X Japan didn't start VK (minus hide) idc what anyone says no one actually sounds like X while everyone sounds like bands that were around during the time like DEAD END or D'ERLANGER lol I actually bring this up frequently 

I really want a KRADxMALISEND collaboration after reading this lol

im as shook over shoxx as i am over brangelina...mega shook

quite possibly the best picture me and roji have ever taken together

they should come back as SHOOKX, a dickpic e-zine with bandomen phone number store and licensed bodypillows printed on-demand.
 
first issue with yoshiki's limp peen on cover (and an itunes coupon for the new X Japan album)

there's something inherently tragic in going out with a sug final cover

why i can't move on
i still like KISAKI PROJECT Feat Jui
LOL !

bitch no we have his ameyasame and session lives to attend instead!!

this is obviously a downgrade in Hitomi's otherwise flawless career but let's be real, it's one dinosaur helping another
 

this will be hitomi's artpop...we have to let the queen of slay flop once...

hitomi's doing this for the lulz don't worry friends! the icon of legitimate artistry received an intense...financial sum...to help...a dinosaur with his solo project.

Yukika could snatch this up and make a kuroyume rip-off band without any legal ramifications!!

Update 2 weeks later: Kiyoharu Found Dead in Roppongi

There's no free lunch, guys. The bidding winner is also buying a quite big ammount of million yens in overdue taxes, 100% certain

yeah im not a fan of the no talking trope. mana was the only one to pull it off well, he had a really strong ego and sense of personality and it spoke for him. meto is so fuckin wild i desperately want to hear whats going through his head LOL.
minpha however....just no

I think it only works with Meto because he's the "weird character" in Mejibray. Got to have an overall aura of mysteriousness otherwise you just come across as Joe Dumbass who has nothing to say imo

The string of band members who have the 'no talkie' schtick. It's less that I hate it, because sometimes I'm cool with it (like shamelessly, I think Meto does it well), but then I keep seeing it and sometimes it just either feels unnecessary or like they don't really have enough personality sans voice to pull it off. It's less that I can't stand them and more that I sometimes go 'why?'

I'm not sure how to explain it but I feel like VK has a problem with  choruses. So often I hear songs that sound amazing only to be ruined by a boring chorus that doesn't seem to organically connect with the rest of the song, sounds uncharacteristically happy like an explosion of kittens and rainbows in musical form or is just bland and lacks the kind of punch you would expect from a chorus. Then when it's time to go back to the verses, the transition is all awkward. To me, the verses and bridge are usually more memorable than the choruses and I only seem to have this experience with VK. When I listen to a new song and it's shaping up to be a good one, I always have this concern that they'll go for this type of chorus and ruin everything and more often than not I am right. A good example of this would be SCAPEGOAT - 幼女A~Hide and Seek~ . Their Nemurenai something song is the same. It's frustrating to have everything in a song work except the chorus.

Please lock this if there's already a thread like this, I didn't notice one.
 
This thread is for things that come up often in visual kei that you personally can't stand. Can be related to the music itself, fashion, song names, artist names, whatever.
 
For me, it's whispering. It just sounds so weird to me, it's usually some heavy djent-like rhythm with the vocalist whispering over it, it doesn't feel like it fits. Also, when a vocalist is a really good singer but a bad screamer, and the band still does entire songs where he does nothing but scream. Like, you should know your strengths and weaknesses (；´Д｀) I usually skip those unless there's some amazing guitar work or something.

Honestly imo you have to be a certain type of crazy to accept VK especially those indiefag bands lol I have vkei bandmen friends and they also say that most people that have their arms open to vk are crazy. I mean compare vk lyrics and visuals to kpop... Vk is and never was meant to be super popular.

doesn't this just confirm vk will never become the next kpop?? if people are leaving this small scene to join a bigger, already popular one?
 
i agree with@doomboxsaying "they didn't want this video to make VK some viral new thing" because let's face it, VK will never be some viral new thing. it'll never evolve like kpop did nor will it appeal to as many people as kpop does for various reasons already mentioned (which i'm totally fine with tbh, i'm not a hipster or anything but having vk mainstream, especially in the western world, would be weird as hell)
