Sad news, folks. BORN will break-up @ 2016/05/26. Here's the official statement: http://www.indie-psc.com/born/important_announcement/

The chorus of the song "THE SUICIDAL AGITATOR" by ヴァンパイア (VAMPIRE) is identical to "MAD ROID" by Sadie, but the lyrics are different.

It's always nice to see a gaiijn in a jap VK band. Photoshop made the members so pale in his previous band that none of us realized he wasn't asian, tough.

Same. This year is their 20th anniversary. If they don't come up with something this year, then I guess we won't ever see them again. Plus, they've been on hiatus for 10 years or so, right ? It's time ! Their solo projects are nothing, compared to JDA. They should come back and stay united forever.

FINALLY we get to see a VK band filming a PV in a place no other bands has ever done that before. More originality, please.

Ugh, here we go again. At least Kiyoto didn't kill another bands this time. And I actually prefer this name so we don't have to share with another artist at last.fm and everything Kiyoto does is great, so yay, looking forward to new releases.

This dude is one of the most useless members in the history of all bands. He's more like a support member than anything else. He never even appears in any of their videos, except PVs and Live DVDs nor is he ever seen interacting with the others or composing. I'm actually surprised they didn't kick him out before. Anyone that can play the bass is better than him. He won't be missed.

Is this your upload ? Can you please put up the whole DVD ?

This sounds a lot like WING WORKS.

S.S.P.D. was only formed in order to provide OST for Kamen Rider Drive. Except for GACKT, Tourbillion and defspiral, all VK-related artists that did OSTs for the Kamen Rider franchise ceased activities or changed names after the end of the series. This band did the same. My guess is they got a deal with some label, so they changed from VK to this in order to appeal to the mainstream audience instead of only VK and Kamen Rider fans.

This looks like a screenshot of some video. Do you have any links ?

Proofs ?

The cardoard's clothing is actually less ratchet than the one of the human being, ugh. This band is a bore. By far the worst of all the cool acts their vocalist fronted.

Holy shit, I didn't pay attention to this ! That place where bands with huge fanbases like GLAY and Laruku generally perform, eh ? That's delusional ! First of all, I don't get how they even manage to book places like this and Budokan, given their fanbases and poor sales compared to some actually popular bands. I believe those places are doing some wild sales or they're getting discounts of some sort, and second, why would they go through the humiliation of doing things like this ? I mean, you book a place with a huge capacity just to fill it with less than half of its capacity ? What's the point ? For the publicity ? Bad publicity it is. People are only gonna talk about how inconpetent they are to dare to book a place if they don't have enough fans to get it packed. I remember ViViD played for 30% of Budokan's capacity and Kiryu's gig seemed to be even less than that. That's sad. Really sad. I bet their sugar daddy (a.k.a. Visual Kei Oyaji) has a lot of money in order to pay for them to do shit like this, but it's humiliating. Not cool at all. I kinda of feel sorry for them, but it's also funny they have the audacity to publish lies about the Budokan management and write lyrics like "VISUAL IS DEAD" and then come up with shit like that. Lame.

I dunno how to hotlink stuff from VK. I think it ain't even possible, but yeah, he just changed the lyrics and fucked up the arrangement. The original is way better.

"Sorrow still in the Merry-go-round" by Ant1nett is a shameless rip-off of the song "Final" by Laputa. Sorrow still in the Merry-go-round: http://vk.com/search?c[q]=Sorrow%20still%20in%20the%20Merry-go-round&c[section]=audio Final:

It's obviously a lie. If lyrics kept any bands from performing at Budokan bands like DIR EN GREY and MUCC wouldn't perform there often.

Bullshit ! What's with this band, lately ? Talking shit about other VK bands as if they were the most innovative band around and now this ?

"Kitagawa debuted in the live-action Sailor Moon series as Sailor Mars. She appeared in the 2006 movie The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and has since then played roles in many television dramas and films, such as the live-action adaptation of Ai Yazawa's Paradise Kiss manga, and the My Little Nightmare (Akumu-chan) series" They've only been dating for 1 year and a half, tough. Also, I didn't see this posted here before, but he did some voice acting for a character in the new Monster Hunter game that came out 10 days ago:

I really liked this. Kind of sounds like CODOMO DRAGON meets R-Shitei and MERRY. Something different, indeed. They have potential.

Their song "BEAST" is in the OST for an upcoming movie called 復讐したい (Fukushu Shitai / I Want Revenge!) with terrible CGI:

"Colorless Images" is the OP theme for the new Kamen Rider game:

Shitty label indeed. They deserve better.

Holy shit, misantroop is still one of my fave songs, but I'd never DARE to listen to tis atrocity.

Great news and great line-up. Too bad those guys look more like support members instead of actual full-fledged members of the band. I wish Riku would get his shit together, but at least he got over his sugar daddy dumping him and surprinsingly KISAKI let him keep the name of the band. They might keep playing old songs too. Unexpected.
