Last year it was announced that Silver-Rose will make his comeback, however not with the old line-up.
Vocalist YOWMAY restarted the band with 4 new members. 
 
Gt. Zoo
Gt. YOU-K
Ba. KAPPY
Dr. ShuLa
(check vkgy for their band history)
 
Joined along to raise up Silver-Rose again!

Actually the band should restarted this year with a nice tour around Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, sadly due covid-19 this tour plan has moved to next year.
Yet the 2nd live of the band will be (hopefully) on August 1st. 
 

 
And maybe an interesting thing is... even if 99% of their fanbase see them as Visual Kei, they still refuse to call themselves Visual Kei.
More about that reason you can discover in their upcoming interview which I will publish on July 16th!  Look forward to it!

Hi everyone, some of you may already know me but for those that don't, my name is Cinny.
I've been into visual kei for almost five years now, I was introduced through Miyavi, but the first band I listened to was SULFURIC ACID.
My background is punk, so by nature most of my favorite bands are from the beginnings or proto (Extasy, Free-Will, Anarchist Records). This is my favorite period because I feel like it contained the most soul and creativity, I'm generally not into many modern bands but I still enjoy listening, I like seeing a newer band with innovation because it feels fresh for the scene.
I've always felt that I've had a personal relation and connection to Visual Kei since I learned about it and heard some great old school bands for the first time. Making an introduction here is long overdue for me, I hope I can get along well with everyone and have nice talks!
 
These are some bands I like the most, I also love a lot of more obscure music, I can be put into a 90s or Kote fan category.
Dué le quartz
COLOR
妃阿甦
X/X JAPAN
SEX-ANDROID
THE DEAD P☆P STARS
SISTER'S NO FUTURE
かまいたち
MALICE MIZER
SEX VIRGIN KILLER
AION
ect.
 
Nice to meet you all  🐸

Hi, my name is hiko.
 
I’ve been a fan of Visual Kei for a really long time now, many years, but I have always listened to Jrock anyway
 
I am from Japan, though Japanese is not my first language as I’ve always been bilingual with English and Japanese
 
I am a big fan of X JAPAN, and for X I’d say I idolise Yoshiki and Taiji the most.
 
I also like L’Arc~en~Ciel, I have been their fan ever since I was a child.
 
I have been to various Jrock concerts, though I can’t go to many since I live on an Island in south Japan (Awaji Island) and am unable to travel
 
But some of the Jrock concerts I have been to are:
HYDE x5
VAMPS x2 
Dir en grey x1 
the GazettE x1
L’Arc~en~Ciel x3
Plastic Tree x4 
 
My actual name is Hideko (it sounds like a grandma name so hiko is cooler) 

You can send me a message whenever you want!
 

I have been laughing at this video for the past five minutes what is wrong with me
 

OH SH*T! OH GAWD! OH C*ZZO!
I got it this time too. (Last time it was the Mc Donald collaboration)
 
Follow my *mumbles something intelligible*  for more foresights over Yoshiki's future money/attentiongrabs!!

before and after reading the super ultra BIG announcement.........what was i even expecting from yoshiki? lol

I can't stop listening to this iconic jam. The PV is absolute sensory overload and I love it 
 

To financially help livehouse Meguro ROCKMAYKAN (and also to commemorate its 40th anniversary), a special compilation album titled "鹿鳴館伝説" (ROCKMAYKAN densetsu) will be released. The omnibus was produced by KISAKI and it features a whopping 50 bands, providing a pretty serious overview of the '90s underground VK scene.
 
The release can be ordered from 2020/07/20 through the livehouse's webshop, and they will start sending it out around 2020/08/10.
 

 
Honestly, this looks MIGHTY FINE.

You always want beauty, envy, and exclusive love that can last forever.
The desire is boundless...
You should look at the selfish greed in your dreamy heart.

まほう よ まほう この じかん を えいえん に して
 
Please don't leave me alone
ずよく だいて ともしび が きえ ない よう に
Even if it's a lie... ずっと こうして いたい。。。
 
かざる わたし の すべて を
「みつめて ください」
ゆめ の よう なこ の しゅんかん に
だれか らも あいされたい
「しせん を ください」
つめたい その まなざし

ちかずき とき わ ながれて
 
この まま しせん の うず おぼれて
あなた と おどり たい の
まちじゅう の どけい くる わせて おくよ
だから こにゃ わ そば に いさせて。。。

The exciting announcement is going to be a new CM or something isn't it

Hard to choose as I really like them all but I picked Rommel, been listening to them a lot Lately.

We're just that racist around here ✌️

me: i wanna see miyavi
mom: we have miyavi at home
 
miyavi at home:
 

I don't think it's physically possible to take a cute fan photo with Ryutarou, all you can get is what looks like a cranky Asian emo who got mistaken for an L cosplayer at the mall posing with you because he's too shy to say no

 

Oh wow. That song is really good.

A 卍 band I've been listening recently to is marry an blood. They didn't have the aesthetic going on all the time though, and it was mostly the singer who wore the uniform.

Also UnsraW had the nazi thing going on with all the members for a while.

Maybe Rosenfeld. So badass. But I haven't listened to Harkenkreuz yet I'll probably like I have the biggest soft spot for thrash/speed

Hard to choose as I really like them all but I picked Rommel, been listening to them a lot Lately.

Aw man, that edgy old school speed/thrash stuff, good times. It's a tie between Rommel and Rosenfeld for me. I enjoyed both Pigs of the Empire [Rosenfeld] and ROMMEL a lot, I can't choose!
