    Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, Juka, E'm~grief, all in one. I like what I hear, but they need to drop the cheap violin effect and use real ones and moe guitar too.

    Finally I get to know about that place

    I wonder if someone has pics of Veill. I love that band.
  5. I've been obsessed with 呪縛郷 from La'veil MizeriA lately, although if they want to do like old bands they should shoot in run-down buildings and forests. Those sets where all bands film are getti tired angnd contribute to no dramatism.

      I like the song, but like I said before, the PV sould have been filmed in a run-down building and a forest nearby to dramatise the story told in the song. That is what older bands did . That set they used is boring, claustrophobic, overused, it helps tell no story and doesn't suit La'veil MizeriA's look.

       

      Is Kiwamu the owner of those sets?

      Kiwamu pretty much does everything himself when it comes to filming any Starwave PV. That's why they all have the same sets and lighting. 

      I wish he could try a little harder, since La'Veil MizeriA deserves more than just the generic sets they have at the Starwave Studios.

    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.
  8. Is yunisan back or is that the backup?

      I hope it gets back completely :)

      Oh I see.

      Hope everything goes well. That site is one of my last connections with old school Visual Kei.

       

  9. 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

      @Mihenno thank u bae, I wish I weren't merely retelling that artists public image ~journey~

    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.
  11. I wonder where they are today. I used to love Saga, but probably not many people know about them.

      For a moment, I thought it was A9's bassist

  12. 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.
  13. They may play better than older bands but this is the lamest period in Visual Kei.

     

    Not sorry.

      I'm a bit outside vk since 2 years, but I have the same feel.

      I'm not really satisfied by most of those new band I'm trying.

  14. seikun

    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.
  15. seikun

    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?
  16. I wonder what ex-members of Poitrine are doing today.

      Sacci (Sayo) was in Souiumono and has a new thing called kaiga no kotowari https://www.kaigano-kotowari.com/blog
      Nuppe (Denu) was also in Souiumono and now does sessions every once in a while? He hasn't updated his Twitter in two months so maybe he's slowly disappearing.
      Urala is a band called Charles https://charles3mul.wixsite.com/official/profile
      Ginga and Yusuke are long gone.

      So detailed.

      Thanks!

    Monotone guitars.
  18. 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.
  20. If only someone could add English subtitles to this...

      The part around 44 seconds is them asking normies if they recognize any of the names on the left, which are:

       

      -Shazna

      -Malice Mizer

      -La'cryma Christi

      -Fanatic Crisis

       

      Lady with glasses:

       

      "What language is this? ...Ca...careermen? Italian cooking...?"

       

      Next dude:

       

      "Is that the name of a cake?"

       

      Yoko Ono:

      "Is it a brand?"

       

      Lady with curly hair:

      "A cosmetic?"

       

      Obaa-san:

       

      "Whaaa.....a singer?" (then she says stuff way too fast for me to understand and there's no subtitles)

       

      Awkward Gender Ambiguous Person:

       

      "They're visual-kei band names."

      I could get some of that but I wish people would give them subtitles.

       

      Thanks.

  21. 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!
  22. seikun

    More than once I have read Japanese people on YT accusing La'mule of being a copy band.
  23. MTV aspirations have killed Visual Kei.

  24. 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!
