    I feel the same :( i always love the "kotekote bands" that makes me feel so "😍🌊" and the most of them the singer is pretty "bad" hahaha seriously o love that, they sing with all their feelings (and without tone) but it's makes me love them more ❤️ 

    Really want he start a new project with ALL KOTEKOTE STYLE ❤️ 

     

    Crucifixion x Hikari x La'veil Mizeria, fucking ikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ❤️

    I want ANYTHING from him, tbh. Madieduor x Vallquar instrumentally are one of my fave "kote kei sounds" to this day. Organically Hikari's vocals are not good, but i don't think Kikyo sings very purely or even to the "ohhhhh my pussy has been destroyed"-level. It's not about that, i always find the mood and the overall arrangement to be what makes me enjoy it. OKAY i said, i'm never looking for perfect vocals. 

     

    Fuck the preview would be amazing for Mizeria, though. Maybe too fast and "ridiculous" for their style, i think. Hikari always has the touch for making palpitating sounds. But God, please, if you listen to something like Madieuor's "Paradoxical DEATHTRAP", i'm pooping my pants everytime. So good.

     

    Hikari, please form a band and join a label or create your own. I miss your creativity!

    Also i want to point out the etiquette/culture of vk lives, i always do weird fucking stuff and imitate the vocalist when listening to songs when i'm alone or with friends, but at japanese lives you're supposed to be quiet, respectful, just listen, don't you dare make a scene out of yourself :D I really do understand that, and i'd rather concentrate on the band than some lunatic raving his own stuff like in the western concerts, lol. It works wonderfully like that and the contrast between japanese and western gigs is very big.

    1. synchronized spinning at the chorus of a song

    2. charmismatic bandmen

    3. edgy depressive lyrics and mid-song monologues

    4. vocalists that are so bad they're good

    5. "wtf were they smoking" genre mashups

    Omg this! Definetely synchronized spinning and hand movements, tapping the hands, looking either left/right insanely with tongue out, haha :P 

    Everything is so very thought-out, and "flawless" in my eyes in some sense. Also epic guitar solos and and the hand opening/closing furis to the person who's playing. Crucifixion was such a effortless and beyond example of all these things as a band, my soul was aching just to watch their art.

    I'm not in any way against new bands or the neo kei-sound, but it feels soulless and empty for me. Lyrics feel like trash and basic aishiteru-shit is just useless for me... I think there were better and interesting new bands and sounds until 2012-2013, or about so. I'm rooting and hoping with my heart for the good future of vk, but i also very openly wish for the honest revival of 90's sound and older bands. Even i wouldn't mind some bands copying bands in existence. *cough cough* 

    We had some of those already.

     

    Obviously the world is spinning and so is the world of vk, so we need to accept certain facts. Nevertheless we all have our desires and dreams with every genre :P 

    The kind of metal scene is pretty properly represented atm, imo. Bands like DIMLIM and SARIGIA and many other hardcore stuff are cool to listen to, but there's something missing for me personally.

    Great live report(s)!

     

    I dislike any band making the audience kneel because then I stick out like a sore thumb (more than I already do) for being 2 seconds slower than everyone else 😅.

     

    I like the triforce in the middle of all the pentagrams on that hoodie.

    Thanks a bunch! For me it was fine but at MEIDARA's live i was the last to be standing and the guitarist pointed at me like "down, onegaishimasu", and well, i did, lol. I'm never disrespectful, so of course i want to follow every else, if i'm not too fed up or tired :P Yeah, the hoodie is amazing and soft! Great for night time!

    My second concert while in Tokyo! Starwave Records seem to have the most attractive bands for me, atleast atm. This was a Monday and pretty early. At first i didn't find the venue since the area has tons of sidealleys and it was such a rainy day, rushed with my umbrella like a maniac. I didn't have a pre-ticket so i went in normally with others and got one. Ruido K3 was a really nice venue in my eyes, really small but enough room cos it wasn't too crowded. There was a big DJ booth at the back and a bar, so i obviously went to use my drink ticket. I'm a beer guy, so glug lug.

    Sooooo, let's start the talking.

     

    シンデレラキャッスル 

     

    After a little waiting the show started. Cinderella Castle was the first band to perform, it was a trio, apparently? They had a drummer but he didn't look like a real member, more like regular drummer ossan. This band was totally unknown for me so i didn't know what to expect, the vocalist had a cute face and silver x purple hair and seemed utterly energetic.

    The songs were your basic oshare-ish vk but alot of hopping from side to side, only a few girls participated. Both guitarists looks were a little traditional japanese inspired.

