This has probably been asked, but can anyone name VK bands that got better towards the end of their career? (Not counting bands that were only active for like 2 years)
I'm trying to honestly assess if I have an everlasting nostalgia hard-on, or if bands just tend to lose that youthful passion they needed to once prove themselves once they've already made it. With literally every longer-lasting VK band I like, I favor their earlier/first releases (Versailles, Vidoll, Matenrou Opera, Mucc, Nightmare, Kagrra,, 12012, Ayabie, Miyavi, blah blah).
I feel like the GazettE might get mentioned, and I fucked with them for the most part until DIM, but as I get older I find myself caring less about their high-budget modern metal sound (which they continue to pursue, arguably quite well?) in favor of many of their early recordings that may have been slightly rough around the edges in some way, but oozed with passion and desperation. This all despite the fact I discovered GazettE around the stacked rubbish area and didn't care for much before it until many years after.
Thoughts????? DO bands ever get good™ again??

a video tradeoff sounds really interesting. same concept as the standard mix tradeoff, but your mix is made up of music-related video clips. can be all music videos, or all live bootlegs, or all pro-shot, or anything in between. definitely might take a bit more effort, but I really like the idea of trying to make a consistent theme across a bunch of clips

after listening to them since I was like 9, I saw Symphony X today. super satisfying. russell allen was nothing but good vibes

As @Ada Suilen mentioned, Utakata for sure! Shiki and Shiroi Uso are some pretty sad songs as well.

@lichtlune That song makes me Nostalgic of listening to Cure's short-lived online radio station in 2009 (curemediausa.com). The DJ (was his name Shion?) wasn't shy about his taste and would basically play DELUHI, ALSDEAD, アンド and similar bands over and over again.
That was an exciting time and it really felt like those bands were all going to blow up in popularity..

Any diehard fans know what G.A.L.D. or F.T.O. stand for? I've just noticed I never really tried to figure it out
-
F.T.O. = fight the order
G.A.L.D. = giving all love dearly
these are just my best guesses-
