Peace Heavy mk II

To celebrate his 20th anniversary as a visual-kei performer, Aika has recently put out a cover of the song "DAMAGE" by his first band R.A.I.D. . He is currently hosting a poll on Twitter for the next song to cover. According to his tweet, he had intended to remake "FLARE" by Werkmare, but wants to see if there are other songs that people would want more. Voting ends on June 27th. Only one of the songs listed is currently on YT, but for reference:

No, she meant "Kim, oh no!"

Dusty mirror better be a Kalen cover

I like Byouki. It's just the right amount of sloppy and #respectTheHustle that visual kei is good at it. Nee is....something.

PV Preview. I like the album art!

I think they meant "Depressive and Melancholic" because their lyrics are sad or something, but people here keep clinging to that tagline and expecting early Girugamesh 2.0. This is the same day as Hueye's singles, so I might just grab them all at once. If I don't buy this, no one else will 🦸🏻‍♂️

They pooped out 2 albums and a D-typed maxi-single all in less than 12 months, so it's safe to say that they have more than enough material to go to another label / producer and not be scrambling for set fillers. BGFN left BP and seemed to be just fine for a while, so I'm don't think this will be the end of them.

how long until they release an anniversary album called 31 and it's just 13 but played backwards

Oh, it's "bad lucker"

Latest update, which covered a good deal of CDs I've received from my Rarezcrate subscription (hence, why these bands are a bit unlike the content I typically share). I've tried to refine my editing technique a bit as well -- hopefully my images are starting to look a bit better

visual kei got popular again

ugghhhh @ the two kiryu profiles vkei labels need to step their streaming game up!!

Not my favorite vocalist, but I like Eventide

Love that this is probably meant to be cvlt for "witch" but in Japanese it's perfectly viable to pronounce it like "BITCH"

Love that she used her vampire magic to put the statue of liberty into the middle of NYC!!! Sim City 5 could NEVER

I hope red rose is less awful. The music is great, but the vocals destroy it #oomph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJIBMpiiIQk

just read @cvltic's twitter feed while going to see the gazette

remember when mamireta's vocalist called everyone who doesn't like women "mushrooms?" That aged super well x

Oh, he did actually rerecord it. I had messaged Aika on facebox because the Damage demo-tape showed up on Puresound without a release date, and he said he was going to remake the song as part of his 20th anniversary of being an artist.

I wonder how many oral fixation makeup tutorials he had to follow to pull off that textured lip

I don't know many of their songs, but their last album was one of my favorite releases of the year. Looking forward to this as well! They've added some new singles to Spotify, which I assume will end up on this album too:

I didn't realize they were even still going

Oop, that reminded me. Some bad anime about bombs (Btooom?) had a scene where a group of ~glamorous~ men with brightly colored hair lure a bunch of high school girls home and assault them, with the ring leader being named "Yayoi." Unintentionally became a docu-series

Oh, apparently the vocalist of The Brow Beat is an actor, and that's why he has so many Twitter followers. And Versailles had that TV-movie they made where they do chores for some girl.

UnsraW was supposed to be in a movie of some sort, but I don't think it actually got filmed. There was also supposed to be some sort of glossy, hallmark channel, ~life of a bandman~ movie that I recall reading about, but I don't know what became of it. There's also that X movie, and the movie with P!nk in it that Violet UK wrote the theme for.
