saiko got a reaction from Yukami in マチルダ(Mathilda) new single, "ネオトウキヨウ" (neo tokyo) release
I'm actually surprised at my liking of the whole advertising output: don't know why, but make up, hair and clothing seem to me kinda refreshing in the context of the actual trends in the matters of the last years. Those color water-light tubes work as an amazing background. The Akira-esque graphic seems cool, too.
Music-wise, the sample listens like something we heard a lot of times (like 99% of the VK stuff today), tbh. Btw, vocalist's voice seems actually very nice. Perhaps I'll be trying the whole thing when it cames out.

saiko reacted to BrenGun in An exclusive interview with Astaroth
Today we have an exclusive interview with new vkei band Astaroth.
Astaroth is an orthodox visual kei band who revealed themselves at what was advertised as a solo oneman by vocalist MISAKI, on January 16th of this year. The members have a strong connection to the Kansai (関西) scene, and they've drawn favor thanks to their promising first single.
The band talked to us about their inspirations and how their first steps toward activity have been so far.
Astaroth, thank you very much for agreeing to this interview.

saiko reacted to nekkichi in 蘭図 (Rands) new single, "茹でた隠元豆のある柔らかい構造" (Yude ta Ingenmame Noa ru Yawarakai Kouzou) release
good sis Karma will be hit by her own stage name over this desperately baiting for attention single x
I expect their disband/major member change next.

saiko got a reaction from nekkichi in アリス九號 (Alice Nine) new album "不夜城エデン" (Fuyajou Eden) release
Song is good; but everything in it screams "fake" so loud... How can I take seriously that approach on djenty breakdowns and screaming if they were doing a full k-pop routine on stage like... what, two years ago? Don't know, this band is so messed up, which is really sad considering all of them are talented musicians...

saiko got a reaction from cultfurby in What are some funny or terrible rumours about musicians or bands?
I pray for someday heteronormativity just erases off from the vk scene. It's just so weird that every musician within it pretend to be full cis-straight in a scene where the basic dress-code is actually cross-dressing. I guess heteronormativity could never look so stupid itself.

saiko got a reaction from SHOKI in David new crowdfunding campaign - help Sui get to France!
Are there actually loaded people that crave for uninspired cosplay musicians? I'm curious about what kind of job they'll have.
Japanese culture of "supporting an artist" is fascinating.

Man if there is one member that never stopped evolving in this band is Kai, he is probably my favorite drummer currently active in scene right now

saiko got a reaction from RazorGenesis in lynch. New Album "ULTIMA" & 15th Anniversary Project [XV]
Hazuki's looks like the visual kei god he is with those all-black hot pants and trench coat. It suits his singing and overall performance so good I can't avoid thinking about it.

For some reason, there is always something exciting about listening to lynch. At least to their promo songs... for me, it is something as simple as that combination of Hazuki's faux-baritone voice (with the backing vocals somewhat 'incrustated') doing his trademark anthem-like melodies over that speedy hardcore groove with the drummer hitting the crash on the last quaver of the measure... It's just so 'visual-kei' I can't resist the pleasure.
This is fucking why in the last 10 years every act in the scene, even the 'leaders', are doing anything but selling formulaic fan-fulfilling garbage and don't seem to plan to someday stop and put their minds into something with a little plus of 'artistic' value...

Wow, this look Hazuki and the drummer went full-on vk! I praise. Hope the new songs are interesting as well (and not more boring post-hardcore cliché moves).
P.d.: Screaming @ that killer portion of nude upper leg lefting from Hazuki's hot-pants.

saiko reacted to hopefully_benign in Which visual kei trope would you ban?
That unidentifiable vocal type that somehow sounds deep and high pitched at the same time.
I don't know how else to describe it other than to say probably over half of all vk vocalists since the mid 90s try their hardest to affect it. It had its place but it's time to move on.
