merchenticneurosis

I'd give this a solid 8/10

 

終焉 - Great ominous intro

XXXX - Not much has changed, the chaos doesn't sound as cool as intended 

眩暈 - The gud stuff

『　』- Why did they have to muffle the vocals in to a total blur? The original is like 100x better. Album remixes should be up, not downgrades.

死枷 - It's like "Hey we're just starting out in Sapporo and want to experiment everything in one song."Also some DISABLED COMPLEXES parts or i might be delusional, but whatever.

薄紅ノ葬 - Sure is pretty! Sentimental song for smoking at my porch

淫虐の理 - Really do love this song, Miria showcasing his best work. Atleast with headphones it sounds a bit more clean than the last single's version

ディスレクシア - Drowning goths-syndrome again with the vocals mixing, otherwise perfect.

悲哀囀ル調ベ - Wonderful, wondering if they're releasing a video for this one

Secret Moon - No words needed

緋い縷 - A little repetitive with the chorus on the end side but probably the albums true gem highlight

絶望郷 - Very boring, they have songs like these already, so nothing new to the table. A big miss

輪廻 - I LIVE for the creaking door sound at the end

 

 

I've wondered his motives to stay in the band for some time. I think he talked about wanting to do other things before... He writes all the best songs tho so i'm a little concerned for the replacement, if such will appear. 

Hmm.

 

Dir en grey was the start of everything at age 13.

After that it's all been a downhill:

 

Occasional obsessions between the years:

 

愛狂います

キス＆ネイト

新興宗教楽団NoGoD

random vk bands i thought were cool because of photoshop

 

After ventured in to the abyss nowadays i "pretty much only" listen to kote-kei, or bands with a "darker atmosphere".

 

All-time faves/highlights that will never-die:

 

Madeth gray'll, 弥叉, AZALEA, Lamina, Sugar Folkfull, Saruin, Metis Gretel, CANARY, Madieduor/Vallquar, Dollis Marry, NEGA, パニックちゃんねる, Marderayla, early Merry,  Marusa, Hannya, Kagerou, early 12012, everything HIRO ever did: Visage, gossip, Varyll, not sure about Verxina (sorry!), VanessA, SCISSOR, Ru:natic, Puppet Mammy, Misery, MADARA, GULLET, GHOST and the list goes on...

The "help" still seems to support him tho. Idk what the tweet is about tho.

Just found this picture from my old phone. : D

 

 

It's me cosplaying as Hisui (Madeth Gray'll) and my boyfriend cosplaying as Kon (La'Mule).

(We look super serious but actually we were cracking up all day.)

Still have to bring this one UP! Like literally wtf, this is so beautiful and amazing. Thank you.

Anyone have any idea how to get ahold of these DVDs? Haven't seen any in auctions either.

They were so beautiful, ugh.

I leave you an audio fragment of one of his last concerts, in case someone is interested.
Among other songs, "Tragedy Night of Restraint" appears, which will be included in the new CD.

 

 

Charisma Kijin and Kei together with Taji (ARTiCLEAR) with the look of the concert on January 25th.

Kijin always somehow looks superfresh and radiant even with heavier goth makeup tbh 🤔

Hope to find the single later sold somewhere!

Horrible spot.

Love them, METEOR is such a good minialbum.

Shitty year, good jamz

Omg lol, i wonder how many of AvelCain fangirls will actually fall for this shit? VK really is dead.

Damn, that's ugly.

Really interested in the GARDEN DVD despite the child molesters dirty karma.

i actually remember listening to some stuff by Musta Paraati at some point and enjoying it, have never heard of the other one before though, will have to look into 'em too!

These guys are bomb, too! A little shabby quality but meh.

just dropping in to say that 2nd band kicks ass

Yep, one of my faves! Also gorgeous Finnish post-punk bands are Musta Paraati and Kuudes Tunti, available on Youtube  

Hey guys! Really wanted to create this topic since me and a bunch of friends have came to the conclusion that local "ordinary" (non-vk) rock music has alot of various visual kei elements and sounds. One of the main reasons are that Finnish and Japanese are pronounced pretty similarly (same as theyre written)

Tell me what you think, i'm posting the links/comparions down below!

 

To start off, here we have some MUCC vibes! The first song has some Tatsurou vocals for sure and i think if this would be

switched to japanese it could also be nagoya kei or so, lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following up, we have some Kagerou. We even have the infamous "PRRRRRR"-sound in the middle, brings me old Vidoll or Puppet Mammy to mind.

Kuolleet Intiaanit is disbanded art rock band that never gave any interviews and their liveshows were kind of "theatre" or cabaret-esque.

Following songs are translated as "in the middle of the fire" and "nightmare...?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next we have some local pop/rock singer which the elder people are fond of. This is so LAREINE for me, tbh.

Prove me wrong, he's even sitting on a piano and got da moves right.

 

 

 

 

This i can't pinpoint in any way to a specific band since it's like pop-punk rock but the opening guitar solo could be a banger for a vk song.

 

 

 

There are many more but i will try to update this once i actually find the songs & comparisons, lol. 

Opinions are appreciated!

Lol, FIXER gone, these guys pausing, what else? Running out of bands.

Wow, they really are growing. Love the cover. Also, FECES??  😱

I'm always rooting for them but i think i'm done purchasing anything (atleast through the internet) since the prices mirroring the quality x amount stuff you get is not really mindblowing. Sell your butts on the street or something, so we can get a little more quality.

2019 let's go!

Is this really the same Mamireta that released Tabetai etc? Confused.

Sooo he is literally going through all the different kei's with his release campaign... Is this the Rentrer En Soi-era?

Beautiful artwork. Haven't kept up with them for a long time, maybe i need to hop on it now.
