In order (i guess)..

 

1. vistlip
2. Purple Stone
3. アンフィル
4. BLESSCODE
5. Anli Pollicino
6. FoLLoW
7. Blu-BiLLioN
8. Neverland

[colorful人生 2777]

Totally addicted to DOWNER at the moment... I play "セットリスト" on roadtrips. 

Unfortunately, I've lost interest in Blu-BiLLioN and xTRiPx recently D: .

I wasn't crazy about I.rias at the beginning since I thought they were all over the place melodically w/in their songs, but they've gotten better.

 

1. ダウナー | DOWNER

2. Royz

3. ユナイト

4. DIV

5. アンフィル

6. the Raid.

7. Clavier

8. Neverland

9. I.rias

10. vistlip

[Pretsy 1343]

Out of current (new), not-oyaji and DEFINED VK acts (e.g. no MUCC, anything Morrie etc.)

 

1) Carrygarry (post-revival aka Janai, 1,2-era etc)

2) Sibilebashir

3) DIAURA

4) Sibilebashir

5) Chanty

6) DEZERT

7) Blu-Billion

8. Xaa-Xaa

9) Kiryu

10) BugLug

 

So yeah, vk acts with actually fresh ideas or stuff that could actually nostalgize in a good way satisfy me. Also: Indie rock kei should happen ASAP - just Chanty ain't enough!

[CCXXVIII 30]

1. xaa-xaa

2. MEJIBRAY

3. DIAURA

4. DADAROMA

5. NCBL

[Komorebi 2193]

Just thought of a bunch of bands and realized half of them are disbanded already or aren't really visual kei so... here's what I follow if it's active and what I keep listening to even if some are long gone.

Active bands: 
1) D

2) Matenrou Opera

3) VRZEL

4) Gotcharoka

5) Diaura

6) Morrigan

7) Jiluka

8 ) Hollowgram/Keel

9) Holyclock

10) Exist Trace

Disbanded or in eternal hiatus:

1) As'REAL
2) Kagrra

3) Malisend

4) D'espairsRay

5) 9Goats Black Out

6) Syndrome

7) Janne Da Arc

8 ) Laputa

 

There's stuff like Luna Sea, Acid Black Cherry and Vamps that I can't really count as VK so... I would have another top ten of non-vk rock bands that I follow XD

Top 10 visual and still active... that is hard. lol Let's see. Some of the bands may be questionable as far as being vk or not but if they're "fringe" vk I'm gonna still count them.

 

1. MUCC

2. BUCK-TICK 

3. DIV

4. ギルガメッシュ

5. NoGoD

6. DADAROMA

7. ザアザア

8. Develop One's Faculties
