Kenzi needs to do this again.

That combination, I'm in tears.

I mentioned it was unavailable to Judy on Twitter and it seems they launched it worldwide now. Or at least, for Europe https://itunes.apple.com/eu/album/id1061350555?app=itunes

Fall's season is not entirely over yet with some four to five weeks still on our calenders, and already the winter chart (and the one on MAL) is being released. I've only scanned the upcoming releases briefly and this is what I've come up with for next season, not so much at all as the winter premieres look rather weak in my opinion (lots of ecchi, romance, high school stories and harem): Ajin Boku dake ga Inai Machi Dimension W Durarara!!×2 Ketsu Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri - Enryuu-hen Prince of Stride: Alternative Possibilities are Divine Gate and Hai to Gensou no Grimgar, but I am not certain about those yet.

Feel free to be an old-school Visual Kei elitist snob, I am beginning to share a similar sentiment Also, high kudos on Kisaki Project. He deserves more love.

They are not fans. They are delirious, mentally unstable stalkers who seek to ruin anyone who can't live up to the expectation of how band members should be perfect, pure little snowflakes without a personal life. It's disgusting.

It's super sad that the 'fans' have such a massive influence on these bands. It's their personal life that shouldn't concern anyone. People cheat on their partners all the time, and while it's looked down upon, it shouldn't have to decide someone's career or future, and it definitely shouldn't be decided by people who have nothing to do with it. More than half of the world's population would be shunned, jobless and homeless if it would live by the ridiculous sentiments emerged in the Visual Kei fandom. These rabid girls need to step down.

Honestly, is there anything left worth vouching for now?

The last time I purchased Hypno like... fifteen minutes after it was announced that it was available on iTunes. I don't think it requires time to process, it just isn't there.

It's only available in the Japanese iTunes store, unfortunately. Hypno was available everywhere, why isn't this?

They look straight down like an exact mirror of REALies.

I usually don't listen to SuG but this is quite incredible.

If that's the actual music, I'd be disappointed.

He didn't make any band break up and people need to lose this thought as quickly as they can. When will people listen and stop making up their own rumours and accusations towards this man? Kisaki had to end his label because of a lack of funds. All the bands that broke up after that did so out of their own will. If you had looked at REALies and Futurism•Boyz, you had seen that these bands continued to exist after the label ceased to exist because they had a desire to continue. A lot of ex-UNDER CODE members specifically stated that they didn't want to continue under another label because UNDER CODE was their family. And everyone participated in its ultimate demise, chose their own dissolution and future paths. Yes, Kisaki has been the leader of all his bands. But he has good reasons to end them. Phantasmagoria's members had beef with each other, and 凛 is disbanding because of a general lack of interest in the band, and thus a lack of funds to continue. Their concerts are literally 5% 'normal fans', and the rest are friends and family to the band (including other bands their members, and a lot of ex-UNDER CODE guys). They can't continue to exist with a minimum level of interest because the scene is changing and it bears little place for bands featuring musicians who are 30+ and older, or lean towards the original, melodic approach on Visual Kei.

I am not too saddened, strangely enough (probably because I saw this coming two years ago already). They have no place in today's heavier form of the Visual Kei scene, even I know this while they are my favourite band and I can sincerely say that this is the best possible option if they don't want to completely burn themselves out. They aren't heavy, they have all passed the age of thirty, and they've all been dabbling in the indies scene for far too long and were always somewhat stuck in place and couldn't advance because constant change held them back. It was quite clear earlier that their hiatus spawned from a lack of interest in the band due to the scene's changing environment, one that calls out to both younger musicians and younger fans. Less and less people apparently attended their lives and their popularity sunk desperately after Riku left, sales were awful, and I believe they'd only receive their funds from local musicians, friends and family seeing as you'd never actually hear anyone else about their music. Kisaki has been pressed on negatively for too long and it seriously damaged his reputation in the sense of former fans no longer enjoying him and his music. I had a great run with them after I discovered their music through Youtube several years ago, I believe my first experience was with As If Forever Exists., and this still remains one of my favourite songs and music videos. I can't believe how much merchandise I've collected by them, and it's still expanding as occasionally I find something I either wasn't aware of yet, or simply hadn't been able to find before. They're calming, atmospheric, magical and simply beautiful in a way that I can't find in a lot of other bands. I will continue to follow them, no matter their directions. Kisaki is primarily my main interest in music and I'll support him in every case. I know his patterns and that means he'll be back with something next year, frankly I am not too worried about that.

Or not, cough. Disbanding.

There were quite a few camera men at their last live according to sources and images taken at the show. I think it's a final DVD release. By the way, their webshop is undergoing maintenance.

It's really saddening that I can't go a day without seeing some sort of negative attitude towards Kisaki, whether it's on this forum, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or elsewhere online. People obviously don't understand how frustrating it is when your favourite artist is the subject of everyone's spite, almost daily. I've been seeing this for the five or so years that I've been a fan of him and there are times where I just can't take it. A joke is fine, but when it's ultimately the only thing people can do, they just need to leave him alone and comment on him no further. I am aware that I am one of the very few people on this forum who likes his person, and the slight number of fans probably make it easier to trash someone, but come on...

That happened so quickly and far too soon for someone so young and so full of life... my condolences to his family and friends, may he rest forever.

^ How is an entirely (minus one cover song) Swedish album even related to Visual Kei?
