Paraph

I think Malice Mizer could have released more than they did. At least there's fan versions out there of say...Tetsu era, but still. I don't think I'd ever have enough, though. Izabel Varosa I really liked. I wish they had released that damn full-length they had planned and a concert before peacing out.

I lowkey want zetsuentai to be the next PV even though I adore Followers and Aka.

I was hoping they would be like NoGoD when they first started and look awful but sound incredible...(Guren chorus...I was shook), but alas.

Not really understanding how an opinion on personal taste has more/less merit depending on how long you've been a fan and if you've been to Japan or not. I personally have been listening to this album more than anything they've put out since VULGAR/Withering, so because of that it stands out as being one of their better efforts as far as I'm concerned.

It's totally Die these days imo.

Oh god yes. I never listen to the album version of this song. I loved the single version so much, I don't know why they couldn't just leave it alone.

Most notable for me was seeing D'espairsRay at the MOD club here in Toronto. I made eye contact with ZERO and was able to headbang like mad to BORN and Reddish so it's everything I ever wanted to experience at a vk live tbh. I still haven't caught a pick or drumsticks yet, though.

Such a great band with so many bops. I think I became super into them when ROMANCE released, which is still one of my favourite songs to this day. Atsushi is also probably one of the most attractive men alive.

Same. It's bugging the shit outta me.

Can we all just take a moment to realize that KISAKI was the main face behind many of the bands he was involved in. KamiUta from Phantasmagoria literally depicts him as God. If all this is true and KISAKI really is the scum of the Earth then I don’t know about you but it makes me uncomfortable listening to or watching some of his material. It gives me serious narcissistic/sociopathic psycho vibes if all true. edit: looks like many posts were deleted so this one now lacks context and looks super random..

I've always loved the soundtracks of the anime series' Noir and Haibane Renmei. For non-anime I always go back to the Drive soundtrack.

Not exactly extremely proud, but I really like that I have the 'kagirareta koku' demotape by the band Arege. I used to always see images of one of the band members (I believe Aya) around the net when I was like 15 or 16 and thought he looked super cool but I had no idea who he was or where from. When I found out though I quickly searched around and bought it from Third Stage when it was around. Crescendo is still one of my favourite songs. Ah notable mention goes to the DVD of LAREINE's 'Chantons L'amour' Live which I scored for pretty cheap on Closet Child.

I hadn't bought anything visual kei-related for about 8 years so I kind of went a bit crazy recently collecting things I'd always wanted, but never got around to buying previously.

I was casually listening to Candy Spooky Theater the other day when I discovered Jack Spooky was still active in the scene as SpookJack.

I also don't know Shuji tbh, but Kamijo is ex. LAREINE/Versailles vocalist and MM roadie, Hitomi is Sanaka (ex. Fatima vocalist) and also MM roadie.

This is where I draw the line, though. I've never felt this way before with any artist scandal and shrugged off his tax evasion nonsense. I'm not going to turn a blind eye to scum if these allegations prove true. As much as I liked some of his music. Also, it's 4 discs total y'all, lets not assume I'm about to throw out his entire discography or something. I'm not some kind of moral elitist thinking everyone who doesn't is stupid. It's just a decision I'm making in regards to what I want represented in my collection. These allegations are no joking matter to me. There are serious long term-lifelong mental repercussions to the victims involved here if true that it makes me nauseous even thinking about it.

Uh I bought them years ago, it really makes no difference to me if he made a profit at the time of it. I’d rather not have them knowing he’s this bad of a person.

Yes, please post any updates. I've located the few albums I have of Phantasmagoria/LIN/Syndrome and I'm fully prepared to throw them in the trash where they belong if this turns out to be true.

Looking to buy VELVET EDEN demotapes if anyone is selling or might know of somewhere/some place to buy them. I used to see them pop up a lot but not having much luck.

A Wish of Monika was always one of my favourites. Along with la nostalgie de jardin...which is probably a very unpopular opinion haha. Funnily enough Billet also, and I am now overjoyed that there is a live recording in existence.

I've been away from the fandom for like a decade. I come back to Gackt backing out of MM reunion plans at Tokyo Dome, Satsuki's weird "comeback" and general dick rumours, and Kisaki's perversion. VK what is you doing.

Once upon a time Rentrer en Soi were one of my favourite bands in the game. I will delude myself and pretend this is not happening.

Whoa thanks so much. Kamijo nailed Apres Midi.
