If it wasn't for "Jisatsu ganbou", "Meikyou shishui", "Re:plica", "Rodeo", "-0°C", Due'le Quartz would be actually a prety shitty band. Miyavi was already a fierce player and genuine showman back then, but aside from the songs I mentioned, his compositions were very weak plagios of MISSA-era DEG songs like "Zan", "S" or classic "Byoushin". Seriously, it's very hard to listen to their discography entirely, and Sakito's voice makes it only more painful (I'm sure his voice will be remebered as one of the worst to have ever reached the scene).
Bassist and drummer were skilled, too, but their arrangments didn't add anything interesting (Re.plica and Rodeo are the coolest ones, in this sense).
I don't understand how they became so succesful back in the day, considering 2000-2001 was the era in which VK started to dramatically lose all the little, but overall significant, attention it got from the mainstream audicence.-

It's very interesting how this awkward standards became nowadays a legitimate "aesthetic" that is seeked by many people to listen or watch to, with all this "homage-kei" stuff that emerged as a trend in the last few years...
A few years ago I could enjoy it, but today, after realizing how lazy and bagyaish the scene became in general, I find it untolerable. That said, for satisfying my hunger for indie kotekote stuff I have done my own selection of songs that I find actually really well-worked (pre-Gauze Dir, pre-FINALE Pierrot, some Baiser, the Due song I mentioned above, and many others).
