paradoxal

I was just going to say that!! Tokage, you look so much like Rupert Grint! And Furik looks like a hot bouncer

Just saying, but I think they should cancel their concerts in Russia as well...

Source: http://enchantingmoon.tumblr.com What do you guys think? I like how the album arts match Bakane's album arts. Imho they pretty damn cool But I just can't help thinking that if Yuuki's head was replaced with the head of an older woman, the picture would still look very legitimate... Like c'mon - the hat, the sunglasses, the fur, the fancy cigarette holder.......

I was going to say "yay I like this, there's no wubwub" but then the wubwub started like right in the end of the video. Nevertheless it still sounds pretty okay to me. The PV looks nice and the chorus sounds pretty cool. I'm trying to find the right words for how this sounds to me. Traditional? Schlager (if it's also an English word)? Even though this isn't exactly the direction I hoped they'd go, imho it still sounds better than gossip. Let's just wait until the whole single is released Can't wait for my copy of the limited edition to arrive.

Where is it available? It's sold out at least in CDJapan and Brand X

That's exactly what I was thinking. Just wishing I had that single too

Did their first release really have three types? Wasn't it just a super cheap demonstration single?

DELACROIX - curse EPITAPH

Welcome to MH! Lol I have never met a person who says they like Dollis Marry... I have like one or two of their releases and they are so hilarious XD MISTER ROMANTIC~

Lycaon <3

Omfg these news made my day a lot better. I'm going to order the hell out of that single. It must be so awesome.

I use Elocon along with other products It does help but it burns so much it brings tears into my eyes XD

A lot of medical problems listed underneath... And now you know every possible medical issue that I have. Lol.

I was referring to what CAT5 said in the second post about forced accents etc. Of course everyone sings and speaks in a different voice, but I think we're discussing whether VK singers have "two different singing voices". CAT quote under the spoiler.

I wasn't originally talking about that deep, chest-originated, "faux baritone" voice (Kamijo, D, etc), but about the lighter and more normal style of VK singing, because that's the way I like it. When my dad commented the singer, I was listening to bands like DIV and Lustknot. But I think others might have been talking about the baritone voice. There are some examples under the spoilers. Yuki (Lustknot.) i'm ofc talking about his clean voice Chisa (DIV) I think it's pretty clear that those super low baritone voices aren't their real voices at all. But what about singers like Yuki (Lustknot.), Chisa (DIV), Yuuki (Lycaon), Subaru (Royz)?

[a lot of cursing] The skin in my thumbs has been so dry the whole winter that I literally get wounds and cracks from using them. It doesn't matter what kind of prescription cortisone creams I use or how oily the drugstore creams I use are, they just keep cracking and cracking. Now I have 12 little bleeding cracks in my thumbs and a few in my index fingers. AND IT HURTS SO FUCKING MUCH AND I CAN'T EVEN BEND THEM WITHOUT THE SKIN CRACKING EVEN MORE. The cortisone cream I use kinda helps, but it burns and hurts more than pouring fucking strong HNO3 on your hand (been there done that). My heels are also cracking so badly but OMFG I CAN'T MOVE MY THUMBS. [/a lot of cursing]

Excuse the outfit - I tend to dress down at home, If the house was empty Id be naked Looking handsome!

Wow hyura you're soooo pretty!!

Wow, I had no idea that VK singers don't sing with their natural voices... Maybe this was the reason I was so confused with this subject. Now this seems a lot more logical. Thank you for sharing that piece of information! But now I'm even more curious - since when has this started and how do their natural voices sound like. Considering the amount of foreign visual kei -inspired bands (though good ones are pretty rare) I'm wondering why Yohio seems to be the only one who has managed to make his voice sound like (new wave) VK vocalists' voices do.

Back in 2006 my friend sent me a few songs via MSN () and I started liking them immediately. The first songs I've heard were Vidoll - Teddy and D'espairsRay - Valentine. There isn't much more to it - my friend just sent me the songs, I liked them, and started digging up more bands.

I started thinking about the Japanese/VK way of singing while I was driving with my dad and listening to VK. My dad as a musician said something like "The instrumentals are quite nice, but why do they sing like that? Are there any "normal" rock vocalists in Japan?" By normal I think he meant the way eg. classic rock vocalists sing (to name a few: Joe Lynn Turner, David Coverdale, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan etc). I seriously couldn't answer that question, since I basically listen to nothing but newer visual kei. I've been listening to visual kei a long time but I feel ashamed because I am not very familiar with other Japanese rock music. So my question is: Do that kind of Japanese vocalists exist? And if they don't, then why? Could it be just a matter of a different language and the way they've learned to talk and sing? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question and I'm just a weeaboo who listens to nothing but VK, but at least I'll hopefully get some kind of answer.

Omg when I saw you replied to this post I was like "Yay finally he had the courage to post himself in here!!" You can't imagine how disappointed I was

Lycaon has revealed the album arts for their first single 「馬鹿ね。」! I think the album arts are just stunning. I love them. And I want those glitter shoes more than anything.

I liked the preview of Akujo no hohoemi a lot more than I liked gossip! The chorus was pretty nice, I can't wait to hear the whole song. The whip slash is cool, they used it also in Kuro no datura and it sounded awesome. It's like the best part of the song imho, I like the song a lot.

Same, I hope he'll recover soon! Hopefully his voice will be okay!
