Man, Yoshito's ex-TRiPx twitcasts are saving me rn
 
He's showing some live recordings that are absolutely fucking perfect and I only wish he'd upload them to youtube
 
makes me wonder the ocean of material bands never get to release
 
I miss them so so much

If anyone wants to hear really cool Chinese Folk Metal, try out the band Snowsedim. The guitars are pretty basic, not gonna lie, but they use Chinese instruments that aren't seen as often. Like, this song features a Banhu, a type of folk Fiddle from Northern China, often the lead instrument in Hebei Opera. 
Honestly the fact its basic and catchy makes it even more authentic, because Chinese opera is traditionally based on simple, catchy melodies. The vocalist has a really powerful voice when singing as well. It's definitely a more rustic take on Chinese tradition, which is cool because I prefer the more rustic forms of traditional Chinese music anyway lol. 
 

I miss Machi so much. He was my feminine beauty ideal back in the school days.

Yesterday I realized I can say, sing and humb any word, lyric and sound fx of MM's Merveilles live, like I already did in my childhood with my 90s Disney cartoons VHSs hahaha. Same happens with Dir's 1999 Ousaka Jou live and An Cafe's Shikisai On. 
 
Do you feel the same about any other live recording?

In メルヘン遊園地 (MARCHEN Yuuenchi) by Missalina Rei, Arisu is basically is just straight up traditional Japanese vocal techniques in the chorus. Of course, wouldn't be the first time a Vkei vocalist has done some form of Traditional Japanese vocals. 

wondering what happened to that ban on politicsposting my kings and female kings 👀

Why do all these new Vkei bands dress like Kpop rejects? I guess asking your friend who knows how to sew or a mistu/Tsunagari doesn't work anymore. Go big and flop like Xodiack, at least that's an attempt at visual kei artistry. Remember it's us gajins fault for not buying their digital mini.

i know this is blacklisted and morally wrong to mention, but the new yohio mv showed up in my recommended feed when i was feeling weak and I...

eveerything after 2012 in this world was a mistake lol

does anyone else only listen to nightmare in the summer months?
 
this will be my 2nd year blasting them p much non-stop through june - september and I will completely drop them until next summer after that

I just uncovered a repressed memory from my high school days cruising the web, and remembered a gif of a lady dressed as a realistic spider doing... something... err, friendly to... somebody and I stupidly decided to watch the video that gif was from just now and... and... I need to lay down.

I am new to this website. Been listening to some old albums and watching live DVDs (mostly Gazette lol) and was looking for online discussions to talk about albums, songs and live performances. Also, I would like to chat about band/live culture in general. Not interested in talking about bandmen/their personal lives. 

I am originally from Europe, in my mid 20s currently living in Japan.　よろしくねー

i just wanna tell yall how much i fucking love you because yall are so tolerant (most of the time anyway) of me no matter how shitty my opinions are and are willing to have a civil discussion instead of just pushing me away
 
meanwhile anime fandoms are shit and so is cancel culture, literally fuck cancel culture in the ass btw

It's honestly annoying as hell how a ton of 90s/2000s vk has essentially all but vanished off the web after Megaupload and Rapidshare died 

throwback to when Imai & co covered YMO ~ ♪
 
 

Hey I hope you guys realize this, but you can make a thread on any albums you want to see get some love in the reviews section 😀.
 
If you wanna make a poll and leave it at that, go for it. Paragraphs hurt my eyes anyways lol.

i think it's really cute that several yrs ago ppl shamed this board for being mean, a lot of us toned down and now bored gurls are bullying the music corner person and another young lady on twitter policing her language,
 
thank u for finally showing ur true colors luvs!

Does anyone have cats that have weird music preferences? My bebby Faerie loves it when I play Javanese Gamelan music
(obligatory picture of the baby)

idk why Scarlet Valse is cancelling their upcoming shows. There should be more than enough room for the 4 people there to social distance :S 

I'm thinking of scanning my Cuartet pics in better quality, and re-ripping my Gill'e Cadith CD so the files aren't so fucking HUGE

PC has been blue screening endlessly 😔 Carrying it to the PC doctor 35 mins away on foot.  No proper back up of my shit. I played myself 😔

uploading all of the kizu live footage i have as i type this out, my upload speed is quite a bit fucked so this might take a good minute. brb in an hour or so

tried ripping these kizu dvds with different programs and maybe im just a dumbass but nothing work, alot of stuttering, white noise, clippings, fucked up audio, etc ill just leave this for tmrw or something 

Who knew that Gulu Gulu would provide us what some of us wish DEZERT would provide to us? Holy fuck the new mini is awesome. It's not Kuroyuri, it's not Memento Mori, it's its own thing, but in a good way. Hearing Ai's voice again just makes me feel so happy. If my highschool days were filled with me jamming Kuroyuri and DEZERT, my young adult days will be spent jamming to Gulu Gulu and JIGSAW

i have no words for gulu gulu's E.P WTFFFF SO EPIC

Remember when I lived in Japan and would upload stuff (like Kizu singles) one day before the actual release. Oh well... Good times...
