Miyavi back to a Visual Kei-ish look?
They try to pull it off when they seek mainstream acceptance to appear mature, but when they grow up the see there is nothing wrong with looking different.
-
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

Someone reacted to Phantasmagoria. Wanna give him some more views?

That indies sound, that very one. We don't have it anymore.

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....

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.

The chorus in this song reminds me of Malice Mizer. Am I the only one?

Vidoll - Ningyo bass cover. If you would like to give him some views

What happened? They changed the site's layout and now back to the "old" one. I like this old one better though

Do you know why religion demands faith? Because given that there is no evidence for their god all believers are left with is CONVINCING themselves that their religion is th truth.
When doubts come and they come every now and then believers fight the doubts with set phrases like "I know god is real because in my heart I know ". If the emotionality attached to that set phrase brings peace of mind the anxiety of doubting is dispelled.
This is also why believers prefer to socialise with other believers almost exclusively as if living in a bubble, because sharing and confirming beliefs along with the emotionality attached to those beliefs makes them feel safer and more convinced that their god is real.
It is all about how good the belief in a god makes them feel and how much they don't want to lose that feeling and security.

I see non-religious people stick to their own bubble about as much as their counterparts. Everyone has anxiety to dispel when their worldview is challenged in some way...
What I want to believe based on knowing the general clientele in my area (I can speak only for chicagoland) is that these anxieties are further softening on both sides over the course of this generation, and In fact very few people - even those of my parents' age group, are bothered enough to 'demand' any standard of sensibilities one way or the other in their friends/neighbors/community. This is the ideal because faith by definition shouldn't carry the need to confirm your bias with others, but a congregation is a community after all, and people support each other in times of doubt the best way they know how.
Either way, the last line is fairly put - man's faith could be described as a vast delusion or as a point of great merit to the strength of his character depending on the effect it has on his/her actions.

Is this guy in the middle L'yse:nore's vocal? Apparently, during the days of the picture he went by the name ミサ. Could someone confirm this is him?
-
Thanks for the replies.
I found the picture on Twitter when searching for any information about L'yse:nore's members these days and that picture was posted by a Japanese person. The guy in the middle pretty much looks like L'yse:nore's vocal. Someone typed ミサ but my Japanese is poor so I thought that person was referring to the guy in the middle.

A friend of mine is so happy because her all time most fave VK musician (Emiru from Lareine) has liked several of her IG pics.

A little question, how do you say "don't tempt me" in Japanese? Temptation as when being seduced/enticed by someone. 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?

After like 14 years of wishing I finally managed to find and read Chirality, the manga. I didn't like the excess of nudity but the story was good.

Amafurase Tanmaina by Kagrra is one of my all time fave songs since 2005. I'm living an renewed obsession with the song that is amplified by the mysticism in the lyrics about a god, powerful and terrible that makes people be in awe.
-
And no one seems to know where members of Noir fleurir may be and what they may be doing today. Will it be a mystery for ever?
-
AZALEA is an awesome band. Just listen to that guitar solo in Esu no mezame. I wish more VK today learnt form them. That's the spirit of Visual Kei that hypnotised me the first time.
-
Can Malice Mizer's music in its last era really be classified as goth? All the goth bands I haver ever listened to they don't sound like that. I think there's a stereotype about goth music only because in part the goth aesthetic is inspired by the baroque period, but that's not necessarily the type of sound that chacarerises goth music. The same about Moi dix Mois's music.

Do my ears fail me? When I listen to Salvation by The Cranberries, I hear "Tie your kids unto their beds..." but the lyrics I found on the net say "Tie your kids home to their beds". However, when I read Dolores' lips I don't see her say "home".

Do you people remember ex Panic Channel, Tsubasa? Does anybody what he is doing currently? He's legendary in the Visual Kei world.
