MEJIBRAY died so that Hueye could live.

Well, the gimmick is that they are still trying to become human, right? I think the idea with the illustrations is that the "transformation" is only temporary and once they officially "become human" then they'll probably show more regular pics?
 
Still Team Dinosaur over here, btw. Whether it's boy bands or dating sims, I've always gotta pick the edgy one or the rapper.
 
Disappointed that Jake talks normally in their latest cartoon video though. Was hoping he'd awkwardly keep the incoherent grunting going even in human form.
 
 
In this video, I believe it says that they've gathered enough karma for a quick transformation, but then they turn back because they don't have enough. However, "Kami-sama" tells them that the camera will magically turn any cheki they take into pictures of them in human form, so I guess you can buy cheki of the actual guys from now on?

from the left we got your 4 choices: 
1. the one that's prettier than you, has one and a half expressions and would generously let you shine his shoes (terminally allergic to emotions)
2. the gentleman leader with a kind smile, who might either turn out exactly as he seems or he might be a serial killer
3. the short smartass who looks 13 but is most likely into hardcore BDSM
4. the stereotypical bad boy, who gets uncharacteristically flustered and has a heart of gold despite his dark past™
 
I'd play it~

lyrics are violent and aggressive.
 

Yeah, when I saw them last year he was really struggling with those high screeches but otherwise good performance so no real compaints from me. But tbh, I wouldn't expect someone to be able to pull those off flawlessly every time. lol. But from what I can tell from their latest releases that Sho is stepping away a bit from all the grunting and screeching and focusing a lot more on actual singing so maybe he's already aware he's fucking his voice up so is trying to calm it down a bit. 

+ On the topic of him being a Kyo clone, I don't really agree that he's a clone at all. Only thing that's really similar is he goes for the same kind of range, mixing up the gutturals, screams and clean singing, but that could be said for a lot of V Kei vocalists surely? Doesn't make them a clone of Kyo for using different vocal styles, I welcome it in fact, a vocalist who doesn't have any variation can be pretty monotonous and tiresome to listen to.

Haha this thread is gold. I'm with the guy/girl who said they're happy they stay away from the fandom and just happy enjoying the music and not getting involved in all the weird drama. Only thing I really would say is a lot of V Kei fans in general I've seen at live shows in Japan and overseas seem pretty weird and immature (everyone here seems pretty safe though, so not firing any shots at anyone) like they just turn 10/15 younger and start acting like over-excited hyper babies and it's really pathetic to see. Always nice to see people having a good time, but they're so OTT it's properly cringey. For example, at one Dir show I was standing behind a girl who appeared to be on her own, she was quite short and I'm quite tall so just happened to notice what she was writing on her phone as she was texting a friend. Conversation starts off fairly normal "just got to the gig, am at the front woop, woop" that kind of thing, "I bought a load of merch woop woop" also pretty normal, (here i'll add she's clearly not an experienced gig go-er as she brings her massive ass backpack and puts it on the floor in front of her at the front of a show.... (got to be kidding right? Nope, haha) and anyway, things start getting weird when I then notice a message as obviously I wasn't watching everything she was writing as got talking to some people around, "How do I confess my love to Kaoru from the second row of the audience?" and then kept bad mouthing his wife saying she's a "gremlin" and that Kaoru should be with her instead, keeping in mind she was also very young, no older than 18 I'm sure..... But even still, a lot of V Kei fans seem this obsessed and it's so cringe it almost hurts. haha. I've been involved in music for around 20 years and mixed with all kinds of audiences and played in loads of bands of varying styles etc and ONLY seen this ridiculous behaviour at V Kei shows. Obviously the odd weirdo will appear anywhere so not saying all other genres you don't get weirdos but yeah, V Kei has a pretty creepy fanbase. lol.

