yahooo

Seriously regret coming into this thread, but anyway, gotta completely disagree with Jon Jonz:
 
 
Pretty bad way to start a post that just may end up outdoing any ignorance or bullsh!t that came before it in the thread.
 
 
Is that a statistic? Maybe I should listen to something else so I can open my mind, see the real world, be one with the universe....
 
 
Pretty darn narrow-minded and downright hateful way to feel about someone with a different opinion than you.
 
 
I seriously hope that this is about VK influenced bands outside of Japan only, and that you aren`t implying Yohio and co. help support actual Japanese bands in any way... Or maybe I am wrong and X Japan or Vamps would never play NYC without Yohio...
Pretty sure people will still want to see Visual bands they like even without forcing themselves to try and enjoy foreign imitations that don`t bring anything to the table.
 
 
Visual Kei is far from simply Glam. Glam, Hair Metal and so forth are some of the ancestors of the music, for sure, but they in no way define it, and any attempt to accuse modern VK of being a Glam or Hair Metal rip-off would be buried under the countless iterations of Visual bands which have put their own perspective and ideas into the a mix of ideas that come from all over the world.
 
Also no idea why tranny is said so much around here, and any sexuality at all is not a factor for me personally in terms of my enjoyment of VK.
 
 
Pretty sure you have more scrobbles of VK than most people here combined. But you`re exempt from any kind of infatuation with Japanese culture / products?
 
 
I don`t see `culture` being spread, I hold culture to a somewhat higher esteem than thinking a little boy who paid to have make-up put on and producers make his band sound like somewhat old Gazette is spreading `culture`. Japanese culture has been spread for a very long time, bringing the world a wealth of new ideas, perspectives, and technologies. This has nothing to do with that, in my opinion.
 
The reason why so many often fail (and fail hard) at creating many `Japanese things`, is they lack the cultural background, understanding of how things came about, and why, as well as the actual nuances of PERSPECTIVE that Japan can add.
 
No, you don`t have to be of pure Yamato blood and raised in Honshu to get it, but simply looking and or listening to something Japanese and then copying it (usually poorly) WITHOUT ADDING ANY OF YOUR OWN PERSPECTIVE WHAT-SO-EVER usually ends up creating something that is not a cultural import, not a new take on foreign ideas, and not anything interesting to most `educated` people at all. It ends up being DERIVATIVE (junk).
 
 
All ideas come from somewhere, The Waltz to The Schmaltz, Ragtime, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Metal, Hair Metal, Visual Kei.
Yet somehow, as usual, the Japanese thing is especially a rip-off, and Japanese people are up to their thieving ways again, right?
Let`s just ignore the fact that same Blues riffs are used in countless songs, guys like Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore copied those riffs as well as other forms of music extensively, then that cycle repeated over and over again, until today where we can google current lawsuits or Youtube compilations of rip-offs from all around the world.
 
But VK is to be shamed specifically!
 
Something about Japan has always led foreigners to proclaim some sort of ill conceived notion that they are some special unique counterfeiters who make nothing of their own... Until the reality that Japan is one of the biggest cultural exporters and innovators of all time sets in (if it ever does, as in, if people ever actually learn more about the book than just its cover).
 
 
So you`re saying:
 
Hey, not much people support the Japanese bands in the first place, but let`s change any focus we had onto supporting these Western bands for some reason... Surely it is more important to support them than, you know, actually creative bands, or actual current or past ambassadors for Visual Kei and Japanese Rock, like Dir en grey, Larc, VAMPS, Girugamesh, X Japan, etc...
 
????
 
 
1:Okay, so why don`t we talk about those in other threads, and support them if we actually like them, for example, bands like Lilith, as opposed to you telling us we should care about this Yohio band that many seem to dislike and only follow out of morbid curiosity?
 
2: Disagree, and disagree.

Overall I would have expected a much different, richer opinion from someone who listens to so much Visual Kei music.
 
