Like the voice, but music doesn't sound like anything special. ;_;

Quite awful news, honestly. I can only hope for the best, because I really don't want Baddies to lose him.

I would say disbandment, but that actually doesn't seem too likely in this case. Probably just a countdown for a new album or something ;_;

hahahah, what. This is the best post I've seen in a while.

I haven't liked much of any of their latest releases, but THE SWAN was quite nice. Hopefully it's just a hiatus, as I would like to see what other kind of directions they will go in when the time comes around.

Sounds super nice. I've only listened to a few tracks, but I'm absolutely in love with them already, so really excited!

Sounds neat. I wonder who's in the lineup ;_;

perfect ;____;

Guess I might as well add mine in here, since I don't think I've did it before: http://www.last.fm/user/digikun Feel free to add me, if you want, haha ;_;

It's really hard to pick JUST ten, but I suppose I'll try. Here goes nothing: Cali Gari - What's not to love about them, really. Older Cali Gari was especially my favorite. Funky, yet catchy all at the same time. guniw tools - I don't even think they count as visual kei, but still. I adore all of FULL's projects ;_; deadman - Mako's voice is incredibly soothing, and so is the instrumentals as well. Really gloomy, just like Jigsaw said, but still great. SEX-ANDROID - May or may not be classified as vk, but whatever they are, they are simply amazing. BUCK-TICK - Ah, Buck Tick. I don't think I need to explain this one, haha. Sandwich de 120 pun? - Eiji projects never fail to amaze me, seriously. Really creepy lyrics, but the music itself is very misleading. I guess beep boops have that certain power ;< guruguru eigakan - Love them to bits and pieces. Quirky as hell, but so great. yazzmad - I wasn't all too fond of them at first, but they've really grown on me since then. Absolutely adore them now Plastic Tree - Really nice, melancholic/shoegaze-y music, that usually puts me into a good mood. Ryutaro has an outstanding voice that lulls me to sleep very easily (in a good way of course). Needless to say, Tadashi's a very talented bassist. HOLLOWGRAM - Yeah, they're pretty new, but the recent release they put out has got me hooked. Flawless. But yeah, this is just my list. I'd definitely recommend trying out all of these bands if you haven't already~ All of them are really great, and in no particular order.

oh my god nobita stop

I wouldn't have expected any less, haha. They seem incredibly friendly. I'd love to go see them live one day ;_; (they better play banana when I go!!)

Hello, and welcome here~ Hana Shounen Baddies is the best ever. I love them tons.

Hello, and welcome here~

Welcome here! Enjoy your time here on the forum~

This is awful, and rather confusing, to say the very least. Forming a new band just to leave, shortly after arrival....

Welcome here~ Buck-Tick is so good, haha ;_;

Nandakanda was seriously my jam when it first came out. I want more tellytubby souiumono pls

Rather surprised I didn't respond to this topic before. Old vk to me, would be anything from '90 to '05, which is certainly a broad range. In that case, I'd most definitely prefer old vk to new any day. New visual kei doesn't do anything for me, to be quite honest. But of course there are some exceptions. There's something about those old matina/soleil bands losing their shit in a song, and dressing in the gaudiest of artificial leathers, that simply do not compare to the sparkly, glittered-up, boyband-esque bands of today. Needless to say, the music was just as awful then as it is now, but old vk had this certain charm about it that makes it a whole lot more enjoyable as a whole, for me. But then again, maybe I'm just biased towards flour-faced men in PVC attire, recording shitty (yet lovely) music to satisfy my ears. With all that goff matina stuff aside, I also find that the older angura or nagoya bands such as cali gari, mucc, kalimero, or deadman, also stood out to me more than any new vk band ever has. Once again, I find that these two particular subgenres have quite the charm to them. Certainly gives you a sense of nostalgia and immense emotion to listen to artists like these, which is something I like. The musicianship from the older era of things seemed to be of a more excellent quality, in general. In most cases, you can surely sense when there's a lot of feeling and thought put into a song, and I cannot sense that with most things I've heard from the newer spectrum of vk. Not to say the musicianship is horrid here, but it doesn't quite feel the same. This is just my two cents though, and should probably be taken with a grain of salt. I'd to conclude that I'm also very surprised at how many others here prefer the older era.

I sing along to just about everything. (and horribly so) Especially g-schmitt and Yapoo's because I'd like to think that I'm just as rad as Syoko and Jun Togawa, when in reality I'm the complete opposite ;<

How the hell did I not know about this earlier? x_x Really good news, this is. I've been wanting to hear about a schwarz stein revival for quite a while now.

Welcome here~

Welcome here~ COB is so good ;_;

Jin was horrible, but I have a thing for shitty vocalists. fairly excited for this

oh my god too good
