NeverendingWorld

Forgot to pre-order, like an idiot. Now my heart is broken, 2-4 weeks until CD Japan can ship it. I hope everyone else was smarter than me!! Excuse me while I go watch the Vanitas MV for the 100th time and cry. Ah, I cannot wait to hear it and to hear people's thoughts on it!!!

Amazing list!! Arlequin is defintiely one of those bands that should not be judged on singles alone (even when their singles are killer!). All of these songs are great, I never realised how many of my favourites are b-sides etc. (lullaby is probably my all time favourite though!) Thanks for puttting it together, it was a fun read

Welcome! It's been a few months since we did a recap of some quality songs we've been enjoying lately. Lots of great releases have come out this spring, so here's what we recommend checking out if you haven't heard it already. If there's anything we missed, leave it below!

Thanks for reading!

let retsu take over the song writing from issei was their best decision ever

I saw Dimlim yesterday and he did do the scream. Very well, actually. 

Totally generic title >> But I'm bad at titles. I mean, my attempts at choosing a username went so badly I settled for a lyric from my favourite cheesy MORRIGAN song.  Anyway, hi! I'm Amy, a VK loving Australian who has been reading posts here for years and figured it's time to finally make an account!

As for my music taste? I listen to a LOT of bands indiscriminately and am always looking for new bands and songs to listen to. Some favourite acts of mine are  RAZOR, Kiryu, Xaa-Xaa,  (since seeing them live, they totally blew me away), DADAROMA's early stuff, Arlequin (unironically), POIDOL (also unironically), DIMLIM (Vanitas sold me) and I still love a lot of songs and albums by the GazettE and MEJIBRAY, since they got me into this genre! There's so much to love about visual kei, from the music to the visuals it's great that there are communities celebrating it... and making fun of it, and all that good stuff. (Although apparently being 20 in the visual kei instagram community makes me a Bonafide Old Person... who would have thought...)

Er, what else? I play the bass... and I like long walks on the beach AND I'm occasionally mediocre at both introductions and intentional comedy.

That's about it! ^_^

No! Not at all! I've just been made fun of for liking them a lot xD Shohei is legitimately my favourite bassist in VK right now sound wise <3

😮 I'm so jealous! That must have been amazing! Back when Pitty was around ❤️

My last concert was RAZOR, Xaa-Xaa, DADAROMA and Grimoire in Osaka, this May. It was my first visual kei live and I was honestly not disappointed. My expectations were low after so many negative live reports but... wow! RAZOR were spectacular (Ryoga was exceptionally physical and charismatic,  also a great vocalist live which I was not expecting admittedly), Grimoire were good (but  not my cup of tea), DADAROMA were having some really bad luck (techincal issues,  Tomo seemed really mad but they pulled through!) and Xaa-Xaa... were a million times better than I expected them to be, honestly the highlight of the entire night. Every member of the band was musically on point, the singer's vocals were the best of the whole night and the songs were all fantastic. !00% converted.

Hey everybody,
I've decided to make a profile since I've been reading posts here for years. I've been into VK since  2006-2007(I was 12-13 back then, I'm almost 24 now) and I still listen to it 24/7, nothing else, haha.. Also been to a few concerts (when bands use to come to The Netherlands which they rarely do nowadays). VK was also an outlet for me to dress feminine and eventually start hormones/surgeries(5-6 years ago). I use to dress up (inspired by a few bandmembers) and live my life like that, haha, but I'm kinda basic now clothing-wise.. I'm more into the early VK era now (90s) but mainly 'cause I've listened to almost all the 2000-2012 stuff and didn't pay the early era's much attention until 2012. I'm not so much into the newer era.. You can check my likes-playlist on youtube: thewebsweweaved to check out what I like(I listen to more VK bands through cds etc, a lot of stuff is deleted on youtube). Maybe someone here has suggestions so I can check 'em out. It's hard to find people that like the same music. It truly is a big passion of mine and I can't describe how much I love the sounds, vocals and unique beats of some songs. Sorry for my long ass intro and thanks for reading to those that did.. x
