Keiyuu

I'd vote for early 1990s - early 2000s if it was available. xD Also... Nagoya kei started to rise in the early 90s.. : /

Yeah, I checked the mail like a few hours later and some nice things were sold out already. Seems like we have some rarezhunters here.

Ugh.. every time I read about an rarezhut update, the interesting things for me are almost all gone already. D:

【zɔ́:diæ̀k】 (zodiac) - 「R・E・A・L」 Not really an "album intro" but it's the intro to their Destiny to,,, demotape and I think it captures the atmosphere of this bands concept very well.

Then it's definitely him. iyoiyox is the account with those Levia tapes and the other stuff. Thanks for confirming this!

Also worth mentioning is that this seller had at least two more copies of the bootleg Matina DVD hyura bought + at least two KELOID tapes. http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b158133370 http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b159894149 And this Levia tape (滅びの序章) mentioned in the thread before. http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b158348584 I suppose 滅びの序章 belongs to a real band called Levia, the one that was listed a lot of times in CLUB GIO's 1993 list (where Kisaki's Levia never played). And as we know, their member names confirm that they had nothing to do with Kisaki: http://monochrome-heaven.com/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-515-0-68667200-1395329942.png I'm very sure that the tape sold by this seller (who is Kisaki or someone who's involved in his shit) had a photocopied cover without these names on it. From what I saw on Naaaaani's photo, there aren't any names on the KELOID tape either. When Kisaki made up all his bullshit (probably around the time when he released his book in 2007) he just used this Levia band as a base for his "first band". Even the title of his fictional band's tape was derived from Levia's. http://kisaki-official.syncl.jp/?p=shop&id=530024&af= 滅びの序章 → 滅序章 Oh and this: Yeah sure, KISAKI PROJECT in 1994... Why not create another potential tape to sell for 5000 yen, right? I won't be surprised if this someday pops up on an auction from a user who's selling unreleased Matina and UCP stuff - more than one copy, of course. ;D The only thing so far that may indeed be real is that 奴隷華 tape by SHEY≠DE, which is listed in hyura's magazine from 1999 as their only tape. I somehow doubt that he already faked his band history back then, but who knows...

Here is the lyrics sheet from Nude of J's tape. If you have trouble with Japanese, just pay attention to the English parts. They're the same songs. To make it clear.. I'm not saying they just covered the songs, but those "Levia" songs Naaaaani uploaded are Nude of J - exactly the same recording. And Nude of J were indeed a real band, which was active for about 8 years (they had different lineups and were called Bijou later). There's definitely something very fishy about Kisaki's history...

What the hell..?! This IS Nude of J! o_O Both, KELOID and PRAY are identical to the songs on Nude of J's 傷痕 tape...

That article is from this magazine btw. It seems that Resistar Records doesn't have a website, because they are a sub-division of Free-Will for the bands DOGinThePWO, BugLug and Blu-BiLLioN. http://www.f-w-d.co.jp/ But they have an official Youtube channel and Twitter https://www.youtube.com/user/ResistarRecords https://twitter.com/DD5494 And this (a mobile site..?) http://www.f-w-d.co.jp/mobile-contents/rr_moba.html

Looks like Dejavu and Miss are also VICE RISK songs. http://www.rarezhut.net/product/vice-risk-dejavumiss%E2%80%A6 This makes LAYBIAL's MISS tape a complete rip-off from track 1 to 6. @Naaaaani Can't wait for your tape!

Ah thanks, I forgot elias posted his scan. Ok, I don't get it... Kisaki's Levia should look like this Vocal: MAKI Guitar: 美憂 (Miyu) Bass: KISAKI Members on 滅びの序章 Vocal: 冬樹 (Fuyuki) Guitar: 沙霧 (Sagiri/Sakiri ?) Bass: AINE Drums: HIRO Why are there only 3 on the picture? But either way, this looks to me like a completely different band. :/

Alright, I guess I can more or less confirm that Kisaki's Levia existed .. but there's now even more confusion regarding the tapes. There is this auction where someone sold Levia's KELOID tape and the seller also describes that it's Kisaki's band and that the tape contains 2 tracks (which fits to the official listing on Kisaki's site). http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b158133370 The same seller also sold this tape... which he describes as Kisaki's Levia band as well. But he didn't say how it's called, only that it was live distributed. http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b158348584 (Thanks to @hyura♡ who spotted these auctions ;D) And guess what.. That's the 滅びの序章 tape that was on RarezHut ! Some time ago when I asked @Biopanda about it, he told me that it's a different Levia and not Kisaki's so I always assumed there were two Levia bands. Kisaki's sources never listed a tape called 滅びの序章 either. But then I took a closer look at Levia's history on his official site and spotted something... There are 4 dates where a demo tape was distributed at their live. One of them is called "My Duel" so I guess we can drop that one. The others don't have a title mentioned. After some more google work I (woops..I mean hyura xD) found this picture from an old auction: Now this looks familiar, right? My conclusion is.. this might be indeed Kisaki's Levia and it's the tape that was distributed on two days on christmas in 93 - black-white on one day and green the other day. I'd like to ask anyone who owns this tape, or Biopanda who sold it .. What is written on the inlay/sheet or whatever comes with that demo. Are there any member names? And where does the title 滅びの序章 come from, is it written somewhere? It's a bit weird that Kisaki doesn't mention this title while being so thorough and accurate when it comes to his history. By looking at those crappy pics on it, that guy on the left kinda looks like a young Kisaki and his Levia also had 3 members. There is still one thing that supports the -2 Levia's- theory: On the website of CLUB GIO Ichikawa there are numerous "LEVIA" lives listed for 1993. But like already mentioned in this thread, Kisaki's band never played in CLUB GIO and the shows listed there don't fit to the ones on Kisaki's site at all. Yeah, so .. what do you think? Mystery solved or not yet? /Sherlock mode off

Anyone knows who this is?

Are you talking about Hibiki = Yayoi? He is from Vice†risk (the Matina band), they have nothing to do with VICE∞RISK.

So this is what today's oldschool vk sounds like? I see, I see...

Could #14 be Dear Loving? I wouldn't bet on it, but they kinda look like them.

Thank you for the pics! Yeah, I think on the second pic that's not supposed to be LAYBIAL - I'm 99% sure it's SHEY≠DE. There's also Shio on that photo who was a member of SHEY≠DE. But the "LAYBIAL" pic... I'm really not sure. LAYBIAL had 4 members.. Why are there only 3 on the photo? And this may be just my imagination but somehow, those two guys look like his GARDEN bandmates. The one to the right on your pic is here on the left side while the other one is in the front. Their faces look the same to me and GARDEN indeed had only 3 members.

This is how CROW-SIS looked like at the event. Btw, the second one from left is Azumi (Ruellia). He was their first bassist, known as "Nopi" back then. The setlist: 01. IDIOT 02. 道化の華 03. シビル 04. NERVOUS 05. Darling

I don't think this is a definitive proof. The pictures could be of any other band from that time where he played as a guest musician or something like that. Is he even recognizable on those pics? A scan would be nice, if it's not too much trouble! Especially the fact that the second "LAYBIAL" photo is from a time where he already was in SHEY≠DE. Also, "The details are secret". Yeah sure, guess why... Wow, I didn't know that! Well, things like this and also THIS: are even more reasons not to believe what he writes about his history... @ inartistic Please, we all want to see that tape! D:

Wtf, seriously..? I love his work in LA VALLIÉRE...
