Hey there, everyone! Today I bring you the lyrics of Vexent's latest single "THE FATES", thanks to the awesome @-NOVA- who provided me with photos of the booklet *_* 
 
1. THE FATES
 
Kanji:
 
手を合わし黒く染める
その手には光と影
 
*again…
断罪その身に捧げ
憎しみ絡ますこの現世
 
願いも祈りも見放されていく運命
これが真実？
Day of the fate
生命のその糸
『無慈悲』  断ち切るその手に
刻まれていく  憎しみの数
 
手を合わし黒く染める
その手には 未来なんてないのです
 
*REPEAT
 
掌  合わせる
そこに願いを乗せて
この身を捧げよう
Ah...
運命を描こう
神よもう手遅れなの？
刻まれていく  願いの数
 
存在さえも孤独で
独りになるのが怖くて
この先もずっとこのまま？
それなら今すぐ私を殺めて
 
願いも祈りも見放されていく運命
これが真実？
光と影
深く深く深く眠るわこのままずっと
again…
 
Romaji:
 
Te o awashi kuroku someru
Sono te ni wa hikari to kage
 
*again...
Danzai sono mi ni sasage
Nikushimi karamasu kono gensei
 
Negai mo inori mo mihanasareteiku sadame (unmei)
Kore ga shinjitsu?
Day of the fate
Seimei no sono ito
"Mujihi" tachikiru sono te ni
Kizamareteiku nikushimi no kazu
 
Te o awashi kuroku someru
Sono te ni wa mirai nante nai no desu
 
*REPEAT
 
Tenohira awaseru
Soko ni negai o nosete
Kono mi o sasageyou
Ah...
Unmei o egakou
Kami yo mou teokure na no?
Kizamareteku negai no kazu
 
Sonzai sae mo kodoku de
Hitori ni naru no ga kowakute
Kono saki mo zutto kono mama?
Sore nara ima sugu watashi o ayamete
 
Negai mo inori mo mihanasareteiku sadame (unmei)
Kore ga shinjitsu?
Hikari to kage
Fukaku fukaku fukaku nemuru wa kono mama zutto
again...
 
2. Stupid Pain
 
Kanji:
 
*この悪夢、疑心、嫉妬に侵された
私それはbeast
 
**我に飛び込む妄想
見覚えない温もり
私のじゃないその手
 
*REPEAT
 
***見たくもない存在
見覚えない香り
私のじゃないその手
 
****pain heart pain

3. care
 
Kanji:
 
ずっと問いかけてる見えない答え
君は数えてくれたね
まだ少しだけ不器用だけど
君にこの歌捧げよう
 
どうして涙が溢れるの？
どうしたら君を満たせるの？
 
ただ君にこの歌を言葉にならない歌を贈ろう
枯れた叫びでもその心が離れていかないように
 
love yourself.
 
どうしても自分に負けそう
そんな時はぼくの声を聞いて？
 
君にこの歌を言葉にならない歌を贈ろう
涙溢れても君の中に愛を連れて行く
 
これからもずっと同じ景色を見続けて行こう
消えそうな時は不器用だけど愛を歌うよ
 
Romaji:
 
Zutto toikaketeru mienai kotae
Kimi wa kazoete kureta ne
Mada sukoshi dake bukiyou dakedo
Kimi ni kono uta sasageyou
 
Doushite namida ga afureru no?
Doushitara kimi o mitaseru no?
 
Tada kimi ni kono uta o kotoba ni naranai uta o okurou
Kareta sakebi demo sono kokoro ga hanareteikanai you ni
 
love yourself.
 
Doushite mo jibun ni makesou
Sonna toki wa boku no koe o kiite?
 
Kimi ni kono uta o kotoba ni naranai uta o okurou
Namida afurete mo kimi no naka ni ai o tsureteiku
 
Kore kara mo zutto onaji keshiki o mitsuzukete ikou
Kiesou na toki wa bukiyou dakedo ai o utau yo
 
Here you go! Enjoy!

Salve! Non scrivo da millenni su questo topic, però io sono sempre attivo
 
Benvenuto/a!!

Good morning!I am introducing again (I was very active some years ago but didn't write for a while honestly). because finally I have a chance to come back to Japan for a longer period than last time and to enjoy some visual kei lives, and I want to get updated with new bands.
 
I am a 22 years old girl from Milano, Italy, who is majoring in Japanese at university. My Japanese level for now is a lower intermediate, between a N4 and a N3. I am interested in visual kei and Japanese subculture since I was 12 years old thanks to anime.
 
My favourite visual kei, Jrock and J-metal bands are (well, half of them is disbanded lol, thank goodness there are other awesome bands still around :D) R-shitei, Merry, Kagerou, D'EspairsRay, Dir en grey, Mucc, girugamesh, The GazettE, Vidoll, Ayabie, Dio, Nega, Kiryu, DIAURA, SuG,  An Cafe, MEJIBRAY, lynch., Plastic Tree, Miyavi, Maximum The Hormone, ONE OK ROCK, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, BUMP OF CHICKEN, the back horn, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, coldrain, Crossfaith... Speaking about western music, I really like nu-metal, grunge and metalcore.
 
For now I have been able to see some visual kei and jrock concerts just in Italy because every time I went to Japan (sadly not that often XD just twice for now) all the lives I was interested were already sold out or I did not have enough time (like it was a last-minute trip because I found a very good plane offer and so on), so I really can't wait for the next time as I am planning to see at least 3-4 concerts of some of these bands I listed here XD
 
I am also really interested in anime and manga, videogames, art and design from Japan. I also enjoy and like to learn about Japanese traditional culture as well but that doesn't stop me to be interested in subcultures as well.
 
I would really like to know some new visual kei and jrock bands who recently formed and you think are good, so try to suggest me some new bands ^^
 
Best regards,
 
E.
