I know there's been a couple smaller MH meetups in Finland over the years, but I don't think there's ever been anything officially organized?
 
Monochrome Heaven Cruise when????

Well, there is a VK nightclub in Sweden run by one of our staff members, @WhirlingBlack^^
 
 

I was just reminded that this exists and I feel bad now
 
 

If you haven't listened to Sou (emmuree)'s solo stuff yet you need to!

Their first single will be released on 2017.11.02. (it is likely to be a live limited release)
 
On this day, they will hold a live at 池袋BlackHole.
 
 

Strangely enough, it's the complete opposite for me with the complaints that many people seem to have about VK. Back when I used to listen to symphonic metal, I would get burnt out really quickly due to many of the bands sounding familiar. VK is the only scene that I haven't been able to get burnt out on. That's probably because the VK scene itself is composed of a near limitless number of genres. Bored of nu-metal VK? I'll go listen to some shoegazey VK. When I get burnt out on that, I'll go listen to some electronic/chiptune VK. Once I've overdosed on that I can go and listen to poppy, danceable VK etc etc. The wide breadth of sounds and styles presented in the VK scene make me really wonder how people are able to get bored with it unless they only listen to like 2 bands.

Lay that Melty Love 20th Recording Vers on me

I honestly thought that Kyon would be joining them since she mysteriously reappeared recently and even tweeted a photo of her and MARY RUE's members. To be fair though, their current drummer is only a support member, so there's a chance she could join them later?

Klubb Lunacy is one of Europe's oldest Visual Kei nightclubs, which originally ran between 2004 and 2010. After a 7 years long hiatus, I'm happy to announce that I'm the one who is carrying on the torch and together with the old owner I'm reforming it and intend to make it stronger than ever. The first date is set for 1 of September in Stockholm, Sweden. Six hours of old and new Visual Kei music, a Visual Kei outfit competition with an amazing prize sponsored by RarezHut, and the chance to hang out with over one hundred other fans of this increasingly rare style of music.
 
And while we hope that some of you might be able to attend this grand revival, we don't intend to limit our activities to Sweden, and would be glad to bring it wherever enough people who are interested might be located, mainly in Europe. So if you have any connections or ideas please feel free to message me and we'll see what can be done!

We're glad for any and all support we can get from you guys as we try to bring back some community and party to the fandom! 
 
Also a special thanks to @orange~ who designed our logo!

I thought they had another, but I guess I was thinking of Bondage. BTW: if you wanted to know what Grieva would have sounded like if they took their influences from some of the more punk VK bands of the 90s...

Oh school... I spent whole July wanting to go back to school. Three days of school and BAM, I was permitted to not go to communication marketing (??) class because of my work experience (JaME) and previous degree. So now I have month free from school. At the end of September I have one class left abd the only thing I have to do before graduating is internship.
 
That was fast.

I have long since stopped trying to understand my musical taste. I have now gone from Finnish parody of Mulan's 'Make the man out of you' to 'We are number one but it's in Japanese' (which is, incidentally, done by a Finnish lady) to Touhou Project's 'Bad Apple' and honestly, all of them sound good to me. I mean... I guess there's a logical transition between all three, but still.

Never. VK 'till the day I die. 

"Old-school/90's VK wasn't really much better" With so many people parading around old-school superiority, I'd say I'm in the minority with this opinion. As someone who has been in VK for ~10 years and collects tons of old-school stuff, I can certainly say without a bit of doubt that there were a TON of really shitty bands back then. Anyone who would say otherwise is looking through some pretty rose-tinted glasses. That being said, I certainly do miss some of sub-scenes in VK that no longer exist(soft visual/white-kei/proto-oshare) and don't exactly like all of the "sounds" that bands tend to get grouped into nowadays, but I definitely can't say that one era was better or worse than the other as they all have their ups and downs.
