I find it very entertaining that Kyo and I have the same height but he's a ripped short king so he could probably punch the head right off my shoulders. A lot of the Kusomen seem like crafty fighters so I dunno if I wanna risk losing a limb or smth just to try and teach 'em a lesson. I will however take on Keiosu from GLAMSCURE, I bet I could break his tooth pick arms in half, punch that smug look right off his face, tackle his spleen into smithereens, and get a lil' revenge for Kyouka. Also, I'd wanna fight Gackt's ratcheted ass but he's so plastic that if you cut him, he doesn't bleed, his skin just parts like a wax dummy. I think you have to throw him into a fire pit or leave him out in the hot sun in order to win.

My first foray into LAREINE and tbh this is great! Kamijo really is my fave.

This is some store brand clearance MUCC  without the benefit of the guitarist having a good solo 💀

i put google auto-translate on so the whole board shows in japanese, and then i have one of my many japanese twink harem slaves read the posts aloud to me while i sit in my throne and decide which beloved band will be disbanding today
 
(i have a desktop with some mid-tier pc speakers but i mostly use my headphones, ATH-M50s, so as not to annoy my roommates. when i'm out on walks i just use generic earbuds and my phone)

My prayers have been answered!
 
HEEEEIYAAAIYOIYAIYOIYAIYAAAAAAaaaaa
 

Okay so i haven't heard any MUCC before despite knowing they exist so my view is as unbiased as you can possibly get.
 
1: yelling stinky made me laugh pretty hard tbh
 
2: the growly part is cool but i think he's trying to do growls he can't quite do anymore but I could put this in my shuffle.  You can tell most obviously when he yells crack over and over
 
3:good gods this is seven minutes long lmao  I'm torn between hey this is cool and 'lmao yikes', leaning towards hey this is cool.  There's a part where he sounds really manic and it's p cool.
 
4: this sounds like some stuff i listened to in high school, in a "'member 2005?  MUCC members." way lmao. overall i liked it though.  
 
5: i think the vocalist sounded really good in this song tbh.  
 
6: idk if this is a new song or a precious, favored classic so I'm refraining from saying anything just to be safe lmao.  When i say that i know fuckall about this group, I really mean it.  All i know is that the vocalist is bizarrely super hot to me lmao.  It's the glasses, he's so cute.
 
7:  this wasn't bad but it seems like what plays in the background during a high school weab sleepover at 3am lmao
 
8:eh it's alright. 
 
9: hey another band I've never listened to!  The guest completely dominates the song also wtf the part at like 2:15-2:25ish made me howl w laughter.  The guitar solo is cool.  The synth...is there.
 
10:  he sounds super duper nasal in this one wow.  Other than that it was perfectly okay.
 
11:  this is pretty good! Like something i would never seek out myself but I would listen to it if a friend who liked vkei linked this lmao.
 
12:  another perfectly okay song, pretty catchy actually.
 
13: this sounds like an anime ending theme...You know the one, with the girl standing on a cliff with the wind whipping her perfectly coiffed hair around, but just a tiny bit. also i definitely noticed that he couldn't quite hit the high note at 1:11.  I liked the guitar solo.
oh honey gold star for trying so hard to hit those high notes 🌟
 
14:  not bad! I'm curious about the original.
 
15:  i really liked the screams in this one tbh, particularly the first one.  Another one where i really liked the guitar solo. The piano riff got old very quickly tbh.
 
16:   i mean it's not bad, gives me big winter vibes.
 
Overall, this was...well, it was a foray into a band I'm unfamiliar with that I want to listen to more of.  2.5/5 imo.  I'll likely not listen to this again but it was a perfectly alright soundtrack to me making and then eating samyang spicy noodles and lurking reddit, yet i know nothing from this will stick.  Am I in the know yet?

Many VK bands are  doing online lives and 25/40$ is the common price depending on the band's popularity. The current situation is very difficult for bands at the moment since they can't have lives (or they can but with so many restrictions, that's such a pain in the ass), and they need money. Since we finally can help them by buying their online lives... (and it's cheaper than a DVD) I'm willing to give my money to all my fav bands to suport them. 

My first foray into LAREINE and tbh this is great! Kamijo really is my fave.

Been thinking about this drawing since the beginning of the year. I've been missing nature:
 

 
Closeups:
 

Satsuki had his own share of drama ( which you can read here )
  Now, I don't know anything about Sana. Except for his touring is similar to Satsuki's (Baltic countries, Ukraine and e.t.c.) Similar level of desperation, I guess?

Here I go logging in for the first time in (like...) six months. I've made it a (painful, admittedly) project to scan in all of my magazines in full and have them available for download. The reason being, a) it's cool to have images and know where/when they're from and b) I think it'll be good for newer fans especially to see where bands they know came from/the culture at the time. I tend to get slightly frustrated when people seem to completely rip bands apart from their context or not really be aware of the wider culture at the time.
 
I'm putting this up on a blogspot (please enjoy my very marketable skill in web design) and here's the links. I'll add some previews to this post (they'll be quite small, apologies).
The next one I'm scanning is volume 29. I need to put up volume 15 too; the scans are each about 2GB (zipped) so it's for the very dedicated. Enjoy !
 
from vol. 5: 


 
 
from vol. 8:

Wait wtf.
Kisaki&Satsuki and Sana&Hiroaki announcement in the same day?

The only thing mana smokes is fat goth doobies of primo quality cemetery w e e d

Has anyone checked in on Gackt recently? This guy is out here giving out f*nger*ng instructions set to his music on youtube with not a care in the world. 
 
The creepy old man phase is complete

Man I'm so ready to be off again.  It's been okay but I just wanna lay on my couch and play video games u kno

Imagine going on a date with a girl and tricking her into thinking that you speak French just by saying a bunch of VK band names like it's a sentence.
 
Lareine Versailles? emmurée. Moi dix Mois, Baiser, L'arc en Ciel. Noir Fleurir... Noi'x.

I like the fancy lad look and everyone looks great but the crown Midorikawa is wearing seems a bit cheap imo.  That aside, i'm curious about what this new look will bring them bc I like gosan.

(*_*)//
Aaaa finally announced!~ 
 

 
btw the logo has been created by the vocalist in collaboration with me. He made a sketch and I made it digital  
Anyway details will be announced at 2020-01-16 20:00 JPT
 
 
Some people here will gotta get horny that date

But that turn out is amazing though!!! And I loved this song too haha

imagine: you wake up with a notification that zigzag uploaded a wholeass mv and you wait until you have your headphones on to soak in their greatness, bc they're awesome and you love them and you hear this.
I'm not mad.  just disappointed and sad that they probably aren't going to release a proper metal song again since it seems like they're chasing that anime opening sound now instead of what  made them the best new band I'd heard. 
 
Re Mikoto's new look: this is probably waaaaay less heavy and hot than their last look but he might as well ditch the wig like they ditched their sound lmao

Hey welcome to the forum! I love Royz tbh

I've been doing a writing project and I was listening to Kamijo on spotify and he's actually super good and if I hadn't been so into angura back in the day I would have enjoyed following him and Versailles ;3;
But that also made me realize that his sound is Mana, elevated lmao and I'm down with that.  It's not that I dislike Mana but holy hell you can tell what his ego did to M10M, and how unwilling he is to entertain change.  It's a bit sad really, since a lot of other musicians his age have evolved and turned into something better while he's still there, with his dark tea parties and fluffy, extremely expensive dresses, still unspeaking.
