New video for Dadaism #4 coming out 11/14/2018!!! Anyone know who the drummer is? This is fucking incredible, starting off right!!! Edit: his name is 諒平(Ryohei) Twitter is https://twitter.com/DDRM_ryohei I believe he’s Ex member of Link and Clack inc, correct me if I’m wrong!

close this thread immediately; nothing under this post is meaningful.

well JUPITER were looking for a frontman just like this year, she wasn't bothered to apply

I can't believe he mustered an entire album that basically screams「buy my shit jpop howling ～ my fulltime band doesn't pay the bills 」out of nowhere, yet the (allegedly) finished and done xjapan album is yet to get a release date

My hero. I'm so inspired now

Like an Edison omnibus album, "Happy Hallowe’en" will be distributed during their Halloween sale from October 20-31 with purchases over 1500 yen. [featured bands] えんそく (Ensoku) 怪人二十面奏 (Kaijin Nijuu Mensou) シェルミィ (shellmy) ビバラッシュ (vivarush) ユメリープ (yumeleep) Leetspeak monsters the Raid. REIGN

Tbh, Vkei bands should do collaborations with eachother more often. Like, yeah, those bands are close, but why not make a song together?

Len is in Dadaroma huh, sweet. Also tomo looks like he jumped out of mortal kombat lol

"いつも入ってるスタジオとバンドとはべつにちょっとしたライブでる。年内。" "I will be having a live with a different band from the one I usually go to the studio with. Sometime during this year" From Mei's Twitter. Just a session band, but still... ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN. Still curious about his actual new band. I guess we won't see or hear anything from them this year at least.

A little report from Warsaw yesterday. After taking a bit of a lax approach in actually getting to the venue instead of just drinking, myself & the other MH representative meat and her husband finally manage to get to the venue about 10-15 short of the show starting. Doing dispo things I naturally que up to the line for drinks inside hall and about halfway through that morass the new intro kicks off and the band gets on stage to a strangely lukewarm reception. Going into a little bit of panic, I manage to convince a fine local man in front of me to get me my two shots and then right away I start shuffling towards the best spots I can find while Utafumi is only about a halfway over. The first thing me, and more or less everyone I talked to later on ( I must've chatted up to a good 20 people by the end of it ) noticed was the audience was very lame. A lot of the crowd that must've listened to j-rock five to ten years back, and now they've shown up as a contractual obligation to the past with their dumb boyfriend filming the show in tow. It was up until about Uroko that the audience just straight up fucking sucked, and the way this stuff works is that the confusion and lack of enthusiasm is just as infectious as the reverse, and it was only after that first genuine surprise when the actual fans decided to start disregarding the bores around them. The bottom was reached after Fukai when the band fucked off from the stage and staff started running around, and some people even wondered whether it was due to the reaction they received, or lack thereof. Anyway, the band comes back eventually and it was slow, but sure forward momentum after that and during Keibetsu Hajimari there was even an attempt at a moshpit which I joined instantly and thoroughly enjoyed as long as it lasted. The band definitely started winning the audience over as the show went on, and not even surprised because this is the best Dir en grey I've seen live. Kyo is absolutely killing it from beginning to end, like it's a marvel to actually see him in person and from fairly close as well doing all the theatrical stuff he has brought back/and from Sukekiyo where I suppose he was more free to do himself. Blossoming Beelzebub was something else with Kyo doing the same thing he did for the Mode of DSS live where his face is projected on the screen in real time, and he's just sort of drooling while giving the best rendition of the song I've hear so far. On all the ballads and stuff that might've been harder for him to pull off eight, nine years back he performs pretty much flawlessly from the start of the show 'till the end of it. It's mind blowing just how much he has improved and how many faults he's addressed even after seemingly permanent damage. If I have to find a negative here, my friend complained about Shinya sounding sloppy during the show in Finland, and even if I became inclined to agree due to self-suggestion or some sort, I'm still going with it. The lack of intensity on his part was made apparent also by the fairly quiet sound of the venue, which was definitely surprising after having been there a few days back and everything sounded great and hit fucking hard. I quite liked the new songs live, even Values of Madness that I don't particularly care for I enjoyed and the band seemed to enjoy playing as well. Keibetsu hajimari and Devote My Life should have had a pit, and shoulders and fists should've hit the idiots standing still and filming in the face; there was this one dude who looked super offended that I featured myself in his video by growling the To Die In part in Devote, like fuck off watch them off of youtube or something instead. Ranunculus got the people in my part of the audience hype, which I definitely didn't expect. Really good live tho. After the initial set ends your boi goes for more shots to be able to actually go through the entire fake encore routine that I still maintain is the most awkward thing ever, especially when you're in a country where people are struggling whether to pronounce the word encore either in their native way, the english way or the japanese one. At this point I'm finally getting kind of tipsy so I go along with it, and the band comes back to play The Final, Sustain the Untruth and Rasetsukoku. The first two were awesome with the all the audience participation and this made me enjoy Sustain the untruth for the first time in my life! So that's definitely something... and I mean obviously The Final always goes over well. While I might have wanted to hear Kodou instead, I can't say that would have been as good of a time as singing along to the The Final even if it has so far happened at every Deg show I've been to. Rasetsukoku got a good, energetic performance that unfortunately didn't have anything for me to do, lol. I was still clamouring for that pit that just never came, and you might find me doing three shots at once, but there are levels I don't stoop down to and that's swinging my hands up in the air like an asshole. Rasetsukoku has this weird rhythm anyway that doesn't really lend itself to jumping or anything like that, but a circle pit would totally work. The band leaves and the audience gets loud. They throw some stuff in the crowd and people cheer. I drink some more and then end up chatting to anyone with a pulse while waiting for the band outside (as an ironic nod to the weeaboo culture, just so you know) and wondering whether Kyo ate a giant pizza really fast because the box that went in came out in no time while it was just him there. Quite a lot of people travelling from other countries, with some even going to multiple shows, and of course some of the Japanese fans were there as well and we broke some cultural boundaries together trying to figure out what transport to take back to town. In the end I stumble upon this group of greek people and off we go for some beers, and one thing leads to another and now I'm here, hungover and writing this while wondering how I'm still alive living this lifestyle. Great show despite the initial difficulties from the venue and the audience. The band is undeniably in peak form right now, so if you got a chance to see them then I say go and hopefully the audience you get is a little better than mine. I'm too trashed to proofread this but i hope it makes sense for ya guize!!

