Willen

Hi there～
 
My name is Willen, I'm a 20yo guy from Paris. I'm a visual kei fan since 2008, when I discovered SuG. Since then, they have always been my favorite band and have opened me to a musical universe that has changed my life. Of course, I'm a big fan of pop/rock bands like BugLug, LM.C, Kra, ZORO, An Cafe, DOG inThePWO, ν[NEU]... but I also like regular visual kei bands like BORN, A9, the GazettE, ViViD... (that's a lot of PSC bands but these are part of my favorites). Beside that, I listen to a lot of pop music especially gay icons like Madonna, Mylène Farmer, Lady Gaga...
 
I'm still very open in music. Music is my true passion, I'll forever support it. I hate digital music (even if it's practical), I spend all my money in buying vinyls and CDs. In terms of visual kei, I have a huge SuG collection! If some of you are fans, you may know my fansite sagudesu and my Facebook page SuG Worldwide Community! I'm going to make my first trip to Japan this summer, out of love for visual kei. I already have my FC ticket for SuG's 10th Anniversary show at Nippon Budokan, I'm so excited!
 
To be honest, I already had an account there but with just a few useless posts and I wanted to make a fresh start because I really want to share with other visual kei fans. The situation of this movement that I love deeply makes me sad. In my opinion, people are too negative and should spend more time supporting groups they like rather than criticizing groups that are trying to succeed despite the decline of visual kei. You know, my favorite artists are often the most hated and I find it unfair. I used to be ashamed of my tastes because of this musical elitism but now I assume totally because it's simply the music that makes me happy.
 
Nice to meet you!

I wish I could listen to their first EP. There is no way to buy their music and I find it very unfair. They could at least put their music on iTunes or sell the CD in regular outlets...

>"The members of the band will listen to your pain, your worries, displeasure and anxiety..."
 
omg are they gonna set-up a pay-per-call hotline for troubled gya as a next step from host side-jobs/dating for money

I thought there were suddenly many Pentagon fans getting excited for the release but I got disappointed xD 

Thank you xriko!
 
I get your point but my presentation do not mention the fact that I'm always listening to new vk bands, especially since 2 years. I didn't mention a lot of indie bands because most of my favorites had a short career and disbanded, and the new ones I listen to are too recent for me to mention them in a presentation topic! Recently, I'm very interested in some bands like Zombie, DADAROMA, Purple Stone, Pentagon, Kuroyuri to Kage and REIGN. I'm always excited to discover new bands, or the oldest ones I have never listened to. I've always been very oshare kei-oriented but since 2 or 3 years I'm very interested in darker bands cause I'm looking for heavier rock!

It seems that the design was made by a member of the band (I think it's Ko-ki?)
 
This thread is funny but in my opinion, there are definitely more horrible covers than beautiful ones hahaha 
 
Here is my selection:
 
ALiBi – ЯOCK★STAR (2009)
 

 
Anli Pollicino – Fahrenheit 31 (2009)
 

 
Awake – ★Heavy★Decorationz★Party★ (2012)
 

 
BORN – オルタナティヴ・タランチュラ (2015)
 

 
DOG inThePWO – ミラクルSUPER超DX (2012)
 

 
Kra – Life～Today is a very good day to Die～ (2009)
 

 
SCREW – Brilliant (2016)
 

 
カメレオ (Kameleo) – KAMENICATION！(2016)
 

 
You're welcome...

Thank you!
 
 
Actually, I listen to many indie groups and I spend my time looking for new bands to discover. In these times of crisis in visual kei, I have never been so open to new groups. I quoted a lot of big bands because they remain my favorites, I've been listening to them for years. But recently I made a lot of cool discoveries!
