Best VK/Jrock Album Art

[orangetarts 249]

Kind of going off of Sai's tackiest post....

which album art do you like a lot?

 

 

sad day, I couldnt find one bigger...but Otogadead's Asterisk

 

I'm not really a fan of AILE but their album covers are always really cute

 

 

those are just a couple I could think of...

thoughts?

I'm not exactly a huge fan of the GazettE, but I like the cover art for"TRACES BEST OF 2005-2009"

 

 

Just thought it's classy, beautiful yet haunting at the same time.

 

Have a few others I like but can't remember offhand..

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

I think we already have a thread for this.

[rebelstrik 111]

love the look of mucc older releases

 

[keyinjpop 89]

Sorry for the lousy quality. The cover looks hand-drawn, kind of like something you'd see in a manga.

[hiroki 5521]

^ WOW I really like that cover...

[keyinjpop 89]

Plastic Tree's Ink covers.

The other two are good too but I'll just post one cover. This is a lovely Rorscach test. Also, I see a bouquet of flowers .

Always loved this one:

 

 

And this one

 

[Tokage 5930]

I've always really liked Merry's Peep Show album cover

Also most things drawn by Suehiro Maruo or Full

[digi 192]

all covers by sanpun can go in here too

they fit in both, the tacky cover art thread, and this one

 

Also id have to agree with Tokage, on the Suehiro Maruo part.

I think theres one by this band called Funeral Party? Im not sure if they're vkei though, but they have an album, with one of Maruo's drawings.

Posting these without commentaries because I felt like they were very expressive about album's content

 

 

Kuroyume - Mayoeru Yuritachi ~Romance of Scarlet~

Merry - Under-world

Buck-Tick - 13kai wa Gekkou

 

also: Luna Sea's Image, Eden, Mother (conveying the same-ish theme)

Gazette's Stacked Rubbish era singles (Rorschach theme has been done better before)

[The Bread Wolf 231]

I pretty much love every cover art by VIDOLL up until the point when they started using the band's promo pics for the covers. But my favorite by far is BASTARD.

 

 

Also I adored Kameleo's album's cover art, both limited and regular edition, but posting a pic would be pointless, because the awesomeness of the covers doesn't rely on the art, but rather the style of the covers. The limited edition is a small, metallic box rather than a CD case and the regular edition cover is a hologram.

SID's Uso

Nice gradient background contrasts nicely with the white artwork.

[seikun 317]

It is all a matter of personal taste. I like this one.

 

[orangetarts 249]

Deluhi's Vandalism~ so nice imo.

 

 

12012's shudder, because I like gore. lol. this is also pretty tacky too when you look at it.

[orangetarts 249]

SID's Uso

Nice gradient background contrasts nicely with the white artwork.

wow this is really nice.

i love simple, clean things like this.

[digi 192]

I also happen to think this cover by Baroque is quite pretty, and can go in this thread 

[Umi_Niwa 31]

I really like the 9Goats Black Out album covers, they're always pretty to look at and catching the eye Ryo has a great sense of aesthetics.









I also like most of MUCC's cover art

 

[seikun 317]

Aliene Ma'riage

Le Soiree

 

 

[digi 192]

Aliene Ma'riage

Le Soiree

 

 

This. Because Kyouka makes album covers look great ; v ;

[Haruto 60]

Some of my favorites have already been mentioned. I strongly agree with DELUHI and 9GBO. They're amazing.

Also, these here~

 

 

CATFIST's ANOTHER BUTTERFLY, probably my most favorite CD cover art ever, because just I love his tattoos. The editing isn't that special but I love the motive.

 

And 

 

 

from D.I.D. This is really stylish in my opinion.

I love D.I.D. for their album art, also liked Providentia a lot.

 

Oh and:

I might have a thing for animals...

[bonsaijodelfisch 328]

i always verymuch enjoyed this one by MUCC

the lack of bandname and albumtitle make it sortof special, and this whole minimalistic pencil on white theme goes through the whole booklet+cd+case

[orangetarts 249]

SID - dead stock

 

Janne De Arc - Rainy

 

 

Never Crazy - 恋哀方程式

[ronluna 17]

the best JRock cover arts in my opinion:

ANTHEM - EVIL ONE (single)

 

SABER TIGER - PARAGRAPH IV (compilation album)

 

DEAD END - 夢鬼歌 Yume Oni Uta (single)

[Augie1995 325]

Alice Nine- BLUE FLAME (Blue being my favorite color and the flames look really awesome)

 

GALEYD- Destiny (Out of all the 3 singles, this one was my fav cover art, really cool image)

 

Daizystripper- HUMALOID (there's a lot of craziness going on in this image, randomness to be more like it but it's appealing to my eyes)

 

Kra- Joker Kingdom (Very simplistic drawing, really love it and the creature that has been drawn with the mountain on it)

 

UVERworld- THE ONE (both versions are awesome, flame UVER logo, and Takuya holding a flame)

 

D- Namonaki mori no yumegatari (love the opposites with the deer, cool artistic scenery)

 

UNiTE- Yakusoku (lot of randomness and empty space but it's still very cool)

 

D- Torikago Goten -L'Oiseau bleu- (Looks like a tarot card and it has a very cool carnival font look)
