    It's cool to see someone else's top picks for 2015!! To be honest I don't care much for any of these artists except for XAA-XAA, but maybe this new year I will give these bands another listen!! Hard to come up with my own list... Not good with thinking of individual songs, because there's so many to choose from! But when it comes to releases, there are many that I loved from 2015 that really, in my opinion, brought me back into the visual kei scene... But they didn't seem to be popular with other fans here lol Like Dead Children's Haunted Vox and Devil Kitty's minialbum and both of GRIMOIRE's singles just to name a few.

    Post your "UNPOPULAR" music opinions!

    I'm sorry, but what the hell is even going on here? Honestly, as long as a band doesn't say they no longer identify with the visual kei scene, like DIR EN GREY and L'Arc~en~Ciel did - if you start out in the scene and still keeps your roots in it, you are a VK band. Even GACKT every once in a while says he's a VK artist. I wish people would keep this in their minds more often. There's not an oshare-kei scene. Zeus said it perfectly - visual kei is a big umbrella that holds several different kinds of music and, for the most part, looks. AN CAFE, for example, started out in the scene, grew in popularity by playing in events with other VK bands and appearing in every kind of media directed to fans of the scene, were part of a VK label for years, etc. One of the cool things about VK for me was always the fact that there's always tons of different kinds of bands who, despite being completely different from each other, still play together for the same audience - the VK audience. Example: that huge visual kei festival (V-ROCK FESTIVAL) that took place years ago. Just check the list of artists who played there. tl;dr, it's not a matter of opinion, it's all VK.

    Again, awesome list brah. Love that you took the time to do a big list with pictures and all. I really like pretty much everything on your list, my list shares some as well which you shall soon see, hehe. And it`s in numerical order, right? So 1 is your favorite of all? For me, the big surprises were the new challenger`s arriving with DiaWolf and Develop One`s Faculties. They create good, different music that has found many fans outside of a specific fanbase, I think they stand out as being a different style in your list, along with Moran. Also BORN really stepped up and killed it this year, too awesome. SCREW has some pretty cool tunes, I am not into them too much but they have some rocking songs like the one on your list. GAGA I have not listened to too much, I will check them out some more. BLACK GENE was also good, though they always change their style around. Anyway, thanks again for posting. It`s a lot of work, but it`s nice to look over when you are all done, like your own personal yearbook, huh?

    The way I understood it, visual-kei is a big umbrella which has several sub-scenes, including but not limited to oshare-kei, nagoya-kei, kotekote-kei, etc. So for example all oshare bands are visual but not all visual bands are oshare. I just see them all as different flavors of visual-kei. I have heard of some more esoteric *-keis which describe the mannerisms of how they dress, but I have never heard anyone claim that these sub-kei's are completely separate from visual kei.

    Nice! Thanks for the Tempalay update, @seurong. I'll definitely need to check out their album. I'm pretty sure they are officially utilizing the love I have leftover from disappointment with 踊ってばかりの国's (odotte bakari no kuni) last two albums. Here's some nice 2014 gems that I don't believe have been posted yet. Ykiki Beat Just a grand indie pop anthem and interestingly enough, the singer almost has a Scottish accent! フレデリック (Frederic) I know @violetchain has posted about them a little, but here's their best video. So fun!

    Post your "UNPOPULAR" music opinions!

    ^ No offence, but this is getting really strange. Sounds like oshare is a separate genre now. I always though that Visual kei is genre that requires 2 components: flashy looks (hairstyles, make up, costumes) + music itself. And here we go - as a musical genre vk contains a big variation of musical directions. It's really hard (and no particular need) to divide it into subgenres, but there are actually styles that have common characteristics that allow to unite them into separate subgenre. Oshare kei is one of most obvious visual kei subgenres, which is characterized mostly by positive music and vivid looks. So I wanna hear opinions why oshare is not part of vk anymore. Thanks.

    The general Metal discussion thread

    Despite being awfully consistent with not a single weak album in their 40 years and 23 album long career. No matter which one you ut on you're in for a good ride, but the quality is a bit up and down of courser.. But there's five Motörhead albums I consider a must in everysingle metal fans collection: Overkill Ace of Spades Iron Fist Orgasmatron 1916 No Sleep 'til Hammersmith is a must too, to be honest. Might be the very best album ever. These albums are everything a rock 'n' roll and heavy metal fan should want from a rock/heavy metal album. Brilliant albums, all of them. Motörhead was also one of the very first rock/metal bands I got into. The majority of us skateboarders used to listen to stuff like Motörhead, Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Religion, The Offspring, Pennywise and so on, so they got played a lot during the 10 years I skated a lot.

    Femme Fatale will disband

    It's super sad that the 'fans' have such a massive influence on these bands. It's their personal life that shouldn't concern anyone. People cheat on their partners all the time, and while it's looked down upon, it shouldn't have to decide someone's career or future, and it definitely shouldn't be decided by people who have nothing to do with it. More than half of the world's population would be shunned, jobless and homeless if it would live by the ridiculous sentiments emerged in the Visual Kei fandom. These rabid girls need to step down.
