I spent my near years eve going to the cinema with my girl watching The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies, then went home for some beers before we left to the stable to take care of the animals there. Well, my girlfiend did most of the work while I spent my time there cuddling with the three ponies and the cat. Those ponies are the cutest animals ever.

Wow, just...wow. You all must be so proud of yourselves for these posts. Bullying is so cool, right? The person you're all talking shit about has stated multiple times that they already feel bad enough about the way they feel about these sorts of things and here you guys are. What if they read this? What if they feel even worse because of this, will you feel proud if you managed to make someone feel bad about themselves, someone who didn't in any form or manner hurt you? Someone who did not deserve this? Any form of bullying will not be tolerated on this forum. Anyone who continues will receive the appropriate punishment. Stay on topic from now on.

V.A. - V-Anime Collaboration -Femme- Artist: V.A. Album: V-Anime Collaboration -Femme- Overall Score: Various well known OST mixed in visual style _________________ Hello everyone, I’m going to review V-Anime Collaboration -Femme-. This is my first review here and my English is faaar away below average so please bear with my stupid mistakes. I review this because I found out this Collaboration is interesting since male vocals was covering OST which was originally sung by female vocals. Besides, -as someone who has no many clues about visual bands- I thought visual bands usually had something like rock/metal sounds with some synth effects for their musics. That’s why it was very interesting to know how would those cute songs become when they are sung by male vocals and infused with rock/metal sounds. This review is my subjective personal opinion. Since I listened to the original version first, I had some weird attachments with the original one. That’s why, I couldn’t really give a good score for covers which I feel “This song shouldn’t be like this”. Let’s begin. . . . 「JOINT」from Shakugan no Shana II covered by 昴（Royz）× 風弥（DaizyStripper） The original version had been packed with Rockin elements already. I think it won’t be difficult to make a good cover of this song. The cover version had a more intense guitar filling with pretty cool sound effects and Subaru’s voice went well with the song. About Kazami, all I know when I googled about him is that he’s a drummer. I think that drums parts of this song had been just average. I don’t know whether it’s Kazami’s style or because of the song, but I think this song would be better if it has more intense drum kicks. Score for this track: 3.3 of 5 「オレンジ」from Toradora! covered by yo-ka（DIAURA）× 涼平（メガマソ） I’m a fan of Toradora and Orange is my favorite OST from it. The original version was a very cute song which was sung by super cute vocal, gave the listeners light and cute atmosphere. Before listening to this cover, I listened to the original version and then a DIAURA’s song titled ‘Reason for Treason’ and instantly got excited about how this cover would be. The cover version started with cute effects and then followed by Ryohei’s guitar parts. It was kinda hard for me to listen to yo-ka’s voice since I compared him with the original vocal all the way, but overall yo-ka and Ryohei did well. This song still felt so bright and gave me ‘happy-jumpy-feeling’ when I listened to it, and Ryohei’s guitar parts gave this song different punch. Score for this track: 3.7 of 5 「NIGHT OF SUMMER SIDE」from Kimagure Orange Road covered by 桜井青（cali≠gari）× 那オキ（THE BEETHOVEN） This is originally a classic song from a classic anime that feels so classy. Ao and Naoki gave this song a lot of electric touches so this song sounded a lot more ‘modern’ than the original one. At some parts, Ao’s voice was effected so it sounded kind of ‘robotic’. Speaking of the feeling, this cover is absolutely wasn’t a retro song like how Night of Summerside used to be, but somehow I can tell it was something from Kimagure Orange Road or at least a comedy anime. Maybe if Kimagure Orange Road will have a sequel with futuristic background, this version can be used as the theme song. Score for this track: 3.5 of 5 「フェアリーテイル～約束の日～」from FAIRY TAIL by 米倉千尋× 咲人（NIGHTMARE） Actually, I can’t really comment on this one since Yonekura Chihiro is the original singer of this song, so let’s just leave the vocal as how it was. The original version of this song was filled with electro sounds, with a part of the guitar solo and violin effect, made this song sound pretty complex. Collaborating with Sakito made this song sound heavier than the original one. Sakito’s guitar parts all over the song unexpectedly went well with Chihiro’s vocal and they still kept electro sound effects in the whole song. A nice approach to combine sound effects and cool guitar lines. Score for this track: 3.8 of 5 (just for the music) 「ゆずれない願い」from Magic Knight Rayearth covered by 夕霧（DaizyStripper）× MiA（MEJIBRAY） This song always reminds me of Naomi Tamura classical beautiful voice which sounds kind of emotional and signature guitar parts which somehow has become ‘identity’ of this song. I think Yugiri’s vocal type is an advantage because it can make him, sang this song almost like how Naomi Tamura did. Yugiri nailed it well. I could feel the emotional feeling like I did when listened to the original version. MiA also did the