If there was actually a total weight limit to be considered a vk band that would be a pretty funny explanation of members leaving all the time 

Edited my post to clarify that the weight is the total amount of all the members 😂😂😂 had a good laugh tho!

I don't think it's physically possible to take a cute fan photo with Ryutarou, all you can get is what looks like a cranky Asian emo who got mistaken for an L cosplayer at the mall posing with you because he's too shy to say no

 

New music (another mini LP, third in a row), new look, same old lezzies. :)

You always want beauty, envy, and exclusive love that can last forever.
The desire is boundless...
You should look at the selfish greed in your dreamy heart.
 
You always want beauty, envy, and exclusive love that can last forever.
But the gaze will change into pain before long.
The prayer is merely a form...
 
かさねあわせ た てのひら から むすう の ゆめ が
 
Spark is shining into the eyes
ひかり あふれ からだ を つつむ けれど
Do wished melt away ?
こよい かぎり の ゆめ
 
だれか らも あいされたい
「しせん を ください」
つめたい その まなざし
 
この まま しせん の うず おぼれて
あなた と おどり たい の
だけど みた されず に よあけ わ
ちかずき とき わ ながれて
 
ほら かんき の こえ で あなた を
だきし めたい ても えがお の なか に
ひそん だ かげ
えいえん の ねがった こころ わ め を
そむけ ている はかない ゆめ と きず
かない よう に
 
まほう よ まほう この じかん を えいえん に して
 
Please don't leave me alone
ずよく だいて ともしび が きえ ない よう に
Even if it's a lie... ずっと こうして いたい。。。
 
かざる わたし の すべて を
「みつめて ください」
ゆめ の よう なこ の しゅんかん に
だれか らも あいされたい
「しせん を ください」
つめたい その まなざし
 
この まま しせん の うず おぼれて
あなた と おどり たい の
だけど みた されず に よあけ わ
ちかずき とき わ ながれて
 
この まま しせん の うず おぼれて
あなた と おどり たい の
まちじゅう の どけい くる わせて おくよ
だから こにゃ わ そば に いさせて。。。

Oh wow. That song is really good.

A 卍 band I've been listening recently to is marry an blood. They didn't have the aesthetic going on all the time though, and it was mostly the singer who wore the uniform.

Also UnsraW had the nazi thing going on with all the members for a while.

The staff has seen this topic and have decided to let it stay open. For now.

Visual kei has taken inspiration from Nazi-era symbolism time and time again, for better or for worse. To ignore that would be feigning ignorance. We see no harm in simple discussion of the bands and the (very small) scene related to that. We have had similar topics in the past with no repercussions. However, the current era and political climate is a different story. Discussion on this topic may or may not be possible.
 
We will end up locking this topic if it proves to be a breeding ground for incels on the forum.

btw i  sent screenshots of all the posts ITT to your employers  hope they'll think twice about hiring nazi supporters x

I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetic either way because of the implications (no matter how much Mein Kampf writes songs about driving fast and no matter how much Rommel writes songs about zombies), but I find Rommel to be the best band from a musical point of view because they had Shu who is an amazing technical guitarist. 
 
(Although I hope that it doesn't need to be said, I would like to say that I'm not a Nazi, nor do I sympathise with the Nazi cause. As far as I know, these bands used the Nazi image for edgy shock value, not because they supported a genocide.)

Hard to choose as I really like them all but I picked Rommel, been listening to them a lot Lately.

I used a manji sign with the swastika to the left as opposed to the right which the Nazis used, but the question still stands. I personally can't pick between ROSENFELD, MEIN KAMPF and DANGERZONE.

make Vk porn thread great again!
 
Ok. I just watched the "sample" from the golden bomber one and I thought themed av was anime characters only. It remained me old gender bender fanfics
Thank you all
 

Crow's demo tape before they became Kagrra is absolutely up there as some of the best music i've heard from that era

Hello everyone!
I'm staying in Tokyo for a year and if you need something from Japan Iet me know! 
I can also help with searching for more rare stuff 😊

A lot can be said, positive and negative about the legacy of MALICE MIZER, whether it's the abrupt departure of Tetsu after just one year, the GACKT years, the untimely death of Kami or the rise and fall in the Klaha years. There's no better way to understand how MALICE MIZER went from unknown to legends of Visual Kei than to start in the beginning.
 
