Haven't found a really 'unique' sounding VK band among the newer ones, they sound mostly same-ish to me, but that's okay cuz most of the older bands sounded same-ish too to a certain extent, in their own time (even tho I liked that 'sameyness' more than the current young generation, if that makes sense).
 
That said, I'm enjoying Verxina, Rands, DIMLIM (if they count as newer) and to some extent Mamireta out of the more recent bunch of bands. Can't rationally describe why, it's just down to very little things, like the vocals in Verxina (cuz otherwise they are Basic New-Kei Band #2363) or the whole '90s throwback aesthetic and sound of Rands.

That new toe sounds sweet!
 
Y'all both got the wrong song from Chedoara though... the last minute/outro riff of "愛憎につき..." might be my favorite part of a song from this year so far.
 
 
 

I have noticed a lot of people talk about how all the new vk groups sound the same or are copying older groups, but no one ever talks about the unique or more interesting sounding new vk groups. What are your fav new vk groups?  And I mean new as in they have only been around a couple years or less lol 😜
 My favorite newer group is probably kizu, I think their concepts are interesting and I find them over all intriguing

I don't find Mia's face appealing at all. To me he is a good example of plastic surgery gone wrong. His face looks so unnatural and stiff, in some photoshoots it often reaches the maximum of the uncanny valley 

Fucking groupies is basically the norm in any rock music scene, so it's pretty ridiculous that there's so much overwhelming opposition when these band guys, who are btw making themselves as sexually appealing to the women in their audience as possible, are actually fucking the women in their audience. Like maybe I am missing the point, but isn't that kind of the point? I love visual kei, but hell if I'll ever understand it...

In the Visual Kei scene, musicians are already receiving the boot over the smallest of things (i.e. having sex, sharing pictures online, texting with fans, etc.) Those bangya are relentlessly cruel and vicious and are ready to strike down anyone who steps out of that 'dream-like' appearance that these guys must have. They aren't treated as human beings; they are being stalked and harassed and anyone who participates in this kind of obsessive behaviour needs a reality check. I have never been so shocked by a musician's behaviour that I found it necessary to shun them or made attempts to ruin their reputation or lives. They are people — people are faulty and no one is an exception.

DAMY and Vexent played together quite often, didn't they? Kind of interesting that they announced their disbandment on the same day. I wonder if some of their members will come back together in new bands.

Starting the year with a massive vk wipe 😕
