Well that's my explanation. I'm not interested because he is not Japanese.
I'm only interested in Japanese bands with Japanese vocalist. vocal need to be Japanese.
I cannot fathom why this would be a mystery to anyone who has listened to a couple of tracks worth of Seremedy. A bum garage band of the worst order, with an exceptionally untalented vocalist whose ability leaves a lot to be desired even in a scene that takes a lot of liberties with the musical orthodoxy. Yohio also happens to be a rat-faced knacker with a receding hairline and daddy's label connections, so hating him as a jest on the web is not very laborious for anyone. Having partook in Eurovision doesn't help either among anyone who's over the age of 12 or has any taste. I'm just saying doe, because personally I'd switch places with him any day of the week and live out the weeaboo dream.
The reception to Disreign on this site on the other hand has been largely positive actually? Yohio has to literally be the only western bandman who has any real ( or even moderate for that matter ) knowledge of visual kei and it fucking shows, because they must be the only western visual kei band that actually sounds legitimately like visual kei. I can't hate that and spare his awkward sounding Japanese I can vibe to Disreign. Off the top of my head I can name like three to four users here who don't hate Disreign and zero who do, although I'm sure some exist.
Not being confrontational, but I have to say I'm not buying you not being a fan or at least invested to the scene over there somehow. You could have just search yohio on the forum and you would have found multiple answers by people who like and don't like him, and then some. Instead you registered for this solitary question come on man
I've just never been interested. Hard to explain why, but since I've been into japanese vk bands for so long I don't seem to get the point why I should get into swedish/or whatever it might be vk bands.
I never liked Seremedy, just because they came off amateur for me. From what I remember of Yohio's solo stuff it was pretty pop oriented, but I probably didn't give it much chance because alll I knew him from was Seremedy, however, I really like Disreign. It actually sounds professional, and even though the Gazette worship is real, its still pretty good Gazeworship imo.
