their new full album "GANGSTA" will be released at 2014/09/24, although details have not yet been announced
 
 
btw they will hold their live tour "GANGSTA" since Sapporo club garden at 2014/10/03 and up to tour final at Shinjuku ReNY at 2014/12/06-12/07

1. Everything those old schoolers say is true. VK is in a period of stagnance run by money and looking cute to grab the tweens who want drag queens to drool over.
 
2. VK music was COMPLETELY different back then than what it is now. The music had diverse sounds rather than the same old shit being rehashed over and over. Visual Kei has become a conglomerate of pumping out over produced over done tacky bitches.
 
3. How are they being hypocritical? Their bands could never be easily compared to the sound of another. Now almost all VK bands are just overdone copypasta. And it's the TRUTH. You just don't want to accept it because you aren't mature enough yet to see it. But don't worry, you'll get there soon. We've all been in your position of haughty egoistic opinions. 
 
4. Calling them pricks and saying they should be spat on shows you are wildly immature and need to sit back and take a deep breath and actually THINK before you type. Especially when you are insulting the forefathers of your supposed loved genre of music. With out any of those "pricks" there wouldn't be VK. 
 
5. Anything Pierrot, Dir en Grey, Luna Sea, Kenzi did were all VASTLY different than the generic manufactured VK that is running rampant in the market today. Maybe I'll make an infographic that will show you the lines of descent between these bands and the new acts that are stinking up the place with their shoddy guitar riffs, clang-bang drumming, and cartoon styled vox.
 
666. Get some salve for that bruised ego of yours if you get upset over the opinions of others. You can't change them. And if ANYONE has a say on what VK has become it's definitely the people who laid down the ground work for what is here today.

It sounds like it will become a real band. Hope to be able to see them live 8D I saw insane mind once and they were pretty good.

I love how this thread has outlived this album's fleeting relevance, lol.

Izam for makony after three billion years of her waiting for this flaky cunt of an artist to actually do what he said he would. [MELTY LARGE]

 
Skanky traffic cop hydra dude for miasma, who dafuq is this anyway??? [STILL AT LARGE]

 
Yayoi for marcus! This one was the most challenging because the only pics available of this outfit aren't super duper detailed [WOAHHHH JUST LIKE 17 INCHES]





Aaaand I'm declaring this the last batch! Stay tuned for another round in 2-3 days

@Uglymouth: he had two very distinct + iconic looks in la'miss: sad droopy hair or sad droopy hair with rebellious cowlick. 

as far as i know some vk bands used to have dress codes back in the days for special events, maybe they are trying to do the same thing

VK? All-time favorites then:
 
DIR EN GREY - Ain't Afraid to Die (or embryo, they are equally brilliant)
L'Arc~en~ciel - Hitomi ni Utsuru Mono (since we are talking about vk = vk era, ps. good headphones for better experience!)
MUCC - Kagayaku Sekai (counts as a ballad, I guess?)
Buck-Tick - Dress
Luna Sea - MOTHER
9Goats Black Out - Sink
Laputa -
Gackt - Kimi no Tame ni Dekiru Koto
La'cryma Christi - Nemuri Gusuri
Rentrer en soi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eGygOuQI9c'>TO INFINITY －繰り返される喪失に捧ぐ祈り－
Penicillin - Sincerely Yours
the GazettE - Nakigahara
Kuroyume - Nakigara wo
 
I think that's it.

With you holding that umbrella over the deer it almost looks like something out of a Ghibli movie, haha.

With all due respect, I'm not sure if I see what the problem is. No one has gone into the "New VK vs. Old VK." thread and asked the topic to be changed to "New Japanese music vs. Old Japanese music". Likewise no one has done that for Zess' thread on where VK finds inspiration.
 
Furthermore if the topic had been "Your favorite Japanese ballads", then we'll see things like:
 


 
which might be nice in itself, but probably deserves a separate thread so that people of reasonably similar interests can have some sort of focused discussion.

Passed by Tsutaya in Shibuya yesterday, and with all the reviews here in mind I decided to buy the album, and wow. It's fucking amazing...
