  1. Kagrra.

     

    They were pretty unique in the V-kei scene blending traditional Japanese elements into rock music. They were on the softer side of the spectrum and Isshi had a nice voice. What makes this very sad is that there's no chance of a revival since Isshi died.

     

    Them along with D'espairsray were also my earliest exposure to V-kei and bands I miss them most since I enjoyed both bands' music.


  2. Kagrra, always had some nice album art.

     

    Looking up some Dir en grey stuff and found some album art I thought was impressive.

    Gauze era had some nice album art too, though I'm probably just bias when I see women in suggestive poses.

    VANIRU is a new Japanese Visual Kei band with a dramatical Electro/Goth Rock sound who is led by their front man, Leoneil and guitarist Yuto. Although just being formed in May 2013, VANIRU is the first rock band to be sponsored by MAC Cosmetics and has been highly sought after by leading and famous artists. Furthermore Vaniru is also managed by Baldre Company Limited, who has managed various legendary Jrock icons.

    VANIRU's
    name comes from the north mythological gods called Vanir. Gods
    associated with fertility, also known as Freja, associated with
    fertility, love, masic....Incubus, being considered as one of the most
    beautiful among all gods.

    LEONEIL: It is
    the provocative. From gods to demons, our vision a seamless world. It
    could be a place on the world, but it is no longer of this world…Those
    who can connect to this chaos, our world, let themselves seduced, which
    is also depicted in their logo.

    VANIRU has already been
    touring and was in Europe recently beside Gothika and Adams and is
    gaining popularity rather rapidly. They already have over 18,000 fans on
    their official Facebook
    page, no doubt because their music is of great quality, fresh and new
    to the Goth/Visual Kei scene which has been recognized in several media
    entities worldwide to gain them much exposure.

    VANIRU as new of a
    band as they are, have already had their first international digital
    releases starting in July of this year on iTunes, and Amazon titled "Cosmic Night" taken from "Masquerade of Cosmic" , followed by "High Fantasy" and "ZAKURO". Today the duo released a new full length video for song "ZAKURO" on their Youtube Channel.
