Pretsy 1343 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) As with my earlier outputs, I thought it would be neat to discuss about "interesting" chord progressions in our beloved, visual scene as well! What kind of intriguing progressions (from your POV) you guys have stumbled onto while going through your VK repertoire? As long as you are able to explain your choices, it's all OK...not that this thread would gain enough exposure, lol (I am not gonna hop into another round of "what is VK music" debate and just pinpoint that even in 00s and earlier 10s it was easy to acknowledge imho what's "so VK" and what's "not so VK" in the auditory context.) Prime example or where to start: "Royal road" progression (IV△7→V7→IIIm7→VIm) VK example of this: as far as I have noticed, Gazette's "Sumire" is pretty much about that kind of progression too, no?

K8A 22 Posted June 14, 2016 The last two chords that became somewhat a standard for MUCC after Gokusai came out. Sus4 -> Major Get's me everytime. They did wear it out a bit though. 2 Total Saikou and Laurence02 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K8A 22 Posted June 14, 2016 Man there is so much harmonic content to take from MUCC. They are without a doubt the most prominent in the use of harmonic progressions in the whole scene. The use of diminished chords and wandering bass notes in this refrain is simply marvellous.. 4 Pretsy, Yukii_Nishimura, Laurence02 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
