Could it a problem within the scene, the management, the rythm of things, etc. that somehow suffocates them emotionally/psychologically...?

Where is the synth sourced from?

 

 

sinners was a band that as 3/5th Pierrot roadies and their music definitely reflects that.

 

Their vocalist is Junno (ex-boogieman, now DAV), and Maya from LM.C is one of their guitarists. Odd that he eventually ended up working with one of the guys his former band looked up to  

 

Never heard of this band before, but the song definitely reminds me of Pierrot's Magnet Holic.

Is there material by them available somewhere, by the way?

What is the impact of Psycho Le Cemu in the scene, by the way?

Satsuki needs to go back to first era's RENTRER EN SOI style.

Do Kiryu ever make sad and/or reflexive-sounding music?

The vocal is sort of emulating Kyo's singing style.

Not bad. I just think the overuse of synth makes the music sound a bit cheap.

of course ! he is a nobody in Japan (like HITT)

Really or just joking?

I would liek to see him in band similar to RENTRER EN SOI again. His voice is capable of conveying those feeling of Mono no aware that I love so much.

These comments sound so depressing >.<

I don't follow his solo career, but what, has he gone down on the popularity scale in the VK scene in Japan?

He has a very beautiful voice and I would like to see him in a band again.

Mezame naki mezame, awesome song.

I don't know if they cn be considered Visual Kei, but defintitely they have a distinct and interesting sound fortunately.

Japanese tends to be very context specific, so it really depends on the context. 

There is also pitch accent, which can help differentiate words that normally sound the same, but that really varies based on dialect. 

I see. It's just that when I see kanji like that used standing on their own while sounding monosyllabic (on'yomi?) I always wonder if the Japanese really understand the word in speech or if bands just use them like that for style even if people cannot really figure out the word by ear...

Ok, so "before they got popular"

 

I waited for their release for ever but never found it. Wasn't it cancelled?

I don't relly know; perhaps it was live-distributed...

But they were an active band anyway. I used to visit the vocal's twitter and he was always taking pics of himself pre and post lives.

I have a question, do Japanese people understand the meaning of 葬 in 薄紅ノ葬 just by hearing it telling it apart from any other sou-sounding word?

You mean the "Asagi broke a condom 20 years ago and quickly burried them before anyone knew" band? XDDD

 

I hadn't seen this topic, but I must mention As'REAL, Malisend and Killaneth as my favorite short-lived bands.

I think people were noticing the resemblance with Asagi when they uploded the first verion of their preview to Youtube which then they deleted because people were complaining about the singing.

I still wait for someone to upload their music...

DissIDear.

So short I don't think many heard about them before...

For me it was GRIEVA.

Since I love old school Visual KeiGrieva more or less sounded like that (Dir en grey-ish) at the beginning, but around mid 2015 the band slowly began to lose that sound, it slowly began to acquire more of a poppish style at the same time that most of their songs sounded uninspired to me, just a lot of songs released in such a short period of time every year.

One has to think not everybody has the financial situation to buy CDs, especially from Japan with those high prices and it is not like downloading illegally prevents you from buying the real stuff once you have the money. Most people want to by the original stuff despite illegal downloads.

It is because of illegal sharing that Visual Kei can receive extra money from purchases from abroad and bands can play outside Japan so it hs brought some benefits for them.

In my particular case, my downloading has dropped drastically given that today's Visual Kei doesn't appeal to me. I mainly try to find old stuff.

INVICTA sounds like Sadie's music or at least it brings Sadie to my mind.

Any samples?

Salvation started awesomely old school, but then the music changed and it lost the hypnotic atmosphere it was creating.

The vocal needs some singing lessons...

What thought crosses their mind to come up with such uninspired  names for a band?

When their music sounds more traditional they sound mystically awesome. When they sound more poppish than traditional their music loses appeal...

Old schoolish

What exactly did Hikaru do in HIZAKI GRACE PROJECT?

I haven't followed his career to the letter but I feel like his best work was Izabel Varosa. He should get back to a style similar to that.

"re:Play" tracklist:

1.パレード (parade)
2.ツクヨミ (tsukuyomi)
3.調布 (choufu) (new recording)

I had no idea about this. How did their comeback to the stage go?

Listening to their songs on Soundcould brings back that 2000's feeling.
