Flash-Fab-Supernova

I think I have a bigger problem with lip syncing during a live and obvious constant auto-tune trying to fix the vocals rather than being used for a stylistic reason. I think there are a lot of different factors that go into a finished visual kei song, especially with todays management style. Some bands even have similar lyrics, choruses, pv location. At this point orignality is reaching a glossy point, it started around the time Alice Nine stopped looking like silly punks and then reached peak perfection with bands like ViViD, who at this point are trying for k-pop styled looks and haven't made a good release since the indies. Most of the more harder rock VK bands look like darker indies ViViD and all the styles seen now aren't even original. It's pretty ridiculous to try and take the whole scene seriously as a whole because it's an amalgamation of other people's styles and a bunch of pretentions and formulas. It's like this big amorphous blob of a fashion click and it weirdly gets reflected in a bunch of people that are drawn to this music. The ones that only listen to VK and even dress it everyday. Like these girls at my high school. They were extremely prudish and wouldn't talk to anyone unless they dressed "alternatively." They are normally extremely judgmental and have the worst opinions possible. There are some bands that parody this recently. (Like BORN's SATISFACTION? pv. I don't even like that band but everything they did in that pointed to them parodying the whole sub-culture.) All these bands look too perfect sometimes. BUT EVEN SO. I still really like a lot of VK. But I can't ever take anything seriously and thus like all the goofiest stuff everrrrrrrrrrr. But I think the biggest thing that usually goes into a band's songs is whoever the producer is. A big big big view at what these bands are like with out the production, just look at the aimless 12012 album that came out after they lost their guitarist. Then there is that whole Miyavi debacle where he fucked some bitch pregnant at some music show like MTV and made a big scandal and was asked to leave by PSC who hid the whole thing as a goodbye party for MYV, dat PEACE AND SMILE CARNIVAL 2. (Which had amazing performances by Kra and Alice Nine and and and and and and and uhh... The GazettE were ok. And Miyavi was SUPAA COOL YO.) But anyway~! After Miyavi didn't have PSC he did that stuff by himself and they were like... not as finished as the PSC stuff. It was a lot cooler and seemed more realistic to him but he just wasn't really making as much catchy stuff. He must have realized he couldn't do it all alone because of all the collabs he's been doing the past few years. So I believe production plays a major role on what the song is. I USED to have this crazy theory U GAIZ. OK SO LIKE. Let's take a band. HOW ABOUT ViViD. Cause. Remember DA ViViD CodE and how evil it was? And how real it seemed even though I obviously made it jokingly. BUT BUT GUESS WHAT. I had more of a theory. OF THEIR EVIL. But I fear the PSCurse. But ANYWAY. All the band members ever in VK use Stage names right? Well let's say these stage names are secretly a DISGUISE. So let's look at a band member. We'll take Shin. You know~! That vocalist wit dat cheesey vibrato and rapper skillz TOTHEMAX~! (For you indies obsessives, he was in AKIHABARA SHOUNENDAN DENNOU OBLATT imean ROMEO and then got headhunted by an experimental PSC band that comprised of most of the people from ViViD. And they pretty much convinced him to just leave his old band and join their PSC SUPER BAND. And everyone said "AHAHAHAHA IT SOUNDS LIKE xTRiPx!!" ANYWAY WHAT I WAS GETTING AT. WHAT IF. Shin isn't just the person you see who sings. Shin could be an encompassing name, like the name of a group of people. The one that writes the lyrics, the one that picks out the outfit, the one that walks the singer/guitarist/bassist through how to perform the music correctly. SO LIKE. IT COULD BE A CIRCLE NAME. SOMETIMES IT COULD EVEN HAVE A PERSON WHO DOES THE VOCALS AND THE SINGER IS JUST A PUPPET. And so not only is Shin the one you see twirling a towel on stage, it is everyone involved in the creation of Shin. From clothes to vocals to lyrics to anything. OR LOOK AT SuG. Saw a live where the guitarists weren't even trying to keep up with the track and it was odd. I even tried to see if the video timing was fucked up or somseshit but nope. This was all just a hypothetical WHAT IF crazy idea I had one time I was drunk and looking around at a bunch of different pvs and all kinds of shit and like. I DUNNO IT MAKES SENSE SOMETIMES.

I like it. Reminds me of ARTMAN~!

Their first avex release sounds promising~. I've yet to hear the full song or the b-sides. ;__;

1. Hellraiser - Clive Barker is a master. 2. Beyond the Black Rainbow 3. Silence of the Lambs 4. Misery 5. Rubber 6. Chillerama I'm upset at the horror genre at the moment. Lately it's all possessions and haunting. I swear if I see one more horror movie that starts out with a family moving into a god damned mother fucking house where they find something in the basement I will scream. Lately that's the only way horror movies freak me out anymore. Everything is the same and nothing is interesting anymore. Can't remember the last time I saw a good new horror movie.

@Augie: I don't think it's the full song in the preview~. I really like it~. Yusa is really cute in this pv. xD Well he always is~.

You probably didn't solve anything by pushing the guy. If anything the only thing you changed was the extent of the possible abuse she will receive from him later. I bet you embarrassed the guy enough that he'll take it out on her with his own "force of Goku." Maybe this topic should be moved to Toasted Waffles since it will fit the theme going on there~.

The show was ruined by the flat characters that the audience couldn't care about. Just when you think there was about to be some dimension added it was just face-value shocks that didn't even add to the over all plot. The whole season was bull shit and with the exception of a few scenes, the effects, and some funny lines I barely enjoyed watching it. Hope next season is better. Not surprised there was a dud in the bunch, had to happen sometime.

BWAAAA~! It's awesome I can't wait for the full pv. ;O;

Bwaaa cute preview~.

Furik has bad taste. Currently reading a collection of four novels by Ernest Hemingway.

I'm getting more of a vandalism feel from this track. It's really... boring. And that EDM styled drop was really weird and came out of nowhere and it feels like it was thrown in to try to make this track less boring and stale but rather than coming off as fresh and "woah that was cool!" it was more like "LOLwat." ELVIS9 WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

Currently reading Margaret Atwood's MaddAdam~. 8D

My boyfriend took me to go see Cocorosie last fall~.

BAAAAATSUHITOOOO. ;___;

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT A DIR EN GREY SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LIKE... YEARS OR SOMETHING OK. The singer of THE KIDDIE is gonna cover I'LL on some weebee compilation~! OMG R U GAIZ AS EXCITE?
