  1. Does anybody know what Eze:quL's vocal Mayuka did after Eze:quL? Is he still making music?

    1. Axius

      Axius

      I found a last fm thread on this band idk if your able to make sense because most of it is in spanish i pulled something from there that seemed interesting 

      Vocal and composer: 繭 霞 - Mayuka (→ SAKI → Eze: quL → 引退 / 人生 ロ シ ア ン ル レ ー レ ッ ト)

      This might be what happened idk if it is linked to anything.

      You can try to see for yourself.

      I speak Spanish.

      Thanks.

  2. Koibito by SHAZNA is full of Mono no aware. That gentle sadness that is hard to describe but you can feel it in the song.

  3. Wondering, is Chariots' drummer (Mikage) the same guy who was HIZAKI grace project's drummer?

    1. seikun

      seikun

      I see. He looks so different, hard to recognise.

      reminiscing2004

      Yes! Also played in BABYLON, and a billion other bands !

    3. seikun

      seikun

      Wow, BABYLON. That's even older. I wonder how old he is...

       

      Thanks for that piece of information.

  4. I wonder, if Charlotte's vocal, Kazuno, were alive would Charlotte have continued making music for much longer or would the current state of Visual Kei be not receptive of their Oshare-ish style...?

  5. I need a Mist of Rouge revival

  6. 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.

  7. I wonder if one can request anime OSTs here... I really want to listen to some Dragon Ball OST but they aren't sites to download.

    1. seikun

      seikun

      Thanks.

      If you could share OST from Pokemon's first season that would be awesome.

    2. Nagisa

      Sorry I don't think there are OSTs for the TV shows, only singles with the opening and ending themes. I do have OSTs for most of the movies, though, although not the first one.

    3. seikun

      seikun

      Oh, I see. Well, thanks anyway.

  8. Yarikirenai Neurose by Mist of Rouge is such a cool song. So hypnotic and  psycho. I wish someone could share the lyrics and possibly a translation too.

  9. Is Loop Ash still active and producing bands?  I entered Loop Ash's website and only saw announcements for Mask revival, but didn't find any access to other bands...

    1. Biopanda

      Biopanda

      As far as I know, LOOP ASH closed their doors years ago with NEU being their last band. I'm pretty sure that Michiru is just using the name now for the MASK revival and nothing more.

    2. seikun

      seikun

      Oh, I see.

      It actually sounds depressing how VK keeps losing its sort of old pilars u.u

  10. Does anybody happen to know what Riku says in Kamiuta during those intervals at the beginning of the song? I hear something like flyum...

  11. I have always thought that Maddona's overall look in Jump was inspired by Jui's (Vidoll) look in Ningyo PV.

  12. When I read how much Chester Bennington was affceted by Chris Cornell's death and his close relationship with him sounds like Chester's feelings were beyond friendship, it sound very romantic. Was Chester perhaps bisexual?

  13. I wonder if Kisaki has money to re-open Under-Code... Of course, in case he wanted to.

    1. seikun

      seikun

      I had no idea about some things you mentioned. But just letting imagination fly a little bit I would like an Under-Code these days. Especially one bringing bands in the line of Phantasmagoria or early Vidoll...

    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      I don't personally think he'll do it. I think he'll try to open a new label with a new band. Kisaki has a.. less than savoury past, we all know that, but I don't think that really ever would stop him. I mean, he was arrested of all things and yet still came back.

      The only problem is, all the former undercode bands have moved on. Vidoll became Gotcharocka, Riku has his solo project, etc. And personally, I don't think the fanbase would be open to Kisaki opening a new label, and open to a bunch of new bands. 

      The Vkei scene has changed a ton since 2011. Some for the better, some for the worse. The way it's changed wouldn't allow Kisaki to open a new label. VisualKei is in it's lower years, and has been stagnant. We haven't had a Vkei boom like the one in 1986-1993, or the 1996-2003, there isn't as much hype for new bands,  and the whole scene has moved on from the "big exciting indie super-label". There was that kind of hype for Rockstar Records, but we all know how that turned out... I personally do think a modern equivalent to Undercode or something would really benefit the scene, but it doesn't feel like it's going to happen. 