guitar parts cleverly. He kept the signature guitar parts and went well with Yugiri’s vocal. I personally think this cover is very close to the original version. I don’t know whether it’s good or bad since I feel it’s more like another-version of the original Yuzurenai Negai. Maybe some people said this track is lack of creativity, some others said this is well done. Score for this track: 3.9 of 5 「ブルーウォーター」from Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water covered by 揺紗（THE KIDDIE）× 風弥（DaizyStripper） I think the original version was just ‘another theme song’, I meant nothing special about this song among the others at that time. That’s why I was looking forward about the cover, wished they would do something to make this song became an outstanding one. The cover version was quite different from the original one, but I thought it was just ‘another-visual-band-songs’. Kazami’s drum parts are better than on his previous track, but still, I felt there were many similar songs made by visual bands. Maybe it was an example of a visual band song? Score for this track: 3.25 of 5 「ムーンライト伝説」from Pretty Soldiers Sailor Moon covered by Kaya × 涼平（メガマソ） A famous song from one of the most well known anime at 90’s. Before listening to this song, I listened to (actually I watched on YouTube) Kaya’s song titled ‘Chocolate’, and then I feel that the cover version of Moonlight Densetsu was so Kaya-ish. Kaya has such strong distinctive character and this song was almost completely overwhelming with Kaya’s character, although he kept the signature melody at the beginning of this song. Anyway, I could barely hear guitar parts in this song; just some rhythm as filler far away in the back of Kaya’s voice. Anyone knows what did Ryohei do for this track? Score for this track: 3.5 of 5 「薔薇は美しく散る」from Rose of Versailles covered by 団長（NoGoD）× MiA（MEJIBRAY） Another iconic song from famous 80’s anime. I remember there’s a visual band called LAREINE covered this song at 90’s. LAREINE was a rosy band and its members even dressed like Rose of Versailles’ characters back then. This version surely was completely different with LAREINE’s version or the original version. Dancho and MiA gave an entirely brand-new-Bara wa Utsukushiku Chiru with heavy rock and metal elements. They replaced it signature violin melody with guitar, which sounded pretty cool. I think someone who listened to this version without knowing the original or LAREINE’s version wouldn’t expect that it was covering a classic 80’s dramatic Shoujo anime’s theme. I appreciate their creativity, but I felt completely lost when I listened to it. Why should Dancho scream? Where did the image of beautiful Rose of Versailles go? I wish they spare some parts for something that sounded more ‘Berubara-ish’ so people who listened at least know that this isn’t a mecha anime song Score for this track: 3.27 of 5 「キューティーハニー」from Cutie Honey covered by RYO:SUKE（WING WORKS）×涼平（メガマソ） When I read this track on the list, I thought “Really? They will cover such song?!” Then I listened to (again, actually I watched on YouTube) WING WORKS’s song called 不死鳥-FENNIX- and after looking that Ryohei accompanied RYO: SUKE for this track, I began to think that it would turn out like Kaya’s cover of Moonlight Densetsu. ...And I think I wasn’t entirely wrong. I didn’t expect (or I didn’t want) RYO:SUKE to sing in a flirty style like the original version of Cutie Honey and fortunately he didn’t sing as flirty as how the original version did. The music was also pretty creative, but still kept the bounchy Cutie Honey theme well. Overall, this track is amusing! Honey Flash! Score for this track: 3.63 of 5 「プラチナ」from Cardcaptor Sakura covered by 谷本貴義× 那オキ（THE BEETHOVEN） Anyway, I’m a fan of Takayoshi so I think this part is more subjective than the rest of this review. As we know, the original version of Platina was a light, bright, soft, fluffy and easy listening song. Takayoshi sang this song pretty well. He kept this song bright and light all the way. Naoki’s bass went well along with this song, and some guitar parts gave a pretty good impact. I personally am impressed with the guitar pars at this song because it could keep ‘brightness’ of this song and give a punch as well. Anyone knows who’s filled it? I think I won’t mind if CLAMP inserted this version into some of Carcaptor Sakura’s episodes. Score for this track: 3.85 of 5 「残酷な天使のテーゼ」from Neon Genesis EVANGELION covered by HAKUEI（PENICILLIN）× 風弥（DaizyStripper） When I was a mere kid, I thought that the singer of this song was the one who sang Magic Knight Rayearth’s Theme Song. Based on that experience, I thought HAKUEI would sing like Yugiri for this song. How HAKUEI and Kazami did with this song surprised me. They made an entire jazzy song from that classic EVANGELION theme. This cover started smoothly sweet with piano and HAKUEI’s soaked voice and then surprisingly followed by a jazz melody which I felt very brilliant. Actually, I’m not into HAKUEI’s vocal and his groan at some parts felt creeped me out, but I think this cover is creative and interesting and well done. Kazami also did well at this track. His drums made this song felt more jazzy. Maybe he’s accustomed with jazz songs? Score for this track: 3.93 of 5 Overall, I enjoyed listening to this compilation because I could find various types of music here. I heard there’s a compilation where many visual bands covered song titled ‘妄想日記’ in various ways. I think it must be interesting!

