Lol, I was coming here to post about the guy from Hypnosis Mic. I dunno, I think his song sounds VK enough, because Leetspeak monsters wrote it, and it basically just sounds like Leetspeak monsters with some other dude singing. I like that they made the rose petals blow across the screen only for his preview in the trailer. That's 100% VK. 🤣
 
 

I guess what I can offer here is the anime or well, almost to become an anime Hypnosis Mic lol They have this character called 14th Moon who's the vocalist of a visual kei band 

 
But tbh, when I heard his voice and the song he made it didn't feel vkei enough for me lol buuuutttt tbh, the way they portrayed his personality lol it almost feels vkei bwuahahaha
 
another one I just saw on youtube a couple of days ago is that some German guy apparently made a documentary about SCREW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u00NUkd6xdc
 
It's just so fucking wild man, I think vkei in a way was pretty popular in Germany at some point in time lol
 
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about Uchusentai Noiz participating in a contest here in the Philippines called "I love OPM(original pinoy music)"
here's a clip of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3emU07eTKg
 
I remember them calling fuel play or like, saying the contest was rigged and  unfair because judges chose some half-ass talented half-pinoy half-western guy who abides by the western beauty standards and has abs. A lot of people said the band was treated unfairly here lol
 
I remember Alice Nine was also featured in a documentary show here in the Philippines but, I can't find any clips of it now n youtube lol it was around 2012 if I remember correctly

Shintaro and Wataru seem like obvious choices. Because having sex with underage girls and strangling a woman until her neck bleeds are on a whole different shitty level from doing drugs and stealing money. 
 
And i think Yoshiki should be on this list for being a self-centered scam artist. 

So today I attended the  「MY little HEARTS. Tour Edition Vol.14」event. We went very early to avoid any troubles like the last time...
There were 8 bands on the the schedule which roughly played 15~30 minutes each. I went mainly because of gulu gulu and Mother but I‘m always curious to find some new bands so I watched every show.
 
I will describe the shows of gulu gulu and Mother in detail, the other ones as a blind review as I heard no songs of them before. So please don‘t feel offended if I‘m not writing not overwhelming positive about your favorite band.
 
February 24, 2020 - 「MY little HEARTS. Tour Edition Vol.14」with gulu gulu / ザアザア / 極東ロマンス / Chanty / -真天地開闢集団-ジグザグ / マザー / SCAPEGOAT / モンストロ - Osaka Big CAT
 
The event took place at Osaka Big cat, a familiar name. It is located in a shopping mall in a cool and fashionable district. The venue was a big and good aired room with an estimated capacity of 800~1000 people. 
 
モンストロ (Monstllow)
 
The official starting time was 5 o‘clock but Monstllow started half an hour earlier as the opening act. The venue was packed from the very beginning and the curtain opened for the first time. Some hesitated cheering started and Monstllow entered the stage. They played only two very chaotic songs. The crowd was not impressed and the curtain closed again after 15 minutes. But they did their all to excite the crowd and I‘m pretty sure they will gain fans soon. 
I liked their show but they had too less time to shine. 
 
gulu gulu
 
The curtain closed again and a soundcheck started. Excitement spreaded as the gulu gulu fans recognized the guitar tones and rushed to the front. So gulu gulu is starting that early? Someone told me that it is very common for Taibans that one of the bigger bands starts early to excite the crowd. 
So I was hyped as fuck as I REALLY wanted to see gulu gulu. 
The curtain opened and the crowd exploded! It was clear that many attendees came for them.
The band looked mostly like on the latest promo pics but Mei had like a school outfit with a cute red satchel which he had on his back for the whole concert. 
They sadly played only four songs. The first two where unreleased. I can tell you: look forward to their next release, the songs were awesome!
Next was Merry go round - fucking brutal omg!
The last one was Mazui masui, also great. 
Mei throw his satchel away and they left the stage. Felt like the concert lasted 5 minutes.
I’m really curious to the future of the band as they grown really popular in a very short time. 
 
極東ロマンス (Kyokutō romansu)
 
As my main act was over so soon I was excited what came next. The Curtain opened and five black suited guys came out. A little group of fans screamed of excitement. But I didn‘t like their performance that much. They sounded like Glay for the poor lol. Anyways they played their 20 minutes set and the curtain closed again. 
 
マザー (Mother)
 
The curtain opened and their was a beamer installed which throw the Mother logo at a canvas. Yay! I love the somewhat mysterious story of the band. If you didn‘t follow their debut: The aliases of the members are four animals which are transformed to a human form to collect spirit from the audience at their shows. The looks of the members are not published yet so I was curious how they were presented on the stage. The Beamer showed a little movie in the style of their YouTube videos and then the band entered. They looked great - didn‘t expect this! Their songs were pretty hard and their stage presence was awesome. They definitely gained stage experience before as they acted like veterans. They even gave us some fanservice lol. I‘m pretty curious how far this band will go as they definitely have a marketing concept. 
 
Neat little extra: We met them outside after the show and talked to them. They even recognized us as they spotted us big gaijins from the stage while their show. 😅 They took a nice picture with us.

