Total Saikou and one other reacted to nekkichi for a post in a topic
idt Mana is the type to have children tbh and tbh "all of that talent may have been inherited. " judging by where I gave up on trying to get into Kanon that's a p heavy hit at Mana's blue wigs and shit, miss Kanon does not reveal much in talent department since Mana's productions ended. -

Visual kei popping up in unexpected places
ghostpepper reacted to Jigsaw9 for a post in a topic
Did you ever just go about your life as usual, and suddenly saw a picture of a visual kei musician/band where you least expected to? Or did you notice an intentional (or unintentional) reference to J-rock somewhere totally out-of-place? I find it pretty fascinating whenever I come across something like this out of its usual subcultural bubble, makes me think whether the person who dropped that bit of VK in there did it knowingly or did it just happen by random. Here, I'll show you what I mean: In 2005 a Hungarian publishing house released a collection of short stories from Russian author Yuri Buyda (Юрий Буйда), titled "Porosz menyasszony" (Прусская невеста/Prussian Bride). The cover ended up being a photo of Mana (MALICE MIZER, Moi dix Mois) somehow...? Issue #77 (October, 1998) of Todd McFarlane's famous comic book series Spawn apparently features a reference to X JAPAN on a whiskey bottle. I tried checking online whether this product was actually a thing, but I came up empty. Anyway, looks like ol' Todd might know a thing or two about Yoshiki & co. I totally stole this idea from a metal forum, but I thought it would be fun to do with visual kei too. Mods: if a thread like this already exists, pls delete this one and merge my post into it. -

I've seen some people put "fancams" of mostly BUCK-TICK in the replies of popular tweets, in the same fashion as all the kpop stans do One of the videos has like 50k views or something lol -
1 pointI guess what I can offer here is the anime or well, almost to become an anime Hypnosis Mic lol They have this character called 14th Moon who's the vocalist of a visual kei band But tbh, when I heard his voice and the song he made it didn't feel vkei enough for me lol buuuutttt tbh, the way they portrayed his personality lol it almost feels vkei bwuahahaha another one I just saw on youtube a couple of days ago is that some German guy apparently made a documentary about SCREW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u00NUkd6xdc It's just so fucking wild man, I think vkei in a way was pretty popular in Germany at some point in time lol Oh yeah, I almost forgot about Uchusentai Noiz participating in a contest here in the Philippines called "I love OPM(original pinoy music)" here's a clip of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3emU07eTKg I remember them calling fuel play or like, saying the contest was rigged and unfair because judges chose some half-ass talented half-pinoy half-western guy who abides by the western beauty standards and has abs. A lot of people said the band was treated unfairly here lol I remember Alice Nine was also featured in a documentary show here in the Philippines but, I can't find any clips of it now n youtube lol it was around 2012 if I remember correctly

Hi!
spockitty reacted to BraveManatee for a post in a topic
I think I’m like a lot of people lately who have been rediscovering their love of VK lately. I haven’t really kept up with any bands since I was about 16 so it’s been 10 years! Quarantine has left me bored and looking up loads of old songs on YouTube. I was a HUGE Malice Mizer fan. Some other bands I liked were Madeth Gray’ll, Nightmare, Nega, DEATHGAZE, deadman, Schwarz Stein & Versailles. Looking forward to catching up and finding some new music! :) -

Having an outright spiritual experience with Janne's debut right now.... 😵 -
1 point[..kissing in the cosmos, Face to Face ..] My absolute favorite Luna Sea song, on my absolute favorite album. I feel the album was a step up in not only in musical quality and production, but in that it provided something more. It provided a narrative akin to a space opera. When I hear Ryuichi go into the chorus with the words "Face to face..", I picture scenes from.. not quite Blade Runner, but something close, yet more abstract and spiritual. I feel like I'm on a journey through space that is both sad and lonely, yet hopeful and fulfulling. It's weird. Not many albums make me picture scenes so vivid as MOTHER does. Then again, I'm a total scifi romantikku freak so that might play in as well of course. Still, I feel that it represents them wanting to step up their game and present something more than just an album. It's a journey to the future, while still being absolutely grounded in both time and place with it's very stylized 90's pop-rock, and I fucking absolutely love it.

Because of the recent announcement of MCR’s reunion show, a Spanish-language tweet featured a screenshot from the Mexican telenovela “La rosa de Guadalupe” with the episode title “Soy emo” featured. In that very same episode, there is a poster of Ayabie featured in the protagonist’s artistic bedroom. -

0 pointsSo, idk if anyone has ever heard of this type of rumour before, but last year in my work as a call center agent I had a couple of friends who were also somewhat into vkei. One of them told me about Mana and Kanon Wakeshima being an amazing duo of mentor and apprentice and how successful they are. He told me that Kanon was such a talented person and that all of that talent may have been inherited. Idk where he got his sources, but he told me that in the sites he goes to there are/were rumors circling about that Kanon is actually Mana's daughter. I tried to search it up and even in Tanuki I tried to see if Kanon's name would show up but nada. So I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this rumor or was my friend just fucking around with me on this one. Also, total respect to Mana and Kanon's privacy for this but, I am curious if there has been talk about this before.

Mana and Kanon Wakeshima: Apprentice or daughter?
Yukami reacted to Total Saikou for a post in a topic
Out of a "Klaha works part time at a Nagoya 7/11 [WITH PICTURES]" to "Gackt murdered Kami to get revenge on Mana", I'll give this MM member rumour a "Kozi and Marilyn Manson planned a joint tour but Kozi thought that Manson would cramp his style so it never happened" I feel like I've actually heard this rumour about Mana and Kanon like once, but considering that I've heard like 3X as many rumours about Mana's secret wife or him being gay (yeah people still propagate that for some reason), I may just be misremembering which one I heard this time. Age wise and sense wise, this Kanon Wakeshima one doesn't really hold. Also, I think they look nothing alike at all. -

Why did gackt leave Malice Mizer: Discussion
Total Saikou reacted to vero for a post in a topic
Gackt said in his 2018 platinum photobook that the other members were already in a weired relationship when he just joined the band, it's on the verge of disbanding so it's clearly not his fault to break up all the things. And it was him who was trying to negotiating and putting things up together. Although he felt weired but it was just a job so he withstood it. So it's all other members' fault. Among all things Gackt said, I think there are at least some truth in it: He said all MM members are very unsociable and laid-back person. He wondered who was going to take the role to communicate with outside after he left. And when he was in the band he had to urge everyone to do their job. However now we know Gackt is a very strict overman about his job, maybe they didnt know it back in 20 years and would blame him for it -

0 pointsI loved this band, its a shame the guitarist died. I know that they had a rough start, there are survey vidoes where they ask guest of their lives what they thought about the band, and the common complaint was "nice sound, but they are ugly".... Killer sound, still a favorite, and I like what I heard of Pink Opaque back in the early 2000's, Thanks Yama...

Visual kei popping up in unexpected places
KrumpingChihuahua reacted to Demivee for a post in a topic
Here is an old gem from German TV. It is a cringeworthy story about a German girl who is obsessed with Mao from Sadie and runs away from home to find and marry him. This is from a German "reality" show which was broadcasted on a big channel. The broadcast is such obscure as I never ever saw something VK related on German TV. Beware of watching this shit.. you will develop a desire to destroy something afterwards.. XD -
