  1. I'd like to know about the impact Syndrome left in the Visual Kei scene (in case it did) if anyone knows about it.

  2. I'm curious to know if HISKAREA actually means something...

    1. seikun

      seikun

      I see. It's hard to find annything related to the word.

    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      It kinda sounds like Hysteria, so maybe it's a misspelling of Hysteria?

    3. seikun

      seikun

      Maybe. Although it is pronounced ヒスカリア...

  3. 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.

    1. seikun

      seikun

      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?

    2. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      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.

  4. I've been wondering about Kagerou's members. I haven't heard of them since the band splitted up plus Daisuke u.u New bands, producing music frombehind or retired from music. I wonder what's new with them...

    1. nick

      nick

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

    2. Lereku

      Lereku

      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

      seikun

      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!

  5. If someone could tach me how to post YT videos on the site I would appreciate it. I'm having problems with it now. It isn't as simple as it used to be anymore >.<

    1. seikun

      seikun

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

    2. doombox

      doombox

      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?

    3. seikun

      seikun

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

  6. Interesting to know there was a seemingly Visual Kei band called Gigaslave in the 90's and, Giga Slave was a technique used by Rina Inverse in Slayers, the anime :P

    1. chemicalpictures

      chemicalpictures

      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...

    2. seikun

      seikun

      That's interesting too.

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

  7. Is it true that Baiser's Yukari and Shaisuke were dating back in the day?

    1. Alkaloid

      Alkaloid

      The only places I've seen that are random anime forums and old fansites.

      Probably just weird fangirl fanservice fantasies. (Try saying that 3 times fast.)

      They would be a cute couple though :3

  8. Is it true that the Yakuza also have their hands on Visual Kei? If so, why?

    1. Tokage

      Tokage

      BANGYA PUSSY

       

      also money or drugs, most likely

      (although i doubt VK really nets them a lot of money, half the guys have to fuckin survive with part-time jobs lel)

    2. seikun

      seikun

      A bit dangerous.

  9. Is Lm.c still active? Haven't read or seen anything about them in a very long time.

    1. violetchain

      violetchain

      Yep, just released a new album in December.

       

    2. seikun

      seikun

      I see. Thanks.

  10. Is Loop Ash still active and producing bands?  I entered Loop Ash's website and only saw announcements for Mask revival, but didn't find any access to other bands...

    1. Biopanda

      Biopanda

      As far as I know, LOOP ASH closed their doors years ago with NEU being their last band. I'm pretty sure that Michiru is just using the name now for the MASK revival and nothing more.

    2. seikun

      seikun

      Oh, I see.

      It actually sounds depressing how VK keeps losing its sort of old pilars u.u

  11. Is something happening with the Visual Kei scene in Japan? I've noticed quite a number of new bands posted on here recently whose sound is reminiscent of Visual Kei ranging from the late 90 to mid 2000's. It's mainly the sound but the aesthetics, the hairstyling also reminds of those days. It makes curious.

    1. nekkichi

      nekkichi

      probably just the scene itself reflecting on an era when flexing a 24-string bass (while ending up playing for 20 ppl) wasn't a requirement idk

  12. Is there something wrong with Yunisan lately? It's the best site to keep track of old Visual Kei bands but now I can't find some bands. I could swear NéiL's discography was there before.

    1. Tanishi

      Tanishi

      It works if you access the band's page through googling band name +yunisan (at least for me). The main list page doesn't work though.

    2. Seelentau

      Seelentau

      Some band pages don't work, others do. There was a short talk in the MH chat about it recently.

      Other than that, I can only recommend vk.gy as an alternative. :]

    3. seikun

      seikun

      I see.

      That is the best site to check old VK bands' discographies. I need it!

  13. Is this Gill'e cadith's vocal Karuna? Just found his new band, 君は鋭くhttps://www.instagram.com/karuna_world/

    1. cvltic

      cvltic

      Yep, same Karuna!

