Yup, it's pretty good! I only found maybe 2 not-that-remarkable songs somewhere in the middle, but other than those it's a rockin' listen.

accurate

peep the Nihon No Wave v/a too! some of their stuff on there  (presumably stuff included in the archival as well) along w/ some other cool 80s obscurities

You're right, can't find them either... strange.

I'm not holding my breath... as much as it would be cool I don't think new music is likely at this point (and looking at their last album I'm not even sure I would want it, heh). We'll see, bit more than 12 hours to go!

Here's a fun vid to get you started~
 
 

I see. I guess that makes sense. It would be pretty hard to come close to Chemical Pictures for me anyway. They had a really unique vibe. Thanks for your input!

You didn't really miss much, to be honest. Chemical Pictures (along with KuRt) was his peak imo. Lack-co had a vibe similar to KuRt, in that each song had tons of ideas, which sometimes made them a bit disjointed but at least fun. I can't vouch for his other post-Chemical Pictures projects tho.

you say dezert i say slipknot
you say dimlim i say rammstein
you say kizu i say mushroomhead
 
click that fucking like buttonif youre one of the people who still listen to REAL 90s visual kei instead of all the fake modern crap

I didn't even have to look at the screencap and already guessed what this was about, lol.

I found a video of them playing "My Cat" by Jack Off Jill. Nice, haha.
 
 

Yeahhh, Droog are awesome! Or at least their first 3 mini albums are, never rly cared for the rest.
 
 

Thank youuu~

To tell you the truth, I'm not a big fan of Japanese movies/series in general... What I did watch, I watched a long time ago and can't remember unfortunately (probably torrented them off somewhere). There's a download blog for old cult movies tho, called RareLust, and it has tons of Japanese flicks too, so my best advice is to give that one a shot (haven't tried dl'ing anything from there myself).

Listening to some of these old singles is like night and day compared to the old shitty rips that were floating around before, god bless.

Doremidan were great, just reading their name really takes me back!  I've never been super into them, but I remember spinning their "Retsujou Lullaby" mini album A LOT back when I was just diving into this whole vk business.
 
Jinkaku Radio was a really cool group too, very nice moody/melancholic sound. Again, I wasn't a huge fan but one song of theirs that will always remain with me is "Nejimaki dori". ♥ (the live version is amazing too)
 
I really dug Chemical Pictures when they started out and they were truly in their prime back when Jimi was the bassist (you could tell his fine-tuning went a long way!). After he left I gradually lost interest in them... they were still okay but nowhere near as fun. Solid band overall tho, very creative!

yea,all the three bands are very different from each other lol,i meant that they are the only "out-of-vk-scene" thing that i had some contact with,onmyouza in special,i wanted to know if there's any other band like them in japan,approaching tradicional japanese themes and history,with that iron maiden style.never was a big fan of thrash metal,but i'm enjoying  Gargoyle,thank u (and i got the exotic elements lol)
