Wasn't there a thread here dedicated to people listing all plagios that VK bands ripped off of other artists ? I can't find it. Would someone be nice enough to give me the link for that thread ?

There are more eye bags in this pic than flops in their carrer.

Art Kei lives !

Art Kei is dead.

The song is good, but it's too heavy for clean vocals. It should be like, all done with screaming and only the chorus with clean vocals, but the problem is Byo can't sing and he fucks up the clean vocals less than the screams,so I'm guessing that was their strategy and we prolly won't be seeing him screaming much with this band.

People bitch whine about so many things nowadays yet still nobody seems to advocate for bullshit like this region blocking crap that should be categorized as xenophobia and/or depriving people of having access to knowledge or whatevs.

Are we really not gonna talk about the fact that blue haired dude is putting a fork up the doll's pussy ?

Monokuro Kinema was THE shit ! They should come back for real.

Stoner kei should be a thing indeed.

Are there any new tracks in this best-of or is it just a compilation?

Wow. Very deep lyrics. It's just "Yeah, Yeah,oh,oh" over and over again. I've seen porn more elaborated than that.

So, last time it was MALICE MIZER and now they're making fun of LAREINE. Too bad this song is super boring. I hope that at least the PV is funny,because the one that paid homage to MM was really funny.

Repetitive, but good. The song in the PV is dope.

Hands down one of the best releases of 2k18.

Even tough I do agree that these new songs are shit if compared to the old ones, I think it has nothing to do with the western drag queen scene or that she's sounding like this now in order to appeal to the western audience. If that was the case, she'd be explicitly singing about dicks and partying in engrish. She's just trying something new. It sucks, yes, but not only because it's happy and upbeat. I mean, she has other happy songs that are pretty good, like Chocolat, but it's because of her older influences,like gothic stuff, cabaret and French music, while this is just some lame ass generic pop garbage.

This looks a lot like Kameleo.

That chorus is super catchy.

Ugh, is she still trying ?

Cringeworthy

Is it just me or Ryutarou with a blond wig looks a lot like Aoi from Ayabie ?

I wish this band would sound half as good as it looks.

Isn't it great when we finally get to see a VK band taking pics in a new location for a change ? Anyway, great band. They give me old-school DOREMIdan vibes and I absolutely love it and hope they never change their sound. Too bad they don't seem to have many fans, but they seem to be on a roll and releasing lots of stuff lately. One of the best current VK bands IMO.

Yeah, it's a super lame reason. Worst than that was the fact that they didn't broadcast lynch.'s gig back in the day just because one of their members was caught smoking some joints.

So what ?