it is announced at D'ERLANGER live at Kawasaki CLUB CITTA' at 2014/12/24 that their new album (title not yet finalized) will be released in 2015, although details have not yet been announced

pls share your opinions on the slayestest visual kei album of the year, this IS the appropriate thread to do so and let your worshipping run wild - in which ways do YOU think exactly kaya's creative genius currently outshines everyone else in the scene? - five reasons why cocklobin should have disbanded 3 years ago? - your top 16 favest tracks off arcana? - on a scale of 2004 phanstasmagoria to 1999 dir en grey, how impactful do you think femme fatale's reinvention of visual kei has became by now? - optional: write YOUR own essay on kamijo and kaya's contributions to the death of asagi merry christmas, y'all

My year-end list is finally done! This is a collection of my favorite releases of 2014, including a handful of singles. It is always at this point in the year I learn about new/overlooked/dark horse releases from other member's lists, so I look forward to reading those! But as it is, this is very much a list that is reflective of my own tastes. For organizational purposes (/my inability to truly rank releases), within each list, everything is listed in alphabetical order. Hopefully, you'll find a few things that strike your fancy! I did spend a lot of time working on this, so any feedback/comments you have would be very much appreciated! So, without further ado, let's get to it!

Spoiler HTML code Best of 2014 I tried to create a short, cohesive "best of" list this year. I failed. Welcome once again to my fourth year-end list, where I talk way too much about a bunch of releases I've never mentioned before. I had the intention of keeping this list short and sweet this year, but 2014 was a great year for music. Every time I completed the list, I remembered two or three more albums that just had to be on here, and before I knew it I ended up wanting to share a lot more artists than I intended. I had to draw the line somewhere. Then, I had to find a way to keep your attention long enough for everything on this page to load.While this isn't the most exhaustive of lists, I tried to pick artists I thought people may be interested in alongside some more unusual things I liked. So now that we've reached the end of my not so subtle introduction, I think by now everything should have loaded. Read, enjoy, and leave me comments! 0号室の旅人 by 101A Songs: forbidden sky and luminous (from '4') The Joy of Motion by Animals as Leaders Songs: Air Chrysalis and Ka$cade Syro by Aphex Twin Songs: minipops 67 [120.2][source field mix] and CIRCLONT14 (shrymoming mix) Noise by Boris Songs: Heavy Rain and Melody DIStopping by Charisma.com Songs: Iinazuke Blue and HATE Clark by Clark Songs: Winter Linn and The Grit In The Pearl Butterfly Effect by Clockwork Indigo Songs: Butterfly Effect and LUAM Promulgation of the Fall by Dead Congregation Songs: Immaculate Poison and Only Ashes Remain Arche by Dir en grey Songs: phenomenon and 禍夜想 Under the Influence 2 by Domo Genesis Songs: Go Outside and X Oi Magoi by Hail Spirit Noir Songs: Oi Magoi and Hunters The Path of Apotheosis by Inferi Songs: The Ancients of Shattered Thrones and Marching Through the Flames of Tyranny Shiori by jizue Songs: shiori and 真黒 Symphony of the Vampire / Heart by Kamijo Songs: Moulin Rouge and Heart Abstruse Imbeciles Nailed on Slavery by Lost Ubikyst in Apeiron Songs: Nothing to s(l)ave and blind cyclops Elddop by Martyrdöd Songs: En Jobbigt Jävel and Martyren The Last Dawn / Rays of Darkness by Mono Songs: Recoil, Ignite and Elysian Castles Rhapsody in Beauty by THE NOVEMBERS Songs: Romance and Meursault 風神界逅/雷神創世 by 陰陽座 Songs: 雲は龍に舞い、風は鳳に歌う and 青天の三日月 Dangerous Days by Perturbator Songs: Hard Wired and Humans are Such Easy Prey Run the Jewels 2 by Run the Jewels Songs: Oh My Darling Don't Cry and Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck) 逆輸入 ~港湾局~ / 日出処 by 椎名林檎 Songs: 主演の女 (from 逆輸入 ~港湾局~) and 走れゎナンバー (from 日出処) Strangeulation by Tech N9ne Songs: Great Night and Make Waves Fantastic Magic by TK from 凛として時雨 Songs: unravel and Fantastic Magic Digital Dream Sequence by Trioscapes Songs: Digital Dream Sequence and Stab Wounds ボカロ三昧 by 和楽器バンド Songs: 天樂 and 千本桜

