BEHEMOTH - Ora Pro Nobis Lucifer

Unfamiliar with all of those. Well, I know lynch. and the GazettE but I don't like either of them. ∀NTI FEMINISM - スペルマ BUCK-TICK - Die Madeth gray'll - 追憶 RU:NATIC - Blue&Sky ヴィドール - サヨナラ Rosenfeld - Spellbound LUNA SEA - 4:00 AM 12012 - 水槽の中の彼女 DIR EN GREY - ROTTING ROOT RENTRER EN SOI - 転生 I'm not too big on this list actually. Tracks are all a bit so-so but I suppose ヴィドール is the best pick in this one.

That's just worthless to the scene...

Ass. I like ass, especially when they're large and round on men. I think men should wear leggings more often, us women want something to stare at too. Or simply attend ballet classes. I never liked abs, at all. Ripped bodies are just a no-go for me and when I see a guy with a six-pack I'm instantly turned off because in my opinion there is nothing at all quite beautiful about it. And I don't really look at arms? Or at least they're not what leaves an impression on me.

Enuff Z'Nuff's 'In The Groove', most definitely. I absolutely love their self-titled album to bits. abyss - DEATHGAZE idea - Megaromania 信者ニ捧グ謳 - ClearVeil Fortune - Baiser Check Up - BUCK-TICK 痣-Sailla- - SUICIDE ALI Tonight - LUNA SEA when...09:03 - LAREINE JESUS - Lycaon BELIEVE - NéiL Definitely one of ClearVeil's better tracks. Absolutely love it.

And I'll never understand why there are so many people who think his voice is bad. There's nothing that determines he's a bad vocalist, though. Only the judgment of people. I mean, sure, if he sounded like Maria Cross or something, then I'd be there with you. But he's one of the best active vocalists in the VK scene and people are just too thickheaded to hear it.

No Ray, at least. The bassist very clearly appears to be Rena (ex. Vior gloire). Pink docs, and I bet under that photo-frame there's going to be pink hair too, plus his tattoos give him away. I personally don't think Yuu is active at all (knowing what he looks like nowadays, he cut his hair rather short and just looks like your average businessman, and in the photo there isn't any indication of him to be quite honest, if you know his build). San is doing some random session bands here and there so there might be a slight possibility he's the one in the far right of the photo, especially with that skirt-thing going on, but I can't be certain about that. The two full-mystery members are the ones directly right and left from Jin.

Welp. That man will be the death of me. He's quite on fire though, a lot more than what we saw of the last year of Versailles.

Good thing there are still metalcore bands from Japan who don't eventually slide in to the Visual section of the music. (Like NB did)

Mostly GRIEVA. And Vampire Rose. Not specifically for the music, but because of the vines Satoshi keeps uploading. He's hilarious. That, and he hangs out a lot with Setsuna.

AUBE - 激情

Megaromania - Prologue&Epilogue

That's kind of a dick move...

I don't know one single track on your list, sorry. Cry For The Moon - ROUAGE Ta.ga.Ta.me... - OMEGA DRIPP 般若 - Kaya 自殺願望 - Dué le quartz Like a Beast - D'ERLANGER 追憶の花 - EMIRU Stab Me In The Back - X JAPAN Fairy Times Memory - Phantasmagoria Distrust Labyrinth - Megaromania SPEED OF RISE - LAREINE Going with what I favour currently. I've been listening to a lot of Emiru's album lately and it sounds surprisingly pleasant all-over.

It's clear who the guy on the left side of the picture is to UCP's followers (colour scheme and tattoos). And I am pretty sick of how Jin is being used as some sort of scapegoat again — if you don't like him in the first place, why bother coming in this topic and commenting on how terrible you find him? Either way. I am absolutely stoked for this, it's much much better than what I had anticipated for any new bands arising from the UCP graveyard. I really can't wait to hear the full thing.

Kisaki's been notorious ever since he picked up that bass. He might as well have sold those lost tracks to other bands.

^ Finally someone agreeing with me on Transparant Shine, I don't understand why everyone is shredding it to pieces all the time (although probably because Kisaki composed half of it and a lot of people already say his music sucks without even listening to it simply because they don't like him -- which I do not understand either). If everything's going to sound like that, I couldn't wish for a better lineup in this case because it's one of my favourite VK-tracks of all time. For the label... maybe the first single will be self-released, then perhaps, looking at Kisaki's contacts, they'll slide in with BPR, Musoukai (Ray's new label), Sherow Artist Society (?), maybe even Universal (although unlikely as they're major) or he'll again start something for himself. Who knows.

This I agree with completely. Instead of growing, Riku has more or less deteriorated after 凛's first three releases or so (as if forever exists. and their self-titled are still the stand-outs). He sounds bored in my opinion, you could tell two years ago already that he was done with singing for Kisaki, he looks like a gravewalker during lives and his voice pretty much is listless. Sui is lively, still, he's always had great charisma whereas Riku often appears as a total cock. I really hope to see this growing and I wonder how Misery sounds together with Kyohei (or what's his new name), but I guess with three great composers in one band there's the signature sound of Phantasmagoria and Megaromania coming back (man, I love synthesizers and choir-verse).

The Sui + Kisaki combination is like a dream come true, though.

Jin has an unique voice, and most VK fans don't seem to like unique voices nowadays. The criticism he receives is ridiculous, really, having read that last entry on his blog back then about how he thought himself to be a horrible vocalist, and that he let his fans down, it was just terrible to know he'd allow himself to be driven that far up the walls by a group of cunts who, instead of appreciating music, can only criticize it. I thought because of that he was the last one to come back with a new band because of how deep people have buried him, but I'm honestly glad he's back because he is an awesome person with great charisma, and a musician with a tremendous insight in music.

First three volumes of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned - I have no idea why these didn't sit in my collection yet). A shirt from some Korean brand, and some jewellery.

Not really VK, but the intro riff is just a classic rip-off.

Today, I lost my best friend of sixteen years. A dog was my best friend. I rarely ever had anyone else, no one who understood me, wouldn’t judge me, no one who would come to cuddle if I needed it. I don’t care if I were offered a paw, instead of a hand. I even have his paw-prints tattooed on both my wrists since four years. We got him on Christmas' Eve, 1997; a buddy for life, I thought back then... Until he grew older. Recently he'd be very slow, couldn't get up or lay down, wetted the house, and since last night he stopped eating and drinking, started vomiting a lot, and he reeked of death, internal organs slowly failing. He was shaking, had spasms, was whining the entire time. The moment I heard it I took the day off and spent the rest of it with him, until 4PM where my Dad and I took him on his final drive towards the vet... To have my best friend puff out his final breath in my arms was the most devastating experience in my life, to see his lifeless body convulsing with spasms of the aftermath after death, I’m not sure how to deal with it yet…

Nothing in there really gets me up in a bunch perhaps other than The Misfits, however that track isn't really one of my favourites-- RENTRER EN SOI - 分裂LE+DD人格 Lycaon - 結晶華 KISAKI PROJECT feat.樹威&宮脇渉&戮 - 深絆 amber gris - snoozy and roll PERESTROIKA - NEGATIVISION ∀NTI FEMINISM - 爆裂都市 D - Lost Breath ClearVeil - cold prey YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz - YOU ARE THE REASON ネガ - Haunted Jealousy Well that's difficult again. A lot of great tracks in my opinion and a nice variety. I think NEGATIVISION wins this one.
