Furik 832 Posted August 1, 2010 I'm not sure about any visual kei bands, but Coaltar of the Deepers, ?? (Tokusatsu), The Mad Capsule Markets and The Stalin are all great bands that definitely deserve more listeners. I completely agree with COTD and MAD.COTD need to release something new (what was their newest release.. Bear?). And AA= and Wagdug are amazing side projects.

Number Girl 48 Posted August 1, 2010 @CAT5: I think you make good points, there are just way too many angles to view it. I think most people in the thread seem to be basing it on current Western fandom popularity a.k.a. the general "jay-rawk" fandom. I'm willing to bet though, that some of these bands probably have garnered decent respect in Japan, etc. (Especially those bands ronluna listed or made threads about). And then there is the subject if by "value" we are talking about the size of a fanbase or who is acknowledged by the media etc. It gets too confusing to argue. . . @ronluna: Dude, chill. We'll comment on Tetsu's solos when we are good and ready to. . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 7997 Posted August 1, 2010 ronluna acts like more than 5% of the people that visit these boards look at anything either than news or downloads. Personally I think METAL SAFARI is quite an underrated band. They've got some good stuff. Might up their latest release later today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 膣分泌液 Posted August 4, 2010 Coming out your mouth with your blah, blah, blahJust because you have personal issues with the composition of their fanbase doesn't make it not exist. Lol srsly, listen and watch "I'll" and then go listen and watch to Yasashii Higesi, Miss Moonlight or Autism. If you don't see the parallels then you're fucking blind. And my taste has nothing to do with this conversation. I actually enjoy Dir's first EP and early singles if that's what you're wondering. (And srsly, you're still arguing for them being undervalued when then have 23 MILLION plays on last.fm?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cruel-crucible 89 Posted August 25, 2010 On the legend part, I would love more people to like Sense of Shape Everyone seems to think they were the worst Matina shit, but I actually like them XD BTW, how come in EVERY TW thread there must be a Dir en grey drama? Oh, and how people love comparing Toshiya and Kisaki... you just can't get over it, can you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gyakutai 12 Posted September 8, 2010 also chariots are really undervalued. or is only me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 7997 Posted September 9, 2010 also chariots are really undervalued. or is only me? Nah, I think it's just you. They were step down from Riku's previous works in every department and the worst part of it was that while he was in chariots he forced his voice to come out unnaturally. I think he was trying to sound more aggressive but it just sounded like he had a permanent stuffy nose. There were some songs of theirs I liked but overall they weren't that spectacular IMO.

I agree with Zesshoku about Riku. TBH, chariots has been one of the worst bands from UCP, I mean I like Riku's voice, and also KANATA and Reiya, but there was just something really bland with them. In fact, the only two songs I liked were shred and camouflage (the latter one being a Phantasmagoria cover). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
