This seemed interesting so I searched about it...
 
Apparently the movie was called Kokuhaku (告白). You can find info by searching 映画「告白」.
 
The overseas title is Confessions, and it seems easy enough to find at those “free streaming” sites. I read that UnsraW was featured as a live act in the movie, but not sure if they really were after all... but maybe you can watch it and find out for us!

I thought we'd talk about vocalists There's only so many ways a guitar or set of drums could sound but with vocals its limitless. We all have unique voices for the most part. Its really interesting to hear many different kinds of voices in music. I thought I'd name like a personal top 5 list and kind of see where this goes from here.
 
1: Kamijo - Lareine/Versailles
 
I complain about him a lot and i haven't been satisfied with everything he's put out the past few years but overall when you take every single track he's ever done and put them together there's a lot of gems to be enjoyed. Its hard to put him any lower. 
 
2: Juka - Moi Dix Mois/VII-Sense/ etc
 
Again when you add up everything he's ever done there's just so many great songs that you can't just forget about. A good portion of his songs have a permanent spot on my ipod and i just don't see myself being able to delete much of his songs anytime soon. 
 
3: KLAHA - Malice Mizer
 
Wish he'd come out of his shell some day. Anyway his vocal work is really nice. Gardenia is a masterpiece.
 
4: TUSK - ZI:KILL
 
Got into ZI:KILL this year and I'd say they've kind of grown into one of my favorite bands already mostly thanks to TUSK's brilliant voice.
 
5: Mikaru - DIO - Distraught Ovelord and BLACK LINE
 
DIO wouldn't be much to me if it weren't for mikaru. A great deep tone and one of the best death vocals VK has ever heard in my opinion. He'd be much higher on my list had DIO stayed around a few more years and released a good quality album. 
 
Honorable Mentions: Seth/Z/Seiji (Moi Dix Mois Art Cube etc), Kaya (Schwarz Stein), Kyo (Dir en Grey), KoHey (Sleep my Dear) , Asagi (D/JE*REVIENS), Yuuki (UnsraW),
 
And yours?

1: Do you buy multiple versions of releases, or buy at all? 
 
A: I don't really buy many or any cd's at all for the time being. At least until i start making some more money. I'm a poor college student but i guess that isn't an excuse to not buy any cd's.  
 
2: Do you collect cheki or other non-music related items from bands?
 
A: No but i wouldn't mind to have some of those things in the future.
 
3: Follow them on Ameblo, Twitter?
 
A: Yes, I follow most of my favorite artists on twitter who have an account there. I also try to translate ameba if i am looking for information about some band members. 
 
4: Would you follow them on the street?
 
A: Hmm... if i just saw them out of the blue walking down the street? part of me would want to go up and say hi but i wouldn't say i would follow them around though lol
 
5: Dig through their trash? 
 
A: Yeah and collect their hair strands.. just kidding  
 
6: Does Visual Kei or other forms of your musical taste influence your style or personal life?
 
A: Yes for sure, I'd say visual kei is a part of my heart and way of being. Both aesthetically and the music too is very important to me.
 
7: Desire to move or visit Japan influenced by music?
 
A: When i finally force myself to learn the language i would love to visit/live there potentially.
 
8: Do you read dirt-sheets of bands, like rumours, gossip, etc...?
 
A: Depends... i guess..
 
9: Ever fantasize about being friends with band members? 
 
A: Honestly? yeah, it would be cool to get to know some of my favorite artists. 
 
10: Do you want to be in a Visual Kei band (or any other kind of band)?
 
A: Yep and i have a project influenced by 90s visual kei music so of course. 
 
 

I wonder which announcement he will announce at his next announcement.

I wonder which announcement he will announce at his next announcement.

Anything but an x japan album would be my guess. 

This thread is gold XD
Here's for betting that he is doing the ending theme for a movie that no one cares about.

Anything but an x japan album would be my guess. 

I introduced my girlfriend to it and now she loves bands like Versailles and A as she was all about K-pop beforehand I think I deserve bonus points

Yes, when i'm starting to linstening Visual-kei, in the same period i meet a girl, I has give her song from Dir en Grey and she became a fan of this band and of visual kei (Yes DeG of 2000's was V-kei xD)
I try with my best friend, many time and time with different band, but nothing to do, he can't like this style XD

I thought this would be a cool topic,
 
have you ever made a fan out of a friend or family member into liking Japanese music/visual kei?
 
 

1: Lareine
2: Versailles
3: Malice Mizer
4: Syndrome
5: Moi Dix Mois
6: Mirage
7: Zi:Kill
8: Madeth Gray'll
9: Deshabillz
10: Aliene Ma'riage
 
For the time being i guess its something like this. 

How can you like cute bands and not like lareine? anyway good to have you here ^^

Lol, that is fucking awful. Hahaha. 
My brain hurts a bit... 
 
But nevermind, at least he's got a lot of safety pins there...

Wait, isn't this another omnibus with Kairu in it? That guy is ace, fucking love his voice and his approach to music. He's one of the few VK-inspired artists who actually gets his shit together in a good way.

Dragon ball *-*

Didn't know we had so many pretty people here haha
 
Here are some new ones of me trying to look 90s vk
 
I don't have any nice clothes so they're shirtless   
 

dayymm i thought it was really them haha

I feel like most stuff released after Noble's been bad... I sort of liked Holy Grail (Masquerade and Judicial Noir was really good), but the last release was just a big meh IMO.

Seriously. Nobody here would openly mock a person for showing signs of age, being overweight  or simply not having been born good-looking- and think that behaviour is acceptable, right?
Then why should it suddenly change when the person in question is wearing nonconformist clothes?
 
Why do you have to be either young, beautiful or famous to wear certain things?
 
I'm not saying I never make fun of other people. Or other peoples clothing style, if they suck at it. It's just that I don't get why there should be something like an ~unwritten rule~

He looks like whatshisface from Misaruka

Juka... brown really isn't your color bring back the silver hair!

dayymm i thought it was really them haha

Good bass playing

Nice to hear that everything is shaping up the way it should~!
If I wasn't such a youngin' and uncomfortable with my skills, then I wouldn't mind joining as bassist.
Anyways, I hope everything continues to go well, and I'll be looking forward to hearing some songs as you guys move along
