Wow huge lack of original fan favorite's.

I love Buck-Tick and I was curious what everyone's favorite album was? I'm a fan of full length album's so which full length is your personal favorite??

I am a vocalist and lyricist who has put eleven year's of practice and work into singing, screaming, rapping, Enka, operatic and anything I found interesting enough to learn and put time into. I am very serious about my voice and I promise you that none of these styles are just average, I put years into each of these to sing as well and as top notch as I can. I have a really good range that took year's to get down but I finally have been able to hit beautiful falsetto note's, I have a deep voice so it was naturally hard for me to hit different notes but I have made it so I can hit note''s I wouldn't have ever been able to hit originally. I have wanted to be a front man and Vocalist all of my life, it has always been my goal and where I live there is no music scene and even if there was they wouldn't accept the style's I love. Speaking of which, when it comes to what music I want to make it could be anything really, I love Jazz mixed with rock, I want to push genre's as far as we can, I love interesting and playful guitar, strong bass work and playful drumming. I want to make music that is always growing and always keeping us from being shoved into a genre, or compared to other band's. I want to show people that you can use influence from Japanese, Western and Korean music or even Indian influences and still make great song's! I'm Irish, Russian and American Indian, I have always love'd the sound's of traditional Japanese, Irish, Indian and East Indian music and have always tried to find a way to incorporate those sound's into my singing, I even learned how to chant like monks and various other types of spiritual sounds. Anyone who is willing to help me or play music with me, please message me, I need a guitarist or two, a bassist and a drummer. Contact me if you want to do this and thank you for reading this!

I love Jazz and I have a couple good Japanese Jazz act's, I really like Jikkendai Marmot, I love visual kei too so I was curious if anyone knew of a Visual Kei Jazz band. Any help is amazing so thank you!

My opinion on this is something that I hope might help people think differently than just "Everyone hate's Yohio because he's this or that" There is a difference between taking someone else's work and creating a song or piece of music that is inspired by said artist and re purposing someone else's creation and using it to show your talent, if you truly create something by re purposing someone else's work and show YOUR talent and abilities then it's okay and people can respect that, they can understand that you are an artist who was just inspired by someone else. Yohio doesn't ever seem to do this though, he is the other half which is using someone else's style or using a style that is well known and thought of as a certain group, sure The Gazette did NOT create that style but they have OWNED it, when I hear a song that has a certain sound to it I will say "Oh that sound's like this band or that band" If a band owns a style and the said sound becomes associated by them then that's how it is and Yohio know's that. He know's that everyone think's this sound's like a copy. If the talent doesn't show through and the amount of work doesn't shine through then can you really blame people for not enjoying nor respecting the artist? I love Visual Kei, I love Japanese music in general and I would never dislike an artist because of his or her skin color and nationality, I myself am a White guy from America who love's singing and is moving to Japan to become a musician there, so it wouldn't make sense to judge Yohio based on his skin color, it's his lack of creativity and work he put's into these song's that make me dis like him. He didn't have to work hard at all compared to the amount of work an average person put's into something they love. I don't dis like him because of anything other than his work he has done and credit he has taken. That's all and I hope my opinion help's shed some light on something for someone! Also let's not bully each other, just support each other!

Just curious if anyone live's near me, I'm a vocalist so maybe someone could play music together with me, or just make friend's so if anyone live's in the area it would be nice to get to know you! Just message me!

I just found this band and really love them, I can't find this album and I figure it might help with finding the album if I knew what this translated to. I made a request for this album but so far no one has said anything so any help at all would be amazing! Thank you!

I just got into them and was wondering what other's liked by them, opinions? Thank you!

I thought Beautiful Deformity was pretty damn good actually, I didn't love TOXIC or Division too much but Beautiful Deformity was pretty solid. I think the new song sound's good, what exactly does everyone want from them? All I read is is "Oh this song is terrible" "This album was awful" no one ever explain's what it is they actually want from The Gazette, I'm a fan of the band not a crazy fan but I enjoy their music, they don't ever seem to make a "Horrible album" from what I can tell, all they did was release an album that is different from their old style so everyone states how much they hate this album but never explains why. They have been a band for such a long time, you can't possibly get upset that they aren't making song's that sound like their album's and mini's from 9 to 10 year's ago. Someone give me a good reason with an actual point as to how this song is "terrible". Band's grow, you have to accept that and stop complaining, at least give some helpful criticism instead of pointless comment's.

I know this album came out a while ago but anyone care to share some thought's on the album?

Thank you!

I'm very interested in this band so any help is very appreciated, thank you!

I understand people being upset with a band they enjoyed changing and playing different music compared to before but jeez at least respect that they lasted ten year's already, their ballads are pretty damn good, not "gawd awful". Sometimes fan's can just be plain jerk's, just at least give them the respect they deserve for ten year's of making music without completely calling them trash. Let's be a good community not one that other people can reference as a "At least we're not as bad as those people on Monochrome Heaven". Have an opinion please, but don't just be an absolute waste of time to anyone who genuinely want's to know about this album. Sorry for the rant and congratulations Sadie on surviving ten year's in the music industry!

