psychtiger 87 Posted May 19, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gekiai 231 Posted January 23, 2016 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.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Original Saku 1593 Posted January 23, 2016 Okay were gonna do this!

Midnight Winter 0 Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) 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 5. Jupiter (No Order) 6. NEW SODMY (No Order) 7. Nightmare 8. Matenrou Opera 9. Femme Fatale 10. Sugar ∞. Many more... (No Order) Honoured Mention - Hizaki GRACE Project (Instrumental Visual Kei) - Node of Scherzo (Theatrical Rock Show) - KAMIJO (Solo Project) - Kaya (Solo Project) - RIBBON & ANUBIS (Short Bands of EMIRU) - Schwarz Stein & Közi (Crazy Lyrics) Edited September 4, 2016 by Midnight Winter Interpunction & Style Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magistina Saga 9. 美女♂menZ 10. Rides In Revellion Had to leave out many bands, but this is a 10 list after all. 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. Edited September 15, 2016 by Nekonack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
