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.

If you are only now seeing the silliness... maybe you were in it for the wrong reasons...
 
*suspension of disbelief*

I had an interview today.
I was offered the job on the spot and the interviewer said he'd be disappointed if I didn't pursue management within the company.
And then, to top it all off, after the 2 week training period I'll be making a dollar an hour MORE than I was originally asking for.

Shit Yoshiatsu....
 
Okay so IMO, MONEY is the best song previewed. Oboreru Sakana was awesome to me but of course the breakdowns sound like something I (and everyone else) has heard before. Not that it spoils the song, but MONEY comes across so much stronger for me. The main riff reminds me of the GazettE's style (?) but the chorus is so perfect Yoshiatsu's vibrato keeps getting stronger.
 
Belka to Strelka was a bit underwhelming, just because again, I feel like I have heard these guitars before and it seems more disorganized. I still end up having the chorus in my head, def. still a fan. just not blown away.
 
My foremost hope I suppose is that these members can break their mold a bit on the instrumental (mold = NAINE core sound) to create something unique with Yoshiatsu, who I believe to be quite versatile. It's essentially the same hope I have with MBHI (which IMO is harder to make fit but seems to be doing great anyway)

BRB crying. Take all my money ten ten.

I like where this is kinda headed to and not really. All that ass kissing and one girl trying to prove a point that kiwamu is a dick. Someone should link Dada to the kiwamu thread here for the lulz.

Totes agree with proper core thing. A lot of VK bands tend to do half ass on metal and the likes and just runs it into the ground with bad boring generic riffing and overuse of power chords to the max with shitty time sigs. I kinda didn't like yoshiatsu's clean vocals in this song. Sorry bout it!

Didn't use enough of that CRaZY*ShaMPoO to wash off the dad aroma 

My Favorite shop is Puresound. They always seem to have rares that I want from time to time. Like Vier la drain's Aurolla or びじゅ☆'s 大嫌い( Didn't get a chance at these since I don't really listen to VK anymore and don't stalk this site like I use to and now I'm super sad, but I will throw money at you like crazy if you can help me with these T.T), but they sometimes seen to have it out of stock when I email them and it's listed on their site still >.>
 
Second would come Adumaya. Their stuff is legit cheap with rares and the person handling everything is extremely pleasurable to interact with. I even found rares, like legit 100 copies or less stuff that I thought I would never see and got them. Except for that Panic Channel 2Days Oneman VHS(I hate you whoever got that TT.TT, I will throw money at you) And not to mention that even with EMS it's extremely freaking cheap for shipping!
 
Then for all my other wank I use fromjapan.

After well over a year's worth of work, I'd like to present to you all: RarezHut! This is one of the first international store for used visual kei music. Myself, along with my two associates, have been working hard to deliver a store to meet the needs of the international visual kei community, offering a wide selection of products at a reasonable cost. At the moment, RarezHut has over 600 items for sale, each of which includes a listenable/watchable sample! We've got a total inventory of well over 2000 items and will be working hard over the coming months to deliver updates(at least once a month) with as many items as we can stuff in there. Currently available are a multitude of CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes and VHS spanning over 200 bands.
 
Features of the store include:
"Fuzzy search" system: when you search for a band, it'll pull up any other items available by bands with members from the band you searched for in addition. Listenable/watchable samples for every item to give you a little idea of what to look forward to. Newsletter: If you create an account, you can opt-in for our newsletter which details all of the recent additions and will be sent out the moment they're added to the site, allowing you to get first dibs on any new goodies! Remember: once they're gone, they're gone for good~ Digital copies: along with any cassette/VHS purchases, we offer high-quality digital copies free-of-charge. We realize that not everyone has the means to play these aging formats, but we aim not to let that get in the way of you being able to enjoy them! In an effort to make sure that buying goes smoothly, all items added will have the digital copies ready before addition so that packages can be shipped out on the next business day.  
Thanks for taking the time to look at this and we sincerely hope you enjoy the store(and whatever goodies you buy from it )! Given the small nature of the visual kei community, we rely on word-of-mouth for most of our advertising, so any friends you can tell about the store will help us immensely <3
 
If you've got any questions/comments/feedback, feel free to post them here or send me a PM and I'll try to reply ASAP~

He'll be writing the product spotlights on both our facebook and tumblr pages, so definitely go check them out because they're really awesome

Aww bummer
 
I hope Neil Peart gets a new band or goes solo, he's too much of a great drummer to stop

Ap?il - Got bad after Pledge
VanessA - Went bad after World is my mind
ゴールデンボン??ー - Release too much shit of the same shit repackaged
愛狂??????。 - Same formula
シンディケイト - Got boring
??ゃる?????? - Never release anything
xTRiPx - Dont know what the hell they are doing
idiot - cause they got so much attention for being awesome

"People won't go to our shows if you share our live distributed stuff!!!"
 
No, actually, people just dont' go to your shows.
 

Obvs more powerful singers are picked for being winners for X-Factor. No brainer there.
 
And If they sung like shit and couldn't hit decent note, why would he put them in a band? Teenage girls are retarded, but they're not that retarded to listen to them if they sound like they're going through puberty.
 
You pretty much summed up 90% of any boy band with solo activities.
 
AND girls really liked Tokio Hotel?????? That is definitely a European thing then. And I don't get how 1D is bigger than JB(when JB is actually still more popular)

This seems interesting so I'll add my two cents.
 
I really find ふぁっきんＡ by Idiot really listenable and I enjoy it.

I love really bad vocals. You guys may think I'm trolling, but this is the truth. The worst the vocalist is, the more I seem to like it. I think I'm M when it comes to vocals, but oh wells. The more cringe worthy it is, the more it's like bliss.

"I don't like the GazettE because of the fans."
Response of the Zess: You're stupid. Anyone that lets the actions of other people determine whether or not they can enjoy a band isn't focusing on the music. Bonding over liking a similar artist is an attractive draw to liking a certain band but it shouldn't be the only reason why you like a band. It's entirely possible to like the GazettE and not step foot in the shoutbox or a GazettE tumblr ever. I do. As of this writing, they are the fifth most played band on my last.fm. Separate the fans from the music.
This also goes out to the people that act like the GazettE never has made good music and is the symptom of decay in the visual kei scene. Shut up. I know you listen to them with the scrobbler off so don't front.
Oh and if for whatever reason you feel like somebody will judge you for liking the GazettE (or any band) get off last.fm and dismount from your high horse. That's a sign of neurosis. If you actually knew how few people looked at your last.fm or cared about what you listen to, you wouldn't care at all. If anyone ever DOES judge you for listening to a band you like, tell them to go play in traffic.
