  1. I don't mind the engrish at all. I don't think I can imagine putting in the Japanese equivalent of the word they're using, replacing the lyric at all. Like if Panic Channel Re-Recorded Pink Cherry or SPARKING into entirely Japanese. Like I replay different variants of what they could be saying in Japanese, in my head, trying to fit it into the melody of the song and it doesn't work out at all. Though it does get weird when they combine the words into one non-existent weird.


  2. DragonWAPPPPPPER: I really liked the name and found out nono and P(both at the time ex.HeaRt(which is basically v(neu) before the name change) where in the band. So when I had the chance to buy their first single, I immediately bought it and it was love at first listen.

     

    Panic Channel: My friend showed me them back in High School. I immediately fell in love. Also they're the very first band I ever bought a CD of! 新人戦 ~夢に向かって 編~, I kinda blame them for making me an addict in buying shit from my favorite bands.

     

    FULL EFFECT': I had a couple of their songs and thought nothing of it. Then I heard the acoustic version of happy life and I was dying to hear more, then I heard more and was immediately a stan.


  3. A band I remember since they started. I liked everything until poplar. Then a few major singles were good. After Sun'z up, never really cared. Sad to see them go though. And I'm really getting tired of these hurr durr, they're not good glad they're disbanding bs etc Taste is subjective, and not everyone likes the same music.


  4. Anything by:

    モダン組曲

    the Vambie

    AI-版

    Secret Circus

    Rosario

     

    Would fall into that category, since they base their sound around that.

     

    Songs that I can think of off the top of my head is:

     

    姫苺 - Sherry?

    J∀CK11 - 拝啓カジノ支配人たま

    xTRiPx - BREACH.

     

    One trend I can think of is the mid to late 00's heavy bands being mostly numetal and of course the koteosa bands.


  5.  

    Anygays, supposing all bands were good and had decent music/looks/PVs, are you against the fact that they don't sing in japanese ? In my opinion they should all sing in english, because it helps with the globalization stuff and they don't sound much like weebs. What do you think ?

     

     

    If they had good music, I would be on board. I wouldn't care if they sung in any language. But what most of them were playing were not appealing to my ears at all. I listen to every genre of music, so I don't discriminate against any type of sound. Just things that aren't appealing to my ears.


  6. I had a few chuckles and wtfs at some of the "visuals" some bands had. Overall I think MaleRose got the whole look and sound right, but no one would curr because they're Thai, then second would be MEA. The rest was like were they even attempting at costumes or just throwing shit together and putting on make up and are like we're a vk band now! VK bands invest a shit ton in their costumes if they don't know how to sew or don't know anyone willing to do it for free! And did Ninjaman Japan lose a bet to be on this DVD?


  7. "Koteosa kei"? Did some mini-Oshare fangirl circle invent this or does it really have a legit, "professional" background? (e.g. being discussed in mags, by critics and alike etc.)

     

    Koteosa is an accepted style which is basically already dead. The last one I know of that was really popular was Paradeis. Just think of kote kei costumes and throw in color.
