it is I

I thought it was more in the line of "What do you mean [insert vk indie band] has already disbanded?? They only released 4 promo pictures and announced they were formed, who does that??"

kisaki should've invited them to the matina revival gig smh

I mean hate on, but

Happy Halloween to all in MH! ^_^

love my Vk "throwbacks" every few months to listen some old BRUTAL系 classics - this time: Créateur, Golbeza, D-ZEL and 一兎 4 super amazing but extremely underrated/unknown bands who have left the Vk scene way to early...

I just realized I was confusing Beautiful Dirt for Spilled Milk and now I’m really wondering why the fuck they chose to remake it.

Having a soft spot for someone while at the same time hating their guts and feeling angry to the point of nausea or wanting to cry upon thinking about them is the worst feeling ever. :/

mangas so 🔥🔥🔥 they burn warehouses it seems

Still no great internet service so I haven't been able to upload photos, but so far I've seen Azami, PRAISE, HNIB, Gossip, THE NOVEMBERS, Fabled Number, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I like Osaka better than Tokyo, and maybe I'm moving here next year !

Thank you! Actually I don't like to sing in German as I don't like the flow of the language, but possibly there will be some part in the future! At least some kote eins zwei drei vier! I hope you'll enjoy it! <3 We actually had some issues with getting the songs online due to us using brackets etc in our name, which is why there was a delay unfortunately, but they should be online now under "Nanashi" instead of "Nana:[shi]" though

Some early LUNA SEA songs that never was recorded: ・DREAM IS OVER ・PERIOD ・JUNKY-もう死んだふりさせない- ・CONCLUSION ・FEELING ・Fly ・第三の言葉 ・SINFUL SONG btw ・JUNKY-もう死んだふりさせない- is the only LUNA SEA song I know of where INORAN plays the solo instead of Sugizo, possibly because it was so early and SGZ had joined fairly recently.

I talked about going to my first visual kei live with my friend in my newest video if you guys are interested in watching it

Luna Sea is probably releasing another album to show Yoshiki that it's really not that hard.

the GazettE will release their new live DVD/Blu-ray 『HALLOWEEN NIGHT 17 SPOOKY BOX2 THE DARK HORROR SHOW ABYSS /LUCY』 at TOYOSU pit on 2018/02/28. More details coming soon.

Their new single "時計仕掛けの嘘と月" (Tokei shikake no uso to tsuki) will be released on 2017.10.30.

pretty much everything from wtd bleeds together (C, beautiful dirt, spilled milk they literally sound the same)

i am somehow kinda worried because shouldn't they upload their full PV for their song "M.F.JAP" today? i know with ESCAPE also they uploaded it like 01.10.2017 at 22:00 o'clock at their local time but for "M.F.JAP" there's still no teaser or any hint like at what time it'll be exactly uploaded on their twitter.... so hopefully we will still get some more brutality within the next 24 hours - i need some MOA!!...

new song out in march + abyss/lucy live released on DVD/BR:

So he's officially in Lux but was also support drumming for other bands to improve his skills, and now he's saying he's done with the support drumming which means his focus is only on Lux?

I actually really like the song, sounds like a ballad done right. But I agree with Tokage - it's not even the effects, they just Melodyne'd the vocals so hard that he sounds like a vocaloid in some parts.

I assume, WhirlingBlack refers to this setlist, which list*ed UDaL and Setsuna. However, I have an incomplete a complete tereko w/setlist and the song after 藍紫色 is actually Re:birth. But I must say that I've never ever heard of a cassette demo with either of the two tracks as a B-side. The only demo tapes I know of are single/album promos, the two message tapes and the Karma / Aoitsuki demo. I'd be honestly surprised if there's more^^ As for La:Sadie's, you refer to this one, right? I think it's actually a re-recording, though. But my collection is kinda unsorted, so I dunno^^ And yes, I was confused about the name as well. Normally, they put the tape name on the spine, but it appears that in this case, it's the name of the event where the tape was distributed at. Their official discography also gives 生命ノ罪・・・ as the name. (Ignoring the ・・・NAME・・・ vs NAME・・・ issue, of course... seems like they could never really decide ._.)

Klaha was a better singer, technically speaking. Also, kinda related: Does anyone still remember the days when Gackt could kinda sing? Like in Malisu and early solo? Because damn I tricked myself and my husband into watching his latest MV and the cringe was real. He sounds like a duck attempting opera.

CD will be released on november 8th 2017. It's his second solo album as you may have noticed. Tracklist 1. チンドン屋 2. 左様なら 3. よんじゅうこわい 4. 独楽の様に 5. 千早振る 6. 怨歌の花道 7. 決意の朝 8. 波天奈

NIGGA NO. And yeah theres no doubt that the pics are just them rerecording the old songs.

tracklist: 1.時計仕掛けの嘘と月 2.Guilty Answer

MBHI had several unreleased songs, although most/all of them featured on their one live DVD release. They put a couple of short demos on YouTube around the time they started activity but several of those were never properly recorded. Interestingly though, one of them was a full song, it was just never released elsewhere: 21st century boy. Recently disbanded MALISEND also played their full discography at their final live which I was able to attend, which included at least 3 unreleased songs (including the various free distributions). I directly contacted them upon disbandment inquiring about purchasing these unreleased tracks as at least some of them had demos on Youtube, but they informed me that no properly recorded versions had ever been made, so I wasn't able to get hold of them. Going back to DDRM and KIDS WAR, Yoshiatsu's previous band Crazy Shampoo also had a couple of songs they often performed live but never saw official releases. After extensive research, it appears they had live distributions a long time ago, but since I've never seen them for sale either in used stores or at auction/Mercari, I consider them to be basically 'lost' songs. (Will pay for them if anyone has them though). The ones that immediately come to mind are 'Guernica' and 'Battou'. And on a personal sob story, I have always deeply regretted missing Signal's last live due to my flight being just two days later, and as a result will pay handsomely for a copy of their last single 'Crossing fate' which has yet to even see the digital light of day.

