  1. Last week I shared his BAND SEARCH and today I share with you his full interview! Sho knows Japanese and English, so I did do the original interview with him in English and he translated everything in Japanese, so if you understand Japanese (almost/fluently) I recommend you to check the Japanse version, since it's all his own words! Hopefully you guys will read this interview, Sho is a XJAPAN/Yoshiki fan and beside visual kei he also loves Gothic bands a lot. --- Next week I have an interview with Aya(彪) ex-RE:VEIN -- English version https://jrocknroll.wordpress.com/2020/06/18/interview-with-sho-kotani/3/ Japanese version https://jrocknroll.wordpress.com/2020/06/18/interview-with-sho-kotani/2/
  2. well since it''s used..... But anyway, I doubt Yasu used it in a racist way.... I always saw it as an anti racism statement. since you have with and black even kissing... so to me it says.. whatever someones color, love doesn't matter, to mix it doesn't matter. something like that ^^
  3. Some can, but still playing lives is important. lives are important to find and to keep your fans.
  4. Well the money also goes to LOFT. so you helped to safe LOFT with buying a ticket. And yes their streaming quality is damn great. (I watched 2 different streams)(I also did record them ) So loft gigs, I recommend to support! I'll check the album later.
  5. Read the ALCYON interview,,, I believe they really are underrated aren't they?

     

    Their music is on spotify etc and sounds wonderful ^^

    My love for visual kei never will fade away. I love the magic happening. However, the music quality of the past 10 years... I've no clue why the hell people like this kind of sound so much.... So I switched more to rock bands with members over 40 years who still play that beautiful older "rock/metal" style. or who really can mix down current mainstream with old style. (aka VERTUEUX and NEiN). But younger bands well... it's hard. Still it's fun to see how visual kei is changing and who knows the older styles are coming back within a few years again. Or we get a completely amazing new mainstream kind of vibe.

  9. ALCYON is a Nagoya (名古屋) based visual kei band who formed in December 2017, and started activity in July 2018. They typically focus on heavy-toned music which contrasts beautifully against the high voice of vocalist Sera. They celebrate their second anniversary this July at Nagoya Fits ALL. Read on to learn about their two years of activity so far. It's a band who we somehow never really notice, however their music isn't bad at all and since last month we also can enjoy their music via digital platforms! So please check them out here! https://vk.gy/blog/an-interview-with-alcyon/
  10. 3000 yen for a streaming... that's expensive. Oh well usually their gigs are 4500yen(paid in advance). so a bit cheaper😅 Their CD is also 3000yen, so they kinda expensive band anyway. (Lot's of normal rock bands sell their CD's for 2500yen maxium (tax off)) but anyway their twitter is https://twitter.com/afro_skull I already paid for 3 other amazing gigs. so.. kinda skip the rest for this month 🤣
  11. Well it worked before.. and yes it was popular I guess?
  12. BrenGun

    but this kind of pop also not 😂
  13. BrenGun

    yup https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EYh2vBGUMAIsrz3?format=jpg&name=medium but if it really fits the style... you get pop Lovers by metalcore/trashrock lovers 😂 weird combo unless people really only support bands for their looks and actually love poppy sound the most. well we will see.
  14. BrenGun

    Ah, this is totally mainstream sound. It's not bad. but why the hell are you doing this via the visual kei way?... I mean this sound is popular in Japan anyway... not that pop cannot be visual kei. but it's just weird to see visual dressed guys.. dancing around as a typical mainstream pop group. Oh well, or maybe the visual kei way, just gave them the opportunity to kinda play lives.... I'm looking forward to see with who the guys will play in a couple of months, since their sound doesn't really fit any visual kei event...
