I think it is too much.

UNDER-MATINA-CODE.

It's time for it now.

If KISAKI had his own label again I think he could help Satsuki find the right direction. Or if they ever teamed up...

Kind of Plastic Tree-ish.

Want to see this.

Didn't like it, especially the overused annoying synth that many VK bands use today.

LADYBABY made it in the beginning but this has no potential overseas I'm afraid.

Incredible voice.

I like enka. Don't think only old people listen to it.

Chilean Mon Laferte is kind of exploring Japanese music with a enka vibe.

I think the experience in the US is not the same as that outside the US when it comes to Japanese music. I feel the US came late to the boom Visual Kei experienced in other places around the world such as Latin America and Europe. For exmple, for US citizens Japanese may be too much of a foreign language and may be less willing to give it a chance while in other countries listening to other language in music may not be that much of  a problem. I don't want to sound prejudiced but I feel the US is very ethnocentric.

But anyway, the Japanese make music to satisfy their own taste and, while it is not hypnotising every single person in the world it has managed to found a place in the west.

It's not like SuG is very representative of Visual Kei anyway so I'm not suprised by what I just listened to here.

He's wasting his voice not singing in RENTRER EN SOI's style. He has such an emotive voice, I wish someone would tell him.

Who is paying for his world tour by the way?

But were there professional cameras for recording in the performance?

I don't know. I hope there were.

They did sell a DVD there, but I forget what it was of.

I wonder what the content of that DVD is considering they haven't done anything together for 10 years.

But any hopes they may DVDise their reunion?

Awesome pics!

I hope there will be a DVD for this.

I wish some people who know the band more could tell us interesting things about Madeth gray'll and their impact in the Visual Kei scene. There are always people who know more.

Intrsting to see that now that they are older with a long music career and they don't have to prove anyhting to anybody they (especially Kyo) have embraced Visual Kei again. But when they began to play abroad they left aethestics just to be accepted by the western audience.

I would be interesting to listen to Kouki sing Missantroop and Ningyo with his type of voice.

Night-ship D reminds me so much of Vidoll's Shinbun masukomi kankeisha no kata e. In some parts it sounds identical to Vidoll's song.

They look ugly in the pics.

Visual Kei used to look awesome, even in the most indies forms.

i'm like 8000 years late but this dude is the inventor of the "air instore" AKA the instore you keep on the store's calendar to save face even though no one is attending so you don't actually hold the event at all.
it's not that he's just unpopular, it's that he's complete despised.

Why despised?

For me their best achievement was Ishoku Othello and that's about it.

I think I like that song; it sounds a bit 2000's and I appreciate the return of decora too

If they stick to that style and keep keyboards away it may work for me.

And talking about Lareine and Dir en grey, again, if I well recall, there is a picture where Kyou is sitting on Emiru's lap.

I think it was Emiru...

I love Lareine's Dir en Gray by the way.

If I well recall, Aliene Ma'riage means Alliance and Marriage.

Too many classifications. Just bring the two of them back and get rid of today's uninteresting Visual Kei.

Just noticed it.

Kilah - Ura no hyou

Lamiel - Gi
