Where is Kisaki to Kansai Kizoku?

I love them.

Well. Even including them I'd still chose Syndrome because they combine everything I like about Kisakis different projects without going too much into one direction.

They are Romantic like Mirage, but with more edge.

They're dramatic like Phantasmagoria but while Magomago dramatized so hard they eventually became a satire of themselves (not meant in a negative way!) Syndrome still feels like a rockband, not the opera.

They have a lot of the indies appeal of La:Sadie's and Kisakis other 'old' bands but in a 'pro' way without the demotape-quality.

They use LOTS of voice effects and synthesizers but they do it well. Unlike Lin.

They have the most touching ballads. Kisaki appearently loves ballads but most of the time the emotions don't seem real, the compositions are too generic and they don't touch me at all. Kisaki Project falls into that category.

Thanks as always Hyura for your awesome translations X3

Hm... I think there aren't any translations for Knife or eccentric Marxist, right?

You are welcome. <3

I don't think I've seen those, either. Weird, since that's pretty much their two most popular songs... I think?

Challenge accepted!

I hope not to fuck up 'knife' too much, though. D: Such a beautiful song and such romantic lyrics.

This is great~ Your translations are good~ I'm envious haha. I've been studying Japanese for years and I feel like I can understand quite a bit, but I suck at translating it into English. So difficult~

 

Anyway... Thanks for sharing <3

You think so? Thank you very much! orz I do my best.

And I know that feel, bro. Lots of times the meaning is totally clear, but putting it into another language is impossible without either making it sound weird or ruining the original context.

Also translation just isn't part of most japanese-classes, isn't it? At least of mine.

I generally think that as long as people don't smell or anything everybody should do to their body what they want and be as hairy/bald/fat/skinny/tattooed/etc as they like.

Still, I could never kiss a man with a full face of beard.

I wonder what would you look like with a beard, lol.

+1

i love you so much but i will love you even more if you'll do "fantasy" : 3

I'd love to, really. D :

However, fantasy is censored in the booklets except for the 'I could never... die' -part and the singing is too hard to understand to translate by ear.

I don't really want to know, but I guess it's around 100-200 Euro a month. orz

Wow, I'm quite curious about the quality of those.

The last paragraph is actually the first in the written lyrics. I changed it because it's already part of 'Curse' in the sung version.

Hello!

I recently translated La'Mules Curse EP and because I like the lyrics a lot I'll share them with you.

Listening to the songs while reading is highly recommended. I left the kanji, romaji and english versions on top of each other to make that easier.

I do my best to make the translation sound as natural as possible but neither English nor Japanese is my first language. Please help improve any mistakes! orz

You can also request any other La'Mule song/release you like in this thread.

(lyrics will be posted as replies. Please wait~)

Maybe this is just the right song for the first days of autumn, but I found the song quite touching. I really like it.

This is the first 12012 song in years to achieve that.

I really couldn't believe this and still don't know what to say.

Ayame.

Why?

Cool! Btw your boyfriends totally looks like Kon ^^ You make an awesome cosplay 

Thank you very much!

I was very impressed of their similarity, too.

holy cow! how did i missed all these pictures? T__T love every single cosplay, you are just fantastic! marry me pls

Thank you! ;O;

I'm very happy you like them.

I'm already engaged D:

Their look and sound is really nice, but isn't that a Matina-era Gazette track they're copying here...?

^ Awesome pic! *__*

omg, you are so awesome! please be so kind and post more pictures of yourself here >///< 

This is too perfect.

OMFG

Please tell me your secrets, I want to be as awesome and have that kote kei look skillz as you

Woah, thank you for so many compliments! //∇//)

You guys made me super happy, I suddenly feel like a legit cosplayer now. orz

I'd actually post more often but there aren't many chances to dress up and my everyday look is kinda boring. There is a cosplay-thread somewhere on here where I posted some of my photos, though.

And there aren't too many secrets to that look but if you want to know how we did anything, just ask.

Just found this picture from my old phone. : D

It's me cosplaying as Hisui (Madeth Gray'll) and my boyfriend cosplaying as Kon (La'Mule).

(We look super serious but actually we were cracking up all day.)

Ich hab die Erfahrung gemacht, dass EMS Pakete überdurchschnittlich oft geprüft werden. So jedes zweite Mal denke ich. (Aber erst in letzter Zeit. ;O;)

Bei richtig hohen Summen würde ich immer über fromjapan bestellen, den Wert bei 'charge 2' runtersetzen und fedex wählen.

Weil fedex die Pakete selbst verzollt sind die total nachlässig und prüfen auch dann nicht nach wenn auf einer Riesenkiste voll mit Neuware 20 euro wert draufsteht. (Nach meiner Erfahrung jedenfalls!)

Außerdem ist fedex ab einer gewissen gewichtsgrenze ziemlich günstig und dauert nach Deutschland nur 3 Tage.

Although I love grieva and I'm all pro alter ego bands:

Are they serious?

I mean. They already have a hard time writing original music for one concept, how do they want to handle two? Maybe finding their own style first before 'trying something new' would have been the better choice.

Hopefully I'm wrong and the single is great, though. Their new look is lovely.

Oshare kei is really not a genre I know tons about but calling it オサレ or オサ is totally legit, even if you like it. In fact it's much more commonly referred to as オサレ than お洒落. (although yes, it does mean something like 'poseur' appearently.)

And yes, I haven't seen a true oshare kei band in years. To me it always meant something along the lines of

-wears streetfashion, including bandanas

-plays poppy punk tunes

-looks happy but never insanely happy

-is pretty asexual

And yes. That kind of band doesn't exist anymore. Or at least, not really.

Funny how panic*ch don't want to belong in there because to me they always fitted in perfectly.

Does anybody know the バンギャルちゃんの日常 manga? I think it had a great style-guide but I couldn't find a scan of it.

(For anyone interested anyway, look at the episode on 'the VK-ish pv'.)

I agree with Yuugi!

Not that I'd never appreciate vocalists that are great singers with skills in a more 'classic' sense. (I love Ryuichi Kawamura. I like Gackt and Klaha in Malice Mizer. I love Jui in Vidoll.)

But for the most part I go for bands in the good vocalist/bad singer scheme because it just sounds less formal and more interesting to miss a few notes here and there.

Punk-ish 'barking' like Kiyoharu and Hakuei or melodramatic sluring like Kyo (until a few years ago) and Hisui is often much more suited for a visual kei band. Of course it depends on the band's image and of course a high percentage of vocalists isn't brilliantly bad but just normal bad and I don't like that either. (Sounding bored or too shy or copying someone elses style in an embarassing way.)

Well my favorite example for this is Syndrome. Their sound didn't change that much with Asagi joining and they still made brilliant songs but Asagis skilled voice completely ruins their atmosphere and they sound totally boring to me compared to the original line up with Tatsuyas 'weak' vocals.

Wow, this is terrible.

I truly hope for the surgery to be successful and that he won't have to suffer much pain now.

You're a champ. Even though I've been in dangerous situations a couple of times and all of them abroad, I dread the off-chance that the bloodthirsty locals smell the Visual-Kei, alcohol and free money in me. In Finland I don't mind this because I at least know the language and getting about is a lot more care-free for a guy anyway.

 

I like being in Kreuzberg, Friedrichschain and Neukölln the most, but I also like having my hotels fancy and in the proximity of Friedrichstrasse so I've almost always ended up spending my nights in Pberg/MItte and while the area is cute, it also not too exciting and the hipsters generally keep to themselves unless I'm looking especially dazzling that night. However when in the south or east my mind quicky goes into a "lolnope" if I even considering using the kottbusser tor u-bahn alone after hours. This time I'm definitely going to spend a night around those parts and either walk or get a cab from somewhere

You should!

For a guy there doesn't seem to be anything to worry here. (And even as a girl. While I do get catcalled and bothered a lot and hate it nothing harmful ever happened to me or anybody I know despite being out alone at night a lot.) I think some outer areas might be prone to Nazi-people but the inside feels a thousand times safer than any other large city I went to so far.

So I hope you'll enjoy your stay. And in case of free money- I'll take it.