    They played 4 songs in total, and at some point a big horsemask appeared and was put on the mic stand, hehe. Vocalist also shared some bread with the audience, how kind.

    Their buppan didn't get a single buy/customer 😕 

     

    ギルティア

     

    Alright, Guiltia was a big chance compared to the first band, finally some ikemen with leather and straps! Don't know their songs either but they were pretty good and heavy.

    The bassist had a birthday so we congratulated him, of course! He was really seducing the front row, haha. 

     

    マーブル

     

    Marble was apparently a one-man show and a project. He had a speaking booth in the middle of the stage and was wearing nice renaissance blazer with flowers and embellishments. The music was pretty electronic, even techno-like here and there. He also did some nazi salutes as furis, it was cool, lol.

     

     

    ЯｅＶＥＬＬＩＯＮ　ＧЯＩＥＦ

     

    Yosh, time for the next one. Revellion was good, i did like them! The vocalist wasn't very outstandingly gifted but it was alright. The pig screams were better than melodic singing. The bassist was crushed in a really tight dress, corset and a pink Hatsune Miku-wig. I don't think i would listen to their music that much in my free time but the live was good to watch! Heres a pic with the boys, i went to hangout near the table to wait for next band and talked a little with them, since "why not?"

    ラヴェーゼ

     

    Ooooooh myyy gooooood, i wasn't prepared for them to play next. I was chilling on the floor in the back, and got up like a phoenix and rushed to the front, since there was a free spot, thank you jesus. They were fucking amazing, definetely my favourite of the event selection. Well hmmm what can i tell, Serah was pointing at me and demanded me for more action since i think i froze for a second just jawdropped, lol. Went for it. Sadly very short list, so happy they played my favourite 未完ノ刻ト悲愴ノ渦! Can't wait for the new single.

    ノクト & DaturA

     

    Haven't listened to them at all before so i was like "meh", let's see. Memories of these bands are kind of minimal and faint, so idk what to tell. 

    I guess they were alright. Noctos ETERNITY was def better live than the horrendous pv they made. I relate to the vocalist for liking Westwood & leopard print.

    DaturA's vocalist was super sexual and was rubbing his crotch all the time, a little Lycaon's Yuuki, if i may say :P I enjoyed them!

    UNDER FALL JUSTICE

     

    The utter minute they opened the curtains everyone went on their knees and hold their hands like prayer. Did the same. I've been getting into them more & more some months before this live. They were really good, 何も信じていない  was such a highlight of the set since i've been banging that shit like 24/7 on my phone. Hot nihilist boys, what can i say. 

    Very dark and gorgeous.

    Scarlet Valse 

     

    At this point when waiting for them i was getting kinda hungry and tired, the event started at 15.00 and i didn't properly feed myself before. Almost considred of leaving without seeing them. Thank God i didn't. It seems like their band concept changes alot, or at least the appearance? I was like "wtf" when Kakeru came to the stage and had the good judy black feather hat on. I don't need glasses yet but i rubbed my eyes a little asking myself "Is that Kyouki?" Hi Grieva, please come back, bitches. Their set was really good and they had the most fans, as you can see from the pic above, waiting with the towels on the stage handles. Lunatic Mind was really cool. The final climaxed into a banger of all bands with gyakudai and rose throwing etc. Saya also jumped to the audience and came to pick me up into the dive ❤️ Boy, i'll come if called. Feed me a cracker before :P Great live, great event, satisfied in every way.

    I got myself this nice & soft parka (been wearing it quite much already) from La Baiser and 5 chekis, got some nice ones but no Saya 😢 Next time, then!

    Ripped my leather joggers while jumping and everything but it was worth it! Bye!

    I was joking ;) That wasn't actually me, although it sounds like it was a fun show so I wish it was!

     

    Did the band seem to react to having a foreigner at their shows? I've seen other people say that smaller bands, especially, can be surprised that Europeans or Americans even know about them.

    They didn't give me much special attention, expect Futarishizuka was always creepily staring right into my eyes when he did the "statue"-thing where he stops moving for a period of time. Of course tho hugging and a little chat with the boys is special for me, haha. I really do think they appreciate foreigners going to their shows.

    Love your look for the night!

     

    I'm somehow a bit surprised to see 泡沫 on the setlist. It's my favorite song by them, but I thought it would be one they would never (or rarely) perform. How did it sound live?

     

    Also—if it's not too much to ask—I'd love the scans for the 薄紅ノ葬 booklet!

    Hey! Thanks! It's a beautiful ballad song live, totally! I don't own a scanner but i can scan at the library or somewhere :P
