    Honestly, as someone who lived through their "try hard to be metal"-era, but also old enough to remember what came before, I'm thrilled with every new look they give us these days. So glad they decided to get visually relevant again.

    Hello everyone!

    I discovered this site just the day before yesterday and decided that I absolutely have to join. I came across visual kei 5~6 years ago (thanks to youtube) and have been obsessed since then. At first, I was really into smaller and newer bands, like Mejibray. Then I started listening to Malice Mizer, who are still one of my big loves to this day. I also really enjoyed (still do) bands with a similar style, for example Versailles, Lareine, Moi dix Mois, D and I occasionally listen to Dir en Grey and L'arc en Ciel. X Japan have been one of my favourites for a long time as well. I also really like a couple of indies old school/kote kei songs. Nearly 4 years ago I got into Buck-Tick and they've been my favourite band ever since. I'm already looking forward to being on here and finding more great music (and people to chat/discuss with)!

    The amount of “wannabe Dir en Grey” comments I see in any video from a heavy VK band are so annoying. Of course at this point it should be obvious Diru inspired many of these new bands, but also almost none sound EXACTLY like Diru? Idk, I’m just tired of seeing these comments

    Fuck the naysayers. TMOAB is fantastic. It's the most raw, angry, upset, and overall emotional the band has ever been. The quieter songs are some of the best of their entire career, and you can't deny the loud songs are extremely compelling. Kyo's screaming range went way off the scale with this album. The vocal delivery is a punch to the gut. Just great. Kisou is also excellent. Not really sure why there's any comparison here, though. MARROW is much more focussed on one idea, while Kisou skips genres constantly. The only song where every other word is "fuck" is The Domestic Fucker Family, and that comes from a completely different place than anything in TMOAB.

    5 Things I Hate About VK

    For as much as I love visual kei, there are plenty of practices I detest. I could go on forever. It wouldn't be fair to celebrate all of the good in the scene without admitting the bad as well. There are so many things that make me sad, make me irate, or make me want to rip my hair out that it was hard to settle on just five. Here's five commonplace practices in visual kei that's a total ball ache for any international fan invested into the scene. Like I said above, I have way more than five things that annoy me about the scene. Does anyone else want to fill in the gaps with practices that they hate that they've come to accept within the scene? Come share your frustrations and horror stories with me. We have plenty of tea and live-distributed crackers for you.

    Kisou and Marrow are both raw, sound like they were recorded in tin cans, and have some of Kyo’s most vulgar lyrics. Yeah, Marrow is mostly expletives, but Kisou has weird sexual shit sprinkled around. I’d also argue that Marrow isn’t that focused on one sound. None of the ballads jive with the rest of the album. And... fuck the re-recorded Clever Sleazoid. Just because.

    What are you listening to?

    Eleki, Group Sounds, Psyche, Folk. I'm listening so much 60s' japanese bands currently. These Group Sounds' bands like this or The Golden Cups, or the depressive psyche rock band Jacks are so awesome. Buy the book Japrocksampler if you're interested on the birth of Japan's rock birth, and who are the parents !

    Quite possibly the second of the two strangest albums in DEG’s catalog (the other being Kisou). That’s what happens when you write songs while touring with shitty western metalcore bands. Songwriting aside, what is up with Kyo’s harsh vocals? He is literally just screaming at the top of his lungs. Why is every other word “FUCK”? Why does the mix sound like there are no mids? Its a lot like Kisou actually.

    Off Topic, but how did they get away with The Marrow of A Bone? Holy shit, this album is a fucking mess. Some songs are solid but, a good third of the album is like..."why?" Don't get me started on all of the English lyrics either.

    D’erlanger came back and released, what, six albums? Dead End and Luna Sea both released two. And they’ve all been back together about as long as X Japan has been revived. That video is hilarious by the way. All of that guy’s jrock content is. Just to hear him butcher every single Japanese word and name. Not exaggerarion, in his Gazette video he pronounces Uruha “unroo”.

    Last movie you saw.

    No. Just no. Sicario - Dark, grim and really great thriller with a magnificent Benicio Del Toro that completely steals the show. His performance is on a whole other level in this flick. All aspects of the film is great, but he's the best part of it. And the first scene where the cross the Mexican-American border bak from Juarez. Intense as fuck! Superb!

    Didn't someone quote some interview earlier stating they hadn't even finalized the track list until like June orJuly? Maybe they just legit didn't have time to put more teasers or samples together...

    I saw a ten minute video and immediately lost interest. I don't need reasons not to hate YOSHIKI. I need this new album to come out so I can stop caring about this band in its entirety. How did LUNA SEA have a whole revival and YOSHIKI can't crank out a single album?

    Toshiya looks like he walked off the the set of a gangsta rap video circa 1995. Why is Kyo’s belt around his knees?

    He doesn't show off his tattoos so much anymore, which is a big shift. Uroboros era was a great look all around with the mandatory wallet chains and Toshiya in general.

    The worst thing about this whole album fiasco is that we already heard pretty much 90% of the songs. IIRC the only tracks we haven't heard yet are "Rock Star" or whatever it was its name and "Kiss the Sky" aka "OooOOOOoooooooOOOOohh" (at least not on its entirety).

    Both songs sound pretty good (Nigrum we've heard in entirety at least), mostly I'm happy with the fact that Jey is staying in his lower range more often. His vocal quality makes him one of my favorites still

    Mamo from R-shitei being homophobic

    people need to accept that just like you have the right to voice your opinion of dislike towards LGBT (I do believe it's your right to disagree with lgbt lifestyle or whatever you call it, as long as you don't act against lgbt) people have the right to voice their dislike towards your beliefs. We're in a climate where any kind of opinion against a group of people will get you lynched digitally. Specially LGBT, who've had enough of being quiet about the attacks they suffer. TL;DR talk shit, get hit. on the other hand I get that some lgbt folks just wanna live their life without getting involved in political/issues/ drama and I respect that.

    Mamo from R-shitei being homophobic

    One thing is saying "OUR BAND IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE VISUAL KEI", being homophobic, sexist, pedo and stuff like "i hate fat people" to his fans. It's completly different. So yeah, we are suddenly burning the witch cuz he suddenly said that stuff? He's just making fun o the people who felt bad for that. He said "I have some apology words" and then an image written "NO I DON'T" I know right! Thank you! WTF? What's your problem dude? F**k if it's his opinion. He's a fuck'n opinion former, HE SHOULD KEEP IT TO HIMSELF. Cause yeah, these words kill people. Saying homophobic stuff makes people thinks its ok to hate them and that's why there's lots of LGBT dying over the world. NOW IT'S OK BEING NEONAZIST, BECAUSE IT'S JUST THEIR OPINION THEY'RE NOT LITERALLY KILLING ANYONE RIGHT? Duuuuuuuuh Thank you for existing. I'm surprised about how people are ignorant over here. I'm sorry for you babe. I would never feel okay using my money to support some human trash like this.
