Imagine going on a date with a girl and tricking her into thinking that you speak French just by saying a bunch of VK band names like it's a sentence.
 
Lareine Versailles? emmurée. Moi dix Mois, Baiser, L'arc en Ciel. Noir Fleurir... Noi'x.

They did this fully aware they were gonna get sued lol but honestly, it's such a good mash up of gzts best hits, gzt themselves couldn't put something like this out nowadays

The lyrics for their new song. I hope the GazettE doesn't sue me.

Credits: the band, for making the text available on the music video, and me, for transcribing it.

Well I mean that's for anything in the world. You are supposed to ask before you take someone's material and if say no then you can't and most of the time you just share royalties or something like that. Anywho, I'm sure that's why he didn't want to mention the band members names in the beginning, he knew this was coming and maybe why everyone else previously left the band. Maybe all of this was catching up to them with different threats and lawsuits and stuff. You never know.

gazstans don't like any one saying or doing anything about the gazette, whether its good or bad.

コドモドラゴン is one of my favourite band at the moment.
Especially watching their youtube Channel , and know them better aside of the band-man-personality !!

aww how cute its very reminiscent of their right evil look

Unfortunately, I don't watch anime as much these days, but I still enjoy going back to watch old seasons or series I've missed in the past. I've watched some newer ones on occasions. I think I first began watching anime with DBZ and Pokemon. Time flies!
 
Choosing a top five is tough! There's a lot I like watching even if it's just for nostalgia or something else. If I had to choose (in no particular order):
 
Yu Yu Hakusho - Love this series. Comedy was hilarious, and the dynamic between the characters are unforgettable.
Trigun - It's got 90s animation all over it, but I highly enjoy the plot. The goofiness combined with the dark depth underneath made for a great combination.
Ranma 1/2 - Extremely funny and the whole gender-bending "issue" made all of it even better.
.hack//sign - Virtual world gaming, but with a whole lot of psychological issues and other serious elements
Death Note - Interesting concepts of Death Gods and the Death Note. The two opposite rivals was neat, too.
 
Honorable Mentions (if my list of favorites could be even longer XP):
Inuyasha - The plot and the characters were great, but there was way too much filler towards the end in the original series ^^;
Wolf's Rain
Evangelion
Saiunkoku Monogatari
Fushigi Yuugi
Akatsuki no Yona
Rurouni Kenshin - I'd say the whole series, but it's been too long since I last watched it. I distinctly remember the Shishio arc, though.
FMA - Sadly, I've only watched the original one. But I've heard the Botherhood series is really good. I need to watch that someday to compare, lol.
Fate/Zero
Mai-Hime - Starts off silly and nonsensical, but it gets quite serious towards the latter half of the series. Love the music in this one.
 

Saiyuki Reload Blast 
Black Butler (Though the Book of Circus and Book of Murder were a lot better lol disregard season 2)
Elfen Lied
The Devil is a Part timer
Wolf's Rain
 
That's about it. I don't get too much into anime anymore, though if The Devil is a Part Timer would just get a season 2 I would definitely jump back into that. Devilman Crybaby was pretty good and Mirai was actually a really cute movie to watch. 

Well this is random, but this is Yoshiki so it doesn't really surprise me anymore
 
 

The singles reached the #1 and #2 spots of the top Oricon with more than 7000 copies sold for each singles.
 
 

the GazettE parody:
 

Not sure how "unexpected" this is but:
 
Argonavis aka Boydori now has a character who is a bandomen yay
Also oldies popular shoujo manga Kaikan Phrase had a band whose guitarist was ex-vk (but since Ayabie covered Datenshi Blue as if it's a vk song ... is it unexpected?)

Hey everyone! It's been a while! (Probably 5 years since I stepped down as moderator here, damn!)
I'm kinda back into VK/J-Rock and stuff, so I'm probably trying to start hanging out here more like the old days.
I hope everyone is still doing fine and well!
 
I wonder who are still active here from the time I was active on this forum. Anyways, like old days, hope to get a chance to talk through the chat!
Also, I'm open to any band recommendations, hit me up with links as spotify and such.
Maybe my lastfm will help with some recommendations ^^
I'm currently still into MEJIBRAY and I also like bands such as ACME, HAKLO, Versailles, Diaura, Nocturnal Bloodlust, Royz.
 
Hope to see my old friends again as meeting new friends!
Yoroshikuuuu~~

Ikebukuro Cyber is their only choice and AREA is a staple of talented bands and shit bands can play so that shit bands can kill your eardrums before who you came to see is playing.  Or just find out when your band is playing and skip out on bands you don't wanna see, but there's always a risk to that cause some other band that you might like can be playing a secret live.

I wonder what do generic j-indie bands who can't even dream of getting at the same level as kiryu/sukiyakiwok/lynch sales-wise do in these times?..
 
can people who follow that scene comment?

Smh I can't believe that kids these days don't know about Kisaki and his legacy and his various crimes against humanity and especially under-aged kids 😤😤😤

Ikebukuro RUIDO K3 announced on their OHP that they would be shutting down at the end of August due to the influence of COVID-19. Their twitter has been suspended, though in their announcement, they state "for more information after 09/01, reference https://twitter.com/revoice_music," which states "From September 5, 2020, live house "Ikebukuro Revoice" will open at the site of Ikebukuro RUIDO K3! 160 people.
It seems to me like this is a change in ownership and whether or not they will continue to cater to VK bands is to be seen, but DEVILOOF's Daiki seems be pretty disappointed in RUIDO's closing. He says that he's seeing a decline in the scene because bands are disbanding, but no new ones are forming (probably due to the pandemic) and is scared to think there will be fewer and fewer venues for bandmen to play.
 
EDIT
Looks like the same goes for Shinjuku RUIDO K4 ... They'll close at the end of September and a new venue named Shinjuku WALLY will open in its place in October.
