... My guilty pleasure are old An Cafe songs lol

[RevengeBabyYeah 1]

1) Dir en grey. So much thought and care in every album, I feel like they’ve reached perfection and keep reaching beyond that. They are undeniably iconic in the past, present and future of VK.

 

2)Kagrra,. Beautiful compositions, meanings, vocals, instruments, outfits, PVs, melodies. Everything about this band was just beautiful. Very much missed.

 

3) deadman. 

4) Malice Mizer

5)Due Le Quartz

6)La’cryma Christi

7)UnsraW

8)Fatima

9)9goats blackout

Edited February 23, 2020 by hopefully_benign

[Rahzel 110]

1. Nightmare

2. Shounenki (I kinda like AmaBo but SHOUNENKI ......) 

(abyss, and after that everything is in no particular order probably just whatever I thought of as something I listen to semi/regularly)

3. Gravity

4. Neverland

5. Moran

6. ACME(/DIV)
7. Gigamous

8. HOLYCLOCK   

9. Kiryu

10. Leetspeak Monsters 

 

Honorable mention to kannivalism/baroque, ViViD and SCREW all of which I have never heard enough since back in the old days but what I have I either like or didn't actively dislike and should listen to more often. If I did, they'd probably replace the last 3 places. Also honorable mention to oldies Miyavi and Abingdon Boys School which I have seen mentioned itt and were my jams in my teenage years along with Ancafe or A9 etc. Actually, honorable mention to every non-vk jrock band standing in that abyss lol

4. Dimlim

5. Dir En Grey

6. Doku/Gore

7. Insanity Injection

8. llll-Ligro-
