bless them for still sticking with that 2004-10 oshare kei sound 

I know of no band who's cover art is this intense! The artist of these artworks is a goddess

I've always wondered that why most *edgy* vk bands (especially old school bands) are fascinated with "Abortion" as a theme (for eg. Kuroyume's "Chuuzetsu", Dir's "Mazohyst of Decadence"...and basically most of Madeth Gray'll's songs)
 
also, BDSM theme cannot be unseen in vk tbqh (you can imagine already some examples - like say, Malice Mizer's ILLUMINATI?)
 
Also, I suggest that we should compile speech samples used by Vk acts, considering that there are tons of them (not only Nazi-like ones lol) like for eg. Dir en grey sampling  Charles Augustus Lindbergh in MASK intro, Girugamesh sampling Lenin's ""Comrades, soldiers of Red army,- English, American and French capitalists are fighting Russia" -speech in Mouja no Koushin AND Baiser's yet questionable samples in "Mechanixx"

I am not a hundred percent sure about alice in wonderland stuff. My best guess is probably have to due with the concept of an innocent girl in an unknown mysterious world...but that depends on the bands though. What band actually heavily relies on this concept?
 
 
The vampire thing has to do with never ending life and how shitty that is especially when you have developed some meaningful relationships with other mortals. The thought of continually losing a loved one, and you can't do anything about it, makes it a curse. Turn them into a vampire themselves? But that only leads them to the same path as the vampire and would only mean they would have to go through the same ordeal as the vampire. Out of this is the appreciation of mortal life which ties in to the rose. Like a rose, mortals will have a bloom during their lifespan and eventually die away after. This thought is much more noble way to have had an existence and brings about longing to eventually join the people they have loved in the afterlife. But that is wishful thinking as they are vampires and are immortal. Lastly, all these concepts lead to one thing and that is the appreciation of life and those that you love while you are still alive. Also, possibly just a Japanese way of thinking, it is better to just have an ending in life and be content with everything you have gone through than to continue without a sense of fulfillment until you die away.
 
I am only speaking from my experience (and probably over thinking) of vampirism with Versailles which has more themes about undead.
 
 
Edit: Can somebody possibly explain kiryu?

my opinions about nazi and alice in wonderland in vk (bullshit alert) :

What happened to the moon and why is everyone crying for it

And one thing I've always wondered is that whole nazi theme. There are too many songs that start with Hitler speaking XD

Hey guys, I've recently started transcribing J-Rock songs. I've decided to post the sheet music on Youtube where the download link for all parts can be found. I can't guarantee that you'll learn them quickly, but the tabs I produce are as accurate as I can make them. If there are any comments on the sheet music, send me a PM through MH, Youtube, or Blogger.

Cover art for the DVD:
 

Sigh... I really liked this bad a lot -.- I am so tired of bands that sound like one another going on forever but bands that have little distinct or huge distinct differences keep getting thrown by the wayside -.- Then they dont make enough money and fight about  musical direction then break up... Why does this happen to bands I like ! I dont think there is anyone that really sounds like them yes?

3 months ago I recorded my first vocal cover and for today I felt like revealing it

 

Check out my soundcloud in case I've added more songs xD

 

*Note: I don't own professional recording equipments. I use GarageBand from my Mac Laptop to record my covers.

 

*Note 2: Pronounciation might not be 100% accurate as I'm not Japanese XD

 

Note 3: Song requests are welcome, as long I don't need to scream in it or something XD

 

Linh's vocal cover list



 

 

#1 [Vocal cover] Diaura - Lily

*note: I have recorded this song mulitple times because I failed on the lyrics.

From all ~30 (?) samples, I choose this one for the best

 

 

Feedback is always welcome, but don't be too harsh on me XD

BORN DRINKING GAME:
 
Take a drink everytime you hear a one-worded background yell during the chorus. Ex: Hey! Yeah!

[track list]
01.A Buried Hopes
02.Division
03.Freak Out
04.Everlasting
05.Prophecy
06.Decayed Veil
07.Hollow
08.Orion
09.Remember
10.The Daylight
 

I think the song reminds me a lot of D'espairsRay "MONSTER"-era. The PV is pretty much a copy-paste (member parts in the couch) from Alice Nine VELVET PV. Don't you think?
 
Overall, pretty repetive but OK song, maybe boring if thinking about listening to it without watching the PV.
