As a singer I would say its the opposite? Higher notes are much harder to accurately produce and maintain accuracy with than low or mid voice.Most singers over time lose their high voice, nor their low voice.

Whats your favorite breakdowns?
 
Mine happen to be from Lycaon
http://youtu.be/PLUWdFlezIo starts around 1:21 with a awesome high pitch squeal
 
http://youtu.be/wMvepFRPYlQ and their latest breakdown, 2 parts starts at 1:59 first hard guitar rebing followed by a back and forth beat with electronic synth sound picks up with double bass with yuuki whispering.

I read the whole post. Good stuff.
I also love DOG in the PWO, Aoi from Ayabie, and many other of your favorites.
Would love to see pics of your CD collection, sounds sick. I have almost 1000 now myself.
Looking forward to your posts, you seem really positive.

Suits and ties, almost every VK band has done this by now. If you were that upset about copying, just listen to Tokage. I mean, I like them, but seriously? After something as obvious as Tokage you put them into the copycat chair because they are wearing suits? In comparision, this is a very minor offense. Everybody's friend wears that sooner or later. You don't have to dig through VK to affirm this, it's everywhere, and shit happens. Their songs themselves are much more prone to that kind of criticism. Yet, still most people like them, because they bring a bit of the late 90's back, and that's okay. Now, really, wearing suits with ties should be a non-issue.

Excellent

Sounds great, as per usual!!

Awesome!! I freaking love it! *__* They never disappoint me. I can't wait to hear the full song and also the other single!

I know I will regret it

goodbye.

Hello.
I`m from Germany and a great fan of Visual-Kei music and Japan in general.
I lurk around on MH for i think two years now, informing myself about new relesases and things like that, but only as a guest or ghost. In this two years i was really impressed by the great atmosphere in this forum and so: Here I am!
I`m glad to meet all of you and i think that it will be a great time in this forum^^
So here are my favourite bands:
 
Alice Nine
vistlip
DELUHI
GALEYD
 
So lets go;)  Hope to see you all in the forum^^

ohh this sounds really freaking interesting. nice to see all the members have contributed with a song as well.

a whole album of moran ballads...
 
is this real life i'm so happy 

Which part do you care about more, or end up leaning toward? Do both parts have to be good for you to listen to the band?
 
Me personal, I'll go with vocalist because i don't really listen to music with out vocals. Also i can get attached to them, for example if a band disbands i want the vocalist to come back to music the most, and not so much the other members even if they were wonderful too.
 
but then again the instrumental is what you moving to, hmmm what do you guys/gals think?

damn god this music is so gooooooooooooooooooood!! 

Holy shit, I am sorta digging this (well to be honest, SuG has been one of my guilty pleasures for a while) - their artistic direction here looks quite decent too.
 
What's that Fam Entertainment anyway? I seem to stumble upon some ghetto label with the same name all the time so I really hope someone would enlighten me about this.

always loved their visuals and the full song is great too

i don't know how frequently you listen to music on headphones, but if it's more than just once/twice a week do not underestimate the significance of quality earplugs!!!
i never understood how apple could create an mp3-player with fairly decent soundquality (the ipod) and then ruin all the efforts of the sound-department
with sort of the worst headphones this universe ever crapped out, that is simply beyond my comprehension.
seriously, i once bought earplugs in the supermarket for 5 bucks, with flashy words like "ultra-bass" and "power-whatever",
usually quality indicators for sub-garbage-quality, and even those sounded better than those ipod-noise-vomiters.
i for myself was pretty lucky, as i started with sound-engineering/producing etc..
i looked for mainly studio-headphones, which would also occasionally work on an ipod and in public aswell
and ended up buying those on ebay for 80 bucks (new would be around 200), just because someone recommended them to me.

Grado Labs Prestige Series SR80
so i didn't originally buy them for the everyday and everytime musiclistening but mainly for work.
that was five years ago now and in the end i would say i spend 30% of the time of the day with those on,
simply because listening to music is so much fun in high quality, i'd never have expected to listen to so much music before.
of course one doesn't have to spend that much on headphones, but don't just go with "those look cool" and/or "knowing myself i'll brake them in two weeks time",
quality sound can really open new worlds for the intelligent and good looking music-enthusiast ^^
you can already get some good earplugs somewhere in the 20-40 bucks pricerange, the problem is to identify quality products.
so this is what one can do.
take your ipod with some of your favorite albums to the sound-shop of choice (the bigger the selection of headphones, the better)
then listen to some of your favorite tracks on the most expensive headphones they have there.
after that grab all the headphones of your pricerange of choice and compare, which one comes closest to that ridicculously pricy headphone of before.
key trick is to pay close attention to the bass-frequencys, because that's where the most bogus happens.
i don't know what kind of music you listen to, but assuming it's somewhere in the heavy-rock-genre focus on the bass drum.
if you happen to put on a headphone where you think "jolly unicorn-testicles, now that is a lot of bass!!!" put them down and immediately cross them of your list
this is usually a gain-raise in the somewhere not-so-bassy-frequencys to distract from the actual lack of real low-frequencys.
assuming the mix of your song of choice is top notch, the most prominent sign of quality is to actually still hear the kick-drum in the really loud parts
not just the stereotypical metal 4khz 'klacklack', but in some bass-range that if heard live or over huge speakers would punch you in the stomach.
aah crap, look at that shit, i wrote a fuckin 2000-pages epic again, meh...
tl;dr:
1. compare headphones of your preferred pricerange to the most ridicculously expensive you can find and pick the one that comes closest
2. do NOT EVER underestimate the power and joy, that comes from quality sound and headphones!!!
particularly if you're pretty much constantly on the move = constantly listening to something on your headphones
EDIT: and don't pay any attention to the frequency-scale that supposedly is provided by the headphones, those numbers are the bullcrappiest bullcrap any bull has ever crapped...

So I've decided to put some of my cartoons here.
Any feedback is appreciated! I'm just starting out so I'm still figuring out how to use things.