SCAPEGOAT
 
the next band was Scapegoat. The name is familiar to me but I never dared to listen to them. There were definetely many fans of them in the audience as the show was full of complicated furi. The singer brought a chair with him which he and the other members interacted with. Their style was like in the newest promo pics and suited them very well. I really liked their performance and will listen into their discography. 
 
Chanty
 
The curtain opened again but this time there was no fancy intro played but the band already stood on the stage and was presented in a red light. They started with a ballad and wow this really got me. Afterwards they played another quite song. Pretty strange to see a band entering the stage and the audience is not cheering at all because of the quite songs. But after that they delivered some faster songs and the audience did their duties. I really liked their show and will listen to them too in the future.
 
ザアザア (Xaa Xaa)
 
Band number 7 and I slowly got tired. But omg their was no time for being tired. Xaa Xaa hitted me like a train. That show was wild as hell.
I often stumbled over this band before and know that they are a thing at the moment but I never listened to them yet. This I will change right now! Wow they were so great and the crowd was unbelievable. While the curtain was closed the bassist shouted and made the crowd go wild. Then the curtain opened and the band minus the singer were already there and did some fist pumping. Then the singer made his way though the crowd and climbed on the stage. What followed was a set full of wildness on and in front of the stage. At one time we all had to move to the left side of the venue and than had to run all together from one side to the other - like a wall of death with no other side. They closed the set with a nice ballad which I didn‘t expected but it was great. After that the show was over. They gained a new fan!
 
-真天地開闢集団-ジグザグ (Zig Zag)
 
After Xaa Xaa I was really exhausted and hoped that the next show wouldn‘t be that hard. The curtain opened for a last time and a three piece band came onto the stage. What happened next was a big wtf and I‘m not able to describe at all what I did see there. 😅 
The singer had like a dog ear wig with long white hair so that it was not possible to see his eyes. The bassist had a Japanese traditional costume and the drummer looked like he was playing in Deviloof or something similar lol. The first song was a solid VK piece but what followed after was the weirdest thing I ever saw. I would explain it as a mix of DJ Ozma and Deathgaze or something similar. The crowd was loving it and I was also very entertained. They played a short set and when they abruptly stopped the Taiban was over. 
 
It was a great experience and I saw some nice new bands. I’m sorry if my report is a little bit mixed up but there were so many impressions in my head. If you have any particular questions please ask!  
 
Sadly this was the penultimate concert for this Japan trip. But Thursday will be my very highlight with seeing Luna Sea for the first time!

Send a pic of your eye without makeup and I can try to help you with the cut crease ❤️
 
To give depth to the line you could add a brighter line, like white, right above it and then try to create a shadow underneath it using a greyish brown eyeshadow with a small flat brush
Look up face painting techniques, how to make wrinkles for example, that might be helpful if you want it to look 3D!
 
As for the concealer around the lips, try different kinds of concealers. Some are very harsh on the skin. SPF is known to cause eczema for some people so try to avoid that ingredient. You could also try using a nude lipstick or lipliner that matches your skintone ❤️ You can set lipstick with powder so it will look like concealer.
 
Try nivea cream for extreme moisturizer or aloe vera gel to soothen the problematic skin ❤️ or go to the doctor. It could be Perioral Dermatitis, I have it, if you wear a lot of makeup or use strong cleansing products you can develop it. You will need tetracycline to get rid of it (antibiotics)
 
 

I tend to do vkei looks when I go to J-Fashion nights at a club by me, but I've had trouble with the cut crease and such, I've found myself resorting to an elongated cat eye sort of for it? I'm not sure if that makes any sense. I also have started to not add too much concealer around the lips purely because I'm getting eczema everywhere on my face and I might just need to super moisturize cause this flare up has been around for too long. I've been doing the line across the face lately but I wanna try adding more depth to it, I'll probably sit down w it more.

Haha I look like shit, ignore my wig, this is kind of my everyday look. I am not that visual kei anymore, I used to look more extreme when I was younger, pink and black hair with curls etc.
 
I need to upgrade my hair, but I am too lazy to get a new wig atm 😂 I want to get black and grey hair, I think
(I am the guy btw)

.

Full PV. Such a fucking BOP.  Ugh. Cock destroyers are shook.

They will wear this costume during their 5th anniversary at Ebisu LIQUID ROOM on 2019.12.03.
 

 

 

 

 

Am I going crazy or did vk bands across the board raise their prices by like 500 yen for these releases? Either way I'm probably one of the few people on this forum that's hyped for this band so I'll still buy it but jeez

Heya everyone, name's Ashe!

I've been on and off of this site for years getting information and just laughing at comments and I figured now was the perfect time to join since there's been so much new stuff. Lately I've been listening a lot to these new bands, I'm really really into ザアザア (fight me), DADAROMA, キズ, and gulu gulu. I started listening back when I found The GazettE with their Filth in the Beauty MV, which was years ago... haha. I don't listen to them as much now? Their newer stuff isn't doing it for me anymore. 

I'm really excited to see what's up for 2020 in all of this, I think it'll be cool to see how all of these bands improve. It's been fun watching these newer bands improve exponentially with each single, but it's also not always like that, and they fumble sometimes. 

Usually I like to look at instrumentals in the tracks, I'm really slow with singles and mini albums because I listen to them on loop for a day or so before I formulate my opinion. 

Either way, thanks for having me! 
Hope to have fun interacting with you all!
