@nomemorial I really don't think any other band in the world has ever done what Kagrra, accomplished with their first four mini-albums, for example. There'll never be songs that come even close to things like "幻惑の情景", "刹なる言葉", "鬼遊の唄", "鵺の哭く頃", "碧の葬列" and "夢イズル地". Not to mention they were all super young at that time too (all of them were in their early 20s iirc). They were incredible.

[gozen] remains one of the best vk debut albums of all time.

regardless of anything, seeing a small group like this here talking about Kagrra, makes me happy. ❤️so thanks y'all 🖤

@Paraph I find that somewhat ironic considering that they're all Japanese. In any case, I'm glad they stuck to their style. It's really made them one of my all time favorite bands.
 
@saishuu Same here! I don't find many Kagrra, fans, so it's nice to know there is a small community of us here ^^
 
@nomemorial Exactly. Bands like them really make the VK scene shine. I really appreciate the gravity and the themes they tackled in their songs. And the beautiful imagery in the lyrics are very much enhanced by the amazing instrumentals. Listening to their releases never gets tiring.

I've been on this "revisiting discographies" kick these past few weeks and started from the beginning of Kagrra,'s stuff last night. They really started on all cylinders - their songwriting is so unique and unlike anything I've ever heard, even on the early releases. One of those bands that I want to show to people who don't dig/get VK and just force them to listen so they can understand why they're so great.

didn't they say in a really old interview that other bands made fun of them for their traditional kimono-style appearance when they initially started? i'd say given the success that they did have, hopefully they were proud. looking back now, kagrra, were on a whole other level compared to many other vk acts.

I still remember Isshi saying how surprised he was that their last your was selling out given how they rarely did so. Ugh I still get sad about this and it's been 9 fucking years.

well they clearly felt like shit since their populalarity was fairly low

Agreed. Still makes me freaking sad that Isshi said that. If I could have, I would definitely attended their lives to help them out because they deserved more recognition. One of the biggest disadvantages of being a VK fan overseas ;w;

It's hard to say how they felt, but I think it was clear that they enjoyed what they did and dedicated much time to perfecting their craft. I think it's such a shame they weren't more popular because they put a lot of thought into every single aspect of their music and the releases they produced - lyrics, music, cover art, costumes, names, etc. They really deserved more =\

big agree on both points above - band was one of a kind. kudos to them for putting out as much quality material as they did considering their popularity level.

gossip is my favorite because it could be emo as fuck sometimes and I fuck with that kind of music the most, but Verxina being messy is over the top is exactly what draws me to them as well. to each their own
