https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NNbeoCUnSI I didn't care much for this band before, but they are getting better. I like how they do something heavy and "evil" yet still cute. The second and the last song of this video are really good.

Hahahaha. Indeed. This song/PV is pretty cool, though. They are a good example of a band who is changing by adding more influences to their sound w/o losing its roots.

Yeah, just like jealkb. The difference is that jealkb actually makes good music. This shit sucks, because they just seem to be mocking old school VK but they actually make stuff worse than what they want to criticize. It's actually sad, instead of funny, because it sucks in every way. The songs are boring, the production is shitty, they don't look cool nor funny, etc. This is just wrong.

Ugh, I hate how there's always someone whinning about this feminist crap nowadays... It has nothing to do with the fact that they are women or not. I never said I don't like it because they're women, and I actually do like some of their older stuff, like Judea, because in that time they sounded much better than this crap and I happen to like many other female fronted or all female bands, so your argument is invalid.

Woah, calm down, SID ! They're releasing DVDs/Blu-rays like crazy, just like Laruku does. I want to watch'em all, though. Why isn't this band touring overseas, btw ? They have a nice fanbase and all.

The difference is that if cali≠gari made this it would actually be good. This song sucks. This band, sucks, actually. And it reminds me more of BUCK TICK, but much, much worst.

Ryoppi singing <3 Plus, this sounds catchy as fuck. Love it.

So he has finally been fired from avex ? Good. His solo caeer sucks. He looks like a rapper in the OHP of this new management company, so I bet it won't be getting any better.

Yeah, it's better to go on hiatus than disbanding but there are two kinds of people: the ones who suffer for being different and the ones to use it in their favor and actually make art based on it i.e. Kyo from DIR EN GREY. What I'm suggesting is that he could use his suffering to help him make more art. As I said before, some of the best masterpieces in the history of art came from people with much worst issues. That's if this isn't just an excuse to quit the band or something like that like many others did, like that time KISAKI lied about having a surgery or w/e and someone actually revealed that he just used a picture he found on Google and posted it in his blog. My theory is that most of VKers are inventing that they have diseases and shit like that so we can't be mad at them if they quit a band. That's why I don't really trust when someone says a musician from the secene died. It's really easy if you want to quit the VK scene. You just have to delete your blog and stop using make-up, so no one will recognize you. Call it a conspirancy theory and mock me all you want, but don't you think the number of members getting sick and dying has increased a lot in the last 3 years ? I've been into VK since 2001 and now it's just like a plague has been spellbound over Japan. The weird thing is that it mostly affects people from the VK scene. Sounds suspicious to me.

It actually reminds me of X JAPAN's vocals somehow.

Indeed. They are kind of crappy, but it's listenable. It's nice to see a "Cosplay Kei" band again. There are no active bands of this style that I can remember.

The crowd in this video was there because this was recorded during last year's SID's 10th anniversary live when they played with all those bands, including DIV. DIV themselves are far from being that popular, don't be fooled. It's nice to see a participant band finally releasing videos from that event, though. I want to see all the others too.

LOL, WTF ?

Kiryu gets back from the dead and invites her bangyas and the old people from their label to a gig in the funeral. That's pretty cool, IMO. Most of their PVs are demonic. They just wanted to vary and make something cute this time. Stop complaining. I think they should have kept the colors too, at least from their hair, but it still looks nice. The blonde tranny looks a lot like Bou (ex-AN CAFE) in the picture in his coffin.

I like the concept of this PV. The girl is sad/tired about having to work her ass off and then all the members gather trying to cheer her up doing cute stuff and she doesn't give a shit about them. Everything changes when the vocalist talks dirty to her, whispering in her ear, like "Ay, byatch. Party with us and I may lick ya pussay". It works and she invites her friends to party with the band and dress like furry pets so they can have one wild orgy. Then she wakes up still tired, but now it's because she got gangbanged by 5 trannies and 2 dogs, covered in foil paper, which I believe is a metaphor for cum.

Oh, come on. Why stop making art when you're going crazy ? Some of the best masterpieces in the history of art came from crazed people. I think he should use it as a incentive and compose, instead of foiong on hiatus. Sounds more like an excuse to me, though. They could replace him, at least for the lives.

Bands that put full lives on Youtube <3 BIOSPHIA <3 BIOSPHIA live <3

I don't think they quit VK because of him. I think they just don't care anymore or can't get a band or something like that. And GPK tries for all those who don't. He actually tries to hard...

They actually sound pretty good. Their PVs were OK too, but ever since they dared to make that hideous MALICE MIZER cover everything got worst...

Yeah, BLOOD was fucking awesome with him on vocals, but I think it didn't work out because of Kiwamu, not him.

Yeah, maybe. This looks like those shitty 80s romantic comedies, but worst.

WTF is this PV, srsly ? Act 1: Dude is overworking and then he starts having hallucinations of imaginary aristocrat people playing VK in his office. Act 2: His imaginary friends try to help him work things out in the office, but they're too dumb and can't decide wheter they work or play music. Act 3: Pissed off, the protagonist tells the VKers to stop fucking around. They keep playing music and persuade the poor guy to leave everything and go on a date. Act 4: They help him get some gifts for his date and get to the subway in time for it, but everything seems lost. The poor guy was lured out of his job, joined a VK band and won't get laid. Nice metaphor, though. Looks like what really happens to VKers IRL. Final act: He dates you.

I don't like this band, but Mr.SaTaN is a pretty good vocalist. He has a lot of energy on stage, which is a quality most VK vocalists lack. I wish he'd join a decent band...

Thanks for the info.

It's pronounced as The Zero. They put that :Ø thingy just to make it "stylish". As for SAN being in THE BLACK SWAN or not, I couldn't care less, because I never really liked him much, tbh. I'm more concerned about their bassist leaving Regalia to join this band, though, which would be a shame, since Regalia is actually pretty cool.
