    Hi everyone, I'm trying to get hold of some rare goods for two of my favourite VK bands. If anyone has any of these items that they are willing to sell, please name a price and we can negotiate for something that's good for both of us. I've been looking for these across all avenues of the internet for several months without any luck, so I turn to the community for help.

     

    WANTED:

     

    GALEYD - 1st ONE MAN Infitial Forward (contains the track 'Train (ballad ver.)'

    GALEYD - Slip of my Life (bonus live DVD for buying 'EYE WILL...' from Diskunion)

    GALEYD - Shangrila (bonus live DVD for buying 'EYE WILL...' from one of their lives)

     

    Signal - M・E・L・T -piano arrange- (CD given for attending their live 'DIVE TO BLOOD -scars away-')

    Signal - BOOTLEG LIVE DVD (given at their one man 'Night of Judgement')

     

    Thanks so much if you can help me out!

    If Miyavi is well known for one thing, it's not sticking to one thing. Despite his ever-changing style, I applaud the man for the enthusiasm he pumps into each new project. From his darker roots with Due le Quartz, through his acoustic, hip-hop and completely stripped down eras, he's managed to hold my attention. I agree, he's not the most brilliant vocalist or the most original composer, but nearly every song on this new album is so damn catchy it's hard to get it out of your head. And despite myself, I love it. The lyrics are deeper (Justice), the choruses are catchier than ever (Ahead of the Light, Horizon) and he's still managed to be experimental (Secret). All in all, I really enjoyed this album, and while it's a completely different step from anything Miyavi has done before, I'll support him in his new dance-guitar hybrid mode. It's just too memorable not to.

    Absolutely gutted. I'm flying out the day AFTER their last one-man (still hoping I can do something about that). I've been a huge fan since their first single and bought everything since. I really wanted to see them live some day, but it looks like that won't be possible now. I wish them all the best, and I hope that we'll see the remaining members pursue a new project soon.

    Apocalypse AND Awakening Impression (live dist.) were IMO not good...Also, the new preview doesn't really grab me. The way his high screams are done really rub me the wrong way and everything else in all the other previews just run together. Not to mention he sounds really nasally. So thus far, IMO as originally stated, they are going downhill.

     

    Fair enough. I'm not one of those people to complain about other people's listening habits, just enjoy what you like.

     

    About the more major bands, well, that's just disgruntled fangirls. As far as the GazettE are concerned, I'm perfectly happy with their evolution. People raved about the effects on TOXIC, but if they actually took the time to listen to the whole album they would have found only two or three tracks used any autotune at all. They've always played with interesting electronic effects and vocal samples, just a lot more recently. DIVISION was slightly lacklustre for me, but still a solid release.

     

    @Whoever mentioned ALSDEAD, I think the opposite. I only started listening to them after Separator just came out, but I'm really liking that album so far.

    I have to disagree with Signal, they're quickly becoming one of my favourite bands outright. You speak of Undertake like it's their last good release, but in fact they only released one single after that so far (and of course the great live-dist. Awakening impression). For me at least, their releases have been pretty consistent. MELT and GLOW BACK are stellar releases, but they can clearly still go hard and heavy (hello Apocalypse, even if Yuri's voice sounded a little strained on the higher screams). Judging by the preview for their new single though, he's back on form as one of my favourite active vocalists.

     

    As for my own opinion on bands going downhill, I'd put forward Lustknot. Their first singles really caught my attention, but recently I've lost interest. Their recent releases don't have that wow factor for me, and I might even go as far as calling them a little same-y. I'm still going to keep up with them though to see what they put out next.

     

    And on a longer time scale, my vote goes to Lycaon. Royal Order was a really great album, but then they... changed. I'm hoping this new label they've founded means they'll return to their roots a little more, the only songs I liked much in recent memory were Pierrot, ROSE and Plug into the Socket.

    I agree 100% about face to face, it's the best song of the single. I also agree that Breaking the silence was awesome. That said, for the most part I've tended not to care much for Sadie's B-sides, at least since the MOR album. Rosario of course being the exception to that rule.

    Gutted that I'm in Japan when they play London. Sure, I'll probably go see them there at some point anyway, but it's not the same as playing your home country with your friends there too. I'm surprisingly disappointed to miss it.

    The links provided in the original post were all to Puresound... so I imagined Shmilly had already tried all the tricks.

    Glad you got one! Did you get that through CC? I wanna feel helpful, haha.

     

    Not quite. I was doing the usual checks and saw it on Closet Child, but then I also found it on Yahoo Auctions for about 800 yen less, so I got it from there xD
