    I was not talking about concerts performed by VK bands. I was talking about all sorts of events organised by VK fans like parties, cover bands lives, etc. At least in my country fans tend to organise parties at home, universities, etc. There you can go and dance to Visual Kei bands. Actually there are also places like clubs/discos where you also can go and dance to Visual Kei bands. All these events are based on old school bands like Malice Mizer, Dir en grey, Kagerou, Noir fleurir, Metronome, MUCC, etc. Of course there are a few newer bands, but they are not what attracts most fans to these events.

    Anyway, I don't think most VK bands of these days should worry about illegal downloading. I just don't think they get all the attention older VK bands had when they were around.

     

    I might be wrong, but I don't see the craze about VK bands anymore, not at least when it comes to "Neo Visual Kei". On the other hand, older Visual Kei bands are still appreciated by VK fans and events are still held based on those bands (parties, etc).

    I was reading comments from users posted on the PVs video uploaded on Youtube and there is a user stating that Versailles broke up because HIZAKI felt Kamijo was more popular then him and that he (HIZAKI) was already bored of the music style they were making and wanted something new try musically. Even more, this user says HIZAKI brought Zin to Jupiter and the reason why they released so many songs is because they were already working as Jupiter before Versailles split up.

     

    And even more, this user thinks that Jupiter suddenly decided to release their material exactly the same day Kamijo did so as to overshadow Kamijo's release.

     

    What do you guys know about this?

    I remember when I just entered the world of fans of japanese music in my country there were guys who sold music and videos from japanese bands. It didn't matter if it was an avi file or the low quality of it, they just sold them for a fairly good price. In those days (10 years ago) not everybody had access to this music as we have it now so these sellers were quite common.

     

    This topic is somehow complicated. If it weren't for illegal file sharing most bands would be unknown in the west, they wouldn't have all the buyers they have from the rest of the world (even if the ammount of money spent from this side of the world doesn't benefit the bands much) and they would have almost no chance to play overseas, and tickets for concerts are expensive, really expensive, at least here in Chile.

     

    But today even if people download illegal material that doesn't stop them from byuing the original. The problems are always the price and the difficulties to get that material from Japan.

    I kind of liked the PVs, specially Louis ~Enketsu no La Vie en Rose~ PV. Mana gave me the impresion he was kind of baptising Kamijo as a new eternal vampire... hahaha. I loved the end of the PV. It reminds me of Saikai no Hana PV.

     

    Grazioso PV reminded me of The Candy Spooky Theater... o.O

     

    I think this single is worth buying it^^

    it's upped on mh download section since Tuesday, I took it on iTunes

    I know, but I want to read the comments of people who have bought it.

     

    Grazioso's intro brings Baiser to my mind^^

     

    I'll try to purchase the single. Do the PVs come along with the single?

    There are a bunch of videos Kyouka has uploaded showing Pink Tribal's rehearsals.

     

    A friend of mine always laughs when he hears Kyouka scream like a girl xD.

     

    Does anybody if Kyouka is still under treatment for his cancer diagnosis or if it is gone already?

    What did the judges say, the girl in the green seemed to like him. Is the person with the purple hair a girl or a guy? I thought it was a women but that voice makes me second guess.

     

    Meh, he was about as good as Kamijo lolololol. He is as good as most VK singers anyway, if he was in Japan he could totally front for a band Western fans would drool all over.

    Well, basically the two judges (the black man and the one with purple hair) said he can't sing well enough. Quite disrespectful judges in this video laughing at the guy for singing in japanese (maybe the purple haired judge's attitude and speech could be defined as almost racist...)

     

    The one in green is an actress and she loved Noslen's presentation.

     

    By the way, the purple haired judge is a woman, hahaha. She was a singer, but as you can see her voice is all ruined.

    Well... I believe that this one is no less good than 'DIET COKE HEAD BARBIE DREAMS'... wait for it...

    MariaMenstruation

    They have released just three singles: ブラックメタルを知った頃のヤツ, よくわからなくなってきた時期のモノ, 作りはじめの頃のヤツ... Still... they could simply release just one, as it's hard to guess when the song starts and when ends... just some chaotic crap with shitty screams and so on :P Yet... the name <3

    I would like to listen to heir music.
