I will only pay 150K if I can also sleep with her, No need sex or funny business like that, but just in bed, maybe talking and nibbling on chips and drink tea, anything less that is clownery!

In ONE DAY he already got 110% of the goal... HOLY FUCKN SHIT?! I'm so surprised (in a good way)

ok i'm sorry bu t

Let's also not forget about some more explosive outbursts like Ryohei from Kyogetsu. I wrote about it here if you want some more details, but safe to say that it's an open secret that going visual kei is a money pit and it can be seen as shameful to discuss it brazenly. Because I'm not Japanese, I took the time to convert the yen into freedom and equality units. MV ~ 500.000 ¥ / $4,400.67 / €3,882.55 Costumes ~ 700.000¥ / $6,160.86 / €5,435.49 Foto shooting ~ 100.000¥ / $880.12 / €776.49 CD pressing ~ 100.000¥ / $880.12 / €776.49 Recording ~ 100.000¥ / $880.12 / €776.49 Hair styling ~ 1x 20.000¥ / $176.06 / €155.31 Studio ~ 1x 10.000¥ / $88.01 / €77.65 Travel cost ~ 200.000¥ / $1760.59 / €1,553.43 Flyer/print ~ 100.000¥ / $880.12 / €776.49 Website 150.000¥ / $1,320.47 / €1,164.82 Total: $17427.14 / €15,372.22 Some of these numbers should be interpreted carefully. I added up all the values, so the true cost of hair styling and studio isn't reflected here because those are repeated over and over again. For the studio, is this cost per hour or per session? It's way more expensive if it's $88 an hour. I also find that the expenses for hair styling are pretty expensive relative to what it should cost, so I wonder if this is a compound cost or an estimation of some sort. I also assume somethings like flyer / print, CD pressing, and photo shoots include the costs not just to produce the medium but to pay for the services and distribution. Something similar for the website too; I doubt most of these guys are doing all the maintenance work for it, so they probably pay someone to keep it up for them. A thousand dollars for a website doesn't make sense. A thousand dollars to create an interactive and impressive website quickly is still too much. But to do all that and keep it maintained makes sense. Travel costs include not just plane tickets, but moving all of the musical equipment and paying the roadies to do it for you. I wonder if these costs are per band member or costs for all members as a whole, which could explain some of these high costs. I don't think this is everything, because I've heard stories about how bands have to front money in order to be able to perform. I don't know how true this is, but I've heard about it more than once, especially when bands have to front the difference if attendance was below projected amounts. There's nothing here about the cost to perform concerts or produce merchandise. And finally, I don't think the band is paying all of the costs, just a majority of it. So I'm comfortable saying that for your average band, the label would front about 30% and the band members together would front the remaining 70%. So the new adjusted total is: Total: $12,199.00 / €10,760.40 If I were to pretend that I was a visual kei musician, and I was in charge of budgeting for my band, and we had to make some hard choices about what we could afford and not afford, I'd honestly take a look at the hair styling and costume costs, the studio costs, and the photo shoots. I think the hair styling is egregiously expensive for no real reason, compounded by the fact that it would be multiple visits. I'd only get my hair done when I absolutely need to and show up to the studio and to record looking like a regular guy. I'd try to do band practice somewhere cheaper, because those $90 visits add up fast. Travel cost is non-negotiable. Photo shoots can double for both cheki and promotional materials, so I think that's the cost of doing business. The cost of the costumes is right about where I expected it to be if you budget for five people, and budget considering every time you record a new release you have a new look. But costumes put the visual in visual kei, so it is hard to argue to take them out. I honestly would have to argue if costumes should cost more than the music video, and would try to find some way to put even more money into those, because that also puts the visual in visual kei, and shoot for making less music videos overall if I can keep each one to a higher standard of quality. I honestly don't know how much of a presence a website would give my band at the start, and would probably double down on traditional social media tools at first to go viral and cheapen costs there, or maybe latch on to my label's bigger website and push that way. Or maybe both, because more exposure doesn't hurt and word of mouth is free. I'd also be the ultimate cheap and lazy bastard and press all my CDs themselves to start, and then distribute them at lives. Overall, I can understand a bit better how difficult it can be to get started if the funds aren't green.

