^I took this the last day that actually felt like summer. Good times.

You are welcome! : D

 

Although I'd be careful in interpreting any political statement into this.

'Abortion' has been a classic theme with the darker vk bands ever since 黒夢s 中絶 and 生きていた中絶児 in the early 90s. Dir en greys try on that motif is pretty well-known, too, I think.

It's also important to notice that japans view on abortion is very different from many western countries with christian roots and this kind of song isn't as controversial there.

Offtopic aber Nisimaldar hat ein sehr schönes Foto in der Signatur : x

Thanks a ton to @Keiyuu for providing the lyrics and asking me to do more CROW-SIS because It's fun <3
 

*Actually it says 'I know your existence', but 存在-'existence' is captioned and sung as いみ-'meaning'.
'Why you're like this' propably isn't the most elegant translation in the world but I tried to express both readings without making it too long.

**In fact the written lyrics say 'painful thoughts, sorrowful memories' but he sings 'sorrowful thoughts, painful memories' so yeah, pick the version you prefer.

Thank you very much for the compliment! : D

Since I already reached the album you propably won't have to wait that long anymore, I'm doing my best~ orz

Yeah, you are right, now that you say it it's pretty clear. For some reason I kept fantasizing a  'ga' there and nothing made sense.

Will correct in a minute, thank you very much.  orz

This doesn't have lyrics printed in the booklet, so I translated it by ear. Bear in mind there can be mistakes~
Thanks to @Uglymouth for helping out!
 
 
makyou - 魔境 actually means "haunts of wicked men" but the second kanji was replaced with 鏡 - "mirror" here (as well as in the title of the album and this 'act'), making it a 'devils mirror'.  As we know by now hisui loves things reflected in mirrors

The thought that someone would play music on Nude of J level, then record something as lame as 奴隷華 with his next band is unrealistic enough in itself.

Who is supposed to believe that?

What I noticed about all those pre-95 releases that seem fishy: there doesn't seem to be any mention of them before 2007 when Kisakis history book was released.

Same for almost all of Kisakis old releases. The only one I found in an old 'Kisaki discography' printed in a 1999 mag is 奴隷華 by SHEY≠DE. A live limited release, which is kinda strange, wouldn't they rather show an official release? Like the '瑠璃の雫' one (The one that seems to be copied from INSANITY) that is now shown on Kisakis page?

 

btw I gathered the ones that haven't been busted here yet:

If anyone has any info such as covers and tracklist, please contribute! It'd also be really interesting if anyone had old flyers or magazines or anything else that proves the existence of these.

(And just in case anyone has a rip- they are welcome, too ; D) Same goes for people who find something similar from another band...

oh and there is something else:

Some time ago I won an auction for a bootleg dvd of an 1998 matina event that as far as I know hasn't ever been sold anywhere. I just noticed that it was the same seller as the Keloid tape that @Naaaaani bought.

The same seller appearently sold quite a few Kisaki/Matina/UCP related stuff and he kinda reminds me of myth_ceo ; D

I've been reading a lot recently, because I have freetime.

1493 by Charles C. Mann. This is actually nonfiction but reads much like a novel. A book discussing all kinds of global effects Columbus landing in America had and lots of connections are actually really surprising. so. Entertaining and fascinating to read but rather heavy. (the book, not the content although that takes some dedication, too, at points) so I took quite a few breaks in which I read the following:

In the Miso soup by Ryu Murakami, which I had started reading but quitted some time ago because I thought it was a bit stupid and cliché. I still thought that at points, but enjoyed the sick unsettling atmosphere. It's a psychopath serial killer type of story and it doesn't get as thrilling as it could because the book is so short.

Franz Kafkas Tagebücher 1910-1923 (diaries). Well. actually that's nonfiction, too. I really enjoyed those although a lot of stuff is just plain weird.

First Love, Last Rites by Ian McEwan. A collection of short stories. I read quite a few works of him some years ago and when I stumbled over the name again I thought I should try some of his early stuff (since I liked the Cement Garden) Still like the language. Actually I remember him to write much more gross than this. So maybe I grew up a little since the last time.

