Hakuei from Penicillin wears an eye patch sometimes.
 

 

 

i find some of their sound is recycled but i'm not sure about wasted potential...still very much enjoying their material

Develop One's Faculties' drummer Johannes always has one eye covered with a contraption of his making. Does that count?
 


 

Nice! Hopefully, they'll upload the rest soon~ ^^

Clack inc. have uploaded the first half of their May 17th livestream to YouTube! The songs are: 欲執 (Yokuto), 大嫌い。(Daikirai.) and 一撃 (Ichigeki)

Shinya has joined the band as their official drummer. (Was a drummer for some tokyo deathcore band called inception of genocide but otherwise cant find anything else on him besides him being slothreat support drummer for the past year or so)
Full length album will be release this september.

Haven't updated this in nearly 5 years but here's what lockdown made me do.

Enjoy !
 
 

"Hi, we're inThe."
"In the what?"
"Just inThe."
"Just in the WHAT???"
 
Thank you, I'll be here all weekend.

Speaking of Gackt-inspired characters, there's also a vocaloid character created/named after him called Camui Gackpo, lol.

Man, I had the dream of my life last night. There was this record store attached to a school and I had enough free time to pay a visit, so I went on in. Browsed around, saw some cool stuff but then I got to the "Japan" section and nearly creamed my pants. Man who ran the store had TASTE. No Hatsune Miku. No full racks taken up by only Perfume and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Just two racks of assorted (mostly old schoo)l VK CDs. Some were real albums with covers I could recognize, like Macabre (Diru) or Children (Rouage) and others were completely made up by my brain (saw this Zilch one with pink and white polka dots and the hide with spread beaver logo with a heart inside it lol). So I did what my unbridled subconscious would wont to do and bought them all. I spent like... Over 200$ at once? Possibly 300$. I remember just flipping through them all, overwhelmed with joy, knowing that my dream came true! Then I woke up and realized that my dream did not come true. I'd prefer to focus on the positives, like the fact that I did not just spend 300$ on a whim as quickly as that, haha! I hope I can have a dream like that again...

NICOLAS recently released a DVD of their first live at Meguro Rockmaykan on July 1, 2019. They're also going to live stream it on YouTube!
I think Saku said they're keeping in MCs and stuff. If so, it's going to be hilarious. The live was suuuper fun and there was even hella funny talk about what furi to do for their new songs. 😍
 
Edit: all MCs are kept and Saku never knows when to shut up so youve been warned 😂
 
 

That reminds me; Genesis Rhapsodos from FF7CC was based on/voiced by Gackt.
 

 
Also, his song Redemption was in FF7DOC.

Kiyoshi Date from SKET Dance

His voice actor is GACKT btw

Hello all! friggin hisashiburi bros. 
I haven't been around much just due to life in general. But lately I've been getting back in to music in a really intense way that I have started to make stuff again. No original music as of right now but I plan on making a lot of covers and a youtube channel possibly. I'm really stoked about it. I recently just got some pieces for setting up an at home studio. This cover is really only about 50% done but I'm so excited to track my progress. I'll probably still re-record the vocals again simply because I'm still waiting for my pop shield so there's still some aspects I would like to remove and line the timing up better. I'll also be adding a few more effects, a couple strings here and there, and maybe a bit more depth. My current set up is on PC. I'm using Ableton Live Lite (Until I can afford the upgrade) with a Novation LaunchKey 61. I recently got the Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio kit which is what I am using to record vocals and possible future instruments not done through Launch Key. This song is a cover (incomplete) of Sweet Night by V from BTS. Let me know what you think!
 
Also if there are any other musicians who are looking to collaborate I am super down. 
 

Reita from the GazettE, I feel like he'd be a pretty funny guy to hang out with lol

Sawayama is out and it's pretty goooood:
 
 
"Love Me 4 Me" and "Bad Friend" are a one-two punch and "Tokyo Love Hotel" is <3.

Nikki from Chrono Cross seems quite influenced by VK, he's the guitarist of the band 'Magical Dreamers'
 

Thank you!
 
all 3 are really nice dudes.
Also the drummer (Shin-chan)  he is also the drummer of THE MINKS
hope he stays healthy....
 
hope they still all healthy.
 
I became a friend of them because of THE VACK'S. and THE VACK'S I know thanks to THE HIGH GRIP (Calmando Qual) lol
 
MMS
I'm glad to know them
I'm really happy.
 
So,
everyone,
check them out.
 
their music is easy to like... such rock music is easy to like. it's good, its enjoying rock music, will stay good forever. doesn't matter what age you are, you will enjoy it your whole life once you like it.
 
And,,,
older people who still play with such spirit you should check out anyway.
 
if we can go to Tokyo again
be sure to visit a gig of them also if your schedule will allow it.
There will be always someone willing to talk to you. (don't worry about that)
Whenever your japanese is bad or not, they happy to meet you.  They show you 1000x more "gratitude" than any visual kei band would show to you.
 

They always ask me if I like Hatsune Miku 💀💀💀 EVERY DAMN TIME  
 

Just got these in the mail last friday. I spent all day saturday going through both scenarios in RE 2 😂
 

I'm all about the physical releases, I do have spotify for digital only stuff, stuff you can't really get on disc anymore and previewing otherwise interesting stuff. But yeah if I like something, will always buy it physically if possible. There are still a lot of people who like physicals, I know guys who literally have thousands of CDs or are vinyl only guys. But yeah, think it's slightly younger generations are consuming everything digitally these days. Or people who don't want their houses cluttered with thousands of CDs and Vinyls. But actually, I love looking through my CD racks looking for something to put on, sometimes you get that "man, haven't heard that in ages, will slap that on now!" have a look at the artwork and that, takes ya back. haha.

I've completely given up on hoping that anyone in a 200KM radius of me even knows wtf VK is.
