^ Holy shit that's awesome XD XD XD . Michiro Endo? The Stalin? I want to listen to that stuff *__*
(maybe I feel this way because I'm not staring at his psychedelic PV right now)
Any PV by Guniw Tools can easily give me nightmares. They're not bad though, just hella weird.

SHIINA RINGO!!!!!!!!!!
She's even mixed enka into that bleeding heart, jazz/noise thing. So she officially owns everyone's soul.

Well, if you want me to consider it literally, "kei" doesn't actually mean anything other than to show that "visual" is the style. So the only thing "VK" actually refers to is really just the "V". Lol.
But considering your REAL question, I think the fact that they're "visual" bands really creates the scene. Not in a sense that they care more about the visual part than the music part (which I think isn't true for many of them), but I think it really influences the whole attitude and appeal of the scene. I like how a lot of bands (or maybe just some?) feel free to experiment with different sounds and styles, and similarly influence others this way, because their scene is not strictly defined based on a certain musical style, but rather because they're "visual". And also, it's nice how the visual part of what they're doing may inspire their music. I think it's more about not limiting their imagination (and if you think of it that way, many musicians who are not "visual kei" are doing the same thing). I don't really care if a "VK" band isn't actually visual in the sense of wearing theatrical costume, crossdressing, & make-up and whatnot (e.g. Waive). But it's nice that they're in a pretty awesome rock scene. (And it's pretty awesome how open they are about androgyny and the emotions/attitudes related to it).

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this before, but when I was looking around for amber gris kanji lyrics, I found this page
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hentai_life/arc ... 83177.html
This person seems to think that
「上空8000ft-少年??天国??届?????-??
is a reference to a song by another visual band called Atmos*Note
with the title 「少年??空??届??????/1000ft??
Just a nice thought of what amber gris's influences might be
And I shall go download their stuff 8D

I've been thinking of starting a romaji + translation project of some amber gris (and Chemical Pictures) lyrics
However, I don't have Shoujo no Cuore single (sigh, why didn't I get it when I could have?)
So perhaps it would be nice if someone has the kanji
But I do have 「上空8??????ft?? and Child Forest. Has anyone translated any of those?

I did this when I realized I couldn't find a translation of it online. Might as well post it here even though no one asked. Enjoy
translation:
The one who is crying is me, you know
Pehaps, it is actually good that you don’t know until now
That’s what I think
From the radio, your voice comes flowing
Again, I can’t fall asleep; on the wall, a stuck peeled shell
It doesn't go away, the time that's always passed with you
In my memory, all of them continue to be colored
Blueberry rain flows, stopping the night scenery
I’m calling your name
In the night when even the moon seems to melt away
The silence is beginning to be disturbed
Among the veins of the leaves
A long dance is rolling & spreading around, like a child
Two people get off the night elevator
Doesn’t their inexperienced kiss stop the time?
It doesn't go away, at the back of my eye
I still continue to see the traces of the cat-like you
In the falling rain, the road is colored
I want to meet that bare body again
Blueberry rain flows, stopping the night scenery
I’m calling your name
In the night when even the moon seems to melt away
Blueberry rain flows, stopping the night scenery
Swimming in sweet tears
Let’s go on a night flight
romaji:
naki dashita no wa boku no hou da yo

I think I might try to translate their stuff in the near future
Thank you for the kanji post above!

Breaking news
It's lolita Tenten XD XD XD XD XD
-
Ahahaha I got their free CD complete with a lyrics sheet-flyer somewhere really random (not even a live show)
Um... the lyrics are... "I love you... goodbye" literally
Makes me want to post it here... even translate it, it's just that classic 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D
Oh visual kei
-
I hope it's not the member who wrote "Airashisa," because that song is so annoyingly catchy & punny that it's fricking genius
-
^ Um.. the track titles are different, so unless you mean "same tracks"= "stuff that sound like their usual stuff", then no, I don't think it is
Considering it's called "Virgin Snow Color" -2nd Season- I'm hoping the music takes a step back to the songs that were on Virgin Snow Color. That would be wonderful!I hope Yumehito is good at singing.
I'm going to check first on what record label they're releasing this. If it's major, forget it (because I thought that's what the whole parting with Aoi was about). But if it's not, as you said, I still have some hope. (Yume sings in his session band with Kenzo & Soan, but I've never listened to their stuff).
-
Is he still using the name "葵 from 彩冷??る"? like, the whole phrase as his name? -___-
I feel kinda bad about this, but can't help but think that it's... shady D: As if AYABIE and Aoi (or at least his major record label) are going to have some kind of lawsuit fighting over the name 彩冷??る . Just a bad gut feeling.
Oh yea, and about his manly-looking new PV, I had always felt that Aoi has a really girly side/body language (e.g. his laugh), but he seems like he's always fighting against himself to hide it and stay cool-looking. Just saying. Just another gut feeling kind of thing.
Sorry, Aoi, I don't hate you or anything.
-
Whoa!
And on top of that... so the "one man" is literally one man playing every number for the whole show?
-
whoa, I didn't know they even already have stuff on CD Japan
And on top of that, last time I checked, the pre-order only had 1 copy left
I feel like their international fanbase might be bigger in proportion to their Japanese fanbase, or maybe just plain bigger
-
Ouch... but at least they'll probably form new bands right?
-
Hmm... I think I still like their older stuff better.
But they're still super-fun live XD Uh... actually I went to 1 of their lives with Chemical Pictures, and my friend, who was standing on just the right angle, could see the girls standing at the front putting their hands all over Kyrie's crotch o____O; And amazingly enough he still soloed with his tapping godliness and everything without getting distracted... Oh well ^^; Karin is always smiling and looking so happy onstage, aww XD
By the way, is their name just NoGod now? I feel like I haven't seen the "新興宗教楽団" part in their new flyers...
-
LOVE THEM XD
BUT! They're major, not indies .__.

eeeek 4ge indeed what make up can do.but zill was really cute without make up in some pics i have seen him and hitomi is.
and to post something to not only comment
loki from sugar
o____o
Maybe I'm not as surprised of how Loki actually looks than I'm surprised about the nekkid(?) censored lady XD
Yea, Zill is really cute (in both meanings of the word "cute" haha). Or maybe I just have a bias for people with eyebags X)
^ I don't remember who his friend is ._.;
^ with Tenten X3
^ Everyone in KuRt, minus Yuma ;__;
While it's pretty well-known that Hitomi is effing hott, sometimes I'm a bit surprised of how small-looking he is in normal situations
I don't know if you'll agree, but I almost did not recognize him in this picture (maybe because of the light & blonde hair?)
v 2nd from right
On a slightly different topic, Atsuto & Sizna with Kaya
Sugar (still with Koto)
I'm still really curious about what Sizna really looks like without make-up and glasses. (And I don't understand how he can be 180cm and 50kg while he seems to eat at McDonald's so often D:)
-
^ hmm... I didn't know they tend to do that in Asia (although I'm Asian, lol, I'm that clueless)
Thanks a lot.Also about the funeral it depends if Zill died in the hospital I'm surprised they gave him to his family really soon, but if someone dies at their home or something similar the funeral is held right away. It depends on the family though and the religion of course.
Hmm... I see...... that puzzles me, but thank you for that,
(I really can't imagine that he's no longer physically existing)
Perhaps an interesting "fact" - title of amber gris's single
in Rumors
Posted
thank you *blush*
Yay Chicago!! We need more Jrock bands coming here (instead of just NY & LA D:)
