I really wished that I could understand japanese fully and also enjoying the lyrics as much I love the songs of all bands. FEST VAINQUEUR really starts with a fast beating song which totally fits them and which opens this VA perfect. The song is stunning! After this song you will be pushed into a strong BLESSCODE song, a band which I like but not really follow. However this song is really strong and makes me to listen to BLESSCODE even more. The beat the vocal, the guitar it's really good. Shellmy, I never ever have listen to this band before, but their song really sounds happy, it really feels as they know how to create a song. The vocalist doesn't really have an unique voice however it sounds good. somehow it reminds me also a bit of xaa-xaa. Merry badend, a more traditional sounded song with also a nice happy vibe, good vocal good musical play, its hard to not like this song. this song really let me dance and turns a big smile on my face every time I do listen to it. Follow - I also never listen to this band before, but damn that voice, so sexy vibe, also the lyric of this song.. its soo beautiful at least from what I understand... T_T...... I think that this is my favorite song. such love love song... sung with so much feelings. can I have more songs like this???? its perfect! Glamhaze also a band I never listen to before, but this really does let me remember of a boyband I did listen to long long ago.. EXIL or something? o.o our how that band was called. lol. But yes its a nice calm song. but not a song which I would play over and over again. But it's nice. maybe to much pop? xaa-xaa - the growling in this song I truly dislike but the clean singing is nice as always, this song would be never my favorite song of this band nor of this album KAVKA, also new band for me. But this song really has a strong nice intro. However the vocalist clean singing is.. na.... not that great. But at least still enjoyable. DEVIZE, I still don't get that not many people here like this band... they really put everything in every damn song which a band need to put into, good clean vocal good grunting, nice look. Also this song is again amazing. I really hope they keep it up like this. since they are truly one of my favorite bands at the moment. (as so long I don't watch their PV, because then I laugh my ass off.. because their VKEI outfit simply doesn't fit their music style XD) but yeah this song is headbang modus = OK! ASTARIA, I did check out their songs before but didn't really like them. however this song really let you dance and bounce its a fun song. at least it keep me from working... haha DEVILOOF, I still hate that this band look visual kei. because it looks so funny if you listen to their real heavy sound. but yeah this song is also nice. not everything I did listen of them sounded this great. but its a great song. Rides in Revellion, huh? how can this band this good? they got my attention thanks to this song. I checked out their discography and yeah amazing band and so is this song.. such heartwarming hopefully they drop more songs like this. SHIVA, its an okay song, I don't really like the vocal, but its a good song to close this VA and to play it over and over again. but this song doesn't make me feel to listen more of this band. After all, I think this is the best V/A album ever. It doesn't get boring all songs are amazing. When I encounter it in japan I surly will grab this album. I give it 10/10. 3 VkBrutaliaN, hiroki and Hakari reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VkBrutaliaN 1890 Posted July 31, 2016 my very short comment on this V.A. album: there are MANY bands on it i usually would never listen to (mainly because i focus my collection only on heavy bands...) but i have to say surprisingly i really liked EVERY SINGLE SONG on this album. both THUMBS UP!! 1 hiroki reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hiroki 5521 Posted July 31, 2016 ^ lol i'm like the opposite extreme of @VkBrutaliaN, however I pretty much share his opinion. for someone who isn't too into heavy vk I was surprised by how good some of these songs were. DEVIZE's 融愛 especially - it blew my mind. i might have to revisit their discography my favorite is still FoLLoW's 人魚姫 though. when the preview came out i said that song alone is worth the album's price, and i still stand by that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiryu999 3336 Posted July 31, 2016 This V.A is very good, lots of nice songs even from bands I normally don't like (FoLLoW and ASTARIA impressed me, both of their song are really cool to listen), my faves are the ones from FEST VAINQUEUR, Shellmy, Xaa-Xaa, KAVKA and Deviloof. All bands did a good job on this album Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woa that totally surprised me. But its nice that you like all also its nice to listen to more calm songs once a while. Only brutal heavy metal songs get boring after a while too.

But who knows someone will, but if you would purchase it you wouldn't even regret it. I will get hopefully a real copy when I'm in Japan at least if I can find it in a indie store Also, I wished that you could translate that Follow song. I want to understand it fully!!!~~ T_T I need lyrics!! 2 hours ago, Kiryu999 said: This V.A is very good, lots of nice songs even from bands I normally don't like (FoLLoW and ASTARIA impressed me, both of their song are really cool to listen), my faves are the ones from FEST VAINQUEUR, Shellmy, Xaa-Xaa, KAVKA and Deviloof.

(I'm saying that as a METAL fan) true words - ever now and then i have phases where i listen 2-3 days like almost only to ballads, or japanese rap/raggae etc. > variety is key! but still the heavy stuff is the best in the long run. ;D Edited August 1, 2016 by VkBrutaliaN 3 itsukoii, Mamo and BrenGun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
