It's no wonder their music sounds quite promising - some of the band members have lots of previous experience. Does guitarist iyu have any previous band experience or is this his first band? (Thanks for all the information/dedication on this new band! I can't decide either who is better them or Verxina. They're both decent, new bands.)

未完成アリス (Mikansei Alice) will release their first MV collection called「未完成のはじまり」(Mikansei no Hajimari) on 2019.02.27. It will first be sold at Ikebukuro Ruido K3 live on 2019.01.29.

Well, except for Nao who is somehow still active doing whatever.

Yup, the content will be on Nico (Japanese equivalent to YouTube) and they will have their own channel. It'll be fun to see what they'll do on their shows.

That's awesome! Where are you going to be visiting while in Japan? If you're going to be in Tokyo, then there are a bunch of cool visual kei CD shops and clothing stores to check out. Osaka also has a nice handful of shops and places to go as well, although Osaka is a little more spread out in terms of the location of every shop. Here is a useful website for starters. It lists some shops, stores, PV filming locations, and other things to see related to VK/Jrock: http://www.vkeiguide.com/ (It looks up-to-date, but it's missing quite a lot of CD shops.) Harajuku (in Shibuya, Tokyo) has tons of VK clothing stores. Unfortunately, I can't remember where all of them are, but it all sits on one street (Takeshita Doori), so it won't be too hard to find. Many of the VK clothing shops in Harajuku are located in a huge department store, La Foret. (Here is the link: https://www.laforet.ne.jp/en/). PureSound: https://puresound.co.jp/extra/rotation/info/shop.html (It shows the map of where they are located in both Shinsaibashi, Osaka and in Shinjuku, Tokyo. The Tokyo store location map is at the bottom. They sell new and used CDs as well as second hand VK clothings, etc.) Closet Child: Shinjuku Location Map (Tokyo), Ikebukuro Location Map (Tokyo), Yokohama Location Map (Tokyo - If memory serves correctly, I think it's not directly in the heart of Tokyo, but it's easy to access by train.), Namba Location Map (Osaka) (They sell lots of second-hand VK CDs, VK clothings, Lolita outfits, and more.) Brand-X: Brand-X (Ikebukuro, Tokyo - They've listed their address in English on this page.) Zeal Link: Zeal Link (In Tokyo, they have stores in Shibuya and Shinjuku. In Osaka, it's in Amerikamura [Shinsaibashi]. They also have a shop in Sakae, Nagoya if you're going there.) Like an Edison: http://ktai.la-edison.com/pc/index.html (For Tokyo, they're located in Shinjuku and Harajuku. For Osaka, they are in Shinsaibashi. They also have a store in Nagoya, although I've never been to that one.) Jishuban Club: Jishuban Club on Google Map These are just a few that I can think of right now. There are also a bunch of HMV and Tower Records. They also sell Jrock/VK CDs, but not as many as some of the smaller stores I mentioned above. I apologize for not being able to point out any Nagoya kei related stuff I think there are some people on the forum who currently live in Tokyo, so they might know more about it ^^ I'm more familiar with Osaka if you're going there and have any questions about it (I apologize in advance if my post sounds like one huge ramble ^^;)

Kizu and DIMLIM will continue to put out killer good releases The Thirteen and D=OUT will (hopefully) release full length albums Verxina will continue to amaze with great music

Awesome! I'm looking forward to this release ^^

Visual kei never ceases to amaze with interesting band names. (When I saw the band name, I thought of the candy Tic Tac for some reason.) I wonder what their music will sound like.

Aw, dog is super cute in the video. Nice song! Love Chisa's voice as always.

Ack, this thread existed? I think I'll be in this club for a while *pulls up a chair and sits down* Still single and probably will be for a while. Currently, I'm focusing on school and would like to wait until I feel my life is steadier (if a relationship happens). A friend of mine asked me if I ever planned to date and/or get married, and it got me thinking that whatever happens will happen. If it happens, then that's great. If it doesn't, then that's fine with me (personally). I've never had any serious relationships. I almost had one a long time ago, but it fell through due to complicated reasons as usual ^^; I think the mentality of "you have to be dating someone" is a bit odd. Each individual has the choice of whether they want to be in a relationship with someone or not. No one else has that right to tell you (in general, no one in particular) that "you should be dating someone" since you are the one who will be experiencing the relationship, not anyone else. Also, I don't want to be in a relationship with someone to validate my existence. I feel quite content with who I am and I don't want someone else telling me about myself. I'm up for changing into being a better person or compromising with other people to make things work, but I think you should stick true to who you are and not morph into someone else completely different that makes you feel unhappy/uncomfortable. I've seen people be in a relationship and completely change themselves because of their partner. It makes me sad to see this because I believe people in a relationship are equals, not subservient to their partner. (I'm speaking in general terms and not about any specific circumstances/situations.) (Yikes, this post was longer than I intended 😅 I apologize if I didn't make any sense. It's almost three am over here, and I'm somewhat tired, but I wanted to respond, lol.)
