basically all of my j-rock music since I don't have to focus on lyrics when listening.
 
I typically do a whole discog, ANTHEM is my fave
 
but for harder courses, silence

can't really say much bad stuff about any of them since it they are pretty much indie as ffffff. It is kinda expected to be bad with the bad recording, studio room, and whatever else that can't be supported financially. Plus it doesn't seem like any of those bands are relatively experienced or have a guide musically.

I can't be the only person not hearing anything wrong can I? Are you really confusing poor audio quality for poor singing?
You might not have noticed this because you were too busy masturbating furiously to your own opinions and your confirmation bias that it's going to be bad, but the sound has pretty much been halved.
He even sounds more legit power metal than kamijew


[hyperventilates into a brown paper bag]

FYI: Information from the fan who follows their asses around.

It was Rua. He's been hinting that he wanted out since their live right before their last One Man. 

Excuse me, I'm going to go sob now.
 
(Also, Raychel jumped ship last month with good reason (his mom's getting pretty ill) So, it's partially him, too. I don't believe in blaming anyone for this, though. So don't get that impression.)

I hate this... ;_;

Misaruka is another one I'll bring up.   They're still pretty good and are better than a lot of bands out there. I mean they're sticking to this sound and style they've been trying to develop without becoming another mediocre pop rock band with electronic beats, deathcore pig screams and other hyped up VK cliches crammed into their songs. It's like they're actually trying to write good music except their songs are just kinda boring. Their early releases were pretty exciting, at least in a sense wanting more from them since they seem to have potential. Yet that last album just wasn't all that remarkable.   I think they can be great but I just don't know what it is that's holding them back.     Haha, this made me laugh. I don't listen to Kameleo but I'll sometimes have similar thoughts with other artists. 

I was under the impression that they were widely regarded as symphonic power metal, leaning towards power metal later in their career as the symphonic parts were decreased as their career goes on.
But that's what genres do. They give you a general idea of what to expect. Any band that sticks to their guns on the genre that they belong to aren't very interesting.
 
 
He's experimented within the realm of Versailles some and that still didn't stop the torrent of criticism about how all of his music sounds the same. GLOWING BUTTERFLY, Dry Ice Scream and Judicial Noir are all pretty different sounding, yet they all sound very similar. It's Hizaki's style, not his influences, that makes everything sound the way it does.

Aside from his days in Crack Brain, HIZAKI has pretty much grounded himself as a metal musician with this style he works with. His solo projects and the bands he has joined usually always had some variant of frilly metal riffs, solos and song structures. So I don't know why people expect anything else other than frilly HIZAKI metal from him? That's what he does and has always done for the majority of his musical career. Expecting him to do a kote kei song is silly when he's never really played that style of music.
 
Now Teru I think really branches out and does neat things, all the songs he composed in Versailles were some of the coolest they had and stood out from the rest. I'd listen through an album and without looking at who composed what, it was easy to tell which one was a Teru song. I hope Teru composes more music in Jupiter because his songs always were a breath of fresh air after two or three HIZAKI/Kamijo songs.

You can try and provide me an example of a similar band based on themes and influences of aristocats, vampire, rose, undead, ann rice novels(mainly the characters and its own themes), light and darkness, french romance, prince and princesses, palaces, baroque,17th century society and in some instances christianity.
 
They are Versailles period.
 
Quite the contrary, I don't like plenty of power/melodic bands for their terrible vocals and concepts for their songs. I follow very few for these reason. I can only describe Versailles as Symphonic-heavy metal, I don't think they are fast enough to be power metal. I am not up to debate what sub-genre is what but simply stating Versailles is power metal is a gross understatement in what they bring to their music.
 
Vocals depends on an individuals taste in music. You trying to state Kamijo has bad vocals to me doesn't mean shit.
 
note: I don't consider growlers/screamo/cookie-monster vocals in the same category as Kamijo's style. They are very different and can only fit the metal they were intended for.

Thanks, I totally agree to you.
 
Also, why should they want to have a "new" Verailles if Versailles isn't even disbanded?
Versailles and Jupiter are two projects and they excist both. 
It seriously unnecessary to compare them because you can't comepare a person with him / herself.
The only thing that is different is the cencept and the vocalists but isn't that what makes these two bands two unique projects?
 
So to conclude: I will support these guys no matter what they do.
 
Oh, and I think Kamijo has the perfect voice for Versailles. It wouldn't have had the 'Lestat' feeling that belonged in the story Versailles is based on if there wouldn't be Kamijo. (Btw don't forget that in a symphonic metal band vocalists often don't have powerful voices, often even really soft ones like Kamijo has one.)
