Disbanding by Christmas 

^ DONT EVEN JOKE

i bet its gonna be "dick" or something.....this band cant Fool me anymore !

According to the members there's supposed to be something inside the brackets (meaning that it actually means something) what it is will be revealed at the tour final.

totally. develop one's faculties's oneman has four spaces in the quotes, but this is the whole tour! it's so wonderful. hoping by 2019 vk is just spaces and band names that are composed of emojis and unicode symbols that only display on like 10% of devices

I hope they will keep that name - and twitter - after reveal.

yikes! hope everything's OK. too many bad omens this year

Both that Vidoll and Dolly songs were my FAVs in the days of yore. Most people who were screaming about nu-metal tainting visual kei were mostly pointing fingers at what happened with DeG starting on Vulgar...
 
I think these bands got a pass because they will still "visual" as in "pretty". 
 
But yeah, this and oshare thread? Puts things in a perspective. Both trends were so hated by then, but they were much wider and more encompassing than it seemed back then?

bye~

coming late to the party (and with no video or band to offer, because I never listened much to oshare). I skimmed through the thread and found some really good stuff and gems. So thanks for making this thread, it's a really nice comp of decent to awesome stuff (since there was indeed a shitpile of crap in the oshare "scene" back of the day). Made it really easy for me to compile a wishlist of material I want to add to my music collection, ha.
 
I have to admit that because of the influx of rainbow colored, nyappy as hell bands I never gave groups from this corner of VK music a try. Mainly because I was one of those edgy mallgoth tryhards who only liked grimdark, gloomy and depressive shit and Oshare to me was pretty much the antithesis of that. Secondly, I also partake in the fad of hating on the music because that's what all the popular kids in VK "fandom" would do. And when the overall majority found that all oshare to be the absolute dreck, then it must have been true *rolleyes*
 
Obviously there was some atrocious stuff, but apparently also some good bands with great music I simply overlooked at that time due to ignorance. Then there was the thing with the oshare fans, who I always perceived as ape shit crazy. Like, even more annoying and crazy than your average Gazette and Dir en grey fan already were (and are). Their behaviour, noteworty from the an-cafe crowd, was absolutely off-putting. 
 
The only exceptions for me however were bands like Aicle. or Dollis Mary. The former may look like an oshare band (still, their style was pretty unique even for oshare standards) and their music is simply amazing (shame emiru doesn't continue Aicle's craziness in Yeti, which I feel are rather boring in comparison). The latter I never really perceived as Oshare. Maybe because they also worked a lot with Metis Gretel i viewed them more as a lighter and softer Kote band.
 
But I guess Shazna could fit the bill, as they are often mentioned to be the main influence, if not forefathers of the oshare style. I have to say because of my inclination towards softer, more upbeat and happier music I never looked much into 90s soft vkei  either as of recently. Shaza was probably the first band of this kind I started to listened to and since then (along with the help of recommendations of others) I have eased myself a little more into it.
 
 
Timeless classic 💕
 
And I am quite interested into the formation of oshare in the late 90s and early 00s. Which band influenced it or were the innovators? How developed a stream of soft visual into it? 

Being the late bloomer that I am I got familiar with them only last year, and I was never quite able to get over the first time of hearing this one ( the essential section is time stamped )
 
 
 
I know what you mean with the Dezert reference. When the PV song for the second album was realised my first thought was that this sounds like a nu metal aicle lolol. Actually a more apt comparison would be that Dezert occasionally sounds like early Kagerou from their demos to the first album, where they would have more unhinged riffs than the average lot.
 

Ahh hell yeah man. Lots of good stuff churned out during this period. One of my favorite tracks would be this one right here.
 


I might have listened to more of their discography, but I seriously don't remember. I do remember listening to this one track very heavily though. I remember when I first heard 'em, I called them the VK SOAD loll.

MUCC will be releasing a new full album on January 25th 2017. The album is set to have 14 tracks including, "Yue ni, Matenro", "Heide" and "CLASSIC."
Full track list and cover art TBA. Will come in 3 types, 2 limited editions and 1 common type (Type A: CD + DVD + Art Book, Type B: CD + DVD, and Type C: CD only).  

Sankei Sports put out an article where they claim a source close to the band claims it was on a drug crime charge

not unless it's SPILLED

yet again, undeniable proof that the devil's lettuce is bad for you

half of me is like “Uh Oh! Someone goof’d up!” and the other half is like “this genuinely sucks.” 2016 definitely hasn't been quiet for visual lol

yeah, read about HAZZE once! vk->non-vk is pretty common, but dunno how much i've seen of the other way around!
 
 
of course, important question is: did HAZZE also break countless panes of glass during their recording sessions
