6. Kagrra,
7. deadman
8. 9GOATS BLACK OUT
9. Dir en Grey
10. Probably the GazettE? I don't listen to them often but I somehow got my childhood friend addicted to them for life
 
Also shout out to my undying love for Kaya, because I never got into Schwarz Stein so can't really list them.

i don't remember if i posted here before or not, but here goes:
 
1. マルコ

I'm hoping Sui's project makes it somewhere on this list once I get his single...

1.Nightmare
2.boogieman
3.Penicillin
4.Metronome
5.Mucc
6.Amber Gris
7.Versailles
8.Kagerou
9.Phantasmagoria

I would not be surprised if they played stuff from Daisuke's solo project as well since many of the guest were also responsible of completing his album after his passing.

Deadman
Malice Mizer
Rentrer en Soi
Sugar
9Goats Black Out
 
there are others I miss, but they're either gone because the singer died or they were starting to get mediocre and probably needed to disband anyway. 

Bands come and go unfortunately but no band has hit me harder than
amber gris
Their music and rhythm speaks to me <3
to this day i still find myself crying to "feel me" & "wishstar and sunlight and darkness" 

Fuck, i forgot about Yukina(メシアの肖像→L～CYFER（Gt）→Madeth gray'll→Qyubere(Vo)) x'DD

Yukina in Madeth gray'll
 


Yukina in Qyubere x'DDD

 

basically Rentrer en Soi -> RENTRER EN SOI as a whole
 

Ten years ago today, Spike760 and myself decided that we wanted to start a Japanese Rock forum. After a while of debating, we eventually settled on Tainted World (after the D’espairsRay song of the same name). Frankly, neither one of expected it to last all that long; this would hardly be the first forum that we had run together that didn’t go anywhere. But what started as a fun little project somehow blossomed into an amazing community. The fact that this site still exists after all this time has little to say about Spike and my’s original plan and everything to say about the members here. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping build this site into what it is today.
 
While I was one of the key founders of this site, Monochrome Heaven is so much bigger than just me. That became clear to me when we went under the transition from Tainted World to our current name back in 2011. While to really understand why this is so important requires more context, I don’t want to go into a full on history lesson. But since that point, so many members have stepped up and dedicated themselves to this site, putting in the time and effort (and money) into making Monochrome Heaven as great as it possibly can be.
 
To every member that has joined and felt like they were apart of a community over this silly niche interest we all have, I raise a glass to you. You all are what have made this place special. And to every staff member, current and past, no words can express my thanks to you - you are people that I have come to admire and consider good friends.
 
But this post isn’t about me, but about the Monochrome Heaven! I want to hear from all of you as to why this community is special, why you’ve becoming coming back for 10 months or 10 years. Or tell us one of your favorite moments from your time coming, whether that was a release you were looking for forever or a stupid meme that took over the forum.

Here’s some from other users to get things started!:
