Common song/album names in VK

[Pretsy 1343]

I might just go and break the borders by saying that "Spica" has been used a lot in J-music scene. 

 

Also: "Freesia" (Girugämesh, Laputa, Mucc, Penicillin...) and "Pierrot/Piero" (Pierrot, Lycaon, Kameleo... I am not sure if someone mentioned it already). And the word "Kodoku" (loneliness) can be seen in many occasions (vk-wise Dir en grey, Rentrer en Soi, Lost Ash, Panic Channel, Kein...etc.).

 

Not to mention that this "Romance of.../...(of) Romance" - titling is kinda familiar sight to me when it comes to vk though. I might be wrong but you can already imagine some examples, heh.

[nekkichi 6042]

Gackt had a double track/SE called freesia on mars, so it's like 2 more to your list lol.

[hitsuji-hime 211]

Visual kei bands also like to make songs about roses...

 

Lareine, Versailles, Kamijo, and D, is all I can think up on the top of my head ;w;

[kyoselflove 2680]

Gallows - Nightmare, Lynch, 12012, Alice Nine and the GazettE has a song Gabriel on the Gallows.  Think there is more but I can't remember.

Reading this thread makes me realize how much unoriginality there really is in VK lol.

I might just go and break the borders by saying that "Spica" has been used a lot in J-music scene. 

Might just request OP (even if it sounds like a bad idea, idk) to change the topic title from "vk" to "J-rock" (I suppose), seeing as the whole J-music scene in general shares many common titles - a case in point:

 

"Stay Gold" - Buck-Tick, Rentrer en Soi, Utada Hikaru, Spyair, Aqua Timez, EXILE, Steady & Co., ZIGGY, Mari Hamada, Nana Mizuki, Flow, Hi-Standard, V6, Shonan no Kaze

"Solitude" - Lareine, KinKi Kids, Akina Nakamori, Miki Imai, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ringo Shiina (Kodoku no Akatsuki's intl. title) etc.

"Tsumi to Batsu" - Dir en grey, Ringo Shiina, Acid Black Cherry, THE HIGH-LOWS, Shunsuke Kiyokiba etc.

"Kamiuta/Kami-uta" - The Mad Capsule Markets, Kaggra,, Phantasmagoria, Mayumi Morinaga etc. (kanjis vary, but the meaning is pretty much all the same, I guess?)

 

...and I think I will let the others continue my list (sorry for being overenthusiastic!)

just this thread tho?

[hitsuji-hime 211]

And they like to give their songs English titles, which sometimes...doesn't go very well.

[seikun 317]

Anything with "Requiem".

[doombox 4421]

天/Ten/Heaven also come up a lot in my songs.
the GazettE have at least two titles with heaven in them. Buck-Tick also have a couple, Alice Nine, Gackt, Mejibray, NoGoD (also more than one when you search english and kanji versions of the same word), Schwarz Stein, 9Goats Black Out... and I'm sure tons more.

[Flame-X 441]

The word "blue" has been abused a lot in Japanese entertainment in general.

[hitsuji-hime 211]

"Xanadu" (Moi dix Mois, Screw, Asriel),

 

 

Lin - Sacred Xanadu

 

Also the word "black" is used very often too.

[hiroki 5521]

There are countless songs titled "星に願いを" (Hoshi ni negai wo).

 

Some I can rmb offhand are by 176BIZ, Royz, Guild, rice, flumpool, Gackt, Nightmare, Tokyo Shitei, HERO.

 

I guess it's a common title outside vk too though, so no surprises there XD

[Shaolan974 6185]

"L'oiseau bleu"

 

SCREW, Moran, Femme Fatale, D, Misaruka

[doombox 4421]

Endroll / End Roll / エンドロール / ect.

Found quite a few of these in my library, Lament., The 3rd Birthday, Dali, -OZ-, Novelis, Rosario, Nega, HeaRt, Eat You Alive, Jils, LuLu. This one isn't even really just vk, it's jpop and japanese music on the whole use this title a lot.

 

Also 世界の終わり / セカイノオワリ / Sekai no owari / End of the world / Ect.

MUCC, Monolith, Megamasso (のジェリーフィッシュ), Crazy★shampoo, R指定, VanessA, X Japan...

[RinFukurou 46]

The word shangri-la is pretty common. Almost all the bands I listen to have at least one song named that.

[TheStoic 176]

溺れる魚 (Oboreru Sakana) - Dadaroma, Sadie, Mucc, Deadman, Ghost

 

Apparently there is something edgy about talking about a drowning fish.

[PsychoΔelica 648]

I've stumbled across quite a lot of identical song titles. Here are some off the top of my head.

 

Raison D'etre - Dir En Grey, Nightmare, Deadman

Freesia - Girugamesh, MUCC

 

Rakujitsu - 9Goats Black Out, Marusa

Hydrangea - Kaya, Inoran, SID (Ajisai)

[evilcoconut 109]

This has always really amused me lol, and it's not even just VK, there's certain song titles that are just everywhere.

 

Memento Mori - Deathgaze, Buck-Tick, Sugar, Aqua Timez, Mr. Children, ワン★スター, etc.

 

Songs just called "Rain" - Luna Sea, Sid, Glay, Silver Rose, Back-On,  Buck-Tick, etc.

[shizukasou 47]

The first recurrent titles that come to my mind are "Aqua" by 12012 & RENTRER EN SOI and "蜷局" [toguro] by DEG & the GazettE! There may be other songs with this name but I don't know/recall them...

 

Edit: oh right, the number 13! It's my favorite number, how could I forget lol

Albums: 13's reborn - Girugamesh, 13 - SADS

Songs: 13Stairs[-1] - the GazettE, 13 monsters - Pay money To my Pain (even though they're not vk), 13 - D'espairsRay, 13月の夢見丘 - D

[Lestat 2167]

Songs called 'if', or something alike

 

Diaura, Kαin, ClearVeil, DIE IN CRIES, Remage, Syndrome, Hizaki Grace Project, NEGA, etc.

[PsychoΔelica 648]

Recently I see a lot of songs with Fukurou in the title, enough for @hitsuji-hime to write a fanfic
 

Plastic Tree, MUCC, Merry among others.

[IGM_Oficial 1964]

The "mugen" thing ("夢幻", "夢限", "無幻", "無限"; the first and the second ones being the most and the less common, respectively).

 

These are the songs of bands I like I can remember now:

 

· "夢幻 鳳影" ("Mugen houyou"), by Kiryu,

· "夢幻 ~electric Eden~" ("Mugen ~electric Eden~") and "無限 の 花" ("Mugen no hana"), by A9.

 

Doing a little search, found these:

 

· "「夢」 ~ムゲン ノ カナタ~" ("'Yume' ~mugen no kanata~), by ViViD, this one written in katakana,

· "∞ ループ" ("Mugen loop"), by heidi., this one using the infinity symbol,

· "夢幻" ("Mugen"), by Buck-tick,

· "夢幻 泡影" ("Mugen houyou"), by Onmyouza and Vivalet,

· "夢幻 回帰 ("Mugen kaiki"), by Devil kitty,

· "無限 ループ ("Mugen loop") (another one), by Chanty,

· "無限" ("Mugen"), by Akai sky (not visual kei nor japanese, lel).