Dir en grey has a ballad called "Ai Murasaki Iro" which has never been properly released and hasn't been played live in years. As far as I know, "Ai murasaki iro" was only played on the following live shows: Shibuya Public Hall on 1998.05.05 Nakano Sun Plaza on 1998.08.04 Kumagaya VOGUE on 1998.10.09 Nippon Budokan Hall on 1998.11.02 Here's some sources from the OHP showing this song does exist: http://direngrey.co.jp/special/arche2016/gallery_007.html There is also something called "NS1" not sure what that is. After digging around for a bit I found another Dir en grey song I've never heard of called "Setsuna", which is not the same thing as La:Sadie's "Setsudan". It could also be an early version of "tsumi to batsu" that's been floating around the net for years. 1997.05.31 at 難波ROCKETS 1997.06.27 at 宗右衛門町 COWBOY WORLD 1997.08.07 at 新宿 LOFT 1997.08.08 at 新宿 LOFT 1997.09.15 at 目黒鹿鳴館 1997.10.28 at 渋谷 ON AIR WEST 1998.02.21 at 博多DRUM Be-1

from yesterday’s concert at 甲府. I will post the other videos soon. MERRY is awesome. Thank you so much for the great memories. I’ll be back next year to see them, that’s for sure.

funny home videos & bloopers

Relationships, while they are cool drain you mentally and physically. Being with someone that doesn't properly reciprocate your feelings is one of the reasons you should kinda stay away from them. Being in one messy relationship after another it's kinda messed me up i guess? Im stuck between wanting a relationship and fuck it, Sometimes I don't know if it's my fault or if i've just a knack for finding the wrong people to fall for? It's confusing really, I don't feel like my brain works the same way it used to. Relationships just leave me hurt and inquisitive of myself. I hate it when people hit you with the whole "it's not you" it's me thing. Like tell me the truth so I know not to make the same mistake twice. Sugar Coating stuff like that only makes things worse for people on the receiving end. But it's not like they really care when they're interested in something else so lol

when you see the waiter bringing your food

@Danao, @Takadanobabaalien, Thanks a lot guys for taking the time to read my post and reply. It's true, they have been very busy with their own solo stuff this year, celebrating their own anniversaries and stuff. I recognize we're lucky they're still making music and I'm just grateful they're putting out a new album period. I look forward to hearing what sound they bring this time. Maybe i'll get lucky and things will work out next year somehow for me to see them. It'll be a nice surprise if they do a few extra shows than usual next year. Maybe they'll do another world tour at some point too, with several stops this time so @Danao and others get the chance to see them^^

His clean vocals are nice, but at least we know they're not gonna stick to that permanently; like @itsukoii and a few others have said here, I think them not normally having clean vocals sets them apart from every other vk band, which is great. We need more bands that break away from that mold.

tfw yuuki's been stuck in his parents' basement for another year w/o signs of crawling back to life & you realize you'll settle for a bunch of ageha-grade singles just to hear sexy demon's new stuff again

"She's a dude?!"

"brutal"

Not really a fan of ranking albums, they all have so many great qualities.. Luna Sea had some of the most outlandish shit they ever made. It's got that raw, dreamy wicked vibe written all over it. Lots of dark green, blue, purple and black feelings, vines spiraling out from a naked body.There was no album as graphic as that one until Mother came along, where the production value and overall atmosphere tied together so perfectly. But if you look at pure musical content, I'd probably say that Image is ahead of the others. Anything after Mother would be my weakest pick. Sure, I love Style. It's like a musical representation of Sugizos magenta hair. LOVE&UNIVERSE all over the place. Just doesn't turn me on as the raw grit they churned out before. Personal favs: Face to face and Branch Road. The futuristic atmosphere in Face to face is just insane. It's also a real testament to where they perfectly combined artistic integrity with a new level of songwriting (eg. when the music seamlessly enchances the overall concept of the song). Branch road? Jesus, it's got so much shit going on. The dynamics between the different parts makes it feel more like a story than a rock song. Toppled with great counter riffing, Sugizos delaybombs, and the overall schizophrenic vocals. I'd say the vocals are the main character of the story. Switches between Ryuichi talking to himself and lashing out at the world builds a great dissonance that is later unleashed in the force of a thousand suns orgasm that is the chorus. It bursts out in some ambivalent scene of "fuck the world, but I'm going to be the one doing the fucking". Dat scream doe.

It's kind of interesting for me - Luna Sea is one of the few bands I can't really associate too much with specific albums but specific songs. They were one of the earliest Jrock bands I got into (maybe around 2004-2005?), and that was during the time period where a huge chunk of music sharing was with individual songs. it probably doesn't help that Period was the first full album of theirs that I downloaded.

This thread has been dead for far too long Just wanted to say that 4:00 AM is such an under rated song on theirs. I love the dreamy vibe and the killer bassline.

thats it damn it. I need to listen to their music. So far I only listen to their song gravity. I know its sad.

and all 1.40 hours of that song would be amazing. They do it right or they don't do it at all. Luna sea that kind of band.

Crap, I won't be able to get on a computer tommorow. I'll be tardy for the party. :0 Luna Sea is best band period. There is no "after X-ness" about them.