This is huge, the production behind the music video and just the insane amount of energy they give off surpasses many bands that have been doing this for years. Really excited to hear more from them. Also can we talk about how filthy that breakdown was jesus christ !!!!!

Because I have no life, here have a small list of visual kei artists available for listening over spotify. Some have full discographies some only few albums or singles. there are also instances on several artists from all over the world being grouped together on one page, because of shared name. What is spotify? - to put it short, a digital music streaming service. It comes in two flavors - free with ads, and paid via subscription, with no ads and few useful perks. Sign up, log in, most likely download their application to your computer or mobile and you're set. Isn't that piracy? - no it's completly legal and artists and/or their label (we know how that goes...) are getting paid for each listen. For the start I cut this list into two categories. First one is the bands that retain their japanese song tags even on spotify - for all purists who want their last.fm scrobbles accurate Amber Bullet Angelo - mixed with different artists Anli Policino Annie's Black Black Gene For the Next Scene - mixed tags BUCK-TICK - region locked Calmando Qual Capella - mixed with different artists Cløwd CULT the Movie D - ??? they used to have few albums, like Vampire Saga there, but it seems to be gone now. Perhaps region locked. Daizy Stripper Das:Vasser Fixer - several different artists mixed together on that page girugamesh - mixed tags GOLDEN BOMBER Gossip GPKISM Grieva - romanized name, but correct song tags Insanity Injection Kamijo ラヴェーゼ (Labaiser) La'veil MizeriA Liv'ert L-Lotus- Lost Ash lynch. Luna Sea Magistina Saga Majolica MirialD Misaruka and their other profile ミサルカ Miyavi 最上川司 (Momigawa Tsukasa) NEU Nightmare - some albums seems to have romanised tags Nocturnal Bloodlust NoGoD nue - mistagged nüe, also different nue releases on the same profile Orochi -OZ- Rose Noire 砂月-SATSUKI- Scarlet Valse SCHWARZ KEIN (シュヴァルツカイン) Sirene - mixed with different artist Synk;yet Suicide Ali - mixed tags SUGIZO the fool - mixed with different artists The Sound Bee HD the studs Tokami Under Fall Justice VAMPS Versaillies Velvet Eden vistlip yazzmad Zombie (ぞんび) And now artist with no japanese tags 12012 176BIZ 9GOATS BLACK OUT ADAMS - mixed with different artist Amber Gris - mixed with different artist An Cafe And - eccentric agent- Awoi Ayabie Birushana Blood - sharing profile with other Blood band Chanty - again, releases mixed with other artist of the same name Chariots - 3rd era only Creature Creature Croix Allcine DEAD END DELUHI D'espairsray Diaura Dio ~distraught overlord~ Dir en Grey DISACODE DIV Dunkelheit D=OUT exist†trace Gackt glamscure heidi.

sorry cant find a link to them but hopefully this suffices

This sounds really nice. o:

I really like the sample! Nothing too special but it's pretty good! btw that shady bitch kicchy, I KNEW I recognized her somewhere!!!

The Best member

Individual look:

Rich motherfuckers I tell ya....or maybe Kaya stans are THAT crazy lmao

lmao being ex-RHYOLITE must be embarassing this sounds pretty good though! nothing groungbreaking, but enjoyable. good to see some old bandomen like つかさ and MINAMI too.

WOW... all three pladges of 150.000 Yen (one for only 5 people, another for 3 people and the last for 2 people) go SOLD OUT..

well damn Well anyway, yeah the crowdfunding reached above its goal when it just fucking started. The site Muevo itself was even flooded with requests from overseas users who had trouble signing up, so they had to give them their email to instruct them on how to use the service since it's Japan-only. However, the "DRESS" mini-album (I don't even remember them saying it was a mini but ok) will be a full album IF the crowdfund reaches 200%.

sounds so good!!!

Moved your post from the Dir en grey thread to this thread because the song has nothing to do with Dir en grey.

