Biopanda 2675 Posted January 23, 2014 Perfect strategy. Wait for a band from the same city as you to disband, then take their name. BAM instant fans. Maybe they can trick people in by announcing one of their lives as a "secret one day revival" and see how many UCP fans show up. 5 doombox, appl-, -timecapsule- and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diva-rin 202 Posted January 23, 2014 but they're using the kanji 凜, kisaki's former band used 凛... it's still a difference XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyasagi 259 Posted January 23, 2014 Woah, but the difference is barely noticeable. I had to copypaste it into word pad and change the font size to 72 to see it xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seikun 317 Posted January 24, 2014 Fans are guilty for not condenming this kind of acts from bands... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Champ213 1858 Posted January 24, 2014 Different kanji aside, wasn't Kisaki's band technically called "凛 -the end of corruption world-" anyway? Last.fm listeners will be fine either way. XD Anyway, vk bands picking names that have been used by other vk bands before happens all the time... I can think of a bunch of examples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted January 24, 2014 Lagna, Arlequin, Laybial (seriously, there's like 4 different bands with this name???), and Garden are some that come to mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nekkichi 6042 Posted November 30, 2014 they're pulling a dir en grey with a kagrra,'s 凜 song, not ripping kisaki's ~end of inexplicable scene presence~ band name that cover art literally looks like a kagrra, homage 1 hitsuji-hime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lestat 2167 Posted November 30, 2014 Waiting for Kisaki's hell to break loose on a patent on the bandname, regardless of spelling, pronunciation or kanji-usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