In regards to things expressed not solely inside of the post I quoted:
 
At this point, it seems like some terms are just becoming irrelevant due to over-use, like: Rip-off, or trying to insult a VK band by calling them Indie...
 
Also just lol at `better than indie-fag` bands, not even sure why the select use of derogatory terms is allowed, but whatever, moving on:
 
Since when are the Indie VK bands seen as lower quality or, more importantly, the term Major seen as any indication of quality?
I can name tons of Indie bands that play circles around the Major bands, and if popularity is your rating point, I`m guessing you think Pop Idols are the cream of the crop. Hey, in reality that`s what this Disreign thing kind of is, I see it as less Rock and more Pop considering someone did their looks for them based on a pre-existing style, someone made the video based on pre-existing videos, someone made the album art for them based on pre-existing album art, someone produced the track to sound just like at least one pre-existing track... Where is the creative input and process from the band here?
 
Also to the question of why would we listen to Japanese singing in English: Because again, they put their own perspective on it, and we get a fresh product (not all the time, but you know). No matter what people say VK and other forms of Japanese music are very unique and can`t be substituted. Contrast an Indie band playing a common style with some English lyrics to a recent Miyavi song co-written by other people. You see the difference perspective makes in creating a somewhat unique product compared to what many are finding disappointment with in Miyavi`s latest.
 
Anyway, just my thoughts, it goes off topic, it goes back on topic, then it goes somewhere else, but whatever, think what you will, peace.
 
EDIT: If you like this band or whatever else, cool. I personally don`t but am not judging anyone, just disagreeing with the blanket statements, prejudices, and weird spin that seems to be put on some things. No I don`t think this band is original or important for VK at all, but that`s just me and those things don`t even need to matter to everyone anyway.

Loved it!

No. I deleted your post and I am far from a YOHIO or a fangirl.
Proclaiming your dislike for YOHIO is one thing. Telling him and his musicians to disband and die because you don't like their music is rude, needlessly inflammatory, and does not add to conversation. Be glad I didn't ban you for that offense.
I will not be giving out this warning again. Do not confuse sharing your opinion with saying harmful, unproductive, negative things. If anyone breaks this rule, I will make it a point to permaban you myself.

Guys this topic was made on March 14th, the new project announce is the Major Debut. LOL

Here's the translation of their comments, sorry for my really bad english.
 
Vocal Yuuki   I have been working as a member of this awesome band called "Lycaon" for almost 7 years, as Yuuki, as one artist, but After the Akasaka Blitz tour final on 11/6, Lycaon will disband. We have been discussing for so many times, we exchanged words of our future from now so many times, but thats our conclusion.   The gratitude to everyone who have been liking us, the magnificence of our encounter, the miracle, a lot of memories, who gave me all of this are you and us [the band itself]. Certainly face the reality of a disbandment make you have a lot of feelings like anger and sadness. Its the same to me.   But now i feel like my heart was washed. Its our last tour but in the final i want to blur brightly. I want to give a spectacular end to the Lycaon who gave us a lot of encounters and memories. I want to let it die surrounded by a lot of voices. I want you to let it die. I wanna be bitten to the death. I wannt to bite to the the death. I wanna become one with you.  Now i have a lot of feelings like this. I never thought a day like this would come.   It was really funny. I was happy.

I'm really sorry that was announced like this.   But the result of disbandment came from each member thought. In the end its something we decided with "all members", so i want you to accept it. It may be impossible to do right now but... Until the very last day, like in the meaning of MASOCHIST RED, i want to make the world that just Lycaon can make with everyone, so i gonna devote myself with all my power in each remnant concert.   Let's the a landscape that we weren't able to see together.   Thank you for always give me a happy time.   Hiyuu    --------------------------------------------
 