    2. seikun

      seikun

      So much time since Gill'e cadith.

      Thanks for replying.

  14. It's so refreshing to listen to Syndrome after many years. Currently stuck with Sosei.

  15. Kiryu's Mahiru was in Lυτёη∀?  😮

    That means he is getting close to 40 then.

    1. anadentone

      anadentone

      yeah but his nose is closer to 2 lol

    2. seikun

      seikun

      Oh.

      His nose was OK. He looks strange now.

      But incredible how time flies. Makeup makes wonders yo hide your age.

  16. Koibito by SHAZNA is full of Mono no aware. That gentle sadness that is hard to describe but you can feel it in the song.

  17. Listening to Nami tamaki's Believe is making me really nostalgic. I can't believe it's 12 years since I watched her vid on TV, recorded it on tape and showed it to my mom. I feel like it was yesterday. Time is a cruel thing.

    1. Hakari

      Hakari

      That was the first album I ever bought in terms of Japanese music. So many memories. I showed the album to my parents when I bought it as well.

    2. seikun

      seikun

      I still remember, it was in july 2004 when I first watched Believe PV. I made my mom watch it like 8 times in a row while I was telling her about Japanese music. It very late at night but my passion for Japanese music could not be refrained within me XD

       

       

  18. MTV aspirations have killed Visual Kei.

  19. Needing help with kanji reading again. Does anybody know how this is read 謎掛? It's a song by Tinker Bell (キョゾウの謎掛). Google Translate says "nazokake", but I would like to confirm. Thanks.

    1. Duwang

      Duwang

      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)

    2. seikun

      seikun

      Thanks for the help! :lovely:

  20. Now, it's 10 years since DOREMIdan released Rollover seishun and the PV remains impossible to find. It will become and unwatched legend.

    1. Himeaimichu

      Himeaimichu

      What DVD was it released on? Chances are, it's for sale somewhere

    2. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      Whatever happened to them anyway? Disband or hiatus?

    3. seikun

      seikun

      That release is surrounded by mystery. They announced it with a preview on Youtube back in 2008 and you could see some of the PV, but after a time the preview was removed. Today you can still find it on Nico Douga. As for the PV itself, it looks like it was never officially released. I can only find the maxi-single without the PV for sale.

  21. Out of curiosity. Since when did Visual Kei musicians begin to use electric hair straighteners to get their hairs incredibly straightened?

    1. nekkichi

      nekkichi

      I don't think straightener matters that much tbh. a round brush + strong hair dryer combo does the same thing, and has been around for decades ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    2. seikun

      seikun

      But during the early and mid 90's their hairstyles were a mess XD

       

    3. nekkichi

      nekkichi

      lol I think it's the trends of that time to blame, not bands or their (lack of) straighteners

  23. Religion is destroying the world.

    1. Elazmus

      Elazmus

      You guys misspelled 'Pokemon GO'

    2. seikun

      seikun

      No, I firmly mean religion is destroying the world. Religion is not good because it promotes unfounded ideas as universal truths and then they cannot be questioned and people do whatever it takes to defend and impose those unfounded ideas.  Mnay o these ideas and premises affect people unjustly like LGBT people and women.

      By "the world" I'm sure you mean "human civilization" considering this rock we live on doesn't care what we teach our kids on it.. while THAT is an arguable possibility, it's really misdirected because "religion" as a concept is what formed our civilization in the first place. In the end it doesn't matter if we still call it "God" or not, it's a colorful explanation of the human condition through the ages. I am not religious but I recognize that the community around me wouldn't have been born without it. I'm sorry I definitely feel you, there is so much in current affairs to be in outrage over, it's just not conducive to swing the bat at "religion" when in fact there are droves of devout religious human beings who's ideals DO stand alongside yours in the better treatment of others.

  24. Remember the days when we liked SectMateria and we kept wondering if Mar was a guy or a woman? Ahh, those were the days^^
