I legitimately thought this was Kiryu at first, lol ^^;

this spring is cwazy!!the season ov lov 

Makoto announced that he married a girl with whom he had a relationship for a long time already. 12.05 wedding banquet was held, yesterday was official registration.
 
 

It's Kiryu's turn...
 
 

Welcome here 😊  .  
 
It's the same things for bands who was in PS COMPANY, it's not surprising  ans it's not new or any labels.

This has become a major life goal for me! I could imagine nothing more beautiful, noble, and rewarding than marrying, starting, maintaining, and nourishing a family. Kids are wonderful and they're a blessing to be sure - you can learn a lot from them. I look forward to both the challenge and the privilege of hoisting that level of responsibility onto my shoulders, and I'm excited to see the man that I'll grow to be through it.

He has many amazing looks, but this is one of my favorites xD (Still super sad that he's basically disappeared ;w;) 

I only just found out that they're called "Madmans Esprit" and not "Madmans Espirit". I thought an "e-spirit" was like an e-cigarette but with alcohol. Not quite sure how that'd work, but oh well. 😕
 
Speaking of a sharp edge, I want Sizna to lacerate me with his jawline

I guess it counts as social media, but this statement reminded me of YouTube as well and how zealous people can become on there. (Especially when it comes to things people stan very much)

Hi guys~ 
 
Im Rica and I have been a guest on this forum for a few years, and finally decided to join the family and introduce myself. I am 19 and I'm from Hong Kong(yup, technically part of China but also not really!!). This forum is so useful and informational. I started liking Visual Kei at about 2015, youtube recommended me Kiryu's Amaterasu MV out of nowhere. And I have been in the circle since.
 
I'm not a really active bangya, since I couldnt travel for lives; I got my friends to bought a few CD for me from Japan when they go travelling. Personally, I dont know anyone who know visual kei around me, since it is a very very niche thing in HK. I can only tell my sister and to few of my close friends. So it's great that I know there is a forum like this where I can talk about and read about things that I love. I am actually going to travel to Tokyo next week and I am super excited about it, too bad non of my favs have any lives during my stay :(. 
 
(sorry if i am too long-winded, im a bit excited). 
 
Few of my favorite bands are(in no specific order): 
Kiryu they got me into this whole thing, 
DIV heart broken when they disbanded but was predicted since their last single was uneventful to say the least, 
MejiBray still hasnt got excited about the 8psb thing, 
Clowd sad that they disbanded as well, 
Royz only for their music occasionally and for the kami- Subaru, 
Arlequin love their music and getting their songs on spotify is really appreciated, 
The Raid got into them recently because of kabukicho rainy, love their music and the vocalist's voice
Unite. like their song style occasionally, came across them because they are in the same company as DIV
Babykingdom their songs are so catchy and shogo is so cute~ (not sure if it is a guilty pleasure here)...
零[hz] here for their personalities, mainly cuz they are in BPR
Kizu love love love their music
I also listen to other bands based on the songs, I'm mostly into Vkei for the music to be honest. 
 
Other than vkei, also have an unexplainable love for Motely Crue, Queen, and any other songs occasionally popular to millennials these days.
I am so happy to be here~ and nice to meet you guys~   guess im talking too much for an introduction post  looking forward to be educated about band dramas and news, since i dont really know japanese and am very unfamiliar with fandoms. 
 

Seconded ❤️

For some darker bands, I think Diaura is a decent band worth checking out. The singer has an amazing voice.
 
 

Yeah, I'm good friends with the manager there. I used to visit him and chat about VK whenever I had free time in Shibuya. He even played my recommendations over the store speakers... :') I think the only mens shop left is the one in Shinjuku (the same location as the CD one) but they're still doing business online.

It seems that visual kei stores are going out of business at an alarming rate. The latest casualty is the ZEAL LINK store in Nagoya, which will cease operations on May 29.

I like college but I hate how much time it takes out my schedule. I want a job, but I can only get one in the summer (that is, if anyone would even hire me) and I'd have to quit about two months later.

My first attempt a Visual Kei. My mom did my makeup since I suck ass at it but it's good I guess😛

meanwhile....
 

 
 
I wouldn't be half as annoyed at pitchfork, if they at least supported artists that are actually talented, creative, and empowering as much as they push this degenerative nonsense.

I figured since this counts as creative id post it here...
 
But here's my youtube channel!
Its comic book centered and I put out new content every week!

For me I've felt it's always the exact opposite. They become boring and generic in sound. Maybe the composition becomes smoother and more refined but feels like something has gone missing.

Recently, I have been listening to other VK bands such as Sadie and Phantimasigoria and I was wondering what are other good bands to check out. Anything will be appreciated!
 
Bands I like:
Dir En Grey
The Gazette
Malice Mizer
X Japan
Luna Sea
Sadie
existtrace
Nine Inch Nails
Rammstein
Marylin Manson
LAREINE
