Then why listen to them? Half of their discography had jazz elements. 

Who said I listen to their whole discography? There are song by this band that I like; I just expressed my dislike for jazzy music. I find jazz tiring, emotionless; the opposite of Visual Kei.

I can't stand jazz-ish songs.

In the 90's is when Visual Kei achieves a certain distinctive sound that distinguishes the style. Perhaps the influences you see in early Dir en grey has to do with that; they liked the sound and they were learning from it.

I like it.

The song has potential but the keyboard and the fake drums make them sound cheap and outdated.

Guitars and bass totally drowned out by the keyboard.

I insist that the vocalist needs to improve his singing, but aside from that and, reading the comments, why is the band having a hard time attracting fans; is it because not many people are interested in old school sound anymore?

By the way, Insomnia sounds nice.

Do Japanese people ever point put to kiryu and other vk bands the excess of synth they use in their music or are they just too polite to dare criticise bands?

Monotone guitars.

It reminds me of Wish by Psycho Le Cemu although Wish is  better than this one.

Nice song.

I'm a fan of PIERROT, but Anglo hasn't been able to captivate my interest; I only like a coupleof songs by Angelo.

I think my problem is that Kirito has a tendency for lack of melody in his singing or composition... This song is melodic and makes good use of Kirito's voice. He needs that kind of direction.

Well, I have it up in the link below.

 

There was an issue regarding encoding being in both UTF-8 and Shift-JIS, but I got it fixed by configuring nginx to respect the original character set of each html file. If you encounter a 404 not found page, it means the page doesn't exist to begin with because my backup is incomplete but most of the artist pages should be available.

You save it!!

I used to call the site "yunisan" because that word was the only one readable and identifiable in the link to the site. All the information the site contained was priceless and literally one of my last connections with old Visual Kei.

Really thankful that you saved all the information!

More than once I have read Japanese people on YT accusing La'mule of being a copy band.

Vowed to eternity our sky is unchanging
"The moon is beautiful isn't it?"
You said smiling despite it. Even now you are too...

 

Why is it we always lose what's precious?
Wings that unfurled in goodbye, you've gone far away to disappear.

 

Words I couldn't say even though I was near
Since then these tears have spilled, this heart, this throbbing heartbeat, all of it for you.
Even now I want to tell you.

 

If... If you had heard me I'd want you to answer, "my beloved"
Completely... completely forgetting the beautiful flowers of love.
If... If you had realized then I'd want to hold you closely, "my dearest"
It's a precious thing, and so I wish for these flowers of pure love to bloom.

白い恋 is usually just always "white love" as I see it...but I don't think that translates to English very well lol, since the meaning is really using white to convey the feeling of the color like snow or heavenly white cloud.

いとしい君 could be 'darling you' 'dear' 'beloved' etc, dear and darling just felt weird, to me.

Not sure if it's the kind of translation you want but since no one else did thought I'd give it a go.

 

This was awesome!

My Japanese is still poor; some parts of the songs I understand them; others I have an idea what it is meant; others not so much so I really appreciate the time you took to translate this.

Thanks you very much!

I said it once when I came across GRIEVA for the first time. I feel disconnected from today's Visual Kei, I'm not attracted to the current scene and music. Even though GRIEVA was clearly taking a lot from Dir en grey I didn't care because I love the sound and style of old school Visual Kei so it made happy to listen to a band that sounded more like the old bands.

Now, ideally it would be awesome if bands were genuinely  inspired by the 90's sound while being original.

I'm sure Yukari-san can re-orientate his career just like when Yukari produced Rentrer En Soi.

I would like to see him as a member of a band more than as a solo artist.

I was wondering if someone could translate TO.KI.ME.KI by Missalina Rei. I more or less understand most of the lyrics, but my Japanese is poor so I'm unable to translate it in a decent way so I would really appreciate it if someone can do it for me.

Thanks.

ト・キ・メ・キ　/　Missalina Rei
Lyrics&Music：彩

永遠を誓い合った　二人の空は変わらない
「綺麗な月よね」と微笑んでた君なのに　今はもう・・・

大切なものはどうしていつも失くしてしまうの
サヨナラで広げた翼、君は遠くへと消えて

傍にいても言えなかった言葉
あれから君の為に流した涙この心このトキメキの全部
今でも伝えたいよ

もし、聞こえたなら答えて欲しい「いとしい君」よ
全て、全て忘れさせて美しい恋の花
もし、気付いたなら抱き締めて欲しい「いとしい君」よ
大切なものだから咲かせたい白い恋の花

ら・ら・ら・・・・・・

@seikun  their names can be similar,but Kikyo is not Kyo or Kyouki, his voice isn't so powerfull,i think

but for the 90's vk wave his vocals are very convenient

you just need to get used to that (like i did) ,but improvements are always welcome,and he needs it

I like the band and I want them to last long, but I insist his singing is poor and need improvement. I am used to poor singing in Visual Kei, take for example Hisui (Madeth gray'll), he wasn't the most skilled vocalist but still he managed to sing better. If they want to succeed he needs to improve.

Perhaps Satsuki should seek Yukari-san's guidance again.

Never xdddddddd, I love kikyo's tone ❤️ but i prefer him vocals in Sadies Marry with more "sounds of him dying" hahahaha 😂 really old kotekote ❤️ 

I think his singing is poor and needs improvement. The other musicians are good, but the vocal is behind and needs to catch up. I'm not saying he has to be the perfect singer; I'm just saying his vocals are poor to the point it needs to be addressed.

I listen to many bands that didn't have the best vocalists, but at least they were better and worked on it to make it better. It's their job.

The band is good and has potential; just please, someone tell the vocal to improve his singing.

PVs have become less and less imaginative.

In the olden days even with the low budget Visual Kei bands found places to film their PVs. You can even simply film at a park at night with nice flashes of light and there you have a more interesting PV to offer.

Wow, simply beautiful.

最後の言葉を思い出す　今更淚の訳を探す
時の流れに追いつけない　確かに愛がぞばにあったから

あなたのいない部屋　一人耽り影見つめ続ける日々
終らない空想と追憶が時を止めて離さない

あなたの涙を思い出す　時を戾せるならと俯くけれど
覗き込む影が笑っているよう　もっと包み込めたはずなのに...

無数の刃が血液の流れに逆流するよう
素敵なあの日の出会いさえ否定する涙　離さない

最後の背中を思い出す　いつもより小さく見えたあなた
震える鼓動を抱き諦めれず　ただ見送るしかなかった

数々の追憶　欠片へとなり　ガラスのように透けてゆき
そして氷のように溶けて　消えてゆくのか？　何もなかったかのように...

最後の言葉を思い出す　今更淚の訳を探す
時の流れに追いつけない　確かに愛が...
あなたの涙を思い出す　時を戾せるならと俯くけれど
時の流れに追いつけない　確かに愛が...
最後の背中を思い出す　いつもより小さく見えたあなた
時の流れに追いつけない　確かに愛が...

これもひとつの運命だとしたら　いつか受け入れるしかないけれど
時を逆に流れ　狂うように想いに耽る　あなたがすべてだったから
どれだけ愛しあって　手を縛りあっても　壊されることもあると知った
気がつけば季節が廻っているまでゆっくり　暖かい追憶へ浸ろう


just like last time if you need romaji/eng let me know

I actually didn't have any hopes for this but you have greatly surprised me.

Thank you very much!
