So, um, I crossdressed some days ago.

 

Nice you look kinda like kaya.

Strange how the MV song has no harsh vocals at all and here he's going balls to the walls with it. 

Bring it on old kings. 

Wow this is pretty good. 

I remember he had some vocal complications back in like 08 when UnsraW went on hiatus. By the time REBORN came out his voice was never quite the same. He sounded okay on inside fear though so I still have a glimmer of hope left.

Ok bros, question of the day:

 

How many of you actually use both hands to take a piss?

 

I got shit from someone for being on my cellphone and using the urinal.

I don't know what bothered me more: the fact that someones jimmies were rustled by my multitasking, or that they broke bro code and fucking pissed in the urinal next to mine lol.

 

 

Why would you need two hands? Unless the thing has a mind of it''s own. Using your phone at a urinal does seem kinda unsanitary though. 

Kyoki ex. Secilia Luna and Insanity Injection as Kim Jong Un.

Sounds really good I need to check them out some time!

Are there no more good vocalists left? I feel like every new band has a good or decent sound and then there vocalist sounds like this. :/

I can deal with imperfect vocals sometimes but every time I hear synth like this in my VK it's next and no thank you. 

MGS5 was free in the PS store so I've been enjoying that. I like the stealth play. 

No idea of knowing if it's true or not. But if it is then it sounds like something the band would have to figure out internally. I don't really care much for band drama as long as they can work it out. 

I just don't like that label. Just call it glam or something else. KISS existed before x japan after all. I think western bands can do something similar but they might not be able to pull off an exact replica. Not unless you're a talented femboy from Sweden who can speak and write Japanese. Forming a visual kei band is difficult enough on it's own. Throw learning to sing an entirely different language on top of that and it just becomes that much harder. And then there's Production, Makeup, Costumes, etc.  All of this work to try and appeal to a small niche of people who'd probably rather just listen to Japanese visual kei anyway.

I'll also chime in with something a little more controversial. White people just don't typically look good in visual kei style. It took me a long time to accept that reality and it sucks I know. We age like shit and our noses are too big. Although girls can usually pull it off a lot better than us guys can. I've mostly given up the fantasy of being in a visual kei band now. I'll always be a fan though because it's shaped my whole life.

oh hey, someone mentioned ナイトメア on here and i get to be relevant again~

i'm taking a guess and assuming your copy of ジャイアニズム is the 2006 VAP remaster, which in my opinion sounds absolutely terrible.

通常版 is two jewel cases w/ tan booklets (& separate catalog #s) [VPCC-84156 & VPCC-84157]
初回版 is one jewel case w/ the same tan-coloured booklet in a black jacket w/ gold trim [VPCC-84155]
They're the same audio/tracklist, only difference afaik is packaging & booklet contents.

i don't know why they thought this was a good idea but this release was remastered to have a similar sound quality to メア's upcoming VAP albums, which i really don't think these songs sound nice with.

i'm not 100% on where this PV actually comes from but i'm taking a guess & saying it was included w/ the first press of 自由奔放天真爛漫 [SDR-021], since that's the first release where the track shows up.
So as far as getting the ~exact same~ audio that's on the PV, check out that disc.

One thing you might want to look into is the 2003 Speed Disk 'original' ジャイアニズム [SDR-049 & SDR-050] (only 1 ver. of release across two jewel cases).
I say 'original' bc every track that's on this disc is ALSO a remaster (except for 華談 & love tripper; they're new recordings here) but imho this master is miles better for every single track, compared to both their  first appearances on various speed disk singles/omnibus and any later remaster/retakes.
I'm a bit biased here but this is definitely my favourite release of メア's catalog, if you call it one release.

I think the sound guy took every instrument's track & slammed a hard compressor on it & drowned Yomi's voice in a stupid amount of reverb, putting it kinda low down in the mix. Both the kind of decisions that should ruin a release but somehow it worked super well here, which is why i'm so pissed the later release went for such a 'normal' approach instead.

Hey thank you so much for your help! It seems like it's going to be some work to try and get my hands on this stuff. I'm only finding it on Japanese sites. 

Hello I've been looking for info about a particular song for a long time.

GIANIZM 2 here sounds much different than it does on the GIANIZM ~ore no mono wa ore no mono~ CD and I'm wondering if they released this other version somewhere? I'd love this version in higher quality if possible because It's one of my favorite NIGHTMARE songs but I just don't know where to find it. Thanks.

EMIRU and MAYU aren't even in the MV. It seems this girl is more in the spotlight than they are and I hate that. I want a real band with the bois. This sounds like a bore. 

I only like the last song really. Completely different sound than what I expected from him.

I think maybe they just needed a break? They were putting out songs pretty fast for a while. They'll be back next year some time imo. 

Dang I guess he really is out of the band.

Sounds okay, I actually was way more impressed by Genesis off the bat. But I think this has potential once I hear the whole thing. 

I feel the sames tbh. This just sounds like megaromania to me so far. 

I'm all for it. 2018 is already shaping up to be a good year. 

Now this is a look I can get behind. 

In no particular order. 

1. UnsraW

2. Kagerou

3. Versailles

4. more

5. Malice Mizer

6. The Piass

7. Megaromania

8. Lament. 

9. DEATHGAZE

10. deadman

If BlESS THIS MESS's new album ends up being a banger they'll probably overtake more or deadman on my current list. My top ten list is not permanent. Artists come and go depending on how I feel. 

They look really great!
