Là reine 『Casser les oreilles』

Recently, I've been getting more interested in the Y2K aesthetic. For those who don't know, the Y2K aesthetic is a collective term for the sleek futurism of the late 90's and early 2000's that manifested itself in music videos, fashion, and technology. As Aesthetic Wiki puts it, "Y2K is an aesthetic that was most prevalent from roughly 1998 to 2003. Y2K aesthetics are often characterized by a distinct aesthetic period, encapsulating fashion, hardware design, music and furnishings shiny with tech optimism – sometimes literally. According to the Y2K Institute, some of Y2K's aspects include, tight leather pants, silver eye-shadow, shiny clothing, Oakleys, gradients, and Blobjects and Blobitecture. Most of Y2K aesthetics rely on the use of technology and slick futuristic looks, signaling the optimism a new era as people approached the millennium". This thread is to discuss the use of the Y2K aesthetic in Visual Kei. One of my favourite examples is the iconic music video for Yokan by Dir en Grey. This pretty much speaks for itself And while this is definitely past the era of Y2K, the music video for Mikansei to GUILT by Phantasmagoria is definitely influenced by Y2k futurism.

Feel like some people will be really choked up about this news

Best news ! "SEVEN" is one of my favorite VK albums all time and "DEICIDA OF SILENCE", "THE SWAN" and "XII" are amazing. Their best work.

FaceApp is the latest app making waves across social media - it has the ability to read faces from photos (most of the time anyway) and alter them in any way you want, whether you want your faves to have a gender swap, different hair color, or even age! How will your favorite Jrockers look after being transformed? 💁‍♀️ Gara and Yuu from MERRY looking absolutely SNATCHED: Rei from Marco (even Jrockers are getting in on the fun themselves!) : Kazuharu from REIGN ...kinda

This is great news! Despite the general consensus, I really did enjoy their later material before they stopped activities. We need another Black Swan and Door to the Sky!

I loved their last 3 EPS and have been listening tk them a lot recently hoping they’d come back. I can’t wait to see what they do!

I love and hate this at the same time. They were really bad by the end, but I’m at least excited to see where they go.

absolutely breathless! this news has really knocked the air out of me

Wataru coming back is very good but how about akane next

Extremely ready for the 12012 revival. They redeemed themselves in the end, it'll be amazing to see what they're capable of now.

Imagine DEG were all female band and beat Exist Trace and their own game. 👏👏👏

This is something to keep an eye on, regardless of how their first few phases went.

Well, let's see what happens... I'll try to be cautiously optimistic (even though the only stuff worth anything to me is their old old UNDER CODE material).

Help save the live houses! It would be a horrible thing if venues closed and we lost another place to see our favorite bands. Until the end of September, RarezHut will be donating 15% of all sales to struggling venues through their various crowdfunding campaigns. If you know of any venues that are running crowdfunding campaign that YOU would like see donated to, reply with a link so we’ll see it.

My interest in visual-kei made my friend introduce me to this place, I've never been on a forum before so I think this is very interesting...! I know it's not necessarily a genre of music, but the music of the sub-culture is what intrigued me... I discovered the stuff upon meeting a vk guy.DEG was my first proper introduction, of course, but my favorites are Malice Mizer (and members of), MUCC, the Gazzte, Velvet Eden, and that's all of what's coming to mind. I don't know what else you dandy people need to know to understand what I'm doing here(?) Well, I like art... I am pretty darn extreme about some things, too. Yes! I think that's all...??

People have literally lost their minds. What's next? Washington will be renamed Starbucks? Indiana will be Native America and Florida will be Flo Rida. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/voraciously/wp/2020/06/22/flavortown-ohio-thousands-want-to-rename-columbus-to-honor-native-son-guy-fieri/

^ me too

I can't believe 12012 predicted these self-isolating times!

THANK GOD. 12012's in to save 2020 guys. I missed you Wataru T^T

BEST NEWS OF 2020! I am confident they can even erradicate covid-19 from the face of the earth. Really, man. So unexpected in these dark times, I am happy as fuck!

MY MOMENT HAS COME SUGAS BACK 2020 REALLY IS NO JOKE

wait so they're ALL on the lineup now? interesting.. anyway bring on the revival I was in for even the latest 12012

"I'll be a beautiful swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan"

The release can be pre-ordered from tomorrow at Sadie's TEKNOPOLICE webshop (it's not listed yet I think). Looks like they made some cool T-shirts too:

I don't understand, are they a six piece band now with that dog who left them also back at it? what's the point?

This new just made me so happy, i used to love them years ago! Stoked to see what happens from now on

JILUKA is the new lynch.

Me trying to convince random strangers that I have the best taste in music because a lot of people on Last.fm say I do

you predicted this holy shit

Weird, I get the feeling I have already listened to parts of the song...

I saw that song listed on itunes a few days ago but couldn't find any information about what it meant. This should be interesting...since they re-recorded most of their classics on Zippy Gappy Zombies last year based on the top voted fan favorites, I can only assume that they'll be picking some other deeper cuts. Here are a few I want them to work on: nani kara nani made flow Butterfly toroimerei MADAMADA kimi wa itsumademo I Cult You Here are a few I expect them to work on but would probably be just meh about: himawari (they re-recorded this on Forever Love in 2014 already and it wasn't better than the original) everlast white,daydream Most of what's on Forever Love

I can't stop listening to this iconic jam. The PV is absolute sensory overload and I love it

You best believe it! Gotta love live-limited releases from bands who hardly ever play live, lol.
