Damn, this list was depressing to make. All of them have been my number 1 (or well.. number 2) at some point.

 

All time favorites

1. そろばん

2. ZORO

3. 人格ラヂオ

4. シド

5. CELLT

6. 176BIZ

8. Dir en grey

9. メロウ

10. ドレミ團

 

Honorable mentions: ラッド, 犬神サーカス団, GLACIER, オーダーメイド, メガマソ, HeaRt, シビレバシル, ゴールデンボンバー, ValettA, so many moohrr.

 

Narrowing it down to just 10 was more difficult than I expected. I got into visual kei a decade ago, so most of these bands have disbanded by now. If I were to make a list of bands I listen to most often now it would be like... AvelCain, DADAROMA, MEJIBRAY, カメレオ, NoGoD, the GazettE, ect.

1. Vidoll (I really think no other band has touched me like they did.)

2. GOTCHAROCKA (Simply bc the fact that my favorite vocalist ever (Jui) is doing the vocals, and their music makes me genuinely feel better).

3. UNiTE (Same with them, their music is great, and unique, they never bore me.)

4. Arlequin (Though I was not too impressed by Qualia (the song itself, it should have not been the title track), they're a great band)

5. Pentagon (Don't really care much for Minpha but the music is really all that matters. I love Chizuru's voice too).

6. Avelcain (I didn't even like dark music so much...until I listened to them. Simply amazing. I hope they get more attention now.)

7. BLESSCODE (I really love their style and Masaya's vocals are getting better and better.)

8. MALISEND (They're just starting out but they have really surprised me. I can't wait for their mini-album next month).

9. The GazettE (I mean, though some of their songs of the past years didn't impress me, they've crawled back into my top 10.)

10. DADAROMA (Yoshiatsu's voice isn't too impressive to me and their fans are annoying, but they come out with good music.)

Okay were gonna do this!

 

In no particular order because that would take way too long to sort out xD

 

  • Despair's Ray
  • KYOKUTOU GIRL FRIEND
  • deadman
  • Dir en grey
  • MUCC
  • Rentrer en Soi
  • 9GOATS BLACK OUT
  • Plastic Tree
  • D
  • 12012

 

there we go. pretty much a ton of bands that are either long gone or a shell of their former self XD Although Plastic Tree is still kicking ass and so is DEG but those aren't really considered VK anymore :lol: probably missing a few though.

One day you hear the sound, whispering; maybe not. It was more the coincidence of the world web.

But what I have learned is, that sometimes you have just to get that catchy song(s) from the band ; whereby other songs from the band are not reaching your/my heart.

 

(No Order)

1. Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet-

2. LAREINE

 

(No Order)

3. Moi dix Mois

4. MALICE MIZER

No particular order... except for Paradeis they are always number one!
Yeah my taste in music flys against popular opinion here I'm sure, and it will no dought drive my zero rating into the negatives. That's fine though, someone out there won't laugh. Point and snicker maybe, but not laugh. :)
