    Psycho Le Cemu's vocalist Daishi has his band The ROMEO, basically just your standard rockabilly. Shinjuku Gewalt & FLOPPY's Toda Hiromu is (was? idk if they're still around) also involved in a band called NESS, as far as I know they're not really tied to the VK scene. Sasabuchi Hiroshi (ex Plastic Tree) has gone on to play in the shoegaze bands Tokyo Shoegazer and CQ I believe Shuuji 1 (ex cali gari) went on to be in a bunch of punk bands, never really saw member pics of any of them so idk how visual they were Would The God and Death Stars still count as VK? Otherwise I guess you could add Aie to the list as well, his project The Madcap Laughs was definitely not VK at least

    new demo band "モア" (MORE) has formed

    'Ho boy. continuous cover-session band, "麺はコシが命" (Menwa Koshi ga Inochi) (formed in 2018) has formed into new limited-time/demo band called "モア" (MORE) (not to be confused with the superior More which is sadly going on hiatus this year...) on January 19. They will hold their first live on April 28 at Archemi's sponsored event at Live House RUMIO. Hopefully they change their name when their demo period ends... [lineup] Vo.ハヤト (hayato) (ex-MEL (on Gt.) -->テマネキ (Temaneki) --> 麺はコシが命 (Menwa Koshi ga Inochi)) Gt.ミナギ (minagi) (ex-ジェミニア (Jeminia) --> 麺はコシが命 (Menwa Koshi ga Inochi)) Gt.XeXe (麺はコシが命 (Menwa Koshi ga Inochi/ as 壇)) Ba.流 (ryu) (ex-Revine --> 麺はコシが命 (Menwa Koshi ga Inochi)) Dr.詩乃 (sino) (麺はコシが命 (Menwa Koshi ga Inochi)) Twitter

    Oh, I can't believe I didn't mention ZIGZO! I'm sure most people know them, but because I saw someone who thought Tetsu dropped off the map or something once: ZIGZO is made up of Tetsu from MALICE MIZER, Sakura from L'Arc~en~Ciel and Ryo and Den from BY-SEXUAL. Plus Tetsu also has the bands nil, The JUNEJULYAUGUST, THE BLACK COMET CLUB BAND and Indies Denryoku, although ZIGZO is probably the only project of his that qualifies as "successful".

    I edited my first post with Junna's new project, but yeah he's in a doujin project called Ariabl'eyeS with two female vocalists. Strangely he still has the vk look going, so that's good to see~

    Basically they wanted to release the Heisei PV today and had every intention to, but they weren’t satisfied with the result yet - so rather than give us something they weren’t satisfied with yet, to tide us over, they made the lyric video for us

    Pregnancy

    Exactly. When @BrenGun said what he said, I don't think he meant to emphasise the gender of the parent. One of the parents does need to stay at home and look after the children (or at least, a relative or trusted friend). Not to give you my life story here, but I think it'd help to put this into perspective so no-one gets #triggered. In my case, it was my mother who worked and my father who looked after my brother and I until he passed away (nine years ago today, it's March 19th here in England), then my mother quit work and the task of looking after me was delegated to my brother until we were both a little older and I was more able to look after myself and my brother got his own job. My mother then started working part-time, but even with a part-time job she was never around to look after because... well, because she was a shitty parent, to put it bluntly. Not having someone around to look after me really fucked me up. Even if one of the parents works - hell, even if both of the parents work - they should still be dedicated to their child. Yes, having a career is good for you and your family (in fact, it's arguably essential for you and your family), but not if you put it before your family. Regardless of how you spend your time away from your family, you absolutely have to be committed, because the children suffer greatly if you're not. Besides, if they're babies, I don't think you have any excuse to go out all the time without them instead of looking after them unless you absolutely have to (e.g. work, doctor's appointments, etc). I'm not saying you wouldn't be a good mother personally, but it's not the sort of thing you can gamble with, so spend some months thinking about it before you make a decision. All the best x

    If you are willing to sacrifice the well-being of your child for your career, you shouldn't have your own children in the first place. My point is that if either of the parents isn't ready for the commitment, they shouldn't go through with it.

    They're so fun live (batsu is crazy), especially because of this type of songs they really do stand out at taiban (lives with multiple bands) I can't get into their previous single, but if they're doing this random shit again, I'm good. Low quality MV? Whatever!

    Pets and animals

    I don't have any pets atm but during the past 8 years I had several generations of rats living with me. Sadly I don't have enough space for a big cage to get some again in my new apartment and I horribly miss having rats so much ...

    Kisaki Drama 2k18

    A lot of what we've heard about from Kisaki in the past is hear say. Drama from the 90's may as well be fairy tales. It's very hard to pin down a lot of salacious behavior to anything resembling a serious crime. That's why I think this comparison misses the mark a bit; it's true that visual kei has its dusty corners where I wouldn't want to be caught sneezing, but @Gesu also has a point in that big enough crimes get prosecuted independent of any affiliation to visual kei. This ain't Kisaki's first brush with the law, and the media was also quick to snap up SHINTARO from BLACK CAT and Setsuna from THE EGOIST for their crimes.

    The only ones I really remember right now are Kasumi and Shiren (Yukimura) from Unlucky Morpheus. Kasumi was the owner of the Visual Kei label Dear Dolce and his friend Shiren was in the Visual Kei band Raddock. I think Waggaki band had members that were part of Visual Kei scene too.

    That's the same merry go 'round in Neverland's "Merry go land" MV :D. The song is nice, but I kinda miss their heavier stuff imo (not like "silence dreamer" on this single w/ those really subdued/airy screams.)

    キズ (Kizu) new single "平成" release

    I feel like the sound quality is probably because of the whole special format they used to record the single with. I can’t imagine that would carry over to YouTube well. That said, I liked the song.

    Ten Years of Monochrome Heaven!

    Wow. I guess MH is going on 12 years in a few days. Amazing, and it's all thanks to the community for keeping it alive. I have been lurking on and off since the TW days. One of my fondest memories is reading and laughing at the crap jrock bands thread and how the horrible song by idiot or w/e became a running joke among the old regular members for a while. That was fun even if only as a vicarious memory. There are so many familiar usernames still, which is strangely comforting to this occasional visitor. Hoping everyone has been well.

    Tbh I fuck with all of Hiro's projects from visage to verxina but I feel like I'm the only one who actually digs verxina the most for the exact reason some people dislike it. I just love how messy and over the top it sounds sometimes, it feels more unique and different in that regard

    Kisaki Drama 2k18

    Why is it that when people make baseless accusations about innocent people, everyone believes it and their reputation gets ruined, but when someone is proven to be an absolute cunt with irrefutable evidence against them, money settles all and, eventually, no-one gives a shite? Disgusting, naïve and disrespectful to everyone involved. I just hope the poor kid's alright and that Kisaki is eventually incarcerated. This is why I stay out of shit like this until there is evidence. I believe in innocent until proven guilty on both sides and no amount of bullshit will ever cloud my perception on that. Kisaki can fuck right off if he thinks he can buy his way out of this mess he started. Still, I'm not going to say that this damages all of VK. Yes, what Kisaki did was fucking abhorrent, and it undoubtedly damaged his reputation and, unfortunately, probably those of the people who have worked with him in the past as well, however I said that I believe in innocent until proven guilty on both sides, so I'm not going to let this take away my faith in the genre. Don't get me wrong, my faith in him is down the toilet, but that's him as an individual. Instead of letting his actions define what could and couldn't be possible in the lives of the many, many J-rockers we all know and love, I'm going to just separate him from it all. It's argued by a lot of people here that the art should be separated from the artist, so I'm separating Kisaki from VK. Abusing someone isn't a staple of the genre, it's a crime.