Dr. Ichiro   I'm sorry for such an abrupt announcement. I should right it in a respectfully way, but i thought i wouldn't be able to express my feelings, so i gonna write like this. I don't know what to say.   Before i joined the band in the middle, i was a human that never went to a tour. But since've started as a support member in Lycaon i was able to go to a lot of places and experience many things, it was really fun. Keeping like this i wanted to enchant Lycaon in more and more big places. It became my dream.   We have discussed with the members a lot of times. How we could make awesome concerts? How could we take awesome pictures? How could we make our fans have fun?   If i count my time as a suppot, i have been a member fo 4 years. Being everyday with the members made me able to go through the same path with them. The answer gave by these members now was "disband". We have been worrying until the very last moment. I think there's people who thinks its not the right and can't agree.   We won't ever meet again.   It's not like this.   It was good to be able to meet everyone who have been supporting me on these 4 years. Thank you very much.   These are my honest feelings. I'll do it with all my power until the end. I hope everyone do it with complete devotion too.   Thank you.

I have joined Lycaon in the middle of it, and in these 5 years i could keep walking thanks to the collaboration of a lot of fans and staffs. I thank you from my heart.   Encountering these members, experiencing a lot of things, encountering a lot of people i`m really grateful to everything what happened. So i think someday we'll be able to see this decision called disbandment as something positie... And follow to different paths. I'm really sorry that was announced like this.   But the result of disbandment came from each member thought. In the end its something we decided with "all members", so i want you to accept it. It may be impossible to do right now but... Until the very last day, like in the meaning of MASOCHIST RED, i want to make the world that just Lycaon can make with everyone, so i gonna devote myself with all my power in each remnant concert.   Let's the a landscape that we weren't able to see together.   Thank you for always give me a happy time.   Hiyuu    --------------------------------------------
 
Dr. Ichiro   I'm sorry for such an abrupt announcement. I should right it in a respectfully way, but i thought i wouldn't be able to express my feelings, so i gonna write like this. I don't know what to say.   Before i joined the band in the middle, i was a human that never went to a tour. But since've started as a support member in Lycaon i was able to go to a lot of places and experience many things, it was really fun. Keeping like this i wanted to enchant Lycaon in more and more big places. It became my dream.   We have discussed with the members a lot of times. How we could make awesome concerts? How could we take awesome pictures? How could we make our fans have fun?   If i count my time as a suppot, i have been a member fo 4 years. Being everyday with the members made me able to go through the same path with them. The answer gave by these members now was "disband". We have been worrying until the very last moment. I think there's people who thinks its not the right and can't agree.   We won't ever meet again.   It's not like this.   It was good to be able to meet everyone who have been supporting me on these 4 years. Thank you very much.   These are my honest feelings. I'll do it with all my power until the end. I hope everyone do it with complete devotion too.   Thank you.

Here's the translation of their comments, sorry for my really bad english.
 
Vocal Yuuki   I have been working as a member of this awesome band called "Lycaon" for almost 7 years, as Yuuki, as one artist, but After the Akasaka Blitz tour final on 11/6, Lycaon will disband. We have been discussing for so many times, we exchanged words of our future from now so many times, but thats our conclusion.   The gratitude to everyone who have been liking us, the magnificence of our encounter, the miracle, a lot of memories, who gave me all of this are you and us [the band itself]. Certainly face the reality of a disbandment make you have a lot of feelings like anger and sadness. Its the same to me.   But now i feel like my heart was washed. Its our last tour but in the final i want to blur brightly. I want to give a spectacular end to the Lycaon who gave us a lot of encounters and memories. I want to let it die surrounded by a lot of voices. I want you to let it die. I wanna be bitten to the death. I wannt to bite to the the death. I wanna become one with you.  Now i have a lot of feelings like this. I never thought a day like this would come.   It was really funny. I was happy. Thank you.   --------------------------------------------   Gt.

INTRO:
 
SuG`s first album since leaving PSC and stating something along the lines of `we could no longer continue going on this way`.
 