So now I started The End of Alice by A.M.Homes (and I'm already half through) and.. while McEwan isn't actually gross this book is. I'm not very sensitive but it made me say eww at some points. sorry.

But on the other hand it's really hard to put down, so I'm not sure, maybe it's a kind of love-hate relationship between me and that book.

 

Not sure what I'll start next but I went to the library only recently (don't have an ebook reader .//.) and got lots of stuff. Maybe I'll finally dare to try Tolstoi. Why is it that russian classics are always so damn long?

*written 'monogatari' - 'story', sung 'higeki'-'tragedy'

 

 

This song originally released on the second NEW AGE CULTURE sampler was their comeback after the forced hiatus in 98 when Hizumi died.

It seems like Hisui tried to use every motif from his previous works here to express as much Madeth as possible.

Ich gehe~ 8D

 

und go away dispo.

The preview reminds me of 危険な私, cool to see they're doing something like that again.

Old news, but kons head is enormous.

I have many fond memories of both bands, but both disappointed me a lot, too.

Phantasmagoria, before their original disbandment, when they released proper songs, not just leftovers, rererererecordings and ballads intended to make nostalgic fans cry and throw money at them, were great. And there are many songs I still love listening to.

They were very vk, didn't leave out any fun cliché to make lives more enjoyable, copying from pretty much everywhere but kinda turning it into their own thing. Juns songwriting was still great. They could play all their songs in one show but each song was memorable. Not really original, but memorable and fun. Their lyrics were cheesy romantic messes, but it didn't matter because they didn't take themselves too serious either.

 

As for ヴィドール...well they sold themselves, too. Most songs on their major releases, actually even the later UCP stuff were a waste of talent, but I still think everything they did for the first few years is flawless.

There wasn't (and isn't) a band that could compare to them either, they really had their own sound that captured me from the very first time I listened to them and still captures me today.

In comparison to Magomago they released a TON but since each release had it's own theme and they didn't focus on only live tracks but also experimented a lot that didn't matter at all. I loved listening to their CDs as I loved seeing them live and there propably won't be an active band I love as much again.

As opposed to Phantasmagoria I have to be in the right mood to listen to their songs because they aren't something I could just play in the background, so maybe I actually listen to them less often.

 

Still. I think that they are (or were, as I'm only referring to their UCP years) simply the better band. More versatile, much, much more original, more 'serious' and less of a fun easy-listening kind of band, better lyrics, a band with an actual concept and themed releases. On top of that my favorite band for many years. So. My vote goes to ヴィドール~

Looks like Dejavu and Miss are also VICE RISK songs.

This makes LAYBIAL's MISS tape a complete rip-off from track 1 to 6.

 

@Naaaaani

Can't wait for your tape!

 

Copying songtitles off some random tape you come across sounds like something any mid 90s vk guy could have done, but being as forward as to take two different tapes by the same band to do it is... special.

Also. It's not even that you read those titles and think OMG THIS IS SO DIFFERENT I NEED THOSE TITLES IN MY LIFE MUST COPY.

So why?

 

VICE∞RISK sound pretty good though.

So there was a MH meet in Helsinki a couple of months ago. Our humongous meet-up consisted of me, Biopanda, Slsr and WhirlingBlack (who's behind the camera because he's oooooh-so-mysterious).

 

~Biopanda, paradoxal, Slsr~

 

 

 

And then one super high quality pic of me & Panda and a hint of WB's hair, part of WB's hand and the zipper of WB's shirt (so secret, much mystery, wow) 

 

 

lol two bonus pics of me fixing my hair moshing

 

Panda, please explain your shoes to me. .o.

While I agree with the general consent here in that 'showing off' and exaggerating things is an important element of visual kei I've had that feeling a couple times.

A solo that feels out of place and does more for the bandmember playing it than for the song as a whole.

Or pvs that feel a bit awkward because they are more like showcases for how fast everyone can play while making cute faces.

Oh no. T_T
