in essence was a whore, and abusive. I sometimes saw her using her scars (From self harm) to threaten her boyfriend, and according to a friend of mine who was also used by her, she said the girl claimed to have a miscarriage, which proved she was lying about being pregnant in the first place for attention. Also, I then realised about all those times she bragged about how much sex she's had with different people, and I even found out she cheated on her current boyfriend. By then, I decided to cut that b*tch off and tell her off. So I went to her, and told her that I knew I was her tool for attention, and that I will not just let her make me feel lonely and suicidal, and that she doesn't have to deal with me anymore. She then smarted me off so I told her I knew she was cheating on her boyfriend, and both told me "So?". 
Now, I don't even mention her name if she comes up in a conversation. I just refer to her as "The Succubus", but honestly, that isn't even a good way to describe her, because Succubi are usually sexy xD. She just started looking uglier on the outside the more I realised how ugly she was on the inside. She actually does completely look different now, because she stopped dressing alternative and started wearing more normie makeup and clothing.  
The worst part about this though is that I spend the entire semester, being put into drama that you'd expect to be from underclassmen, being used by an underclassman. To put things in prespective, I'll be a Senior next August. I'm a junior, and yet I spent my entire first semester this year being used by a person younger than me, being brought into drama with people younger than me (She dragged me into drama with so many people... so many equally ugly on the inside people that she had drama with.) when I'm supposed to be more mature and adult in nature. I am a young adult and I let myself get used by a girl who was still stuck in her middle school scene phase.
 
So here I am now. I've grown from both experiences. IDK what my future holds for me relationship-wise, because, well, and I'm not downing myself when I say this, all the girls I find attractive at the moment won't date me. I live in a small town, and there are very few people who fit my needs in a relationship, so girls my type are very rare. The ones who are, well, I've had my chances with them. And honestly, people view me as the weird weeb kid who listens to only traditional Japanese music (AKA the person I was in middle school...) It would be nice to have a good, mature relationship, but that's not going to be for a long time.  But, I have more to life ahead of me than that. I'm on my way to become an adult, and I should enjoy life as a teenager while I still can

Bump (New shirt added)

because it's a rumour made up by the western fanbase.

I've heard he's bragged in interviews about stealing SEVERAL of Kyo's girlfriends. But I have no source, really.

"Reila is dedicated to Ruki's dead girlfriend"
 
"Of course my *insert name of slutty vk dude* isn't a manwhore. He would never sleep with his fans!"
 
"It's true, Tanuki said so"
 
"it's totally false, Tanuki ALWAYS lies, it's all made up by butthurt ugly fans"
 
"Noah would never do such a thing. It's all a conspiracy from butthurt fans" feel free to replace Noah with Kisaki. 
 
"Tsuzuku's mental illness is so cool and edgy"
 
"Meto is so handsome"
 
"Kisaki raped Asagi back in Syndrome" LMAO
 
"L'Arc en Ciel members are best friends, of course they want to tour together. They just do sideprojects for money"
 
"I have actually talked to the Gazette members on FB, for real"
(actually a friend is convinced Cazqui REALLY talks to her)
 
"His hair is pink/he wears slutty costumes, I am sure he is *manlier bandmember*'s bottom"

No one mentioned these people, who think vkei is big in Japan and they call the musicians celebrities 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

I know this was translated by someone long ago, but I can't find that anymore so I gave it a shot and did it myself. If anyone has any corrections/improvements just leave a reply^^

So all of these so called GazettE copycats are copies of a copy. 
Copyception.
*Black hole suddenly appears in the entire Vkei scene as we just did the Vkei equivalent of dividing by Zero*

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

Huh, well, from the previews, I'm also more excited for the A-side than the B-sides, which is odd for me because I tend to prefer their B-sides in general. Either way, still looking forward to more Kiryuu.

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

Early Kiryu is amazing. Shitakiri Suzume, Mugen Houyou, Ruru, Zetsu No Nozumu , Kisai , and Kyosei will always be their best tracks BY A LOOOONGGG shot.
 

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).
