    Fun topic!

     

    (Correct me if I'm wrong and they did release something...) I don't think there was really a live DVD from Kagerou's indie, pre-full album days.

     

    Basically I wish they'd released a concert DVD from the show(s) they recorded the Wrist Cutter PV at.

     

    Zekkyou Psycopath was good, but nothing touches Daisuke's sequined suits from the wrist cutter video.

    I'm not the biggest Machine Gun Kelly fan, but Rap Devil was seriously good. Finally someone both man and dumb enough to diss Eminem, a man who's been a massive joke of a rapper for well over a decade now.

     

    Well done, MGK.

     

    Hope Eminem responds soon. Could turn into some fun drama this.

    I enjoyed the song too! Took some balls to come at the dude who had a movie made about his battle-rapping skills haha. I don't think I've actively listened to MGK before this song, but I like his flow on this one.

     

    (Though I agree Eminem's last decade+ of music has been boring....)

    Gan-Shin records is doing a re-release of their first album, so from friday of this week it should be available on spotify, apple music and everywhere.

    Wait, Nacht *was* on Spotify... and now it's not. And it will be again soon??

     

    (I remember playing Nacht a lot last summer after you posted about it in the shoutbox...)

    Awesome live report! I have never had the nerve to venture to the lowest section of AREA as a similarly tall dude. (though I've never been to a show there that had 50% boys...)

    Sho asked us to split and so we did and as he was hyping us up I proceeded to taunt the other side haha (I flexed a bit haha). 

    Amazing.

    I love that out of all the vk/kansai vk bands, Vo.魁那 chose to be a Dali stan. One of that tracks on that recent mini album is basically a cover of choo choo 1room ( which is a Mis†ake song).

    At first I thought maybe there was some connection because their mail-order flier(?) looked so much like Ren's always do.

    I actually like it!
    Nice catchy song with really good vocals.
    And their guitarist has lovely hair xD
     

    I kinda like the song too! (other than the 'rapping')

     

    I just think the video is bad/very low budget and ripe for making fun of. If there were nothing redeeming about the song I wouldn't have listened to it enough times to critique the video haha.

    I've been into vkei since the early 90's

    Damn and I thought I had been into VK a long time. Welcome!

    Especially with seeing a LIVE and getting merch

    So there are a lot of people here who go to lots of lives and are pretty much experts.... but if you want the perspective from an American dude who doesn't speak Japanese and is sure he's doing it wrong feel free to drop me a line haha, so far no one has yelled at me for doing something wrong at  VK show.

    VK newbies モンダイジ!! (Mondaiji!!) released a PV for their new song "ラヴベリ-Love very-" and because they decided to disable comments on the video, I had to take my comments here!

     

    2922sso.jpg'Hey guys! We're Mondaiji!!' I don't like that this caution tape is arranged in such a way that it isn't even pretending to keep anyone out of anything. It looks way more like they were learning about Maypole dances in class that day and had no streamers to make one.

    Oh no we're only 10 seconds into this video and they've already started adding unnecessary post-effects in editing. They did not have a lot of confidence in this video holding up on its own.

    See what a I mean? Though this was probably necessary considering the terrible lighting of this PV.

    'We don't have a drummer yet.'

    Did no one think that exposed fluorescent lights maybe wasn't the best they could do for lighting a music video featuring three men in tons of makeup? The lighting just screams 'this is a cheap PV we made on an iPhone!' and is the second worst thing about this video.

     

    2zjgsvl.jpg

    The worst thing is how unwilling the whole band is to just 'go for it'. I remember Jimi from Chemical Pictures blogging once about how to look cool in a PV you have to be willing to look ridiculous in person because normal movements won't translate with any energy on film. The dancing and jumping and instrument-ing in this video are so half-assed it's like the band are embarrassed. 

     

    This is also my biggest complaint with their sound so far. I actually kind of like the summer-time fun vibes in the verses of this track, but no one in the band sounds like they really *mean it*.

    I have no idea what this song is about, so I'm not sure if the classroom relates. But now the vocalist is singing into a chalkboard eraser cause why not.

     

    (Though I do appreciate that they gave him a microphone in this PV, nothing makes singers look more awkward than when they have nothing to hold and don't know what to do with their hands.)

    I feel ya bro.

    'Quidditch after class??'

     

    348hm9w.jpg

    I actually think dude on the right's vibrator-on-my-hip blowin-some-bubbles aesthetic is pretty on point.

     

    2eq7420.jpg

    Again, dudes look like they got bored in the middle of shooting their own music video.

     

    33axi6c.jpg

    There's rapping in this song. When will VK vocalists learn that really all you have to do to not sound like my mom or the Beastie Boys trying to rap is rhyme more than one syllable?

     

    Also there's no way that little cone would amplify someone's voice whatsoever.

     

    2pq4xes.jpg

    'Oh shit I forgot to hold either my mic or cone or eraser. I'll just mime it for this shot.'

     

    ephc78.jpg

    What's with the curtains in this classroom? I like to think they shot this video while school was in session somewhere and the school's principal needed all the middle school children to not see the VK horrors lurking in that classroom.

     

    (Hopefully it's something innocent like nap-time darkness. Going to school in America, we had drills where we had to hang things to black out the windows so hypothetical school shooters wouldn't be able to see into the classrooms 😢)

    Who ya got as the GOAT, MJ or LeBron?

    'Hehe, time to go! Saika you're such a trickster!'

     

    These guys have a one-man show coming up at Takadanobaba AREA this fall, whoa!
