All right, well now that I have my hands on the album I can officially give my opinion on it. Naya I am really tired so I might not finish this but so far it sounds pretty good the intro song is absolutely spectacular, there's so much energy going on and the guitar rocks. I've already heard Drain from the previewd and the full PV but that's still a really awesome song. Voltage is something new, it's really pop metal song if I can say that but the breakdown is the most interesting thing becausE I have Yet to hear something like that. Incomplete and Zantetsuken are the usual good new girugamesh tracks. Antlion pit is a catastrophic beast! Sato she does really good here and he does some sick low growls. I gotta say that Nii is just ruling this album. So far this album is shaping up to be their best one yet. This new sound that they've embraced is doing them good and I hope that they continue on with this sound. Edit: All right, so I've almost thoroughly listened to the album and the only song that isn't really hitting me is "Live is Life" and the new Zecchou BANG. I feel the production on the new one is nicer but the instruments sound dull, especially the guitar. The guitar in this song contrasts so much with how the guitar has been throughout the whole album, strong and very "in your face" Other than that, the album is pretty much a strong one and I love it to death Pros: Intro, Drain, Voltage, Resolution, Alone Con: Live is Life, Zecchou BANG

Let's do a poll for MEJIBRAY's best MV of 2013! Because decadance was their last release for this year, I'm kinda curious about everyone's opinions! Which MEJIBRAY music video is the best of 2013? Make your choice! If possible please write why you have choosen for that MV. アヴァロン (Avalon) DIE KUSSE メサイア (Messiah) アプリオリ (A Priori) 醜詠 (Shuuei) DECADANCE - Counting Goats ... if I can't be yours - *click* My own opinion: I actually liked the MV Avalon the most. I really liked the effects in the music video and the colour contrast they used. I felt everyone of MEJIBRAY had a good and clear screentime. On a second place, I'd put Decadance MV because the song itselfs is totally amazing. At the end seeing Meto and Tsuzuku dancing *lol* was a precious moment to see.

After well over a year's worth of work, I'd like to present to you all: RarezHut! This is one of the first international store for used visual kei music. Myself, along with my two associates, have been working hard to deliver a store to meet the needs of the international visual kei community, offering a wide selection of products at a reasonable cost. At the moment, RarezHut has over 600 items for sale, each of which includes a listenable/watchable sample! We've got a total inventory of well over 2000 items and will be working hard over the coming months to deliver updates(at least once a month) with as many items as we can stuff in there. Currently available are a multitude of CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes and VHS spanning over 200 bands. Features of the store include: "Fuzzy search" system: when you search for a band, it'll pull up any other items available by bands with members from the band you searched for in addition. Listenable/watchable samples for every item to give you a little idea of what to look forward to. Newsletter: If you create an account, you can opt-in for our newsletter which details all of the recent additions and will be sent out the moment they're added to the site, allowing you to get first dibs on any new goodies! Remember: once they're gone, they're gone for good~ Digital copies: along with any cassette/VHS purchases, we offer high-quality digital copies free-of-charge. We realize that not everyone has the means to play these aging formats, but we aim not to let that get in the way of you being able to enjoy them! In an effort to make sure that buying goes smoothly, all items added will have the digital copies ready before addition so that packages can be shipped out on the next business day. Thanks for taking the time to look at this and we sincerely hope you enjoy the store(and whatever goodies you buy from it )! Given the small nature of the visual kei community, we rely on word-of-mouth for most of our advertising, so any friends you can tell about the store will help us immensely <3 If you've got any questions/comments/feedback, feel free to post them here or send me a PM and I'll try to reply ASAP~ Update 3/13/2015 So we've finally joined the 21st century and started a facebook and tumblr!

VANIRU is a new Japanese Visual Kei band with a dramatical Electro/Goth Rock sound who is led by their front man, Leoneil and guitarist Yuto. Although just being formed in May 2013, VANIRU is the first rock band to be sponsored by MAC Cosmetics and has been highly sought after by leading and famous artists. Furthermore Vaniru is also managed by Baldre Company Limited, who has managed various legendary Jrock icons. VANIRU's name comes from the north mythological gods called Vanir. Gods associated with fertility, also known as Freja, associated with fertility, love, masic....Incubus, being considered as one of the most beautiful among all gods. LEONEIL: It is the provocative. From gods to demons, our vision a seamless world. It could be a place on the world, but it is no longer of this world…Those who can connect to this chaos, our world, let themselves seduced, which is also depicted in their logo. VANIRU has already been touring and was in Europe recently beside Gothika and Adams and is gaining popularity rather rapidly. They already have over 18,000 fans on their official Facebook page, no doubt because their music is of great quality, fresh and new to the Goth/Visual Kei scene which has been recognized in several media entities worldwide to gain them much exposure. VANIRU as new of a band as they are, have already had their first international digital releases starting in July of this year on iTunes, and Amazon titled "Cosmic Night" taken from "Masquerade of Cosmic" , followed by "High Fantasy" and "ZAKURO". Today the duo released a new full length video for song "ZAKURO" on their Youtube Channel. http://www.jpopasia.com/news/introducing-new-japanese-electro-gothic-rock-visual-kei-duo-vaniru::14688.html
