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...
-
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 love this band and this song captures me the most. The music style, the lilt, they have an hypnotic effect. The dramatic interpretation, the theater on stage. Love how the drummer is completley absorbed by the song. It makes me want to play the drums too. I wish today's VK learnt from bands like Veill.

@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

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

Can Malice Mizer's music in its last era really be classified as goth? All the goth bands I haver ever listened to they don't sound like that. I think there's a stereotype about goth music only because in part the goth aesthetic is inspired by the baroque period, but that's not necessarily the type of sound that chacarerises goth music. The same about Moi dix Mois's music.
-
Does anybody know anything about that singer called Aoi? He once released a song called EDEN and made himself a bit notorious in 2008. He laso cultivated looks very reminiscent of HYDE. Wondering where he is today.

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

A friend of mine is so happy because her all time most fave VK musician (Emiru from Lareine) has liked several of her IG pics.

Amafurase Tanmaina by Kagrra is one of my all time fave songs since 2005. I'm living an renewed obsession with the song that is amplified by the mysticism in the lyrics about a god, powerful and terrible that makes people be in awe.
-
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 >.<
-
I jjst realised there's no download section anymore. Just read the thread baout too. Not everybody has the money and means to buy stuff. It was illegal downloading that gave VK bands to world tours and find their music bought by people around the world. Illegal downloading doesn't necessarily harms bands.
-
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.
