Kuroyume tribute album FUCK THE BORDER LINE -RETAKE-
(much better sequel)
 
1. BUCK-TICK feat. Morrie - Kaitou Jikken (解凍実験)
- Not a bad idea for "senpais" to cover their "kouhais'" songs at all! The song is very post-punk-ish (in a way), and thanks to its manic Kiyoharu 3-vocal tracks, I can see Imai , Sakurai  and Morrie pulling this out well.
 
2. the GazettE - Drug People
- At least much better song choice than "C.Y. HEAD". Imagine if this were "Agony part. 2".
 
3. Tommy Heavenly6 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY
- The song is very cheery, despite quite sad-toned lyrics, and is easy for Tomoko to do.
 
4. Mao (SID) feat. SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS - HELLO, CP ISOLATION
-  Every good tribute album needs some wtf-ery, hey!
 
5. Shiina Ringo x Seiji Kameda ( or Tokyo Jihen, short-lived reunion or w/e) - Jounetsu no Kage (情熱の影)
- This calm, funky piece needs definitely Shiina's dramatic vocals in it, and Kameda to convey Hitoki's "Another One Bites the Dust"-influenced bassline. OR it might become a very jazz-heavy masterpiece too!
 
6. lynch. - MIND BREAKER
- It's quite obvious why I chose lynch. for this song - listen to it!
 
7. Miyavi - NITE&DAY
- Considering that Miyavi already "semi-covered" certain Kuroyume songs (with the band itself, lol), I might find this acoustic piece okay for him to do. It's also easy for him to convey that "raw" acoustic sound of the original.
 
8. MUCC - Tell
- I would've chosen more melancholic piece for them but considering Miya's strict "no more negativity"-policy, I had to find a laid-back song for them. Here ya go!
 
9. DIR EN GREY - Shihainaru Deathmask (201X ver.) (親愛なるDeathmask)
- These guys already covered the song back in 1997, but it would've been great to see them remake it - even if it ends up sounding in vein of Kiri to Mayu's 2012 ver. Also, this lets Toshiya and Die shine
 
10. D'erlanger - Nakigara wo (亡骸を )
- Tetsu can do some magic improvisation with that drumline loop and Cipher can make the guitarline sound so "airy". Very fitting for Kyo's vocal range too.
 
11. PENICILLIN - DANCE 2 GARNET
- Chisato riffing those Shintastic solos and Hakuei going back to his old-schooling, why not?
 
12. Takanori Nishikawa feat. SEKAI NO OWARI - SEE YOU
- Great finale for this tribute album (was used quite often as their "last song"), and Takanori makes wonders with this one (along with SNO ofc)
 
Bonus tracks (ironically, for the sake of cashing in lol):
 
13. LIPHLICH - Love Me Do
- For the sake of adding more Kiyoharu fanboys and WTF song choices
 
14. Ling Tosite Sigure - ICE MY LIFE
- More wtf-ery, more profit! I can see this ending up quite surprising.
 
15. L'Arc~en~Ciel - For Dear
- I can only hope, right? Also, guitar is very Ken-like here. PLUS quite essential song in Kuroyume's repertoire, lol.

Hi there, I'm an American living in a prefecture so mysterious even many Japanese people don't know where it is located. I go to visual kei lives as often as possible (to the point where I call it my hobby) but with budget and time being an issue I'm a "Saturday only bangya" and even then I normally only get one live in a month unless it's spring/summer/winter break. That being said, last year I managed to go to 33 events whether they were lives or in store events. This year I already somehow have 17~18 planned through May. 
 
Considering this, I have a ridiculous stack of CDs, cheki and flyers in my apartment...
 
I've listened to visual kei bands since about 2007/2008. I often cite baroque as my first band but before them I did listen to POLYSICS (do you even classify them as VK? I never see them playing at VK lives actually... but they certainly do have visual elements..). Now I don't listen to either too much. 
 
The two main bands I follow in Japan are Souiumono and Hana Shounen Baddies.
 
I also follow RUVISH to a lesser extent. I'm a big fan of Yeti but I kind of find them lackluster live (sorry!!) so I don't go see them as often as I could...
 
A few other bands I'm interested in: serial number, GIGAMOUS, rice, cocklobin, Sel'm, THE BEETHOVEN, minus jin-say orchestra, shounenki. 
 
I can speak some Japanese and have met quite a few of the members of bands (Souiumono and baddies the most, then RUVISH and I've gotten a lot of flyers from Shounenki) so I can tell you my impressions of the members as well if you are curious..
 
Besides VK, I've also dabbled in the indie metal scene a bit. 
 
I'm happy to chat about any of the visual kei bands I like or have seen. I might be a bit too chatty. 
 
Nice to meet you all, I hope we will get along

Hey guys,
 
In this thread I thought we could try putting together tribute albums we would love to see.
There are no rules, make up whatever choices you want.
 
