chemicalpictures 1888 Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) It's easy to make fun (which was my first thought, I'll admit), instead it would be nice if we could all make some constructive criticisms to help the gals, since they'll probably check the thread... - I don't care about visuals, but people in general do, and you are all looking nice. Hair, clothing, makeup... maybe work on your poses, and improve the photoshop (the group photo is much worse than the individual ones, probably too much light on your faces) - The main point: the recording of your song is PRETTY bad. I know youtube usually drags it down and you probably don't have that much of a budget, but you can DEFINITELY record a song or two in a proper studio with a couple hundred bucks. Yes it's an investment, but it makes the world of a difference. That chorus could be catchy if properly recorded and equalized, the drum lines specially. It's such a niche market that usually don't care about western bands, so you really have to go the distance to win this crowd. - It's a matter of personal preference, but I find your logo way too confusing, really hard to identify the band's name. Branding is important, I would try to express that differently. wish you girls luck!

nekkichi 6043 Posted October 21, 2017 truly defining the sound of fujioshi-kei… rising from its grave, like an undead bloodthirsty hound, sniffing the air for virgins, howling at the crossroads in the dark new moon nights… bassist is vgl, that acid-lolita should open a bdsm dungeon or something to fund their production tbh. 2 suji and emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhirlingBlack 1043 Posted October 21, 2017 They're from Switzerland not Italy though? I met them in Stockholm the other month and they were very nice people, I've never heard their music though. 1 Serox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsukoii 1300 Posted October 21, 2017 i actually like the bassist's look a lot and her tone in the actual song is pretty cool quality is shite, hopefully one day they'll find a better producer/recording studio because tbh i don't hate this, good for them (even though the song sounds boring and i'm not interested in it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leafwork 814 Posted October 21, 2017 My only question is why euro-VK bands always feel the need to use Japanese names Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zalemu 236 Posted October 21, 2017 I... literally just made fun of them in another thread oops I love their bassist's sound and aesthetic though. 1 suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Komorebi 2193 Posted October 21, 2017 I'll check out the sound as soon as I can... but I am glad to see girls trying. Visuals aren't so badnfor a first try, most current vk bands throw in terrible first looks too. Vocal looks to fake though, too anime, too plastic... i don't know if it's the colors or fabrics or the hair but it gives me a feel of white latex that's really uncomfortable to look at. Aya, I'm sure you can look GREAT trying some other color combination, I don't think these are doing it for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted October 21, 2017 I... don’t see any fat. But okay. Also, Bataar is still a thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suji 8317 Posted October 22, 2017 Listen, we all have different opinions about this band, but to point out their weight has absolutely nothing to do with their music or visuals. The fact that 1) you don't normally see this on other band threads, 2) this is an all female band, it's just making others uncomfortable, and yall are looking like total dicks.

It's all about personal preference tbh. There's bands who don't use japanese names at all either. Take BatAAr for example. 1 Serox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Naaaaani 1173 Posted October 30, 2017 Pretty unskilled vocalist, generic riffs/structure, awful mixing and mastering as was said before. Much work to do, improve these things or be another one low budget weeb-kei band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saishu 1589 Posted October 30, 2017 I mean, there’s nothing here that makes this exponentially worse than the average, dime-a-dozen VK band, but that’s the problem; it’s not even bad enough to be noteworthy. Their nationality certainly plays no part in the mediocrity, as there are tons of VK bands FROM JAPAN that are bland and forgettable. So holding that against them is unfair. Hopefully they stick around long enough to learn and grow. 1 Serox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
