cruel-crucible

I really don't like the preview and their newest slut-look. They could've just gone out naked, that would be even better, probably. But I'm still willing to give them a second chance 'cause just like Zesshoku said, they haven't made any bad songs except EROS. Though I still feel kinda weird when listening to them now x__x

It should be released in November as a second maxi-single, but no further info has been given yet.I'm used to all the KISAKI hate and money thing and I expect more and more dissing to come soon, but putting my love for the man aside, I think it's great he's returned. The old Visual Kei scene is slowly disappearing because of generic bands with visuals that make them look like Johnny's boys and KISAKI's strong pressence may bring back some of the old days. Need more kote-kei inspired bands. Don't give a damn if they're "obscure indies", if they have potential, they deserve at least a bit more attention.

I believe it's Maju from E'm?grief?, not sure though ;3

THIS

This is like... kjdfuihsdfoihs *o* AMAZING. I'd like to see that =.=

THIS. ??? There's a "kei" for everything now?

Yay, good for CP <3 I hope they'll do well.

Same here D:I liked their visuals, but the music was just... meh. They had some cool elements but overall I didn't like it.

Trying to convince anyone of this sort of thing is ultimately pointless. It's not worth it. I'm not trying to convince anyone, I'm just stating my own opinion.

Yes. I do understand when people dislike osare, but saying the musicians are lame without even paying attention to their skills? That's stupid. I myself don't like osare very much, but bands like aicle. are worth listening. Rubi is a damn amazing guitarist and Saran really cool bassist. It's OK if people don't like the styling or the kind of music they play, but that doesn't automatically mean that they suck. It's all about musical preferences. Therefore I don't hate any band.

and also:Megaromania pan-d-ra Anli Pollicino DOGinThePWO ValettA Duel Jewel Megaromania? Hell no.They've been extremely popular lately, you could say that with Lin and NEGA, they create the imaginary "top UCP 3". Though it sounds stupid 8D

Everyone seems to think they were the worst Matina shit, but I actually like them XD BTW, how come in EVERY TW thread there must be a Dir en grey drama? Oh, and how people love comparing Toshiya and Kisaki... you just can't get over it, can you.

^ THIS, BUT: I wouldn't blame it on Hiyuu, it's not his fault. Many musicians who were previously doing the osare style are now in harder bands, or the other way around, so I don't think Hiyuu's responsible for Lycaon's transformation into sluts for horny fangirls.

No idea when I discovered Japanese music itself, must've been during watching some anime I guess. As for J-rock: February 2007, 12 yrs old. Thanks to Acey Slade's Trashlight Vision, who were apparently successful in Japan. They had something to do with Kagerou, I've seen a pic of Acey with Daisuke. Wanted to check them out, and fell in love. First song - Urami Koto <3 Later discovered Plastic Tree, Phantasmagoria, LAREINE, HISKAREA and others. Phantasmagoria became my favorite band and here I am now <3

^ THIS. Enlighten me D: I have a weird passion in record labels, but this is too strange for me as well.

I cry to music only when I feel the need to. But these songs are the best for that then: Phantasmagoria - fairy times memory, Vanish... KISAKI PROJECT - Wasurenagusa Versailles - Serenade Kagerou - Nawa, Mousou Chikashitsu RENTRER EN SOI - Shinwa And for some reason, also some Bach's pieces, especially one of the most famous, Toccatta and Fugue D minor D:

Phantasmagoria. For many reasons - the awesome music and vocals, talent they have, the amazing unity and energy, THE LULZ (yay for Kisaki's tax evasion thingy 8D) They're very precious and special to me. It's impossible to describe, they mean so much to me.

I don't mind anyone's opinions, it's just kinda sad that this thread has more replies than the LOVE one D: Yayaaaa~

So I was right when I read that hisui's blog post o.o It's cool, I'd like to see them.

Absolutely amazing news.

It's not really unexpected, but still surprised me. I'm not a fan, but I know them and know they're very popular, so it's kinda "wow".

I like those new members more, Anmin Kigan was an amazing session band *-*

I'm pretty sure all the E'm pics are from Ameba

Matenrou OPERA <3 BTW, it wasn't a good idea to put the GazettE there, it's obvious they'll win.
