Versailles had way more sales than either Jupiter or Kamijo solo which are pretty much equal, save Louis I believe which was the most popular. Versailles sold as much per popular release as current Jupiter and Kamijo put together. Not sure where the disconnect was, either they fell out of favor or fans dont like either project as much? Personally I am starting to defect to team Jupiter myself, maybe the new projects can regain that market pull, or maybe fans just prefer the package Versailles presented.

Fighting Odin in TB is complete bullcaca, he hits 残鉄拳, brings all chars. down to 1HP, then can hit everyone, or infinitely summon more enemies. Grrrr....

Finally almost done my list of 2014 favorites. Narrowed it down to top 6 mini's, top 12 albums, and top 25 singles. Phew...
-
Awesome, I liked the last two singles a lot. Also hopefully he is ready to bring back ABS after the album and tour.

Due to the current lawsuit they are experiencing for 'unfair competition' I heard of www.skiplagged.com, which makes it easier to plan cheap flights using a layover system. I always enjoy saving money so I have been trying to find cheap ways to fly everywhere. For example the cheapest 'premade' roundtrip package for me to Tokyo is about 1600. But if I fly to HK first for an 800 dollar roundtrip, then I can use a 180 dollar roundtrip from HK to Tokyo and the whole thing comes out more than 600 dollars cheaper. I figure there is an even cheaper way possible though.

Been listening to lots of Utada Hikaru. Still can't get over the fact that she is off the market.

Well, this is going to be epic as long as the sound is well recorded and mixed etc... BORN always sounded amazing live when I saw them and I was always impressed by how the vocals still sound great.

The Interview online now, could the movie industry be changed forever?

Love the PV style, I always enjoy cityscape-type videos. Also love the song, and love Chisa's look, it is very different and almost rebellious to the current VK looks we have, which have been a little similar for a while with bands in the 'brighter' area of VK.

2015 starting with a BANG for me; DC rolling out UNiTE, DIV, AKi, as well as Resistar prepping new DOG, and (rumoured) BugLug, Blu-Billion albums, then we got Kra stockpiling songs in case of apocalypse, and SuG coming in to start trouble.
-
Awesome, lots of new songs and a cool look. I think Sana's song will be interesting.
-
Can't wait, their last album was my favorite but I think this will top it.
-
I guess Shangri-La is my favorite MuCC album. Not sure how to put it into words but the songs have this mystical feel that just lets me use my imagination.

Sitting here in a restaurant with headphones on because they are blaring Christmas music. #LetMeEatInPeace

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIROKI! ANOTHER YEAR OF PULSATING!

Love that new Royz. Soft song but has just enough attitude to get my blood pumping.

Hello, I am sure many of us know of the popularity of Visual Kei bands having an archetypical Jazz / Swing influenced song thrown into their library (Jazz and Swing for lack of better word), where certain similar elements are thrown into a song that the band may not ever use or show influence from elsewhere. Some bands also seem to use this sound as a mainstay. I was wondering how many songs we could think of with this sound, how far back it goes, and what bands and songs could be considered the originators of this trend. Some examples: EROS - Lycaon Gossip - Lycaon LONLINESS PRINCESS - Shounenki PARADOX - Royz And many tracks by LiphLich, as heard on their Full Course album esp. I am sure I remember some older ones, will update later. Please give your input and list any other songs that you feel fall into this trend, or can be related. Any similar trends that you were wondering about? Edit: Renamed the thread since it was anonymously re-purposed to something it wasn't intended to be. Feel free to post or talk about any kind of jazz or swing songs in Japanese Rock however, I'm sure we can all enjoy them and possibly find connections in their origins, as was the original intention of this thread.

http://www.idcloak.com/web-proxy/Japan-web-proxy/a6.html Copy url to video, paste it in this site. Last time I tried it the site didn`t work on my phone so you might need to use PC.

I think both songs sound good, guitar sounds great, but I hope they eventually make more bad@ss songs like they used to. Last album was good, but I want more heavy songs too. Definitely a cleaner look now, and different image altogether. Promo material looks like Sid, Thank You For All looks like some mainstream wuss-rock video, but From the beginning looks like a standard VK `set-piece`. At least the single doesn`t cost too much.

Genuinely p!ssed at a boss fight.

Just finished cutting down all the wires for my sound system and re-tinning them. Took a while but it was worth it. Sounds so good now!

I always say that a Visual Kei fan isn't defined by how they celebrate a great new release, but what they do when their favorite group disbands, and their back is up against the wall!
