Just like the old one. ----- Use this thread to ask for music recommendations. Perhaps this will reduce the redundancy of all the different recommendation threads being created. Feel free to ask for recommendations of any kind. TW's?MH's community here is rather diverse, so I'm sure someone here will cater to it. Since people will probably be asking for recommendations simultaneously, here are a few rules that will hopefully maintain order and keep confusion to a minimum. * DO NOT randomly post a list of bands that are completely unrelated to someone's request. * Refrain from any conversation beyond the topic at hand (in other words, STAY ON TOPIC AND DON'T SPAM). Irrelevant posts will be deleted as seen fit by the staff. * When recommending music to someone, address them by their username or quote their post * If you disagree with someone's recommendation, don't argue about it - recommend something of your own Those rules should be a given, but they're worth the mention. Anyhow, recommend away! Not looking for anything specific? Make sure to check out these cool threads before submitting a request!: PROJECT MIXTAPE: - 1st Edition - 2nd Edition - 3rd Edition NON-VISUAL KEI: - Underground Corner - Indie - Jazz - Metal - "Oldies" - Touhou Music

Hello ^^ This song was performed by Back-On at the Tanabata Matsuri Concert in Sendai (08.08.2018). I tried to search the lyrics on the internet & checked several songs of Back-On but wasn't able to find it and now I'm quite desperate. So I would be glad if anyone could tell me the name of this song. Thank you very much! https://vocaroo.com/i/s1cNAYGmw6QY https://vocaroo.com/i/s00BJVzetWZ3

https://vocaroo.com/i/s1nGttsrlaBI I only know is a Nightingeil one (or I think so). I know, is not like a song, but I can't find the name of it. I checked all of the albums and is impossible for me to find it... Anyone can help me? Thank you!

I know this shouldn't be too much of a problem, although I've seen a small but decent amount of bootlegs and other things like that, I've seen a horribly converted Dir En Grey VHS down the line, and a shoddy looking Malice Mizer Cassette. I know a lot of these are made in Thailand, and other various Asian countries. Although I've heard that some are collectible due to having sometimes rare PVS, or tracks on to physical form? I know people do make rips of things and copy the CDS, although those are easily for private distribution and not for selling on markets to throw a curve-ball and raise prices. Bottom line question is, are these something to worry about, and should we worry about an influx of fakes on the market?

Sorry if something like this already exists. The other week I seeked help in the help section because I needed advice on how to cope with uni work piling up, and I was truly grateful that several reached out to give advice. I'm assuming that there are many here who are in education of some sort, and I think it would be nice if we could have a thread to help support those struggling should they feel this is a place where they feel comfortable reaching out to people. Just a suggestion, I'd love to hear your opinions

Could someone translate lyrics of Schwartz:Mist? (It doesn't matter the song, any of them is ok) If is translated on English, I would be very grateful. But at least, if you share the kanji, I also will be grateful with it. Thanks before hand and please, help me, it's one of my favourites bands and I want to know what they say;; I leave here some songs of them: https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Db0mVjLuHlMM&ved=0ahUKEwiN0bWm1vvZAhXK7RQKHWXTA0sQo7QBCB4wAA&usg=AOvVaw0bAr4pqBsVHgcOnrYWWGaT https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Dtwa0ykArWig&ved=0ahUKEwiN0bWm1vvZAhXK7RQKHWXTA0sQo7QBCCIwAg&usg=AOvVaw0sr_5zR9jgYlvnyeD2oaTH https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DSoD0s1tIhOQ&ved=0ahUKEwiN0bWm1vvZAhXK7RQKHWXTA0sQo7QBCCowBg&usg=AOvVaw31pbbwJtZsuwv7GYE3C-Cw

Does anyone know which of Kyo's poetry books came with CDs/music? Other than the first two "Daisanteikoku Gakudan" and "Furan Shinema Teikoku Gakudan". I know these two: Do you know if any of these came with music?: June 2013 Shikkaku (失格) June 2013 for the human race August 2015 "Gasō no Shi" Jōkan (「我葬の詩」上巻) April 2016 "Gasō no Shi" Gekan (「我葬の詩」下巻) April 2017 Aun no Ari (阿吽の蟻) This is from Kyo's youtube but are these songs only on youtube? Or do they come with some of these poetry books?

