The DVD is great, and Lime's live vocals are so good and his voice cracking & all the other extra flourishes he added really bring some of the songs to life like the ballads for example. 
 
The most recent song relied maybe a little bit too much on the djenty riffing for my taste. I'm still not worried about their future direction of anything and I'm sure they'll keep their character intact at least for one album. Hope he implements more of his screams and growls without the music starting to veer towards the metalcore territory. If there's anyone who can do this tastefully, it's them.

"It was fun. But there are still things that I have to do, my duty, my mission.
Maybe I've thrown away my life once, but I was saved by music and managed to survive.
Thats why, I don't know if I will be able to sing for the rest of the limited days I have, but thinking that I want to save people with music, I was able to go on till today.
I really mean it. I'm glad that I'm alive from the bottom of my heart, but please, let me keep singing"

the birth of mumble kei, a true visionary

yeah, I don't think the problem is the music per se, but it's the mixing/production. it sounds muddled, loud, cheap and messy at the same time. I'd probably like it had they had more money to put into their recording process.

They are really on a tear right now. A couple of their recent singles got picked up by Family Mart radio, so it was being played around konbinis all over Japan and that really helped them. I think every show from the last tour, plus 雨の日, sold out. Keep it going, guys! Just give me a 2nd album next year, ok?

Their new single 「死んじゃったポチの話」(Shinjatta Pochi no hanashi) will be released on 2019.03.20. Their DVD LIVE will be released at the same date.
The single will be about pets being abandoned. 
 
 

You never know, on the World Tour 2016 they played Chizuru and everyone was SHOOK!
 
I think we’ve got a chance of hearing a track or two from NIL judging from Phase 02 setlists, in particular ‘Namaatatakai ame to zaratsuita jounetsu’ has been performed most sets, so I hope we get to hear that! 

this is so random and so cool lmao only in VK you can see an oshare and a metal band come together
 
love them both and wish this could be a long-time side project with actual music out

That was my exact reaction!!!! 😂😭 They usually just go to LA, NY, and Chicago/Seattle. I’m surprised they’re coming back to Dallas!!!

WAT THEY'RE GONNA BE IN DALLAS??????

I found out that the song was already translated after I did about the half of the translation, so. Well, I tried to translate as close to the original text as I can, so there are some differences.
Suggestions and corrections would be appreciated〜

those vocals are horrible. I can't believe y'all stan this guy lmao
tracks sound super one note and uninspired too, yikes

This is huge, the production behind the music video and just the insane amount of energy they give off surpasses many bands that have been doing this for years. Really excited to hear more from them.
 
Also can we talk about how filthy that breakdown was  jesus christ !!!!! 

this is what classic visual kei songs are made of. these guys are absolutely masterful.
perhaps I'm jumping the gun a little bit and that's okay, but this one has everything to going down in history as one of the VK greats.

buying this DVD 100%.
 
they had only 3 oneman lives and their 4th oneman was in Zepp Tokyo. Insane. 

Can we just stop and think about how a band as young as kizu is delivering this kind of energy and quality. 

JUST WOW the energy in this is insane ❤️

Hey guys! It's been quite a while since I posted here, and I hope people hear me out and read this whole thread. First I'll introduce myself,  I'm known by some people here as Yasu, and I was a moderator quite some time ago, briefly, by the name of Yasupon.  I wouldn't say I was the best moderator of all time, but I left a mark on the community during the time I was around due to my activity within the social aspect of the site (mostly within the minichat, last.fm, and tt.fm areas). I was probably well known for having written comments on every indie band on last.fm, but yeah enough about me. 
 
So as you all know, the visual kei scene is extremely niche; I can personally say that I've never met a single visual kei fan irl by pure chance. The reason I joined this forum many years ago on my former account was because I wanted to meet other visual kei fans, because of course, meeting them in person is almost impossible. I really enjoyed this forum, and for a while I was a minichat regular, as that was the best social outlet for me to make friends and express myself as a part of this community. We had many regulars whom would use the minichat actively, including myself, Biopanda, Haunted Jealousy, Senedjem, Zesshoku, CAT5, Furik, and plenty of others.
 
So somewhere around 2013, drama struck me, and I left this community while I still held a moderator position. It was honestly ridiculous, and I don't want to talk about it because it was truly quite silly, but I left without a word (what an immature teen I was), and two years later I returned to see that the minichat was no longer what it had used to be. The minichat was barren, and it wasn't as active as before. Soon afterward, I discovered that MH actually had its own discord server, which had been started by OriginalSaku (whom I believe is still a moderator here?), however that discord group wasn't promoted very actively, and ultimately went inactive.
 
I am writing this thread because one of my biggest passions in life is to make friends with other visual kei fans, and with the minichat being inactive for quite some time now, the discord group not really being a paramount cornerstone for the community, and no other discord groups filling the void that I sought after, I took it in my own hands to create what I had been so desperately looking for, so I did. I run a server which is currently called "J-Music Community" which is focused primarily on two things: visual kei, and social interaction. Our goal is to bring people together to discuss the music, and just have fun together. 
 
We have custom roles, custom colors, voice channels, a j-music and general radio, and many 'channels' for members to use as a means to discuss various topics of interest, and I would be extremely honored to have members of this community to join, and try us out. Our members are friendly, and most are quite mature. We currently have 175 members, and most of them joined only within the past week alone. I have been advertising very passionately all over the internet because that's how much I care about bringing visual kei fans together.
 
If anyone would be willing to at least give us a shot, I'll supply the link right here: https://discordapp.com/invite/wE56xDx
 
If this thread is considered advertising, then of course, I apologize. I intend to create conversation, so this is not solely about driving traffic to the server. A dialogue concerning visual kei fans and unifying them is the premise of this thread as well, because it appears that we're a very niche group, yet we're quite divided from my perspective, and it saddens me a bit. Last.fm has died down over the years, and other community websites dedicated to VK I feel have died down as well, so my goal has been to basically attempt to change that single-handedly to revolutionize things a bit. 

Their first album will  be called "荊海"(Jingai ) and will be sold during their first live on 2019.01.12. (250 copies) You can pre-order it via LINE as of 2018.12.01.