Hmm well I love Vistlip so I agree that people should really give them more credit, Tomo has such a beautiful voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=widKdOOc0ow Liphlich is absolutely hand's down amazing, they are soo creative and have such amazing musician's that they deserve more than what they get. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8bQx0X_25U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuSiYv4G2hk I don't know if it's underated per say but I think anything by UNiTE is amazing and that their album Meaning was absolutely amazing. Administrator was another really great visual kei band that didn't release much but they did release an album called "Cross" and I thought it was astounding, I would recommend that album to anyone, Administrator was actually the lead singer of Chanty's old band and the bassist of Chemical Picture's to name some well known band's, they are great. A band called Carpe Diem released an album a while ago that was titled, "Carpe Diem" and it is really really good and worth the listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6c-0wrLbQc Jackman released an album titled "Giga" and it was really great, so were their single's. A(ACE) was an amazing band that didn't get much credit but I thought their releases were brilliant so I would recommend everything by them, mostly the "Black And White" album then the "Shiroi Akum (Phantom Of The Snow)" single, absolutely amazing band. Jikkendai Marmot is a group that make's some really good song's they are very jazzy and that's what got me into them so give them a try. Kra is so good, I don't know if they are under rated but they have been around a long time and they don't seem to get a lot of credit but they are so worth the listen trust me. M:a.ture is another group that has been around a long time but I don't read much about them, they have really solid releases and great musician's, their newest album "End Roll" is pretty fantastic and their other album's are definitely worth the listen, if you don't want to listen to three album's they have a best of album titled "Kaleidoscope" it doesn't cover the newest album "End Roll" but it get's the rest of their releases and it's very good too, though I would personally say "End Roll" is their best release. ROOKIZ is PUNK'D is a really good rock band, their album "From Dusk Till Dawn" is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi6XbBm0j04 Srash Note's Garden is an Indie three piece that is coming out with their first full length album soon, their mini album's are really creative though so give them a try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-pBkI1TdPk Amazarashi is a three piece alternative group with three support member's, they write some beautiful song's with amazing meaning's, they released a song called "Digging Hole's" the music video to the song was filmed in the suicide forest located in Aokigahara, the video is thirty printer's set up throughout various trees and other places printing out about 200,000 tweet's of people expressing their wish to die, I don't know the translation to the song but it is hauntingly beautiful and if you are like me the song will touch you deeply, at least watch the PV if you want to see and hear something so gorgeous and meaningful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnYF93ckZAA VSK is a strange group, they are apparently a group of well known musician's but I couldn't find out who they were, they do cover's of AKB48 song's and they are pretty cool, their album "God Song's" is fun so try them out! Yeti is a band that was created by the Ex vocalist of Aicle and the guitaris from .EXE, the bassist of SERIAL NUMBER and drummer from Irokui, they are really good, they are indie in a way that resembles Radwimps, they have some very good mini album's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnYF93ckZAA Yazzmad is a four piece visual kei band that is up and coming, they are very talented and are very creative, they released an album titled "Picturesque" give it a try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSYRDUWmFgE Artemis is a five piece visual kei band that seems to barely exist at all but they are very good, they released an album titled "Connect" in my opinion it is really good give it a try! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCzRdgWF0fY Sorry for this being so long but I hope someone get's some use from this! Thank you!

I just want opinion's on which album you as an individual like, just please give some helpful suggestion's. I like Sadie but want to hear what other's liked by them, personally I love Master Of Romance but I think that is the most common opinion anyway. Any suggestion's? Thank you!

Haha yay! You have beautiful stripes! I love the cat at the computer haha thank you for the picture!!!!!!

An Cafe is great and Miku has an amazing voice, a lot of people seem to dislike them but for me they were the beginning of everything so that's my opinion! I hate most dub step! Forgive me for I have sinned now how many hail mary's must I say? I hated Lycaon at first then they grew onto me, I used to hate all high pitched nasaly voices but I was a lot younger and more judgmental for zero reason, I have grown out of that though, I do think Lycaon was over rated though, I like them a lot but I don't think they are absolutely stunning nor were they ever, I think they wrote good music and could make some really great song's but nothing that I will remember ten year's from now. I don't think Cat5 is actually a cat, THERE I SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO ZEUS ISN'T REALLY THE GOD ZEUS!!!!!!!!!!! I hate fighting and I think that a lot of Visual Kei fan's are very protective of their music which lead's to a feeling of better than other artist's which then lead's to argument's about how an American band doesn't even make music compared to "Insert and name here" it's the same with kpop fan's saying that their Korean rapper is better because "Obviously all American rappers talk about is sex and drug's and degrading women" I hate that about our fanbase. I would like to rise above that, also I don't like the way people make someone into an Idol, at the end of the day everyone in these band's are the same as us, they eat then maybe go on their phone or computer and write or listen to music or go on Youtube, let's not make them into someone better than us when we are all the same. So these are some of my opinion's, I'm not asking anyone to follow my mind set I just am saying my opinion on some thing's I wish were true. Like CAT5 being a cat, oh how I wish there was a cat behind that computer. Oh and forgive my bad punctuation please haha thank you! Final thing, I want us fan's to all be a community or a family and understand each other and give each one of us a friend a person who love's the same thing's we love, let's not fight, let's all help each other! Thank you!

In your opinions which first album was bettwr to you personally? I'm not saying to attack either band but just your thoughts on the albums without a full review.

I like harder stuff but I just kinda like to start with the softer song's then get deeper into the band.

What would be an album by them to get started on? Preferably one with more singing than screaming and interesting guitar work, I'll get into the heavier stuff later. So any help?

Thank you all for the answer's, I love when people talk about something they are so passionate about! I'll try out some of their stuff and give feedback!

Just curious why people are so devoted and what they would recommend to me so I could hear what made NEGA so great and what make's The Black Swan good. I personally like pretty singing more than screaming and that's why I always will love Vistlip over some of the "Hard-Core Visual Kei" groups. What separated NEGA from that group? Also at the same time I do enjoy harder more abrasive music but I do like it when the vocalist can also sing beautifully, so any explanation would be great and any suggestions to listen to. I prefer full length album's also, thank's!

I was just curious what everyone who was a fan of Vidoll think's was their best album, thank you!

haha *desert bro fistbump*

@Biopanda I live in Las Cruces New Mexico and I can guarentee you that five fan's live in my house haha, your not the only fan here!