Hi! I'm a second-year uni student in England currently working on a cultural presentation for Japanese class, and I'm writing about the popularity of visual kei. I was very interested in VK from around 2009-2013, but my knowledge kind of stops around there. Are there any band members who would be likely to reply to correspondence on any social media? Failing that, is there anyone on the board who lives in Japan and is actively involved with the scene (promotion, booking, or even a long-time fan who attends a lot of shows) I need to contact someone involved in the industry before the 11th, and this is simply to answer a few questions on how they feel about the current state of the industry, how it compares to the past, and what they see in the future of VK. I can communicate in what my teacher calls "intermediate-level Japanese" if needed - I'm not sure what JLPT level it equates to. I'm asking here before I try anywhere native Japanese because I recall people mentioning Japanese vk-related discussion being infamously difficult to read because of all the slang, and general hostility towards foreigners in a lot of cases. It would be hugely helpful. Thanks!

Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me spreading a survey about Visual Kei lyrics to Japanese fans I already posted it in lyric threads on tanuki and on twitter, now on Japanese question&answer sites like goo but it's kinda hard to find Japanese bangya willing to give their opinion price...so I wonder if anyone has any ideas where else I could post my survey so it might reach some more Japanese fans Also it might be very helpful if anyone had a Twitter account with some Japanese bangya following it- in that case I would appreciate if you could maybe share/retweet the following tweet (only if you don't mind of course, I don't want to force anyone to something they don't want to post): Thanks in advance for any kind of help in case of spreading it (I don't need any opinions on the survey itself as this fits my purpose for my paper and I know my Japanese is ofc not perfect yet)

I'm getting an error message that says "You are only allowed to send 0 messages a day, try again later". Is this a glitch, or did I do something to merit that, or...?

Hi guys, any of you has a "mac"? In this site there are some PV of Misaruka, but there are so many advertisements and I fear that it will take some virus ..

Thanks in advance if you help me! ;3

Hi everyone, I'm looking for someone going to GACKT's Last Visualive tour. There's a live-limited CD (I believe 3000 yen) based on the show's set list, but it also includes SE, BGM, etc as well as all the songs. I'd love to get a copy of this but I can't make any of the remaining dates, so if anyone can help out that would be awesome. Comment here or drop me a message if you can help out! GACKTのライブに行く方を探し中。全曲、SEやBGMなども入っている会場限定「LVL SET LIST CD」が欲しいが、残念ながら私がライブに行く機会がない。もし買ってくれる人がいたら、私に連絡お願いします。もちろん払います！

Hello! I need some help to find the name of the band who play this song: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6l4006h7zzgb436/01+unknow+band.mp3 I really liked that song, but I have no idea which band is or the name of music. If someone can help me, i'll be very glad. Even if you do not know, try to show this to some friend(if not bother you of course) to increase the chance. It's my first topic here in Monochrome Heaven, I have hope that I haven't done anything wrong(and sorry my bad english ^^ ). Many thanks in advance!!!

Hey everyone. I've just finished putting together a biography of Madeth Gray'll here. I know this board has a lot of followers of this band, which is why I am posing this question to you: Could you read through this and make sure I have my facts straight? I pulled information for that from a number of sources and some of the dates did not match up. This mostly stems from when they officially joined Matina and when their CDs were no longer self produced. Additionally, I'm questioning some of the romanization of their song titles. For example, "呪ワレシ華ノ生命…" is often romanized as "Noroi wareshi hana no seimei..." However, when I look up the first kanji in a dictionary, "呪" is not read as "noroi" unless it is followed by the character "い." The romanization above is how JaME writes the title, as well as the other instance of "呪" in their album Lucifer, but I'll don't exactly trust them. Additionally, JaME has the title "廃人狂イ人形" romanized as "Haijin kyou ningyou" which I'm sure is incorrect. "狂イ" is supposed to be read as "kurui." Had the "イ" not been there, "kyou" would be (one of) the correct way(s) to read that kanji. Why couldn't they pick less ambiguous names? >: | The reason I'm asking for help here is because I feel having accurate history is very important. Many times, bios get copied and pasted over and over without anyone to really check to see what's correct and what's inaccurate. Over time, the lines become so blurred that it's hard to figure out what's real and what never actually happened. This kind of thing happens all the time, such as when people upload "demo-tapes" that are album versions of a song in a .rar file by themselves, or when last.fm bios are just the names of people that may or may not have even been the last line-up for a band. I'm trying to prevent / correct that with Deadeyes-Star. SO Thank you for reading and let me know if I royally messed something up. Expect another thread like this within two weeks after I write up a bio for 弥叉, which is another band who's history is all over the place.

Is it possible to, as a foreigner, buy music online from sites as Mu-mo, HMV Japan and amazon.co.jp? With this I don't mean mp3s, but actual physical copies.
