Hello, I started enjoying visual kei in 2008 (so a decade ago lol) when I found Deluhi and VAMPS, but I drifted away to the American alternative scene while discovering GACKT and others along the way. Last year I got with my SO and he was really into visual kei and once I saw what he was talking about it all came back to me. Now I listen to stuff like DAMY, X Japan, Morrigan, Halloween Junky Orchestra, TRNTY D:CODE and Yoshiki and SUGIZO's solo projects. My SO and I have this ritual where he'll find new music videos throughout the week, then we'll watch them all to discover new artists. Making friends has always been a struggle for me, but I hope I can make friends here and we can share our love for vk and discover new music together. Thanks for reading this and I'm so excited to meet you guys!

Welcome to the forum (finally)!
Now that's quite an intro haha. With an artist list like that I think you'll fit into the community just fine .
I was brought up on Anime OPs too, so its nice to see another fan join us.
 
What I really find interesting is that you dove into Japanese Hip-hop around 2010, as I used to be a big fan in the late 90's/early 00's, but actually jumped ship around '08-'10 haha.
What artists could you recommend from around that time?
 
 

Hello everyone, I've been a Visual Kei fan since 2004 when I discovered J-Rock with Asian Kung Fu Generation and subsequently Visual Kei through L'Arc~en~Ciel through Fullmetal Alchemist and quickly found DIR EN GREY and X Japan. I was a fan of everything FROM ∀NTI FEMINISM, An Cafe, Girugamesh and 蜉蝣 to Phantasmagoria, Moi dix Mois and Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet- from 2004 up until around 2010. I then fell into Japanese hip hop and left the scene until last year while keeping up with stuff like DIR EN GREY and the GazettE. Anyway, since last year I've been back in it and quite deeply and it's been nice discovering so many new bands and the nostalgia of the bands I used to love. I was always ostracized and ridiculed about my musical choices in my youth (my youth? I'm only 28 xD) and I ended up finding a soul mate who enjoys Visual Kei as well, especially DAMY, but that doesn't mean that I am not looking to create friendships as friends with similar musical interests are few and far between.
 
I've been a fan of a variety of subgenres over the years, everything from your traditional Visual Kei to Oshare-kei and Nagoya-kei. My favorite bands since I've come back would have to be TRNTY D:CODE, Darian Marian, SARIGIA, dexcore, DatuRΛ, MISERIA, and I was really fond of DEVIZE, VRZEL and MEJIBRAY. As far as old bands I've always loved anything MORRIE does; so DEAD END, 黒夢, PENICILLIN, GLAY, X Japan, Luna Sea and D'erlanger. 
Oh my, I apologize for writing what has essentially turned into a short story! I guess I can end this by saying that I've been aware of this place for some years and used to lurk off and on in the past and I'm happy to be here now.

In this video you can find the English lyrics of Gravity 😄
 

SARIGIA - DECAYED 

Except it isn't?
 
I get bashing X or HYDE for the never coming album or recent music (VAMPS, that garbage solo single), but passing judgement on a 30 sec sample of a track is stupid.
 
So far I still get VAMP-vibes... May as well be VAMPIRE'S LOVE (which I like). 
 
The anime nerds prob won't like it since it doesn't fit with the previous OPs.  But those openings themes sucked anyway.

I like it a lot

I mean its an anime intro, my guess is they asked for a certain style a long with other requirements so this is what he came up with.
Its sounds okay but id have to hear the full version to make a final decision. 
Im sure if he had full liberty to make what ever he wanted it would have been different. 

Sounds pretty good to me.

Nihit said on Twitter that he wrote the bonus track.
