I don't think I've done this before... this is me when feeling more artistic and expressive than usual

1: X Japan

2: Galneryus

3: Dir en Grey

4: Luna Sea

5: Kuroyume

 

I could only find five   most of these are ex-visual kei too lol though most of my non-vkei is classical artists and anime stuff.

Firstly... Sora and I are girls... =_=# I've never had issues with being a girl... O.o

Secondly... Do you guys think that doing an online collaboration would mean having a less hard time finding members?

 

At least starting out it wouldn't be a bad idea but it might be harder to get a full band sound online but its not impossible.

 

My project is sort of a industrial/baroque kote kei/gothic fusion most of our songs are just industrial/barouqe but our next album will be more metal and kote kei influenced we also use electronic drums since we don't have a drummer lol. 

 

Its not ideal but it works and it helps with experience and expression, anyway good luck! 

 

 

Good answers so far

If it doesn't work out you could try what i'm doing and that's an online based project!

Try to avoid hiatus bands, for me in order...

 

1:  Moi Dix Mois   

2: Lacroix Despheres   

3: Art Cube   

4: CELL-セル-   

5: Ru:natic   

6: D   

7: Grieva   

8: DIAURA   

9: Mejibray   

10: Pan-d-ra   

 

Kil:erre, Jupiter, and Kamijo's new project (if you want to call that a band) would maybe earn a spot on this list too when they put out something. oh and there is The piass but they haven't been active in years.

 

I also thought it would be a good idea to rate each band if you have time in comparison to visual kei as a whole.

 

I'd like to see others favorites and recommendations.  

awesome lineup i'll have to pick this up only thing i really hate about this is I'm not particularly in love with satoshi's voice and i hate that all the pv's are just satoshi glamour shots... i want to see kaz and setsuna in a video together :c 

I hope Grazioso isn't a cheap low budget pv like when Versailles released two pv's on one album... I wonder when we'll get a preview of that pv? 

although i prefer kamijo personally way more.

i think on of the pro's of jupiter is they kinda look more youthful.

i think my opinion shouldn't matter too much. because i am not a big fan and they (kamijo&jupiter) should do /listen what most of their fans want.

but i am getting tired of this endlessly unchanging style. i was so excited when i thought maybe he would do something else. with less visuals.

he still looks fine and can definitely pull it off the vampire thing . but until when is he going to do the same thing.(until 70?) i am getting a little tired.

i m not sure if he has the voice though for less visuals to succed. i think the biggest pro of kamijo is his personality and appearance for this (haven't seen anyone who can compete with him in that)

I never believed in the whole "oh i have brown hair now, i'm without makeup and i'm more casual i must much more mature now!" i personally wouldn't care if he did this in his 70s besides vampires don't age right?

do you guys hate kamijo's voice in general or just late versailles kamijo? you don't think lyrical sympathy through jubilee he sounds so bad right?

 

I hope kamijo will put out another preview i still think it will be better than jupiter

wow this is pretty good 

so bad

i love his voice so far personally

fuck you eros

sounds bad

I thought i read somewhere that he's retiring? i guess its false or that information hasn't gotten here yet.

If its really true that he's going to release the single under his label instead that's very good news! its best for an artist like kamijo to keep away from the stress of a major corporate label like warner anyway and everything to date released Under "Sherow Artist Society" has been great! while on the other hand every bit of their work under warner except for Asceanded Master and Jubilee sounded rushed, uninspired, and lazy in comparison, well at least to me all i know is i noticed a change in some way with the band after jubilee but i don't know how to exactly explain it. I just couldn't see the passion in them anymore. having a staff nitpicking on every minor detail constantly in the studio only restricts the artist mind i guess. but that's just my opinion.

 

I guess we will see if warner was responsible for some of the changes of the band or not and see how they all fare in new projects.  I have no idea what to expect from kamijo especially he's kind of unpredictable in terms of what his voice will sound like in a way he's always changing his voice so it can really be hit or miss with him so you don't know what to expect. I'm excited what will come of this though.

I don't understand people complaining about Kamijo's voice. He doesn't have a typical voice for metal music, but he definitely has a great voice.

I thought most complained about his voice after jubilee? and the bands general direction at that time?

If only he just got back to his Lyrical Sympathy voice, this solo project would be the best thing on earth.

'nuff said.

Totally agree

Well, the funny thing is: In the thread about Jupiter many users complained about them being better without Kamijo and now in this thread everyone's saying he'll do better than them ... Weird, isn't it?

No i believed kamijo would be better all along i always preferred his songs in versailles too.

Maybe he took lessons from kiwamu and threw chairs at fans 

Despite the chessy announcer voice this kicks jupiter's trailer in the ass! and I'm loving kamijo's outfit too. also i don't know why but I'm getting a noble era kamijo vibe from him right now... my body isn't prepared.

If you can't read then maybe you shouldn't post either.

Visual kei fans are some of the biggest assholes I've ever met. 

They're like one of -the- bands you're pretty much legally obliged to try to when getting into oldschool vk, though

i tried listening to them and i thought they were not that good but that's just me i think mirage or deshabillz are so much better.
