This will be the last haul I will be sharing with you all before MH closes.
 

Trying to stay cute while thinking about my perspectives being a good mom (to be honest I'm extremely sick, both mentally and physically)
Well... who knows...

Heck yeah, this is absolutely insane. Great video & audio, top-notch performance.

Some cool ones that come to mind:
 
- anything by 88kasyo junrei: These guys have been such a trip all the time, hard to choose a release. I'm just glad they exist.
- BUCK-TICK - Arui wa Anarchy: A very strong and playful album after being so long in the game. No choice but to stan.
- cali-gari makes it hard to just choose one, as I'm really fond of both their albums 11 and 13. Crazy/weird/beautiful stuff.
- Chemical Pictures - Sekai wo utta otoko: Yeah, it's a compilation of singles but wow! Creative juices and catchiness overflow.
- DIR EN GREY - DUM SPIRO SPERO: Can't forget this ridiculously monolithic album. DEG goes ham on the avantgyarudo vibes.
- Grieva - Oni to kage / Shuuen: Speaking of DEG... ;D When thinking of full albums in recent vk, I can't go without these two.
- KYOKUTOU GIRL FRIEND - Katte ni shiyagare: One of my most-played albums. A+ punky songs presented in A+ arrangements.
- MUNIMUNI - MAGICAL MOONIES: Another one in heavy rotation. The songs, the sound, the gloom, everything works.
- Psysalia Psysalis Psyche - #7: I know, it's more like a singles collection, but damn. Insanely catchy indie-rock, miss them so much.
- SPEECIES - SOVILLETTA / SEXIVIA: Always fun times with these two records. There's just something irresistible in their style.
- Vior gloire - Gloomy and wakeful night: Possibly in the top 5 of best indies-vk albums of the past decade. 'nuff said.
 
I probably missed a few other greats, but right now these are all I could think of.

Marvelous Cruelty 夜葬曲

I don't know how accurate my numbers are, it looks like the following for my VK/J-rock collection:
940+ CDs (albums, singles, mini albums, maxi singles) 30+ VHS tapes and DVDs 30 Vinyl LPs, EPs, and singles 10 Cassette Tapes 5 Autograph boards 15 Posters 40+ Magazines 50+ photos (most of them being 1st generation VK bands) 10+ flyers I don't know the exact numbers for my CDs or my VHS/DVDs because my bookcase is a hot mess 99.9% of the time and I still have a cardboard box that has about 100 CDs sitting next to it. 

 
If I included the rest of my CD collection (mostly J-pop, K-pop, glam rock/glam metal artists), I would have about 200+ more CDs in my collection on top of my VK/J-rock collection.

Please love this baby.

nearly a month later, it is finally here

Hey, vkgy's John here 👋 Today we have an interview with the current reigning kote kei revival band, La'veil MizeriA!
 
It's just as full of ellipses and strange phrases as you'd expect, but there's some good content too. If you were † born under a tragic blood-red moon... I think you'll love it. Available in English and Japanese.
 
➡  https://vk.gy/blog/an-interview-with-la-veil-mizeria/
 
We post exclusive vkei interviews every Tuesday at vkgy, so be sure to check back every week. Previous interviews include Astaroth, luvielle, and Shuuen no Rasetsu. Check vkgy's interview archive for more.

vkgy latest interview, with a famous vkei writer! 
Also I worked hard on this one so it's a cross post with JROCKNROLL
 
Nagasawa Tomonori (長澤智典) is a music journalist of note, having written for most major visual kei magazines and bands. We had the chance to ask him questions over several weeks, and so we explore his career, and his decades-long view of visual kei from the inside.

If there are people who still have any questions about the "visual kei" history, we can do another round  
So if you do have any questions, throw them to me and I'll will ask them!
 

I'm dying.
