Man they're ugly, especially that clown fucker.

I was agree of splitting until I read this. The original reason why I want to split the forum is just because sometimes it is anoying to see a mix of many generes, and I am into Visual Kei only. BUT, As the cons says, it will be annoying for people who really likes a mix of generes to be checking every forum, and also, as Zesshoku says, there is a search bar. Inb4 vk is not a genre

Personally I think the download forum should stay as it is. Nowadays there are many bands that would be hard to split between VK and non-VK, would you post them in both categories? For example, where would you place this band: T4vtn5yfrZk They have a "visual" look and music that could fit in either category. They also play concerts with both VK and non-VK bands, so you can't choose by that. This is just one example, but many examples exist. There are also plenty of electronic artists that have a "visual" look too, but are certainly not VK.

Totally want this... but hard to justify that price for 5 songs :/ Now if they released the whole 21 song live on DVD then I'd gladly pay more than that price.

Ex-Amber Bullet vocalist? Instantly interested.

*sigh* if only ;(

According to my friend, they're going to be releasing a new single called #. They also announced a nation-wide tour for October and a live in Taipei.

Yeah, like multiple times. They break up every other month, so get used to it.

According to www.bessitsu.com they're just going to be announcing a country-wide tour. I guess it's possible that they'll announce a cd or something too though. I've got a friend who's going to the concert, so I'll totes have her fill me in on the announcement and post it here if nobody beats me to it.

According to わか's latest blog entry DANGER☆GANG will be reviving soon. The new member's details have not yet been announced, but I'm sure they will be soon. Personally I'm super glad to hear this news. I'm assuming the new members will probably just be the same ones that have been playing with them in their ダミーデイジー session band, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

A VK band now has the name of what sounds to be a game that would come free on a cellphone or something XD Oh and googling that name just leads to a ton of flash games and info about the pokemon move of the same name... classic

That sucks At least they still have LEN. The band started with only him as the vocalist and they were still really good during that time.

More tragic than D'espairsRay

Hmm... too bad about the recovery. Maybe if he actually went to go see a fucking doctor instead of hoping that fake treatments will help with a throat condition. I mean seriously? He thinks his throat condition will go away by sticking needles in himself, aligning his spinal cord or by exercising(that's the best description I could get of Qigong)? There's a reason that medical doctors specializing in the throat exist ;/

Old news. Was already posted like a month or two ago by Tombe(probably).

I have no idea who the vocalist is, but I love the band name Kitty-GuyZ. It's just... so perfect XD

They are back XD ...or at least they will be as of next month.

5 consecutive oneman concerts with the tickets only costing 1000 yen?? Cursing the fact that I'm not there XD luckily I hear they've got a ton of hardcore supporters, so hopefully this isn't bankrupting them.

I've been very slowly expanding my musical borders into indie, but I've got such a huge backlog of music to listen to that I rarely find the time to XD I'll try and post about some bands that I like which haven't been featured here yet. I suck at writeups though, but I'll try and post videos at least XD GREEN'S ROOM HfTETjav9hI They seem to be sorta around nowadays, but just having a few lives very far between I first found out about them through an older(2005?) indie VA that I bought on a whim. ????ト b_It90M1oUk They were posted here ages ago and I instantly loved them. It's been over 6 years since their last album though, but I'm still hoping that they'll decide to release something new since they're still around ZILcoNIA 8k4DyNUjxzI Technically they've been on a major label as of earlier this year, but I'll include them anyways XD They were my first indie band and were the band that helped me branch out more from just VK. 蟲??る??夜?? 87WfBsXTjtk Found out about this band since their vocalist was also in the band inchworm. Pretty awesome stuff as far as I can tell. I've never actually been able to find any of their cds or anywhere to buy them, but their videos on youtube are pretty amazing :v

Using Sennheiser headphones and I was only able to correctly pick out the 320kbps one as the one that sounded best. As far as my preferences go, I'm usually fine with 128+. If I have a 128 or 192 copy of a cd I like and a better quality version pops up, I'll definitely download that to replace my copy though. I've always ripped my cds at 320 since hard drives are so incredibly cheap per gig(seriously, I've recently been seeing 2TB external drives for $65 with free shipping) that space isn't an issue at all.

Yeah, the initial voting was only to get into the final 10. From there, they pick the winners(though technically all 10 get some sort of prize, but only 2 go to E3).

Well, she's in the top 10 finalists. Right now they're judging the videos, then the winners will be announced on the 31st. Thanks so much for voting though, everyone!

Ahh okay, thanks

session band "ANGRAYSE" will perform at Meguro Rock May Kan at 2011/06/12 "ANGRAYSE" members: Vo.Raya (L'eprica) Gt.シビィ(sivy) (DISH) Ba.時雨(shigure) (ex-uBuGoe) support Dr.奈良稔(nara minoru) (Delca-Delta) Nice lineup! Is this actually a session band though? L'eprica's website has it listed as Raya新??ンド(Raya New Band). According to someone I know, Sivy also talked about a "new band" during the MC of a recent live.
