-timecapsule-

Oh, come on ...of course it's crap! It's just a selection based on personal whims rather than any historical importance of forgotten bands that never went anywhere, barely released jack, didn't have a particular impact on any scene etc.
 
But it's good crap! I love this sort of crap! I stand for my poor taste
 
Nah, but seriously - thanks again! I'll try to get something new up this weekend if I find the time.
Hopefully, it wont be too bad PM:ed you about FRUSTRATION btw!
 
Yeah, 水色の太陽 just hit me like a rock for some reason ...just felt like a pure VK piece, you know? Like something that really couldn't be born out of another genre (maybe not the preferred nomenclature here, but I do think you can classify early, post-LUNA SEA visual kei as a genre of it's own ...but that's another story).
Actually hunted down and bought me a copy of the tape, even though I don't have a working tape deck ATM, haha!
 
There were definitely some gems in Hiko's post-PVLN career, "Vibration" being a personal fave:
 

 
I was in touch with dude on Facebook ...really super nice dude. Was hoping to meet him in Japan when I manage to haul ass over there for a visit, but it seems shit does indeed happen.
 
 

It's no crap at all! I think I can speak for many who have little to no knowledge about the music scenes and eras you post about and this is what makes your blog so worthy for me I mean, I had a feeling that there would be tons of great stuff out there but no idea where to start looking. Your work is appreciated, looking forward to anything you'll dig out next time XD

Amazing that the song had such an effect on you, SHiNA and GUY were a perfect team for creating such timeless compositions
I had a similar experience when finding your post of フラストレーション. Maaaan, WORMS speaks to me on an almost spiritual level. I'd die to hear anything else by them!!

Thanks, I've snagged the whole album from your other blog already, heh. Heck yeah, they rock so hard I love ラストダンス especially as it's catchy as fuck <3 Close to that comes 窓妥, あやつり人形, おばあさんのおしり and ウニャムニャ. Ah forget it, the whole thing is amazing haha. Oh I'd love to buy some vinyls if I wouldn't lack a player. I just recently bought a tape deck so that has to wait unfortunately...

Aw these are some sad news Were his later projects as good as ピヴィレヌ? Never read these names before.
 
/lol I hope it's not too off-topic to chat in here, feel to PM me!/

^ Your blog was the main reason for me to get on there. I've deleted a while ago but I regularly check your posts! Whenever you post something I need to hold my breath and it ends up making my day! Please never stop Also, PVLN, hnnng. So good.
The one time sempai noticed me because he reblogged and commented my post of a NOISY CROWDS song has been the highlight of my tumblr-experience, haha!

Shamelessly promoting my tumblr: http://habitofsex.tumblr.com
Various obscure Japanese junk from my collection.
New wave/goth/synth/post-punk/power pop/neo-mod etc. ~75-95 ...with some old school VK thrown for good measure 
 

you ain't luna sea

Impressive preview! I also like the artwork.