These events can provide different interpretations of BLACK, which manages to carry on SuG`s identity while sounding vastly different from their previous works.
 
As an album it has much more unity between the tracks, with a heavier sound throughout the majority (B.A.B.Y. is the only song that really ties in with the Heavy Positive Rock sound that they may have been mentally typecast in). Among the 17 songs on the album, no two tracks are the same, typical of their adventurous and diverse approach to songwriting, yet the whole album fits together as one work with one identity, that falls under the album title very nicely, unlike their previous album, for example, which felt like it had a distinct A-Side and B-Side seperating the lighter more positive tracks, and the heavy, sharp tunes that start appearing midway through (I loved that album as well, none-the-less!)
 
MEMBER PERFORMANCES:
 
A really unexpected shocker upon my first few listens was the huge step up in each members performances, as well as their prominence in different tracks. I`m not sure if they were previously holding back on past releases to create a different kind of sound, or if they have really being putting in work, but each member really stepped out and shone on this album. Their tone is also excellent.
 
Click the spoiler if you want to see a breakdown of each member.
 
 
Details on the Sound:
 
A heavier sound, good use of electronic elements and guest arrangements, tracks that put aside the electronic elements altogether and focus on the band, and what is now a SuG signature: Absolutely amazingly deep production with a huge Sonic and Tonic range. The album is an absolute pleasure for me to listen to in terms of how much they can have going on at once, without emphasis on what is important being lost, and without taking away the listener`s ability to follow one individual instrument or input through-out.
 
The album features lots of different elements fused together, in what feels like a huge major release`s production combined with a rock band`s style and sensibility with the members in full control. The synth`s, strings, horn sections, and other elements really make the album interesting for me.
 
Also, the singles are spaced out and placed nicely to give them some renewed freshness, and avoid that `played out` feel. HELLYEAH originally by Takeru`s Uwakimono project is also re-done in a heavy rock style.
 
How does it feel and how much do I like it?
 
Despite being such a heavy album and some heavier lyrics, the album still seems so upbeat to me, and still has so many parts to either rock out to, or groove along with that it is indeed quite peculiar. With many other band`s the sound or themes might make the songs downers, or one`s you play in a certain mood, but I could really put on these songs in any mood and enjoy, though they will have different effects in different situations.
 
I`m not one for much comparison, but it`s definitely the album that I feel will get the most play from me out of their discography to date, and an album that leaves you waiting for what is next (while playing the tracks out).
 
Track Count: 17 (4 previously released as well as 1 re-done track)
Listens: 10
Production Quality:
Overall Rating:
 
Worth the Purchase?
 
With BLACK you get a unique experience that may not be to your taste, as the style, sound and delivery go to quite unique lengths. It`s a band and experience that really stand out, and do something different that mixes niche and mainstream experiences into something different altogether. Even watching the PV`s doesn`t give you the full idea of what the album is about, as there are so many different tracks each with their own unique feel. If you are a fan of their previous work, besides just the more colorful side, you will want to hear this. If you enjoyed the latest PV`s you are in for more than that, but you will probably enjoy yourself. There are instant stand-out tracks, and like usual with SuG, some growers that I appreciate more with each listen.
 
For me, personally, this has quickly become my favorite release this year (even beating out my favorite band!), and has been something I have immensely enjoyed. During my first listen, I felt like I was really experiencing something; something different. And the feeling only grows with each spin.

Hope there's some songs composed by themselvs 

When i talk about the scene i mean the VK indies scene, and yes, they're. 
Your gif is exactly how i acted when i saw you saying "I don't get why VKeiers lie so much. This shit is pathetic." tho 

"attack me personally" HAHAHAHAHAHA ARE U SERIOUS
 
Im not even an Arlequin fan, but if you don't want to discuss i don't see your point in coming to this topic and say shit about something you dont even know. Like, seriously. 
I wont flood here too but i just cant believe how pathetic your last post is.