I think most vocalists, if they've been around long enough, will end up sounding different from the beginning. 
If they start young especially, since your voice usually matures quite a bit going from your 20's into your 30's. If you take Takeru from Clack inc., his tone and style isn't that dramatically different from what he used to sound like in EVE, but the voice itself has definitely matured in an almost 10-year gap. 
 
However, if you take Yuu in the Zodia days, his style, tone and technique is extremely different compared to what he sounds like nowadays. That to me is more of a conscious change rather than natural evolution , since back in the day he was heavily inspired by Jonathan Davis' vocal style and that fit the nu metal vibe of Zodia pretty well. Then in Ultimate Sonic, Affective Synergy etc. he has a more "classic" vk approach, also his vocal technique has overall improved a lot throughout the years and it shows. That isn't to say that his style in Zodia was "bad", not at all, it was really unique and his growls there are some of the best out there imho. But yeah, if you compare Zodia to Ultimate Sonic it doesn't even sound like the same person (unless you know it is) 
 
Another one whose vocal evolution has been a conscious one rather than natural evolution is Mahiro. If you listen to his previous bands before Kiryu, you'll see how much his overall sound and style has changed. His vocals in Kiryu are very polarizing, some hate it and some love it (personally I'm not the biggest fan, even though I can commend him for being good at what he does), but if you compare it to what he used to sound like in Madara you'll be able to tell that these it's a heavily crafted, specific style he's going for rather than his "natural" way of singing. He went from sounding like your run-of-the-mill vk vocalist to one of the most unique and recognizable voices in the scene and an irreplaceable element to Kiryu's sound. 
 
Tl;dr: most vocalists are bound to change their style throughout the years, whether it's natural evolution (or devolution) or conscious change. But most likely, if they've been around for long enough, no one will stay the same. 
It is definitely interesting to highlight and analyze the differences though. 

I would have liked this if his voice wasn’t so high pitched and nasally. Bummer 😕

So with DEG announcing a US tour I was just reminded of this girl who ran a Vkei panel at a local anime convention here once. I thought she seemed cool, but all she talked about was Gackt and his personal drama, then she talked about the one time DEG came to Utah and how she sort of stalked them at the mall and was so 'mad that Kyo didn't come out to socialize with them'. 
 
If I knew there were fans out there like her, which he most likely does, if I were Kyo I'd NEVER go out.

Do someone remember the one gokiburi stan who farted on cam, uploaded to YouTube and sent to Yuuga, hoping he'd like it? 
I don't remember her name or channel (thank god tbh). I wonder if her videos are still on YouTube... 

Welp. This thread makes me grateful that I pretty much stay in my own lane and avoid other vkei fans anywhere but on MH.

ayo peeps! this is my first post on here. so, i wanted to discuss creepy, obsessive fans... annoying fans... everything of that !  recently i discovered a annoying and oblivious fan, who keeps claiming ruki as her husband (despite him saying before he does NOT wish to marry.) earlier i tried pointing out her problems and attempting to get her to stop as her statements claiming to be ruki’s wife are FALSE. she sends Ruki selfies daily, via Instagram. she also apparently comments inappropriate things in his posts? she photoshops her with him. she blocked me lol. have you guys ever dealt with fans like this? these types of fans are what make is foreign fans look like shit. can y’all share you opinions and stories with other people like this?

I would have liked this if his voice wasn’t so high pitched and nasally. Bummer 😕

the band name made me click this thread. 

an iconic visual kei band: goes through with their long awaited return and seemingly to their former style of music by extension as well

Idk why so determined to prove that Hizumi’s project is crap based on the encore, did he hurt you or something? Lol.

I understood you! I do agree with the fact that we barely have time to breathe and enjoy each release. Hell, I've barely listened to anything from them thoroughly since Noroi Uta lmao
I just think it's better to keep churning out releases for as long as they can. Bands life spans are so short that I don't mind getting a shit ton of music in a short period. It's not like I won't have the time to enjoy it throughout the year, you know.