The Not So Illusive Chanteuse

I can't say that any of these are 100% surely true since my sources are just guesses and speculations found on some tanuki threads haha But I'm pretty sure Ryo (Virge, ex-Mediena) is 27 (born on 1991) As for the other ex-mediena members, I think Rei is the same age as Ryo, Keito and Mizuki were born either 1992 or 1993 and Tooka 1994. As for the other Virge members, I think Aru is around 24 (1993 or 1994?). About Shin and Sizuki I'm not sure, but I think they once mentioned that Shin is older than Sizuki and that Ryo would be younger than them (though the way they said it was quite questionable so I can't be too sure about that)

I think the Dir en grey guys are rather older than younger.

Based on the bands he seem to be on good terms with, I think it could be members of: Gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy Sibilebasir (Izumi/Marya) The Black Swan Grieva (Kyouki/Yuugo) Choke (especially the vocalist) That Tetsukorin dude Or it could be someone totally unexpected I guess. Time will tell.

Love that this project has gone from Kamijo 3.56 to showing up Mana in release ambition and graphic design

The new look, bigger:

I own a hamster named Rito. <3 And I lived together for some years with my sisters cats ;3; (they are CRAZY)

It is Len. There have been rumors about him being the new drummer before Yusuke even left the band so I'm not really surprised.

I just posted a new poll in my blog guys! Check it out, especially you Kiyoharu fans! https://drkreviews.tumblr.com/post/179106980966/drk-poll-4-band-of-the-month

They've said that the first half is rather straight-forward, while the second half is out there. I know MZ have said that one track is the most controversial song by a black metal band in a long time. I can see Famine going full black metal rap on it. Full on white traah, black metal rap. Hah

nice to see that Gara is is prepared for the winter.

DADAROMA revival, that visual , sound and music video preview just cum in my ear. 💦

The song in general sounds a lot like Chemical Drip Cherry Pie by DEZERT

damn that's really frugal if they couldn't afford renting a white room for a PV this time. I'm glad Kirito's face settled from whatever bloat from hell happened to it during androgynos x

Welcome here😊.

LUCIFER new lyric video "MINERVA" has been released

welcome to MH 😀

Hello and welcome! Great band choices, although there are just too many VK bands, aren't there? Lol. Many people here share the same interests in lots of bands, so you'll find plenty here If you ever have any questions, just ask around. Enjoy!

Ah, alright. Oh yeah! That fucking rules.

Sadly, I don't own any pets due to time and financial constraints, but my sister has a cute tabby cat. He's a couple of years old now, but he's still quite adorable and quiet. He's also super shy around strangers.

oof. i already don't like them :x

Those flyers must be tearing up his GI track as hard as their music is tearing up the visual-kei scene!

Hello! That's awesome! I've never been over for gigs ...I wouldn't know where to start (I've looked at the guides and it seems a complete headache!). I am trying to persuade friends to go over for next year but to little avail yet. We should keep in touch for sure !

Snow scene is definitely one of my favourite (maybe my no. 1 favourite) song(s). It creates such a melancholic atmosphere. After reading about them disbanding soon, I listened to Stumble across a miracle for the first time in a long time, and suddenly all of the good memories I had with this band came to the surface. I've never even listened to this song much, but it gave me the chills.

heh , another SHALLOW fan with Nnothing to say abo ut the music. heres why yuou're wrong, Bitch:,

So their tour just started and according to fans' tweets, they've already debuted a new song called "sheeple". Gara also mentioned a live-limited single but i don't know if it'll be sold during this tour or what. I'm pissed but I look forward to seeing it on closetchild for 30 bucks x edit: this is the flyer that was distributed at the live...what a LOOK.

btw I have the setlist for the last 2days if anyone's interested but it'll take some time to type out bc they played OVER 50 SONGS

Hillary Clinton is their bassist (source)

I banned myself from listening to vkei on public transportation because of this.

Yes, I frequently find it’s easy to “hear” the basic furitsuke. IMO this is a characteristic shared by all kinds of dances and their matching danceable music. Waltz, Charleston, twist, twerk. You can identify them by the rhythm. Furitsuke is just the same. I imagine most (all?) bands write song arrangements while thinking about this — if you want a song that’s going to raise the crowd energy by being easy to dance to, it has to have a structure and rhythms that are easy for fans to match to popular dance moves.
