PV looks absolutely amazing, probably their best one in ages. Like someone else already jokingly pointed out, it looks like Kyo's slowly transforming into Sopor Aeternus' Anna-Varney though 
 
also it DEF feels as if some parts of the songs have been cut out

It's nice but way too short for this kind of song, 5+ minutes would have been better. Idk how much they cutted off from the album ver. but it feels like something is missing, would have loved a beautiful guitar solo and a longer outro for example 

Pulling this quote out for emphasis.
 
 
Something like what is described in this thread, as well as the various other ones mentioned above, are horrible and should be treated with the same amount of outrage regardless of who did it. It's unfortunate that a scene that could allow for so much creativity and expression, both visually and audibly, attracts all sorts of scummy people because the target audience is vulnerable and impressionable. 

Big ones:
D (especially 7th Rose), D'espairsRay of course, Aliene Ma'riage (especially 21st Century), Girugamesh, lynch,  Sadie (though their stuff is pretty spotty IMO),  Gullet, some Kuroyume, Madeth Gray'll, Merry Go Round, some of Beast of Blood-era Malice Mizer
 
Other random ones that come to mind:
Nega, Grieva, VellaDonna, L'yse:nore (to some extent), Syndrome, Vice+Risk, Velze Dieulawahl, Blam Honey (if you like industrial), Chaos System
 

think about this: if this al  turns out to be legit, there -must- be some artists or people who have worked closely with Kisaki in some form who actually knew about this shit to some extent, i don't feel like it's the kind of thing that would just be easy to hide

It's worrying to me that some peoples first thought is 'oh noh muh music!!!!!'
do you not have any sympathy for this little girl?? or her mother? or any other people he's mistreated??
 
I've always hated Kisaki, thought he was an overdramatic attention seeker; but knowing he does this is shocking
he's disgusting and I hope he rots in prison. 
 

Thanks for archiving and translating this, cvltic.

I used to be of the opinion that I wouldn't concern myself too much with rumors/scandals or things like that and just focus on the music. But now with all of the domestic and sexual abuse tanuki rumors I've read about the past few years it's become more difficult. Sometimes I wish I could read Japanese and better understand the scene so I could get some better insight on these types of situations. Kisaki's influence on visual kei goes far and beyond and this will be a big hit to the scene. I hope some of my favorite artists and bands disavow this man if he's convicted of crimes.

When I opened this post about an hour ago, I expected a kettle of piping hot tea on Kisaki's recurring financial tomfoolery and musical misadventures. I was proven otherwise.
 
If the allegations are proven to be true (with this much evidence and photographs, how could it not), there is no chance of redemption for this absolute scumbag of a person.

P.S.
 
I wonder if the recent cancellation of the upcoming Phantasmagoria compilation album was Kisaki's way of funding himself to hire a reputable defense attorney in case any information surfaces on the internet.

Well, it's time for Kisaki to drop a soap in prison.
I bought an objexxx CD from this fucktard a couple of years ago, lol.

well, the authorities still have to take the word of a WOMAN and we all know how that goes in most cases, so I wouldn't be certain about that...

Here's the deleted pictures. It's clear that's KISAKI.
 
 

Kisaki's drama was all fun when it was only some tax fraud and stolen pictures, now it's just too serious.
If these allegations are true I will never support him again, ever

Because Jin, at his best, sounds like that clip you just posted. 
 
And isn’t the DEG thread full of comments about how shitty Kyo sounds most of the time? Who’s denying it?

So, like a Japanese Ian Watkins?

(Thank you to @ricchubunny for posting about this in a status, which led to @Chi linking it to me!)
 
An account on Twitter, @KISAKI54175241, has begun to make some fairly serious claims against Kisaki, so here we are in the rumors section yet again. At the time of this posting the account has 66 tweets and multiple images. I saved an archive of the page at it is at this moment in case anything happens to it, so please let me know and I will post that somewhere.

I neither endorse nor deny any of the claims made below, and I made a conscious effort to avoid sensationalizing anything in my translations... If you have any questions or feedback in that regard please let me know.

More importantly some of the content below is disturbing. There are mentions of domestic violence and child sexual abuse. Please read at your own discretion or skip to the summary below if you would like to know what happened without getting into explicit detail.

The translation as the account stands at 2:28 PM -6:00 GMT is complete.

This picture provided by @colorfuljinsei (originally from Kisaki's official twitter?) can serve as a tattoo placement/design reference if you would like to do any comparisons.


In summary, Kisaki has been accused of:
-Inappropriate sexual contact with a young child
-Domestic violence
-Being a habitual benzo seeker/user
-Being suicidal and using this as a manipulation tactic
-Astroturfing tanuki, working to have critical articles and twitters suspended
Allegedly, these matters have been brought to police.

I’ve been thinking about this thread all day and can not fathom how bad things must have gotten to be kicked out of the Kisaki Project.
 
Like, we have a whole thread of Kisaki bullshit, and someone with that much dirt on him said “yikes, you need to go” to Satsuki. Amazing / tragic because I really liked that incarnation of TKP

why are dir en grey stans always feeling so confident dissing other vocalists while y'all stan this
? ? ?

I’d ignore that account to be honest. This is the first time I’ve seen them not post a “what’s [insert band here]’s heaviest album?”

The softer songs from MoaB are definitely the best moments from the album.
 
I hope the MoaB comparision don't included the mixing of the album as well.

Yep, more of those silly ass song comparisons comin' at ya --
 
"Mushigoe" is literally System of a Down's "Chop Suey", and "B.Y.O.B.", just with 8 strings.
 
It's kinda ridiculous how they managed to get away with all of that very blatant riff lifting...I know from previous experience with VK, that most bands have borrowed some riffs and and a bunch of bands just straight up take songs note for note.

I really hate this, but it's true. "Delta" is literally a drop E cover of "Headache Man" (the GazettE).

Recent DEG stuff sounds like a bunch of 128kbps files anyway

I think Arche leaked like two days early or something like that. Btw Kaoru did an interview with Ongaku to Hito. I haven’t read it but I was reading the 2ch thread and it sounds like the album is gonna be a cross between Arche and TMOAB.

I want a jumpscare teaser where there's just a screen with some japanese text and then out of nowhere some really heavy stuff and Kyo screeching at the top of his lungs (think of the "Reiketsu Nariseba" ending) starts playing with the album cover flashing on the screen (come on, it's pretty freaky, it could work well)
