Knowing VK bands, it's probably the former cuz it's so 'mystical', lol. But I wouldn't be surprised if they just cracked open a Spanish dictionary at random.  

It's also the name of some French film from the 60's based off of an unfinished book of the same title.

Solitude is one of my favorite songs from Lareine 2nd age.

Mine too and I love Kamijo's theatrical performance in Chantons L'amour.

I like the song, but like I said before, the PV sould have been filmed in a run-down building and a forest nearby to dramatise the story told in the song. That is what older bands did . That set they used is boring, claustrophobic, overused, it helps tell no story and doesn't suit La'veil MizeriA's look.

 

Is Kiwamu the owner of those sets?

Kiwamu pretty much does everything himself when it comes to filming any Starwave PV. That's why they all have the same sets and lighting. 

I wish he could try a little harder, since La'Veil MizeriA deserves more than just the generic sets they have at the Starwave Studios. 

I agree on this 666%

I hope it gets back completely

Oh I see.

Hope everything goes well. That site is one of my last connections with old school Visual Kei.

 

it's just for the hide disrespect PV i think.

 

he'll be back to this look again once Lena Dunham opens a casting call for a 7-11 cashier stand-in in her next project

@nekkichi The shit you say is literally hilarious. I appreciate u

@Mihenno thank u bae, I wish I weren't merely retelling that artists public image ~journey~

For a moment, I thought it was A9's bassist

I'm a bit outside vk since 2 years, but I have the same feel.

I'm not really satisfied by most of those new band I'm trying.

Sacci (Sayo) was in Souiumono and has a new thing called kaiga no kotowari https://www.kaigano-kotowari.com/blog
Nuppe (Denu) was also in Souiumono and now does sessions every once in a while? He hasn't updated his Twitter in two months so maybe he's slowly disappearing.
Urala is a band called Charles https://charles3mul.wixsite.com/official/profile
Ginga and Yusuke are long gone.

So detailed.

Thanks!

The part around 44 seconds is them asking normies if they recognize any of the names on the left, which are:

 

-Shazna

-Malice Mizer

-La'cryma Christi

-Fanatic Crisis

 

Lady with glasses:

 

"What language is this? ...Ca...careermen? Italian cooking...?"

 

Next dude:

 

"Is that the name of a cake?"

 

Yoko Ono:

"Is it a brand?"

 

Lady with curly hair:

"A cosmetic?"

 

Obaa-san:

 

"Whaaa.....a singer?" (then she says stuff way too fast for me to understand and there's no subtitles)

 

Awkward Gender Ambiguous Person:

 

"They're visual-kei band names."

I could get some of that but I wish people would give them subtitles.

 

Thanks.

It works if you access the band's page through googling band name +yunisan (at least for me). The main list page doesn't work though.

Some band pages don't work, others do. There was a short talk in the MH chat about it recently.

Other than that, I can only recommend vk.gy as an alternative. :]

I see.

That is the best site to check old VK bands' discographies. I need it!

access to recording equipment and daw's has totally changed the game. i think so much of the 'old indie' sound has credit due to the last era of straightforward recording techniques, before drum triggers, melodyne, and softsynths became the new staples of record production.

 

it hurts the most when i hear a new band who's got something interesting going on creatively, but its packaged in this gloss of fake drums, self-recorded and surgeon-ed production. atleast the cheap recordings of decades before had an essence of life and passion to them. maybe thats hopeless nostalgia....

Very interesting comments.

 

I don't know the technicalities in this but I find something really endearing in this kind of sound quality.

Agreed with colorfuljinsei about the synthesizers. Don't get me wrong, I love when a band incorporates lush synths, but the majority of 2010s VK that uses synth always seem to resort to that grating, cheap sounding synth like this. Lots of bands (Royz, anfiel, LONDBOY, i.Rias, 0.1gの誤算, and maaaany more) are guilty of it and it's an immediate turn-off for me.

What DVD was it released on? Chances are, it's for sale somewhere

Whatever happened to them anyway? Disband or hiatus?

That release is surrounded by mystery. They announced it with a preview on Youtube back in 2008 and you could see some of the PV, but after a time the preview was removed. Today you can still find it on Nico Douga. As for the PV itself, it looks like it was never officially released. I can only find the maxi-single without the PV for sale.

It's part of the decadence

'awesome' and 'horrible' have quietly just become the same thing

looks like hakuei

Yeah, it's Hakuei. I could finally find the PV.

Thanks.

 

straight up "don't tempt [me]" translation from rude to less rude
誘惑すんな
誘惑するな
誘惑しないで(よ)

"no tempting allowed" - slightly more playful sounding
誘惑はダメだ(よ)
誘惑しちゃダメだ(よ)

i can't let myself get tempted/lose to temptation
誘惑されちゃダメだ(よ)
誘惑に負けちゃダメだ(よ)

@cvltic excuse my noob ass... How  would one read that kanji? 

Wow, so detailed. I was having problems constructing the sentece as it was always in my mind the "me" part. Thank you very much, @cvltic

 

Are you asking about 誘惑, @platy ? It is read as "yuuwaku" (ゆうわく).

i would say the piass but it move to quick to tell :S

it looks like this vid :

 

Really, the blond one? He's more identifiable at 2:40

You're not obliged to watch them. It's an invitation. You can save your time to leave a comment if you don't want to watch.

I knew it. I knew it would be him out of all reactors! 

Ok but Eternal Silence?

 

Actually I don't mind seeing normals watching vk. Thanks for sharing.
