    I said it once when I came across GRIEVA for the first time. I feel disconnected from today's Visual Kei, I'm not attracted to the current scene and music. Even though GRIEVA was clearly taking a lot from Dir en grey I didn't care because I love the sound and style of old school Visual Kei so it made happy to listen to a band that sounded more like the old bands. Now, ideally it would be awesome if bands were genuinely inspired by the 90's sound while being original.

    I'm sure Yukari-san can re-orientate his career just like when Yukari produced Rentrer En Soi. I would like to see him as a member of a band more than as a solo artist.
  3. 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.

      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.

      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. :]

      I see.

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

  4. I was wondering if someone could translate TO.KI.ME.KI by Missalina Rei. I more or less understand most of the lyrics, but my Japanese is poor so I'm unable to translate it in a decent way so I would really appreciate it if someone can do it for me. Thanks. ト・キ・メ・キ / Missalina Rei Lyrics&Music:彩 永遠を誓い合った 二人の空は変わらない 「綺麗な月よね」と微笑んでた君なのに 今はもう・・・ 大切なものはどうしていつも失くしてしまうの サヨナラで広げた翼、君は遠くへと消えて 傍にいても言えなかった言葉 あれから君の為に流した涙この心このトキメキの全部 今でも伝えたいよ もし、聞こえたなら答えて欲しい「いとしい君」よ 全て、全て忘れさせて美しい恋の花 もし、気付いたなら抱き締めて欲しい「いとしい君」よ 大切なものだから咲かせたい白い恋の花 ら・ら・ら・・・・・・

    I like the band and I want them to last long, but I insist his singing is poor and need improvement. I am used to poor singing in Visual Kei, take for example Hisui (Madeth gray'll), he wasn't the most skilled vocalist but still he managed to sing better. If they want to succeed he needs to improve.

    Perhaps Satsuki should seek Yukari-san's guidance again.

    I think his singing is poor and needs improvement. The other musicians are good, but the vocal is behind and needs to catch up. I'm not saying he has to be the perfect singer; I'm just saying his vocals are poor to the point it needs to be addressed. I listen to many bands that didn't have the best vocalists, but at least they were better and worked on it to make it better. It's their job.
  8. seikun

    The band is good and has potential; just please, someone tell the vocal to improve his singing.
  9. PVs have become less and less imaginative. In the olden days even with the low budget Visual Kei bands found places to film their PVs. You can even simply film at a park at night with nice flashes of light and there you have a more interesting PV to offer.
  10. That indies sound, that very one. We don't have it anymore.

      access to recording equipment and daw's has totally changed the game. i think so much of the 'old indie' sound has credit due to the last era of straightforward recording techniques, before drum triggers, melodyne, and softsynths became the new staples of record production.

       

      it hurts the most when i hear a new band who's got something interesting going on creatively, but its packaged in this gloss of fake drums, self-recorded and surgeon-ed production. atleast the cheap recordings of decades before had an essence of life and passion to them. maybe thats hopeless nostalgia....

      Very interesting comments.

       

      I don't know the technicalities in this but I find something really endearing in this kind of sound quality.

      Agreed with colorfuljinsei about the synthesizers. Don't get me wrong, I love when a band incorporates lush synths, but the majority of 2010s VK that uses synth always seem to resort to that grating, cheap sounding synth like this. Lots of bands (Royz, anfiel, LONDBOY, i.Rias, 0.1gの誤算, and maaaany more) are guilty of it and it's an immediate turn-off for me.

    I actually didn't have any hopes for this but you have greatly surprised me. Thank you very much!
  12. Hi. If there is any chance someone can upload the lyrics of this song that would be awesome. Thanks.
  13. seikun

    Does KISAKI have any chance in today's Visual Kei? I love his music, especially from bands such as Syndrome and Phantasmagoria and I would like him to bring that essence back to the scene, but it looks like no many people are interested in that kind of musical style anymore...
  14. seikun

    He looks great. Why does he need to chang his fashion style? If anything today's VK is the least interesting when it comes to aesthetics.
  15. seikun

    Any videos?
  16. seikun

    They look weird as if trying to acquire caucasian features. You can't call this Visual Kei.
  17. The song is not bad but I'm not interested in another song about heterosexual love.

    I don't have a singing voice, but I do well singing Illuminaty by Malice Mizer.
  19. Now, it's 10 years since DOREMIdan released Rollover seishun and the PV remains impossible to find. It will become and unwatched legend.

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

      Whatever happened to them anyway? Disband or hiatus?

      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.

    Only by looking at the hairstyles I think music is going to be meeeeh.