i've never watched that movie so i don't know what are you talking about. however i disagree about him being way better in BLOOD. for me BLOOD is just a garbage in comparison to SaTaN. though i liked few songs of them. anyway the hiatus or even a disbandment doesnt mean that he will start doing "different" music. judging by his solo cd it actually sounds like lighter version of SaTaN. also it's noticeable that their releases as two-piece band were a bit weaker than old ones. i definitely dont want to see them decaying so i wont be very upset about disbandment i guess...

Banned because I have no idea how to pronounce your username. K Triangle? K Delta? Dash K Triangle Dash? *flips table*

lmao kyo XDD

I spent New Year's binge-watching BoJack Horseman.

Spent new years classy, with wine and lamb, aw yeah. I ate the shit out of that adorable lamb and drank the fuck out of that wine. xD

I think there's nothing to be ashamed about. I've had some bad projects and I'm also in an old school vk influenced project that I formed online through this site. Every band has been shit when they first started out. It takes a lot balls to put yourself out there and to try. It's a lot easier to just sit back behind your computer and say "Lol look at these sucky weeaboo poserz" Than to try it yourself. I do appreciate this thread though and I think it's cool to share music in this way bad or not. All forms of criticism can help a band. I listen to criticism and try to become better with it. Although some people just like to be assholes too. My band is still working on an album and I look forward to hearing all of your criticism or impressions when it's finished. I'll even post it in the "Truly crappy western vk" thread here. I'd also like to say that no matter how shit I feel about my past or new works I do it all because of my love for music and expression. A lot of people are afraid to put themselves out there but the good artists continue to do so and continue to grow. Most of the people in these bands are teenagers or very young and inexperienced. Take a look at some of your beloved Jrock bands at the same age, level of equipment, etc and you probably won't see much better.

hizaki looks too much like man... i only want feminine jrocker... i want to cuddle with him and he wears makeup^^ even in bed... he must shave all the time to be free from hairs all over his body, i can do it for him^^ chekis are good because very easy to remove stains when you get some on it when you use sex toys so i keep many chekis^^ if you want trade chekis i want sato cheki

imho they should kick him out after thing like that. for the sake of this band, becuase he may as well threaten them every single time he finds something is not fitting him.

I just finished Wolfenstein New Order. Very fun FPS with an unexpectedly well written plot & characterization. But the best part about this game is you can dual wield EVERYTHING! Dual wielding shotties? Can't get any better than that. This may be the best shooter I've played since Max Payne 3. Wow, this deserves a replay.

Slightly off topic, but THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!! More on topic, I'm just waiting for Camera Obscura, the sukekiyo mini, and whatever music the GazettE plans on releasing this year. Last year was pretty huge in music (though it got off on a very very slow start), so I'm not anticipating too much at the moment. EDIT: OMFG how the fuck could I forget about Fatal Error Race?! That shit needs to come out already!!