Suggestions:
You may want to either choose one artist to be covered by multiple others, like Hide Tribute, with or without a theme.
You may choose an era to be covered, like CRUSH.
You may choose multiple artists from any era to be covered by one artist, etc...
 
Here`s one to start:
 
Alice Nine Tribute Album:
 
RAINBOWS - Takanori Nishikawa (Shou`s hero).
Time Machine - DIV
Fantasy - L`Arc en Ciel (Hyde is another of Shou`s heroes).
White Prayer - Luna Sea (Heavily influenced A9).
Blue Planet - UNiTE (Think this is a great match)
Velvet - Dir en Grey
Heart of Gold - SID
Senkou - Kra (I think Taizo would kill this on guitar!)
Heisei Juushichinen - Aoi (Think his energy would rule in this song).
 
 
Let me know what you think, and post up your own ideas!

I've always wanted to sing in a band and I still want to, but I'm not good looking enough for this.
 
What's your favorite flower?

Oh hells yea Scandal! I didn't even know they had flyers lol.
 
Uh, I currently have a xTRiPx flyer up and a tokidoki calendar. It's not my house so I'm not allowed to put stuff on the walls. I do have a few band posters lying around just waiting for a wall to be hung on
 
 
What did you want to be when you "grow up" as a child? Did you ever become/are on your way to becoming that?

What I get to look upon everyday in front of me
 

 
what posters do you have in your room?

I don't remember ever thinking that Santa was real. Santa isn't really a thing where I am from anyway, presents are tradionally brought by the "Christkind" (ie. Christ Child, a strangley bastardized version of Jesus the Child that is usually represented as a young female angel). But yeah, I don't recall ever believing in that either.
 
 
 
Is there anything on the wall in front of you and if yes, what is it?

I like 3,2% milk and soy milk. I've never had almond or rice milk.
 
When did you realize Santa isn't real?

Currently messed up. I usually like to be in bed between 9:30-10:30 because I wake up at 6. Then on Friday & Saturday night, I somehow manage to stay up to past 1am. I have also been known to go to bed at 7pm on some days xD
 
Do you have a preference for milk? 2% vs 1% or skim, or soy, almond, or rice?

That one with the coyote and the road runner
 
What's your sleeping schedule?

Where you go with a date doesnt really matter so long as their the right person for you. As for a mate its all subjective.the girl i classed as my soul mate was about 5ft6ish (or 5ft6 and a fag-end as she used to say) she had long kind dirty blonde hair - almost grey/sliver in appearance that ran all the way down her back passed her ass which was always so silky smooth. Her eyes were grey'ish but they occasionally turned a shade of blue. She was a little chubby but i loved the way she looked. She was the most amazing thing to cuddle, so soft and a little squishy. Her name was Emma but i either called her my 'little bear' or 'Emmybear' cuz she used to be curled up in my arms so much. Id whisper little bear in her ear and i could feel her heart skip a beat which was so adorable andd totally melted my heart when i felt it and her snuggle closer.
Personality wise she was a special kind of awesome, i can't quite describe it. She was bubbly, had an amazing smile, liked the same things that i did and loved my knd of humour. The only way to describe us is that we just clicked, was never pushy with her. I never had to be cuz she always knew what i was thinking or was gonna say and i trusted her so deeply.
Its been over 10years since we broke up. We've spoke on one or two occasions and i still love her as much as i did back then and deep down inside i still cry every time i think about her as there has not been a single girl ive dated in the years since we broke up who has ever come close to being her replacement. I dont expect my dates to be a 1:1 copy of her but that spark is not there.
Liek this if u cry evry tim.

Nope, there are things i hate about myself, some of those things i cant change so why get depressed over it? I get depressed about other things but i dont take it out on myself or dwell on it too much because its pointless.
If you could create any kind of sport, what wouls you create?

Yes, but I went to far when deciding to go that I ended up where I started and didnt look more like, in I was so far as to not like and decided against it.
Do you ever dance in the bathroom mirror?

Well this happens occasionally in iTunes for me, but it's easy to fix. Select all the files and either add or remove the 'album artist' field as necessary. That's all there is to it.

Hoho. I found My first post in MH

Thank you for the nice welcome!
 
Difficult question because ich have two. On the one hand it is Gemini, because i love the intense atmosphere and the whole album has a unique sound, which fits perfect to A9. On the other hand it`s Vandalize, because it is the Cd which brought me to Visual kei and I love the diversity of it with slow songs like Waterfall and the hard ones like Drella.
What`s your fav?

I preordered this thing long ago.. typical A9 feel I guess.
 
Deep down I seriously wish they still write songs like 夢幻 -electric eden- 

fucking yes! 1,000,000 times yes. That is, to date, my most overplayed, beloved, non-stop ballad of all time
