    I like Phantasmagoria's Kami uta, but I think Mikansei to Guilt is a bit more representative of the band...

    By the way, who is Kisaki representing in Kami uta PV? (himself as a god?)

     

    As for D... I found the band in 2005/6 and for me their most representative song would be Sleeper.

     

    When it comes to パニックちゃんねる or Panic☆ch I would say their THE SONG is Pink Cherry. Maybe because it was the first song I listened to by them and because is very catchy and Meguru's english is even funnier than mine xD

    For me:

     

    Baiser - Prism and Flora

    Noir fleurir - Omocha no Miisha

    Missalina Rei TO-KI-ME-KI

    Aliene Ma'riage - Shimobe

    Dir en grey - Cage (mainly among others)

    L'arc en ciel - Blurry eyes

     

    I think this depends on some factors like age, the time when you came across a specific band, country, etc.

    imo kanji of title track should be "赤い実はじけた(akai mi hajiketa)", i.e. "red fruit is burst" originally referring to "heartbeat for first love"

     

     

    the song is described as below:

     

    "愛はいつしか、怨みへ変わる。人間の奥底に潜む狂気を表現した今回の楽曲。"

    "without noticing that love turns into grudge, and this song expresses the madness that lies deep inside human"

    Thanks for the translation!

    Please please!!

    I love this song and I think the lyrics might be quite interesting. My japanese is poor and I can't even make sense of single sentence. Just taking a few words I tend to think the lyrics is intended to convey some kind of sarcasm, maybe against those prejudiced people who stigmatize homosexuals and cause harm with their prejudices.

     

    I might be wrong, but once again I will be deelply thankful to anuone who could translate the song.

    Hi everyone

     

    I love this song by kein and I managed to find the lyrics in Japanese. From the very first time I listened to this song I could notice the words Heterosexual and Homosexual and I am very interested in a English translation of this song.

     

    So I will be deeply thankful to the person who could translate it for me.

     

    Thanks in advance and here I post the lyrics.

    (Video at the bottom)

     

    グラミー

    詞　眞呼　曲　ゆきの



    昏睡状態 僕は 階段の音を 聞きながら

    ドキドキ うれしうれし楽しい 首吊り台へ昇ろう

    昏睡状態　僕は　縛られた　手首が気掛かり

    ドキドキ　恐い恐い痛い　電気イスに　座ろう



    昏睡状態 君は 癇を 起しているから

    ドキドキ うれしうれし楽しい 君の気管を 絞めよう

    昏睡状態 君は 赤い血が 沸き出ているから

    ドキドキ 恐い恐い痛い 君の“脊髄” 取り出して



    「no 愚かな scapegoat」

    「no 俺は hetero-sexual」

    腐った水に…腐敗のモルグ

    「no 愚かな scapegoat」

    「no 愚かな homo-sexual」

    「no…scap…go…at…」

    「俺の嫌いな　homo-sexual」



    「呼吸停止剤」

    「心拍停止剤」

    「呼吸停止剤」

    「心拍停止剤」

    …



    ああ…死刑台の罪人の観覧会ね

    のた打ち回る僕に群衆の歓声と喝采



    蠢く…

    By the way. Aliene Ma'riage doesn't sound gothic to me, not much at least. To me this band can be taken as reference for the achievement of a particular sound that distingueshes the 90's and early 2000's Visual Kei era.

     

    Baiser, Aliene Ma'riage, Missalina Rei, Lamiel, Madeth gray'll, Verfe~gorl and the list goes on and on.

     

    But in the end it is good that you cqan't classify a lot of bands. Nowadays the more you mix the better.

    Sorry to burst you bubble but 90% of new VK IS VERY BORING AND PREDICTABLE , older bands mixed a lot genres , todays VK bands are 90% dominated by a shitty mixdown of Alternative Metal and Metalcore . Other then few examples of course , and the VK rock bands , the metal one suck as hell . VK rock bands are a little less predictable but still its either pop punk , pop rock or alternative rock . So really dont try to make up some excuses for being lazy to know at least some characteristics from some genres . Read about 1 genre daily and after a month you will know a lot more . Altough its not really my place to say it , its your decision how you tag your music , its it either pop and rock , or pop and rock and metal , or even you use VK as a music tag , its your choice .

    I wasn't exactly thinking of today's bands but the old ones.

     

    Oh please why don't you instruct me on this? You seem to know very much. I could learn a lot from you...

     

    Genres are life...

    Maybe Phantasmagoria. I used to love the band up until 2007/8, but a few years later I realised I wasn't that crazy for the band anymore. Well, I still like the band, but just some songs, specifically those that sound more like old school Visual Kei and songs like Mikansei to guilt (I love this song so much). I avoid most of those romantic and more mainstream songs they released...

     

    Also Vidoll.

    Haha probably holds truth~ I'd say the fandom for visual kei (at least for us foreign fans) has decreased. I feel like when I first got into visual kei, there were so many people on the Internet and blogs and communities etc. It's died down a lot. 

     

    So not as many people buying and sharing. Or, a lot of the people who purchase don't like to share. I don't know.

    This is my very personal opinion. I think that the bands that have been coming out since let's say... 2007/8 are not that interesting; the Neo Visual Kei thing and stuff. Bands are making very mainstream music and there isn't anything interesting there. That, in my opinion, has made the interest in Visual Kei decrease a lot.

     

    But bands and musicians like Miyavi, MUCC, Gazette, Moi dix Mois, An Cafe, etc and old school Visual Kei bands, they should worry about illegal downloading because they have not lost fans. Most blogspots are mainly based on older bands rather than the new ones.

    Most people understand that Visual Kei is free and that a song can have more than one genre in it, which in my opinion is a great thing ever since sticking to one genre makes music predictable and boring for someone like me.

     

    Nowadays there are lot of bands that don't follow a specific genre, instead bands from all styles mix a lot of them. A friend of mine even says that today it is not even importat to be able to play well.

     

    So I think if Visual Kei has to be labeled something I would suggest "ALTERNATIVE".

    Gazette is coming to Chile. Actually a TV channel is promoting the concert right now as I write this and they will give some tickets away if people can tell what the name of the PV they are now playing is.

     

    I used to like Gazette, not as a crazy fan, but there are many songs I like. Now they sound very westernised and that killed their flavour to me.

    Who cares about genre in Visual Kei. Although I firmly think Visual Kei developed a musical style during the late 90's based on bands like Baiser and the model was I don't care much about genre in Visual Kei because I like it to be free for inspiration as it comes.
