Okay, guys, I did not want to make a separate topic for this because technically it's been going on for... ever since Kameleo broke up, and I did find this when going to L.A.LEMECCA's youtube channel, but:
 
Daisuke (ya know, the guitarist of Kameleo) also has a solo project going on. 
 
Not only that, but he seems to be doing Let's Play videos as well. In Japanese tho. 
 
So far he's played a couple of RPG maker games, PUBG, Minecraft and SPORE.
 
Anyways, here's the channel:

I'm torn... I miss Kameleo/Hikaru for sure... but I'm not sure I've ever actually liked a VK solo project.
 
(I'll be in Tokyo during that show... kinda tempted)

In japanese audience, I would rank this way:
DIR EN GREY
MUCC
the GazettE
 
For overseas, most seem to get more crazy with the GazettE even than DIR recently, so it may rank like this: But is kind relative.
the GazettE
DIR EN GREY
MUCC

Kinda disappointed the MV doesn't have the members but damn this sounds amazing. 

@platy
KIDS WAR was kind fucked on this studio version, in basically every live footage I got to hear, it sounds different from this one from the mini. It was Yusuke playing a more loudly drums on that heavy bass part from TOMO (you mind know which part I mean). I got myself kind, "what is that?" totally pissed about this situation, but believe me, the song could be really better changing that.
 
Won't lie, the mini itself took a bit to grow on me. At a first listen, a got totally hands down for Phantom pain, such a remind from their greatest dadaism 1 and 2. イノセント ホリック and ある日、世界は美しいと思った got to grow with the time. Personally, ある日、世界は美しいと思った 's main reason was the lyrics.
白いゼラニウム and KINKY are just to get skipped on my player lol

After going on hiatus at 2017/11/22, Sick. has changed their name to Screaming inside can kill. (still pronounced "Sick").
 
3 new members have joined the band, whose identities will be revealed later.
 
Vo.詩季 (Shiki) and Gu.風輝 (Fuki) have changed their stage names to their real names, Nakanashi Tatsuki and Konishi Fuki, respectively.
 
Their new mini-album will be released (6 tracks), although further details are unavailable.
 

Loved the song and thought it went together wonderfully. I did here the song live too but it sounds better here since I actually get to focus on the sound of it since I was all over the place at the live. All that being said its a wonderful song and I can't wait for them to return with more later on

Nice thread
I got interested into Maki vocals on DIRTY EVIL, and with that I started to follow those powerful boys. Even today, "Separator" and "ALSDEAD" are on my all time favorites full albums rate, they are still my top 6 band.
 
My favorites songs are (in order): D9N, Twilight, Life of Sorrow, F-99, 虹色の雨, 最後の嘘, 404, Behind the Pride, Cynical, Nostalgia, VOR2012 and Sugar.
 
I wasn't able to saw their last live, but every ALSDEAD fan that were in the venue I talked with told that was a glorious live performance.

HAKUMEI is now available on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play (JP only tho, I will check tomorrow if they are made available elsewhere)
 
Edit: Of course its not available elsewhere. Silly me!!!!

Hello! I noticed there were no Artist post about Alsdead or Alls, so I decided to merge them into one!

I've been following ALSDEAD since their start in 2008 (and even when they were Dice & Joker), releasing their first single in 2009 titled Violent of Reason.

Over the years, they changed their music sound, but the core remained the same.
 
At the start, they were 4 members : Maki on vocals, Shin on Guitars, Reito on Bass and Setua on Drums. 

In 2011 Reito left the band and Yosuke joined.

In 2013 Setua left the band and Nikky joined the band. 

I was quite sad to see both Reito and Setua leave, as I was following the band since their start, and I was used to see them in the band.

I got used to Yosuke and Nikky.

Over the years as Alsdead, they released 11 singles, 3 Full albums and 1 mini-album as well as some retake of their old songs as Dice & Joker off compilations cds. They also released 2 live dvd, only exclusive to Japan, but last year I was lucky enough to get my hands on their last dvd, and it's amazing! If any one you saw it, you will know what I mean  Also, if anyone wants me to share, I can, I just don't know how to extract it.

They went in hiatus after that last release (2015) and came back in 2017 as Alls, dropping the visuals and the electro only for rock. Maki's english improved and they released their first EP in november of last year titled DO OR DIE.

So yeah, if you want me to put more stuff into the introduction just tell me, I will add it.

I create this thread, so people can share their love for Alsdead now Alls, exchange on their releases, on their shows or just the members!

Enjoy!

Alright, what's your favorite track(s)? Do you still like them as Alls? Who's your favorite member?

As for me, it was a shock at first to hear them as Alls, but I got used to it. I love their new sound and Maki's english!

My favorite songs from Alsdead will always be : Kill the King, Life of Sorrow, F-99, Swallotail (it's amazing on their live dvd), Trickster, Inazuma, 404, Flash Back and well many more, as I love all their songs.

As for Alls, Limelight ofc, and Hunter. The ep is quite good too.

I hope we can have fun discussing on Alsdead and Alls!
