I love both, but Kuroyume for sure.
 
I generally find that with SADS Kiyoharu's voice gets grating faster and the songs can drag a bit. If I compare my favourite Kuroyume song (Beams) to my favourite SADS song (Strawberry), I enjoy listening to the Kuroyume track much more. Plus, Kuroyume's music has so much more variety. There's something I can listen to each day. I find I have to really be in the right mood to listen to SADS.
 
There's also a charming goofiness and innocence to Kuroyume at times that you don't get much of in SADS.
For example:

This immaturity does nothing to impress me.

Really? I always thought it was a great band name. Seemed like a great conversation starter. "Oh yeah, I love Dirty Old Men. I just bought one of their shirts.".

^ SADS is more like Kiyoharu wanting to do Mötley Crüe / Hanoi Rocks / sleaze-rock but with distortion kicked up to 11 (and most of their signature stuff is kinda borderline punk-metal).

Wow, the new concept looks incredibly stupid.

^Yeah, Miyaviuta~Dokusou~ is glorious. What's My Name?, on the other hand, is the album that made me stop listening to Miyavi for a while. Couldn't get into it at all.

I find it harder to find good English while dealing exclusivly in vk, but when you go outside it you can find more fluent English speakers/singers.
Outside of what violetchain already said I have loads more flipping through my playlists...
After Tonight, [Alexandros], The Bonez (shares the vocalist of RIZE), Cleave, Crossfaith, FACT, LOKA (same singer as Supe & Undivide), MAN WITH A MISSION, Radwimps, Shores, SiM, The Winking Owl, etc....
 
Then there's bands like fade, Monkey Majik and Shark Ethic that have non-Japanese native English speakers for vocalists.

There's definitely a lot of terrible Engrish out there, but, to be fair, there are still quite a few bands with vocalists that sing in perfect English, and many that aren't too far off. 
 
Ken Lloyd (Oblivion Dust, Fake?, Atom on Sphere)
 
K (Pay money To my Pain)
 
Takeshi Hosomi (ELLEGARDEN, the Hiatus)
 
Taku Muramatsu (Nothing's Carved In Stone, Abstract Mash)
 
+ bands like coldrain, New Breed, HeavensDust, etc.
 
I think AA='s English is pretty solid too, most of the time.

I have used sport bras for almost two months. Tried normal ones for the first time in a while and wow, they're so bouncy <3333
 
I totally understand why boobs are loved

Excellent tracks mentioned so far! I'm particularly fond of the LUNA SEA, Kagrra, and 9GBO choices.
 
Some of my other favorites:
 - BUCK-TICK - Kourin from 13kai wa gekkou (okay, it has an intro before it but jesus it's totally amazing/epic/slow/sinister)
 - SADS - Hello from The Rose God Gave Me (it's SADS, it's glam-punk-metal, 'nuff said)
 - SHERBETS - Iceland Boy from MIRACLE (let yourself be drawn into the surreal magical otherworld of Kenichi's gentle tones)
 - Church of Misery - Killfornia (Ed Kemper) from Master of Brutality (riles you up perfectly and then DAT BASS riff hits at 1:28 & you know shit is GOING DOWNNN)

Glad to know it's actually "Damn baby don't you care that I'm puking all over you". I always thought I was mishearing that part.
 

I don't mind them. As a matter of fact, when I hear that a bands wants to re-record some of my favourite songs, I usually look forward to it and am curious what they will do with it.
 
Some re-recording are better than the original, some are worse, some are pointless because they aren't much different at all.
 
 
 
I never understood that reasoning. Yes, some re-recording may be worse than the original. But who cares? It's not like the original song will vanish into thin air, or that some almighty power forces people to only listen to the new version from now on. Like the original better? Listen to that one and not the re-recording! Case closed.
 
I think a re-recording makes most sense if the original was done with poor production value due to the limitations of the band at that point. I know some trve kvltists find it sacrilegious to take a song that was originally recorded in the kitchen of vocalists' mother and re-record in a proper studio - but not me. XD Many bands re-record old song because they finally have the means to produce them they way the wanted to begin with, but just couldn't afford to.

Apparently most of my favourite GLAY ballads are from the early '00s. However is a classic, though.

The new Suck a Stew Dry and 04 Limited Sazabys songs are both really cute. It's nice to see the singer from Suck a Stew Dry looking so confident too. Seems like he's really cheered up a lot with the last few releases.

Wow. Not only did they make an idol group called "Chubbiness" that appears to have very few actually chubby women in it (How are the ones in light green and purple even remotely chubby?), they made a video that shows them eating constantly and has one of the girls literally eating her own "tears".
