crucifiction

Lol, far from it unfortunately.

Tbh it's impossible to choose just 5 but... in no particular order: Crucifixion (and in general melodic, oldschool sounding vk) Amethystium Within Temptation (their pre-Hydra stuff) ColdWorld Secret Garden

Got some new Crucifixion boiz

@Chell, let me recommend you some other Polish bands worth trying out: Abraxas Quidam Egrimonia Riverside Circle of Bards Beltaine Svann (side project of Abraxas' members, featuring Anja from Closterkeller) Madame

I have approx. 900 releases (don't really have the time to count the ones that are yet to be added to my Discogs profile, sorry :P): mostly CDs, some tapes and LPs. Both Japanese and non-Japanese.

KISAKI's lucky bag FerrisWheeL - 廻想ルナシエル En:nesia - 蠱惑 Javelin - 忘れ雪 Zephyr - St.Memories Avenue Celia'xeno x フィオーレ - 妖怪蝶上大決戦 méffist - BIRTH of DEVIL Forestier - 魍魎ノ箱 + some Marvelous Cruelty

They updated the description, mail orders are eligible for this offer as well:

Scrobbling isn't recording. Last.fm uses data such as the length of a song, it doesn't analyze the content itself in any way.

Delayed due to COVID-19...

Basically anything that contains music - CDs, tapes, DVDs, VHSes etc. I occasionally buy T-shirts as well but I don't care at all about stuff like cheki, towels, etc.

I've been into VK for more than 15 years now and what I find most common when it comes to people loosing their interest in the scene stems from what has drawn them to it in the first place. From my experience, people that started "listening" to vk bands mainly for the looks and - supposedly - to feel "unique" simply grew out of it, adding up to your regular "it was just a phase" stereotype. On the other hand, the ones that, instead of drooling over bandomen pics, actually did focus on the music itself, listen to visual bands to this day. The other thing, that has already been mentioned, is that some people fix their taste on one particular type of music/scene, not willing to discover anything outside of this "bubble". This can often lead to getting fed up with it which later results in them trying to find an alternative stimulator... which they are most likely going to be tired of in a few years as well. As for me, I see no reason why I would ever stop enjoying the music and visuals that I used to in the past. When something is good, it's just... good, it's not going to magically change over the years.

ガラス lyrics: Yukari / music: Yukari 壊された夢 届かない声 渇いた空気の中で 変わらぬ想い 溢れる涙 閉じ込めてしまえるなら 微笑んだキミ 色褪せた夢 戻せない時の流れ 傷ついた羽を休め 傷ついた夢に抱かれ 傷ついた時の中で ひび割れたキミを見つめてる キミを抱きしめていても きっと壊れてしまうから キミはガラス玉の中 そっと眠り夢を見る キミを抱きしめていても きっと壊れてしまうだろう キミはガラス玉の中 いっそ壊してしまいたい

Gosh, I've just realized that you wanted lyrics to "Two", not "You" XD Sorry! I can provide you with lyrics to 'Glass' tomorrow.

You 止まらない想いに溺れ 彷徨っていた 壊れていく記憶はすべて 忘れていた 戸惑いも知らずに 夢の中まどろみ 痛みさえ解らず 瞳を閉じていた 壊れてた砂時計 記憶の破片 同じ夢の中で 出会った二人 貴女だけにこの想い博えたい 鍵れあう心戻せない時間 いつまでも… 変われない二人が求めていた 温もり 探していた想いが 時を刻んでいた 壊れてた砂時計 記憶の破片. 同じ夢の中で 会えない二人 貴女だけにこの想い伝えたい 貴女だけにこの時を届けたい 貴女だけにこの想い博えたい Taken from the booklet of KALEIDOSCOPE.

Preferably lossless, for the same reason as stated by @Laurence02. When it comes to casual listening, I'd go with HQ AAC or mp3@320 (VBR V0). I can't agree with the statement that you can hardly hear a difference between 192Kbps and 320/lossless, not to mention 128Kbps. As a matter of fact, you don't even need a high-end audio equipment to be able to do so. Still, the quality of the original recording matters quite a bit as well. We know how it is with some underground vk boiz...

seek words: Yukari / music: Rei アナタを失くした時からずっと繰り返す 想い出探るこの両手に消えた アナタが失くした想いの中を彷徨って 答えを探すこの両手に消えた アナタの笑顔 アノ日の中で もう 届かない 想い出 アナタが泣いたアノ日の中で もう帰らない 思い出 サヨナラ アナタが告げた別れの言葉 胸の奥で サヨナラ アノ日の 二人永遠だけを信じて コワレソウナ心 思い出さえ サヨナラ アナタガ サヨナラ アノ日の サヨナラ.....

It's called sarcasm ^_~

Yeah, I believe it's just a "cool project" for the purpose of keeping fans entertained in COVID-19 times. Their latest single and other impressive items, such as 1 cheki for 1000 jpy, are available now on Starwave Records' webshop:

Istnieje tak wiele cudownej muzyki, że nie ma sensu się ograniczać ^^

Kwestia nazewnictwa to już drugorzędna sprawa, wiemy o czym mowa ^_~ I zgadzam się, są to niewątpliwie grupy, które mają bardzo rozpoznawalne brzmienie! Miło natrafić na innego sympatyka Projekt Records, nie miałem okazji spotkać wielu osób z Polski, które lubują się w tworach przez nich wydawanych Zachęcam, na pewno znajdziesz tam coś dla siebie ^^

Yup! Ogólnie możesz rzucić okiem na mój profil na last.fm, jeśli jesteś ciekawy jakiej muzyki słucham: https://www.last.fm/user/man_of_the_oak Co do grup - poza klasykami pokroju Cocteau Twins uwielbiam m.in. Love Spirals Downwards czy Autumn's Grey Solace. Ogólnie mocno cenię grupy związane z Projekt Records. A z nich chyba najbardziej Lycię ^^

Świetny wybór, również bardzo gustuję w takich klimatach ❤️

Z nowszych grup polecam się zapoznać z ルヴィーユ, Astaroth i L'eveil en Roseraie (szczególnie ten powinien Ci przypaść do gustu jeśli lubisz M10M~) ^^

Inspiracje, szczególnie brytyjską sceną, są też bardzo wyczuwalne chociażby u Eins:Vier. Np. takie "Push baby": Johnny Marr byłby dumny ^_~

Witaj! Poza LS i B-T, do muzyki jakich grup wracasz najczęściej? ^_~
