For my dears

cali≠gari will release their new album titled "13" on 2017/05/10 in 2 versions: limited "Kyoushin-ban" CD+Blu-ray edition (￥6,000+tax) and regular "Ryoushin-ban" CD-only edition (￥3,000+tax). The limited bonus Blu-ray will feature scenes from the album's recording and various offshot footage. Also, the "Kyoushin-ban" cover art will be done by mangaka Maya Mineo (apparently known for classic shoujo and BL style manga).
 
They will also hold their Japan tour "cali≠gari △15th Caliversary”2002-2017″ TOUR 13 -Hell is other people-" from June 3 to July 22.
 

Thanks for the warm welcome! I would for sure recommend Edvard Grieg's piece 'Peer Gynt', anything by Franz Liszt (amazing pianist!), and maybe you'll like Mendelssohn's 'A midsummer night's dream'.

Sleepy kei? Sleep is good, sounds like my kinda band.

10+ years looks good in my book, as it separates you from the rest.
 
I'm curious to hear about your classical music preferences in more detail.
Any recommendations as far as romantic pieces from your favorite composers?
 
Welcome to the site.

Welcome! I'm still a baby when it comes to listening to visual kei myself, about half the years of you XD. Sweet profile pic btw, Missalina Rei were gods.

so, I really hate introductions but oh well here we go...

I've been into vk/ japanese rock for like 11 years now and thanks to that I've been able to meet some very nice people! I couldn't list my favorite bands or anything because there's so much stuff I love it but some very special bands for me are deadman, Vasalla, S, Malice Mizer and Madeth gray'll. But I listen to all kinds of music really, apart from the japanese stuff I like metal, some ambient music, lots of soundtracks from movies and games like Silent Hill, and I also love romantic classical music, you know, guys like Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Paganini, Chopin and the list goes on... I also like jazz/fusion and guitar-oriented instrumental music a lot but I guess this isn't really the place to talk about that. lol Anyway, nice to meet you all.

I can't connect with most fans because of what you mentioned above. I hate it because I truly want more J-rock/vk friends, but 9 times out of 10 when I try to initiate a conversation, it ends up being about Dadaroma and such. I'm not so much of a vk oldfag that I shun all newer bands--there are actually quite a few that I like, they're just the few that most fans don't bother checking out because they don't look like Gazette or Mejibray or whoever else. Like, there are so many other bands out there. Be more open-minded. I understand having a preference but I also don't get why people always stick to the same few without exploring anything else unless it's a carbon copy of what they like. Idk, maybe I'm just getting old.

Hi! Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll like it here, have fun!
 

Hii welcome! I hope you enjoy the forum. Have fun around, I hope to see you post

Malice Mizer for lifeeeeee.
 
Welcome.

Were you on last.fm ever? I'd probably recognise you since there aren't that many Madeth enthusiasts around. Either way, welcome
 
Also I thought 11 year sounded ancient at first, but then I realised I'm clocking in 11 years as well...

It's nice to see you around again!

I love this song and listen to it damn near everyday, multiple times. Especially now that I'm trying to tab it.
