An extra string doesn't automatically equal djent. It's just a fad that bands are using now to equal "MOAR STRINGS MEENZ MORE BROOTAL" ...

I don't understand the point of using extended range guitars when you write the majority of your riffs on the top two strings...

Very easy : First wave.
Although I'm much into the early bands (BUCK-TICK, BY:SEXUAL, AUTO-MOD etc.), the first wave is the one that's got the bulk of bands I like (Kuroyume, Malice Mizer, Plastic Tree etc).
Also, little note, I've seen all these bands play live since I was in Tokyo during the first wave.
PS: Kuro Yume Live at La-Miss Ration 1994. Shot by me.
 

 

Yeah both bands are ok, but their style is so very different and generally IN YOUR FACE all the time. Kagrra, had a different feel and an elegance to it. I wish more bands tried going for that. PLUS, the whole japanese sound thing makes it easier to appeal to a wider audience abroad, who WANTS to listen to something EASY BREEZY, JAPANESE-Y with a rock edge.

Listen to this:
 
 
How can people not miss this kind of subtle, sexy japanese-ness? What a great fucking band.

Dudes, you were supposed to be rivals! But, this is AWESOME. If PIERROT returns, I need to see them.
 
Edit:
PIERROT復活! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

yas @ pierrot revival!
 
un-yas @ pierrot working with that trash
 
(yas @ lmc presumably being finally dead)

Making me choose between my three favorite VK bands (excluding LUNA SEA because they're in another level) is NOT OKAY.
 
That being said, I'd take a new Kagrra, any day. Neither Wagakki Band or Kiryu come close to what Kagrra, once was. They were an one-of-a-kind band, even during their heavily criticized major period.

Rentrer definitely.
 
Does anyone else see them as the continuation of Baiser? No shared members, except for production, but they're what I imagine Baiser would've evolved into if they carried on another decade.

35-47 min or so
anything above that has to PROVE its length

Up until 45 minutes should be the standard. Anything longer than that can be quite tiresome if the mood isn't right.

I'm def. going to one of these!

Awesome song.

Always dug Brilliant Years too:
 
 
Not a fan of P'UNK~EN~CIEL, tho. The yuki remixes are a mixed bag. Some are ok. Most of it aren't.

Personal favorite!

also, to add to this thread:
 
Japan finally passes the proposed law that outlaws all ''brutal'' music, thankfully ending shit kei forever