+1. I also can't stand joke bands, especially Golden Bomber and Kaitou-whatever- the-fuck

I’m finding myself really enjoying the GazettE’s DOGMA album this time around 😳 Maybe I should revisit some of their previous releases soon.

The romaji title is "Pinky Rensou" with rensou meaning something like "love affair". Great buys btw!

Singer is once again not in this video. I wonder where he went.

poggers

going for a bachelor of fine arts next year. after that, i might go to college for illustration, but i don't really know. all i know is that i want to do art lol

So ready to blast some good shit while on the road!

The singer from DOG in the PWO creeps me out.

This. I can't stand the Raid. Used to like them but quickly got annoyed with it's members. Never liked Golden Bomber and never will. Also generic opinion, but I can't stand Mejibray and Gazette. I agree with what everyone here is saying about 0.1 no gosan. Also sorry, but I don't like lynch. Also have irrational dislike for Satoshi (ex. DIV, Laplus). Idk, why.

INSAAAAANNNEEE everything about this is amazing--sinister and organic sounding strings, subtle progginess, that insane djent breakdown, the urgency, the fact that its basically 7 minutes long .... hail kizu also 2003 kyo is elated at this MV concept, ESPECIALLY the CGI noose. Does anyone know what the meaning of the MV was?!?!?! reminded me of suicide circle

EARLY Mejibray was good. Also the gazette is boring, like super boring.

I second this. To me, the majority just seem to sound the same as each other or are clearly coping an older band/artist. They lack charisma

I like deluhi and leda but cant stand far east dizain because of the vocalist who ruins every song for me despite me liking the instrumental

Spotify was like “Geez I wonder who your favourite artist is...”

I hope your fav band will disband, so you could get your priorities straight.

I can't stand 3/4 of the new vk bands that debuts every year. Most of new bands just suck. (and mejibray is good)

+1 on Mejibray tbh, they were terrible and so is their fandumb. I also can't stand Pentagon, 0.1 no Gosan, LA bate (REAL garbage tbh), The Raid, BP Records bands, and other pop bands. Also, I'd like to give Dir en grey a chance, but I can't help but get annoyed whenever I see anything about them, especially their even dumber fans. also Lycaon.....my younger vk noob self is c a c k l i n g at what they've become now 😈😈😈

They pretty much did disband.

They're too busy trying to look cool, which just comes out as disinterest.

Another best of album? Oh, super exciting. sarcasm Too bad it won’t be a full revival. Wish I could build a teleporter to see them live.

What a horrible tracklisting compared to their last best of. However, I’m excited for their one-off show. I just wish it was permanent. I miss them.

I concur with the underwhelming statement. "Remember the rain" is definitely not one of their best tracks by any stretch of the imagination, and the two remixes are not much to talk about either. This is basically for one new track.

they should also do a one day revival/mixed session band with members from LuLu, and call it DELULU

I think my general approach to music listening has enabled my interest in VK to never wane completely. Whatever I do, I am unable to stop scouring the Internet for new artists to listen to, even as my downloads folder is bursting at the seams. I suppose I am trying to make sure I'm not missing out on good music, which obviously will always be a work in progress. That's not to say I never experience fatigue with VK. But when that happens, I simply listen to whatever other styles of music I'm into, or go give a listen to something from the myriad of old school VK acts I haven't heard yet. The spectrum of VK is pretty wide and it helps that I enjoy a great deal of it. This forum makes it rather easy for me to select the newer bands that are worth a shot. I don't feel like I have a duty to listen to VK all the time and it's perfectly fine, like in every other music scene, if sometimes there's nothing much to catch my attention or I happen to not be in the mood for it. All the years in the scene have desensitized me to the whirlwind of disbandments, so I can no longer despair over a band calling it quits. Something else will come along eventually. Welp this has turned into a "why I haven't gotten over VK" argument, sorry for digressing. I concur with others that there's value in discussing this topic , more so since I've always wanted to know where the fuck my fellow Romanian VK fans have all disappeared to and a more introspective and elaborate reason why.
