Music should, indeed, be a free thing.  I'm glad that, as it would seem from that quote, Ryutaro (and Pura in general?) would probably agree with that.

I remember reading (or seeing from somewhere) where Ryutaro was quoted saying: "I don't really think about the genre when writing songs. I just think about which sound would best express what I write about", or something to that effect. I believe this is a good practice, that way they would never get restricted to one particular sound (and in turn, widen their fanbase).
 
Just a thought.

I wasn't a fan of pura at first, and I only had/liked a couple of their songs. The first pura song I heard was Sanatorium, and it actually became soundtrack of my 2012 second quarter. It wasn't until I started reading about their history and influences that I started to understand why/how they sound the way they do. I realized that a good number of their influences were the same as mine growing up. That's when I really started to listen to their songs and ended really loving them.
 
Not sure if it has any relevance, but my middle name is actually "Pura" and my band's name is "Atori". Just a funny coincidence.      

Thanks!
 

Thanks!
 

^ i like your hair

it's pretty biased. Arimura Ryutaro of pura.

Art kei FTW.

I never really thought about it, but the majority of newer visual-kei bands I listen to are in on this "trend" (i.e. yazzmad, umbrella, etc).

might be wrong in genres, but i would say the god and death stars sound like indie rock
 

Knowing the vocalist of Yeti was from Aicle, I was disappointed after listening to their compilation album. I was expecting more or similar to Yeti sound.
 
I am going to try out Chanty, sound like they have potential but something seems off in the vocals
 
I hope indie sounding bands becomes a trend in VK. Yeti is probably the first band that hooked me on that sound.
 
I also like Umbrella

 
and Yazzmad, sadly no PV

some attempts at halloween makeup. I realize only now my lipstick was too pink.
 
 
**EDIT:
 
here's what i actually did:
 

 

I found my old albums, so I think it was my best hllwn look ever.
2012.
