seikun

Two of them are active in STEREO.C.K.

After the disband of Kagerou Yuana had joined the band boogieman when boogieman he join the band STEREO.C.K, the line up of STEREO.C.K is on vocal Sena (ex-Sel'm), on guitar Yuina, on bass Kazu (ex-Kagerou) and on drum Amon (ex KYOKUTOU GIRL FRIEND).

Kazu was the bassist for DIMMDIVISION then he join the band the god and death stars created by Aie (ex Deadman, ex the Studs.....) he also formed STEREO.C.K and he is session bassist for some band like The THIRTEEN.

And for Shizumi at the end of Kagerou he became drum teacher then he rejoined the band Lion16 but I don't know if this band is still active or not 

I had forgotten about Boogieman!

 

I checked out STEREO.C.K and liked the songs I listened to. They sound very much like old VK, but with a tuch of Kagerou's style.

 

Thanks for the info!

That's a lie, that's why

If he's not reacting to Maria Cross' porn video, then I don't care.

oh yea, I've been following Ryan too for a while now! one ok rock blew him away

@inartisticAre you sure about the ふ kana used to be representing the "U" sound? (う)? Because, from what I've read on the Japanese sound shifts, the は row Kana used to be pronounced with an F sound, and the pronunciation of ふ was the only one that stayed the same, wherewas the other Kana in the は row were

 almost completely changed throughout history, and now kind of represents H sounds unless used as a particle. (Basically, the transition for, say the Kana へ would have been Pe > Fe > He/We/E (The We part obviously being obsolete) I'm not trying to correct you, or anything. I'm just wondering where you got your information from, because I'm curious to learn more, actually, since I read a lot about archaic forms of the Japanese language, since a lot of the Vkei vocalists I listen to pronounce things in older ways and use obsolete phonemes. 

@AimiGen7Tbh my knowledge about the subject is only cursory--basically from trying to figure out song titles like seikun was. (I didn't even know about the “shifts” you mentioned! Pretty cool.) Here are a few links that mention it, and hopefully you can find something a bit more concrete.

@inartistic From what I see, the only source above that has any romaji (Romaji is pretty much the only way to represent the sound shifts xD) is the first source, and it assumes that ふ was once pronounced as Hu, which is quite incorrect. For some possibly complicated linguistic reason, all the "h" Kana were once pronounced with an F (as I mentioned earlier) and it just happened that while all the other Kana went through pronunciation shifts, now being stuck inbetween starting with an H sound, a W sound (in the case of は), or just being a plain vowel.

Though I will give credit where credit is due on the thing about the name Kaori once being spelled as and pronounced as Kawori. They're quite right on that.

But yeah, in essence, Japanese has never really had a "hu" sound. 

I guess the best way to describe the Japanese sound shifts is with the Iroha poem. I'll put down the pronunciations and what time period they would be used in:

Old Japanese:

Iro Pa Ni Popeto, 
Chirinuru Wo.

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naramu

Uwi no okuyama

Kepu koyete

Early Middle Japanese:

Iro Fa Ni Fofeto

Chirinuru Wo

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naramu

Uwi no okuyama

Kefu koyete

Late Middle Japanese: 

Iro ha ni hoheto

Chirinuru Wo

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naramu

Uwi No Okuyama

Kefu Koyete

Early modern Japanese: 

Iro wa ni woweto (In theory, it'd be like this, but in practice, the line at one point could probably have been Iro wa ni hoheto. The changes are gradual, so this is theoretically how it would have been, but not practically)

Chirinuru wo

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naran

Uwi No Okuyama

Kyo Koyete (Some time during the middle Japanese period, some words with the ふ kana were being pronounced with a yo sound, sort of. IDK really how to explain it though)

Alternatively, Early Modern Japanese could have been also pronounced as:

Iro wa ni oeto

Chirinuri wo 

Wa ka yo tare so

Tsune Naran

Ui No Okuyama

Kyo Koyete

And here is the modern pronunciation:

Iro Wa Ni Oedo

Chirinuru O

Wa Ga Yo Dare Zo

Tsune Naran

Ui No Okuyama

Kyo Koete

Yep, just released a new album in December.

 

I see. Thanks.

Dota 2 also has a character that was based on her. Used to be called Lina Inverse in Dota 1, now its just Lina. her skills are also inspired by, Dragon Slave, Laguna Blade...

That's interesting too.

I always loved how impressive those techniques looked in the anime.

I do that just like before but it doesn't shows the screen; it shows the url >.<

That's strange, can I ask you to post about this in the help section so I can have one of our sysops look at it for you?

I'll see to that. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would also have to disagree with you, I buy a lot of cds and I do understand some people do not have the $ and thats okay but when you use that as an excuse to justify only downloading thats not okay. I use to avidly share on here but when i see posts like this i feel used because people only care about the downloads. Bands work hard for their music. They want to do what they do for a living and if everyone downloads most likely we can expect a disband. Especially vk... vk doesnt have a big audience(compared to other styles) so these bands need all the help they can get. My stance on this is... do what you can for the band, ull b surprised to know that colecting cds is pretty fun. More sales = more promotion = more tours = world tours. You think gazette got a world tour because everyone illegally downloaded? Bands need sales otherwise theres no funds to support any kind of tour or even feed themselves.

Availability of Japanese music on the net is what gave VK bands the possibility to expand the horizons of their music in the world. Not everybody has the money to buy  music from Japan or the means to do it but illegal downloading never stopped people from buying original stuff once they had the money as it is the aspiration of most people once they get a job that allows them to do so.

Yup. It's なぞかけ.
For future reference I recommend looking up kanji in  jisho.org. If by chance you don't get any results you can google the kanji with 読み方 (ie 謎掛 読み方)

Thanks for the help!

Thnaks for replying.

I took the file from the legendary Evil-en-lucifer.blogspot a few years ago and it was titled Chi ni chi ni ki ware, but I noticed other files and songs were also wrongly romanized.

 

http://jisho.org/search/%23kanji 飢 according this source, 'uware' sounds like a truth...

I think that site is reliable.

 

Thanks for the help^^

he retired after 176BIZ afaik

Oh, that's unfortunate. Kind of nostalgic for the "old" days.

lol I guess so? you will just get it DM'ed, instead of shared on the downloads forum.

I used to like them in the past, but there's this album I have never listened to 

Yes, that is the same guy! Also vocalist of キャンゼル (Canzel).

I see. Thanks!
