paradoxal

That pose and facial expression was all you right? take pride in your work dude. top dollar shit right there. but yeah the the photographer was good!

Ooh Tetora you look so handsome in that pic! Pls some moar pics!

What band would you like to give you a facial?

Nothing you are saying makes sense anymore.

Both parties sure have points, but what bugs me more is that so many people paint the "elders" of the scene as narcistic assholes who are jealosuy of other bands and who try to overestimate their own success. Because his is not true. Of what should the elders be jealous? And why? After all, groups like LUNA SEA, KJamaitachi, X Japan and Pierrot were extremely popular and influential on the genre. It wouldn't really make sense if they were jealous of all these bands in the VK scene that started out (in one point of history) as their copy bands. New Visual kei is vastly different from old VK, but if you trace back the history of any modern band, epecially big bands like the Gazette, you will always end at LUNA SEA and their peers from that time.

Also I am sure that most modern VK musicians are aware of the influence those old bands had. I am sure too that they all admire their elders. Therefore painting the elders as ignorant, envious assholes is pretty mean and not right. Also: why aren't they allowed to give their own opinion on VK? They were pretty much the creators, the fathers of VK. If it wasn't for them, VK wouldn't even be a thing nowadays. So they have all the reason to talk about it as they want. You don't have to agree with them, you don't even need to listen to them. It doesn't hurt you either that most of them disllike what their "baby" has grown into. I don't really understand how sensible one can be when the opinion of one musician makes you so angry that you have to talk bad about them. But maybe I am just growing sick and tired of people banging their heads against each other, just because their precious Kyo has said something about VK which they didn't like. (Also sure that in at least 20 years the popular VK bands of today will say the same about the next generation of VK bands)

And on a side note: LUNA SEA and Co. were definitely original, at least in their time span, when VK wasn't really thing and not many bands played in this style. In my opinion they are even original today. There may have been a lot of copy cats, but no other band actually reached the same level they had. Their impact on the japanese music scene was pretty big too, and wasn't just limited to futire Visual kei, but probably japanese rock music in general. I doubt that Sugizo is envious of "modern stuff" as their music is timeless and perfect as it is. And show me any modern day VK band that has reached the same legendary status, influence and fame that LUNA SEA have, please. And I am saying this as someone who isn't such a big fan of them. But I am not an igorant idiot and claim that they are a forgettable band who didn't pull of anything.

(I may agree with the statement about Angelo, but not Dir en grey. The latter don't even have any connection to VK anymore, so comparing their current stylistic direction with the stagnation of today's VK scene is far-fetched. And them playing their old songs form time to time doesn't really count and doesn't make them VK)

Product of a recent shoot. Pardon me I had to draw all over it, ehehehe.
 
Admiring everyone elses photos, looking good!

ono not this shit again. 
blackdoll, please, stop being an ignorant kid and trying to pin on your bullshit to others. you won't go too far with all those ridiculous arguments of yours. respect people's opinions and maybe your opinion will also be respected. 
 
and who the fuck stole flash-fab-supernova's account? curious to know, really.

1. Everything those old schoolers say is true. VK is in a period of stagnance run by money and looking cute to grab the tweens who want drag queens to drool over.
 
2. VK music was COMPLETELY different back then than what it is now. The music had diverse sounds rather than the same old shit being rehashed over and over. Visual Kei has become a conglomerate of pumping out over produced over done tacky bitches.
 
3. How are they being hypocritical? Their bands could never be easily compared to the sound of another. Now almost all VK bands are just overdone copypasta. And it's the TRUTH. You just don't want to accept it because you aren't mature enough yet to see it. But don't worry, you'll get there soon. We've all been in your position of haughty egoistic opinions. 
 
4. Calling them pricks and saying they should be spat on shows you are wildly immature and need to sit back and take a deep breath and actually THINK before you type. Especially when you are insulting the forefathers of your supposed loved genre of music. With out any of those "pricks" there wouldn't be VK. 
 
5. Anything Pierrot, Dir en Grey, Luna Sea, Kenzi did were all VASTLY different than the generic manufactured VK that is running rampant in the market today. Maybe I'll make an infographic that will show you the lines of descent between these bands and the new acts that are stinking up the place with their shoddy guitar riffs, clang-bang drumming, and cartoon styled vox.
 
666. Get some salve for that bruised ego of yours if you get upset over the opinions of others. You can't change them. And if ANYONE has a say on what VK has become it's definitely the people who laid down the ground work for what is here today.

lol hizakami was faster i choose you, ellegarden!

I think they are quite important for me. Here in the internetz one's username (and avatar) are the things that leave the first impression on others, and tbqh I just couldn't take seriously anyone whose username was sth like  ~^rukisamaisk4w411_98^~. I wouldn't really imagine someone being comfortable with a nickname like that. I value usernames that are easy to remember and at least in some way original. Not that my own nickname is the most original and most unique username ever, I have just used it for many years and don't feel like changing it.

Yeah, I totally feel you. I think a username is great if others can't figure out your main interestes, age etc just based on your username, Because otherwise your whole personality and life will be watered down to only those details. It's the same in real life. If you decide to tattoo your whole face with something idiotic, you can't expect people to not treat you differently. Your username (and avatar) is your virtual face, and if your username is plastered with stupid shit, you will probably notice people won't take you as seriously as they otherwise would.

their new album "Instigate the Grief" has been available for download through iTunes

Yall too slow, step it up!

Same here, although I don't really have too much input on that.
 
But whenever I see the insane prices some rare vk stuff gets at auctions I have wondered if any band ever succumbed to the temptation to keep a few of their live-house distributed rarez just to sell them incognito for 10 times the price on Yahoo some time later. XD

You guys are brothers, stop fooling everyone XD. Even the white shirt is similar hahaha
