Lack of songs in v-kei that feature artists from other bands

[zaa_zaa 208]

The only song that comes to my mind is Mucc's "Memai" from their last album where there invited Hazuki from Lynch.

 

What other songs do you know of that follow the template of {song title} feat. {artist name from some other band}?

Why do you think it's not a popular move?

they do features once in a while...

 

 

it's typically an ojisan member helping a start-up band or an approaching irrelevancy act to get up from their knees:

 

miyavi's debut lives with Pata and later having a sugizo feature before parting ways with PSC also come to mind, or random one time session bands that play for a night or two and never record anything.

 

soan project was a temporary project with bandmen from various active/semi-active bands that released stuff in two different line-ups so it's not the same, but it still more or less fits the mold

 

crystal lake fronteuse seams to contribute his vocal effort pretty lavishly around 

 

sukekiyo b-sides and bonus disks are stuffed with features

 

starwave is often shat on, but their acts provide more or less asinine self-covers with different vocalists every once in a while

unless it's a legacy act providing the feature, there's little point in doing this in vk: gya stanning is typically focused on a single band or a particular member and his projects, and most bands regularly playing/socializing together would rather do split VA comp albums (which as a tradition seems to fade away as legacy labels close and major ones typically not bothering with this at all.)

The main one i can think of rn is this pan-label song that Yukiya (JILS, president of Kreis) did with tons of the bands on his label. It's pretty cheesy butfeatures a lot of good artists, predominantly Dir En Grey.

 

Another one is this Vasalla song that yet again features Kyo (Dir En Grey) on background vocals. You can barely hear him but he is accredited, lol.

 

Finally there's this alternate version of 'Death' by Sleep My Dear featuring Kiyoharu from Kuroyume, which is pretty interesting

Because most vk bands is poor and can't afford sharing the profits with another. 😅 🤭🤭🤭

I know that back in the day, Loop Ash did this kind of thing, where MASK and SCISSOR wrote and recorded a song together. Similarly and more recently, Chanty and Develop One's Faculties created a maxi-single where one song was written and also featured both bands.

couple more examples that didn't jump right out but still are worth noting: 

 

kazuya from deadman had a solo release in 2008 under the name gift with a number of various featuring vocalists:

 

gift - a man's walking is succession of falls

Asagi and his solo works heavily rely on featuring musicians having no permanent backing up line-up

 

on the same ojisan feature cliche - mediocre darlings legendary 69 debuting with sultry chanteuse hakuei and mafioso career killer Misa:

 

 

before quickly downgrading vocal role to Yusa and some other neverbeens, and staying in this form till now:
