suji 8317 Posted December 15, 2018 It's that time of year again, where we make our annual end-of-the-year predictions! 2018 was rocked by some game changers such as KIZU and DIMLIM, the incredible debut of the legendary J-POP unit 8P-SB, the shocking departures from NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST, and the upcoming return of longtime band DuelJewel! What's in store for visual kei and Jrock in 2019?! Did you think vk 2018 was exciting or just a long snoozer? Or are we in for an apocalypse to kill this genre dead once and for all? Please make your predictions here, and be sure to mark off some that turn out to be true throughout the year! 1 PIZAZ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suji 8317 Posted December 15, 2018 🔯my predictions:🔯 ♥raizo (ex-scarlet valse, lafflesia) will a) bring back lafflesia, or b) make another band but it's similar in sound 🙏🙏🙏 (I swear, this bitch is talented and I strongly believe he only joined SV just to get his name out there, which is why his time there was so short. He is one of the few vk dudes that I legitimately stan & is actually pretty talented and "original" (hardy harr), and his compositions are fucking beautiful. I'm really looking forward to see what he does in 2019.) ♥merry's new mini-album better blow my motherfucking pussy away & snatch m-ology's wig or ELSE 💕💦 ♥david will release a few more singles rather than an album cuz sui needs that bangya money ✡💴 ♥k*saki will still get away with his crimes...👮♀️ ♥labaiser will disband because saya will either show up drunk & kiwamu kaisans them or he fucks up his voice permanently ♥la bate PLEASE DISBAND FOR THE LOVE OF GAWD 🛃💩🤡 ♥marco new single(s), maybe another mini-album, rei-rei will still slay this pussy 💕💦 ♥2nd phase of kaya's 15th anniversary project will involve prob another crowdfund for another new album, or some weird collab ♥liphlich will disband i'll add some more later but that's all i got on the top of my head for right now x 🌹 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I predict that: * DELUHI will finally return after almost eight years, only to disband again two months later * Sugar Or Dry will disband, quickly followed by MiA's reputation getting even worse due to some other carcinogenic shit-kei project * DIAURA will keep on slaying it * ACME will keep on slaying it * Munou Na Lucid will get HOOGE * A band will form that tries to mix oshare kei and brutal kei; not only that, but it's actually not that bad Edited December 16, 2018 by Gesu Typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masato 365 Posted December 16, 2018 -Satsuki and/or Sana will tour Russia and with a lot of luck Europe again -Kamijo will also be back to Europe probably with Versailles? -More bands will try crowdfunding -Kaitou will get ~70 people at taibans at the weekends and still no label will take them on, forever to be self-published. They will do a parody song of Sick2 -Lack-co will keep releasing very little, San and Milks BL duo stuff takes off with their 10 fans that they will become a serious GLK band.

PIZAZ 238 Posted December 17, 2018 Kizu drops another single, followed by an album DIMLIM continues to be underappreciated and faces some setbacks, doesn't disband but 2020 looking dire Ayabie follows up their comeback concerts with a full revival that doesn't go anywhere, releases a couple of disappointing singles a la Lolita 23q and quietly disbands again Nostalgia for oshare continues, new bands start emulating worst parts of that trend and a couple of nobodies from 10+ years ago try and milk the trend by reviving unwanted projects Halfway decent band with promise gets brought over for their first oversea show, at an american anime con, they announce disbandment on the way to america. BABOO vocalist comes back as a solo artist, concept is full on adult-diaper fantasy Jin's new band is met with even more passive reactions than tbs, after 10+ years of frustration he stops singing and starts working behind the scenes Kisaki's reputation becomes so tarnished no one works with him, so he doubles down on the fraud leading to actual consequences 2 monkeybanana4 and Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platy 3018 Posted December 17, 2018 🦑❌Vocalist from BABOO will show up in a new band 🦑❌BABYMETAL as we know it disbands 🦑❌Su Metal solo project 🦑⭕xaa-xaa has three month consecutive releases 🦑❌XJAPAN album will drop, even if its on Dec 31st 23:59 🦑➕DIMLIM will have a style shift to gain more fans (if the rumours are true...) 🦑➕ DIMLIM plays at an overseas festival (well, they're playing in Mexico in 2020) 🦑⭕ 8PSB reaches PEAK levels of cringe. That's right, we haven't seen the worst of it... (the whole richardland concept was pretty cringy) 🦑I predict that the cringe will culminate on a Valentine's day project/release 🦑➕ Meto will participate in one music project, but essentially drops out of the scene (he's in Liraizo. I'm late to the party) 🦑❌ Another Kisaki scandal 🦑⭕Dir En Grey drops one single 🦑⭕Sukekiyo will bless us with another album and... 🦑😔❌Sukekiyo European tour on the latter half of the year💦 🦑❌Mathilda goes strong. Blesses us with a mini album 🦑❌ORCALADE will officially disband. Perhaps one single will be released before the announcement 🦑❌DADAROMA releases one more sex themed single. The Anal, maybe? 🦑➗Pentagon's identity is becoming warped by the minute. By the end of the year there'll be neither spooks nor idol looks, but a higher budget Initial'L 🦑❌Wild Card prediction for lols. Arlequin gets new vocalist. Or disbands because of Aki. Or maybe a hiatus 🤔 🦑❌GRIMOIRE disbands 🦑❌The VK sphere will be shaken up by a newcomer band 🦑⭕DEZERT may surprise us with a heavy single. However, they'll be quiet for most of the year (black hole was better than just a heavy single) 🦑➗There'll be some worrying news related to Kiryu 🦑⭕ It's the end of Lack-Co. 🦑❌Gosan vs Sick2 🦑⭕Sick. give up, we collectively sigh in relief 🦑❌Yoshiki X Miyavi collab. One of them will also collab with will.i.am 2 1 1 PIZAZ, kuyashii, Wakarimashita and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