DEG's albums since TMOAB simply weren't fun to listen to. I couldn't enjoy them at all and I can count in one hand the songs I truly like from their last three albums prior to ARCHE. This new one, though, actually "invites" you to listen to it instead of being like "here, take a huge load of useless, lifeless and pretentious progressive and growly music and like it or not". It offers plenty of great moments and is actually fun, which is something they've been lacking since Withering to death. From someone who deeply enjoys their early, pre-TMOAB material the most, it's a nice feeling to have another album from them which I'm actually left wanting to replay over and over. I'm quite happy with ARCHE and I like most of the songs in it; Behind a vacant image, especially, is a gem. Soshaku, Tousei, Kuukoku no kyouon, Phenomenom, and Zero, Tefutefu and, much to my surprise, Midwife are other favorites from mine. The inferno is the only one I can't stand, but their good albums always have this kind of song so it's not even an issue (ugh, Beautiful Dirt is still such a terrible song).

the bolded one is irrc v. fine

Shounenki's unannounced 1st album. It's coming. I have visions of it in my sleep.

"Happy New Year! 2015 is 20th anniversary year of Church of Misery. I will make new album with Dave Depraved from US DOOM LEGEND " BLOODFARMERS" and other support musicians in US. I will go to US in this Spring for this recording and 5th album "And then there were none..." will put out on RISE ABOVE RECORDS in 2015."

MACABRE is flawless, should definitely get more votes.

I first read this as "Waluigi"

I added the link to the page to the announcements so it's always easily accessible. If anyone wants to join the group, contact one of the moderators, @allisapp or @paradoxal via PM and one of us should be able to add you. This is also why they have a blue name, so congratulate them for coming up with an awesome suggestion.

I finished Vanadis as well. Would have been a much more interesting show if all the fight scenes weren't done with chess pieces. It still does politics better than Log Horizon. I dropped Log Horizon off a cliff by the way. This season was the final nail in the coffin. There was a whole lot of nothing going on and even when the fights FINALLY started popping up the animation was lackluster. I can only care about politics and harems for so long until I wonder what the point of the show was, and I reached that point by the middle of this season. Sword Art Online is now about everything but Sword Art. This last season was a bore. GGO was okay but I feel like the pressure to succeed was never really there because Kirito is Jesus. I already knew he was going to win so I knew nobody was in danger. Mother's Rosario arc was just awful. You can't ignore a character for 26 episodes and then base an arc around her as if viewers will care. I don't care about Asuna at all. I'd rather Kirito pal around with Sinon over her tbh. At least Sinon has a head on her shouIf Alicization is no better I'm done with this series. Parasyte and Nanatsu no Taizai are two great anime series of this season. I'm sad both of them are delayed this week because there isn't much else to watch. Slowly catching up on Eyeshield 21. Great football anime but a lot of filler and character deveopment.

^also thought it was about the music ~ it's becoming really bad and repetitive with all the generic metalcore + dubstep breakdowns imo

caughts these shirts and hat on sale today so i had to pick them up.

Avenger's Dead Dirge 過去の純情、現在の失望で作り上げた自分も 幻想の中を生きていたんだ 切り裂いたメロディ 生み出すのは まだ息をしてた心だけ 小さく身を潜めていた壊れそうな歌 誰の運命も変えられない 描いてくimagination 何度もつめずういては過ちを重ね 現実と向き合う事が怖くなってた 流れてるメロディ 抜け殻の様で 生きてる心地もしなかった 弱い自分を受け入れる事が出来たら 誰の運命も変えられない 絞り出せimagination 生を授かる意味を 残していく意志を 歌い続ける意味を 意志も無く流される事は 死んでるのと一緒なんだ 届けたい想いは胸に眠ってるから あの雲を裂いて響き渡れ 限りないimagination 真っ白なキャンパスに願いを込めて 僕らが描く明日を

This. I think Immortalis is a pretty solid album. Just solid. It has some key tracks that I love but nothing really "omg" worthy. Honestly, the first half of the album is nice but the second half, is meh besides In all weathers and kugui (鵠) To say that one album" surpasses everything DIR EN GREY has done", Imo is a stretch. A really bad one at that.

This is fucking br00tal. I love it ! If only they'd stop releasing those weak ass songs and focus on the heavier tracks they'd be much better.

I love the 1st song.
