I run 1 hour 3-4 days a week. gibe me free vk plx. nah jk. im too lazy to document my training, but going vegetarian/vegan has had a great output on my weight loss. not that i was overweight to begin with, but it still feels nice.

I was actually going to get tickets for their london show with a friend, but in the end I didn't because I know how Yoshiki works. Needless to say I'm glad I never bought it. Feel a bit bad for my friend who now has a 4 day stay in London without any plans

That's what I thought as well. It's a month left until the actual release, it should be able to be released either way.

Too bad about Pata, but did somebody not see a post-ponement of the album come? :/

Sugizo also withdrawing activities for a while, coincidence? I THINK NOT Sugizo confirmed new member of kuroyuritokage

Inb4 rui from grieva joins kuroyuritokage

420燃やせ

based on pictures from the blizzard it looks like basically anywhere in northern sweden lol

that live picture is a mess tbh. also sad to see all these well known musicians in the scene play in area lol. its almost as sad as kisakis downfall after phantasmagoria

Nice cosplay

Never heard of that last band, pretty cool! Although this is information from Hoshiko himself and an article in a magazine from the early 90's. I guess the reason hide actually is credited might be because he was the first one in X to refer the bands to "visual kei", as well as Yoshiki owning Extasy records. I doubt Murbas nor Visual scandal had little to nothing in common with the vk scene at that time (besides the make-up and stage attire), but of course I could be wrong. Also Murbas used Visual violence (as you can read in the pic you posted), I just posted regarding the phrase "visual kei", which has been credited to Hoshiki and/or hide.

I think that everyone has their own opinion on what kotekote is and isn't, for me the typical kotekote sound was the sound that the majority of the Matina bands had. However, Japanese fans say kotekotekei to a lot of bands nowadays as well. I've even heard people saying Pentagon is kotekote kei. So while it's considered dead in the west, I don't think that's the case in Japan. Some people consider Phantasmagoria to be the last kotekote band (because around that time there was a new visual kei boom (neo vk)). Japanese wikipedia also says this (http://tinyurl.com/hnv6fk5). However, none of my Japanese friends have heard the phrase neo visual kei, but instead uses "kirakira" for these bands. Searcing for "kotekote" in a Japanese dictionary, you'll get the result "over the top, thickly, heavily, richly". And this is where the actual term comes from. According to a site (vkei yougoshuu (lit: Words used in the visual kei scene)) kotekote kei means: Dressing up in black clothes, punk and/or metal-ish stage satire, white painted face with white lenses, black lips and blood smeared on yourself. Of course this is not a 100% definition, but it's nice to see Japanese people's point of view. (source: http://73.xmbs.jp/yahoo-135524-ch.php?guid=on) I personally wouldn't consider the first half of the 90's to be the "visual kei boom", but rather the later half. Simply because the 1st wave of visual kei bands got huge at the later half (X, LUNA SEA, GLAY, L'arc etc) as well as the huge indie boom that took place. Actually the end of the visual kei boom is also credited for the reason to why the indie label Key party had to disband. (Although this is at vkdb.jp, so shouldn't be credited as a real source, but it's nice to see the thoughts of Japanese people). Also, there was a term before the term "visual kei" was "founded" (Yoshiko a.k.a. visual kei oyaji was the first person to ever use the phrase visual kei in media, however he credits hide of X Japan to being the one who coined the phrase). The original term for the early/proto visual kei bands was Keshou kei band (Make-up bands).

Ruchi made a comment regarding this on twitter: "It's free entry and you can feel our past and future at this live only, so please come. We have an important announcement as well, regarding the path we have chosen". https://twitter.com/DK_ruchi/status/691598524681555972 Knowing Yuuga it sounds like a disbandment, but I hope not. I really want them to release more.