In the Beginning: The Era of Tetsu

 
MALICE MIZER was formed in August of 1992 when former guitarist of Matenrou, Közi joined forces with the support bassist Mana and the two recruited the former Ner-vous vocalist Tetsu, former ZE:RO bassist Yu~ki and former DATURA (not to be confused with DatuRΛ) drummer Gaz to form MALICE MIZER (a postmanteau of Malice and Misery) with a concept based on the darker side of human nature. MALICE MIZER immediately began activities and released their first demo tape SANS LOGIQUE which had foregone vocals and released Speed of Desperate on the compilation album Brain Trash which featured acts such as ALUCARD, DIE=KÜSSE, THE PIASS and Gazelle. Shortly after Brain TRASH, Gaz departed and Kami joined; Kami being the only other drummer for the band until his untimely death. MALICE MIZER released a few more demos before releasing their debut album memoire on Mana's newly founded label Midi:Nette. Tetsu then left the band at the end of 1994 with a live performance titled Cher de memoire II on December 27th.
 
Taking a Different Route: It's Gackt Time

 
MALICE MIZER went into 1995 without a vocalist, but they didn't let it stop their surge as they performed without a vocalist for a sponsored event titled Dai Goya Higeki no Bansan Vol.5 (第五夜 悲劇の晩餐 Vol.5) before Gackt officially joined the band as the new vocalist with his first performance on October 10th Karei naru Fukkatsugeki. The music of MALICE MIZER took a drastic turn and was the catalyst for the rise of Gackt as a performer and set the stage for his continued success after leaving the band as the band went from a Gothic sound to a more upbeat sound; something that became a signature of Gackt's solo career. In 1996 MALICE MIZER released their second album Voyage sans retour and underwent a nationwide one-man tour culminating in a show titled Sans retour Voyage deux 1996. MALICE MIZER continued their stride in 1997 when they signed a contract with major label Nippon Columbia, a subsidiary of Columbia Music Company as well as undergoing a sold-out nationwide tour with STANDING TOUR '97 Pays de merveilles ~空白の瞬間の中で~ and a regularly broadcast radio show MALICE MIZER no Mayonaka no s'il vous plaît on CBC Radio. Merveilles, MALICE MIZER's third album and second featuring Gackt as vocalist is released in March of 1998, the band announced merveilles ~Shuuen to kisuu~ in which the tickets sold out in just two minutes as well as undergoing a new radio show MALICE MIZER no shisetsu hisho no chojutsu on Chiba's renowned bay-fm radio station. However, things would take a turn when in January Gackt decided to leave the band at the peak of their popularity to form own solo project that he continues to this day, simply called GACKT featuring a backing band appropriately titled GACKTJOB. 
 
As if losing their vocalist wasn't bad enough tragedy struck when in June beloved drummer Kami passed away suddenly from a subarachnoid hemorrhage, more commonly referred to as a brain hemorrhage. With the world crashing down around his shoulders, Mana underwent damage control and returned MALICE MIZER to his own label. Malice Mizer went on to release one song after Gackt left, a piano song called Saikai no Chi to Bara. Little did they know that their fortunes were about to change as their savior was right around the corner.
 
From Rebirth to Climax: The Year of Klaha

 
PRIDE OF MIND former vocalist Klaha joined MALICE MIZER on vocals on August 31st and would be the third and final vocalist for the group. MALICE MIZER proceeded to get back to making music right away with the release of their fourth and final album Bara no Seidou and Klaha had his first live performance one week later with Bara ni irodorareta akui to higeki no makuake - Dai icihiya saikai no bara. Sadly, nothing lasts forever and after several singles, a feature length, albeit silent film Bara no Konrei ~Mayonaka ni Kawashita Yakusoku~ and even a concert DVD in 2001, MALICE MIZER went on an indefinite hiatus at the end of the year. Each member releasing their own respective personal messages regarding the hiatus on the bands official website.
 
Post Mortem: An Uncertain Future

 
After MALICE MIZER went on an indefinite hiatus the respective members were quick to move on to other projects, except for Yu~ki who's only activity since the hiatus was contributing to a song on Közi's solo project. The aforementioned Közi went on to be in a managare of bands, first with HARUHIKO ASH in Eve of Destiny, then started a solo project as well as XA-VAT, ZIZ, VAMQUET and joined Ryo from 9Goats Black Out to form a nu-goth band called DĂLLE. Mana quickly formed his own solo project that is still running strong today called Moi dix Mois and launched his own fashion label Moi-même-Moitie as well as becoming a producer for the band Schwarz Stein and cellist Kanon Wakeshima. Tetsu formed several bands of varying styles of music after leaving MALICE MIZER with the most notable being ZIGZO and Nil. Gackt has been active as a solo artist since leaving MALICE MIZER and subsequently ventured into film and television while Klaha released a solo mini-album and full length album before disappearing from the scene in 2004, not to be heard from again.
 