      Basically, the odds are stacked against there being another Extasy, Free Will, Soleil, Matina, or Undercode. They just don't really make them like they used to..

  14. I can't believe up until now I never knew there was a PV for Urei by Kagrra. Just watched it. It felt awesome to discover an old Visual Kei video with that old VK essence^^

    1. Komorebi

      Komorebi

      That is an awesome feel

  15. Does anybody know what happened with members of Larme D'ange after their disbandment all these years?

     

    1. Alkaloid

      Alkaloid

      According to vkdb, their drummer Takurou was in Vallquar and is now in Magistina Saga.

      Guitarist Hiiragi is in Loup d'azur.

      Drummer Aki was in Rugia(g)gram and Vallquar as well.

    2. seikun

      seikun

      I trid to find any info about Loup d'azur, but I couldn't.

      Thanks for the reply.

  16. Watching a late 90's anime being aired on TV as of this week I confirm that real paint is better than digital painting. There's something about real paint that makes it nicer and more gentle whereas digitial painting, even though it has improved since the late 2000's it still looks gloomy, cold, dull and sort of impersonal (if that word makes sense in this context).

    1. Ikna

      Depends. As an "artist" who paints both traditional and digital you can make both look great. Both media have heir pros and cons and digital really isn't that much easier, nor objectively shittier. Sometimes it takes even more time than painting traditionally (also 3D animation isn't easy peasy either, you have to really learn it).

      I think the problem is more that modern animes are produced fast and cheap and there isn't much time invested to make it good from the get go (see the enhanced BluRay releases, while the initial premier on TV is the crappy alpha version).

       

      The industry has become pretty unforgiving (you either loose a lot of money or you win a lot) and studios try to cash in as best as possible, hence they produce way too much in shorter timeframes. Hell, most animators nowadays work themselves to death with 12+ hour workdays, yet earn almost nothing. They need to puke out these new episodes like a machine. I think there was recently an animator who died because of overworking.

      I second this ^

      As a digital and traditional artist, I can say digital can mimick the charm of traditional just as well. You just need to find that artist or studio who has the time, budget and love for their work to get something magical. You can find some fantastic looking anime every season, but you have to sort through hundreds of soulless  cash grabs first

      I have seen Dragon Ball Super has changed the palette of colours they use for characters and they lately resemble real paint more because before the colours made the characters look dort of plastic, but still, I dont think it has to do with skills or even time but with the techonoly itself.

  17. 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?
    1. seikun

      seikun

      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.

  18. Someone posted a song by an old VK band called Retina and I loved it. The song is stuck in my head. I have no memoriesof ever listened to them before. If someone can upload their discography please, upload!!

  19. Does anybody remember that live, EGOIZ III? There Secilia LUNA played their song Nanji no inori. I love that song, but I have always wondered if they ever released it as a single or in an album...

  20. I think I know why I used to like NoGoD but then lost interest in the band. I think it's because the band's music had mono no aware. When they became major that mono no aware factor was lost to a consistent extent.

  21. Wondering if someone knows if there are any clips with Asagi perfoming Shikabane no ouja live. Youtube has offered me nothing so far.

    1. Komorebi

      Komorebi

      No, there isn't. There was no live recording of Asagi's solo project.

    2. seikun

      seikun

      That's sad because the song is awesome.

  22. I would love to know what members of Eliphas Levi are doing today. If someone knows I'd appreciate if they could tell me.

      Wow, thank you.

  23. This song reminds me so much of a VK song, but I can't recall. If someone can please tell me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOV6I4fYnvQ

      chemicalpictures

      That intro sounds like something straight from early Kra

      I'm going to check their songs out then. Thanks.

  24. 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.

      "Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen"

      you just kind of reminded me of this Bible phrase lol
