key party one love!

Hey gurl

ehhh hello, my name is sybil ! i'm 22 and i'm from mtl, canada! 
 
I've been a vk fan since 2008 i think and after a few years of ups-and-downs, i can finally say I'm back ♫.
I got into vk through bands like gazette and ancafe but only became an actual fan when I got into malice mizer, moi dix mois and then later, Versailles.  I was in an "aristocrat"-ish phase back then lol.
Uhh through Versailles I got to discover Matenrou Opera, my absolute favorite band, and I've been following their activities since then (the good ol' indies days aaaah). 
My favorite bands are Matenrou Opera, Malice Mizer and I'm a fan of everything Satsuki (Rentrer En Soi, included). I need to say I love Baiser, Lareine and Metis Gretel, too...! ♥ (Also, I got into Acid Black Cherry this year and I'm a total fan.)
I'd say I'm an "old vk" fan because I pretty much adore anything cringey and kotekotekotekotekote (Key Party records ayyy) but I don't really like the "snobbish" elitist attitude that comes with it. My favorite band is not from the 90s/2000s and I've been getting more and more interested in new bands (which is why I decided to come on this forum and discover new sound). Bands like More, Arlequin and Gallo really sparked my curiosity and I'm really excited to see if I can find more bands like that.
 
ANYWAYS THAT WAS QUITE LONG SWEATS I'M SORRY 
i havent been on a forum in the longest time i hope i still have the gist of it 

.
 

I totally agree.
I feel like something "à l'Occidentale" like Versailles, Kaya or Lareine would've been fun. They kind of neglected that side of vk which gets a lot of people interested in the scene (through lolita/harajuku fashion) and is more familiar to people from the West. And then something darker,  good compositions... something from Rentrer En Soi, D'espairsRay or Deluhi.  Anyways, they  did say that there's many different sounds and vibes but it would've been cool if they had shown that in the video. 
 
Insanity Injection is kind of a new "old school vk" band so instead of showing Aliene Ma'riage (which would've gotten a similar reaction honestly, kyouka is fcked up), they showed something "actual" and that's good. Gazetto was a safe choice and DADAROMA's a pretty damn popular bangya-magnet so that's representative of a side of the scene.
 
I don't think the video's bad at all, though. We could argue for hours about what band they should've shown but at least they did choose bands that are undeniably "visual kei". And like some people said earlier in the thread, this kind of exposure's always cool. I don't think vk could ever become the next kpop (15 years old bts stans are not mentally prepared for this lmao) but if it can introduce the scene to people who would enjoy it, then that's great \o/

They look so lovely, my holy trinity !!!!
every year I read about the deep sanctuary lives i want to die................ so perfect rip I'd kill to go to one. They could make maaaad money if they released a DVD of this event, seriously.  
Also I had no idea yu~ki was the one who sang Transylvania, that's great!!!! ♥ 
 
It'd be great if Moi Dix Mois released a new album (not a remake of already perfect songs honestly)...

yay so happy ur on here beb! have fun :)))

Welcome to the forum! I miss RENTRER EN SOI myself! Hope you enjoy it here!

Hitomi is a Brett Anderson fanboy

ALSO he didn't ever say this, but he channels Gackt so hard it's not even funny. I mean he was a roadie for Malice Mizer and all. The costumes in Moran's 堕落へと続く偏愛の感触 PV look very similar to Malice Mizer's Le Ciel... The long ass white nails Gackt had? YUP HITOMI TOO

Since we're talking about HYDE's fanboys I can't not mention yasu from Acid Black Cherry (ex Janne Da Arc) and his kohai DAIGO from BREAKERZ.
Especially yasu who's really into HYDE since...ever. He admitted it in some interviews and lot of times in his blog.
Here's an old tv show where he's been teased about his being a fanboy.
He always dreamed about getting a purikura with his lovely idol and here, he got it.

Also he told that during an HALLOWEEN PARTY  that hyde likes to do almost every year, yasu had finally the chance to kiss kim (yeah, very lucky man) but unfortunately we don't have any pictures to as proof. But we gotta believe him and the audience of course.
Also here's a picture with him and DAIGO being good fanboys and wearing hyde's t-shirts.

 
Also we fans really have the impression that yasu likes to "copy" on purpose (more in a funny way not for lack of ideas) some hyde's styles as shown in Re:Birth and CRISIS pv's. Especially last one where is matter of fact that he's the same hair that hyde got on 2012 L'Arc En Ciel live.
 
Also since hyde knows well about his 2 fanboy he thought about making them a surprise (mostly for us because of course they knew) and appearing during theyr Acid BREAKERZ Cherry 5th Anniversay 69-sixnine- live.

During the MC DAIGO took his mobile to shoot a pic of the audience and said to his sempai "Look, yasu-san! There is an unexpected appearance of god in the photo!"  (They likes to address hyde as "God", infact almost every January, on hyde birthday, they wish Merry Christmas each other on twitter). And it was hyde.
The he got on stage and they sang all three together the 2nd ABC single song "Black Cherry". 
Here a short video of the performance

 
Quite a story, isn'it?

They look so lovely, my holy trinity !!!!