MALICE MIZER may be no more, but the pieces have come together several times since the hiatus, Közi joining Mana's Moi dix Mois in 2008 at Dis Inferno Vol.VI ~Last Year Party~ and again in 2009 for a two stop tour Deep Sanctuary; Deep Sanctuary becoming a staple event for Moi dix Mois from then on. Moi dix Mois and Közi went on another, longer tour in 2010, six shows aptly named Deep Sanctuary II which featured the return of Yu~ki on bass; the three reuniting on stage for the first time in nine years. The show featured MALICE MIZER classics such as Saikai no Chi to Bara and Beast of Blood as well as a cover of shock rocker Rob Zombie's What Lurks on Channel X. Moi dix Mois then held a tenth anniversary concert Le dixieme anniversaire Live 2011~2012　~Tetsugaku no Hahen Dainana Shou Shinen naru Seiiki Deep Sanctuary III~ which saw Közi performing with his new band ZIZ with Yu~ki returning on bass. Sadly the original drummer Gaz passed away on December 22nd 2017, one year before the bands 25th anniversary and the subsequent reunion show last year Deep Sanctuary Ⅵ MALICE MIZER 25th Anniversary Special which featured the return of the trio as well as former roadies for the band performing their own renditions of classic songs, such as former LAREINE vocalist KAMIJO joining for his own take on the Gackt era songs APRES MIDI and Bel Air ~Kuuhaku no Shunkan no Naka De~, cali≠gari's Shuuji with a riff on the Tetsu era's Kioku to Sora and ILLUMINATI as well as Moran former vocalist Hitomi with Gackt's Madrigal and N.p.s.N.g.s. The show featured ZIZ and Moi dix Mois performing their own songs and MALICE MIZER covers with the show ended with a tribute to the departed Kami and all of the guest vocalists singing together for Ma chérie ~Itoshii Kimi E~.
 
There have been teases for years and the band have come back in several shapes, but whether they will return with the likes of any of their three former vocalists is unlikely or at best up in the air with all of them seemingly content with their careers and lives and consider MALICE MIZER a part of their past. The future of MALICE MIZER is uncertain, but it's safe to say that the Visual Kei scene would be shaken to the core if the stars aligned and the malice and misery rose like a phoenix for a second time.

-A huge thanks to @inartisticand the great team over at vk.gy for a wealth of information that without, this would not have been possible.
 

The Gallo have a line in one of their songs about 'spitting on the peace the Allies fabricated', and in general they seem to use WWII imagery in quite a lot of their songs, either as metaphors or straight up singing about raping Chinese women etc.
I have no clue as to what the members' actual political views are behind the scenes and to be quite honest I don't even really care. I generally don't invest in musicians' personal lives outside of their work at all, they can do whatever they want for all I care, I don't even know what half the people I listen to look like lmao

And, I'm quite happy with final selection as I personally voted for 5 or 6 of those tracks myself. I'm surprised fukai mori and mou 2doto came up at the top as those are some of my favorites after sleep.


 

first, any dasein pv.
second, this: 
 

Tinnitus has been with me for two years now. It's not getting worse, so I don't fucking care about it anymore. I have other health issues to worry about though.

So... recently, I've been diagnosed with slight autism (Asperger's syndrome). I read quickly some of the comments before writing my own and was surprised, since there are more autists here than I expected. Good to know that I'm (we're) not alone.

Hey, this'll probably be a long shot, but I was wondering if any kind soul would be able to translate the lyrics to this one? Thanks in advance to anyone who'd be willing to try

Japan doesnt give a flying fuck about pedophilia or woman's rights, we are just baby machines and cleaners to the great nippon man uguu// 
I can say this cuz my father abused me and i prefered to get the money cuz is too much of a efford, also the woman is a filthy bitch and a whore for cheating on her husband and let that rat faced clown abuse her daughter for so long, she probably is also a gold digger and the father is a cuck.
Poor brat, i bet  her whore mom soon will be with another asshole and it will start over again.

i used to rp yomi like 10 years ago, but it was on russian social network, as far as i can remember tumblr became a thing in russia a bit later. it was fun! i found the whole band there and on april fools we changed our profiles to sendai kamotsu and posted something stupid w
tbh i couldn't accept for a long time when the whole rp thing faded away, but now i understand that what i really couldn't embrace that the whole community i felt myself part of broke up, people moved on and changed their interests. rather then rp i miss times when vk was more popular〜
