    Pretsy got a reaction from crossparallel in sukekiyo   
    Not trying to be the picky one here but this is not a band of "newbies" as we speak - each and every member had an extensive history of being in other acts behind them, including Kyo. So technically speaking evolution did happen there, but it's more about seeing individual efforts (e.g. who would know that Mika is such a good drummer IRL? He didn't do much in RES tbh. Or what about Yuchi, too) rather than experiencing Sukekiyo as um, "the whole band".
     
    So TL;DR, to explain my doubts:  I still perceive them individually because I cannot take them as a "separate band" but more or less a "dream act" instead. I used to follow each and every member in Sukekiyo before (hence having different expectations), and I never tried to imply that Kyo SHOULD take this route because it would be the only right one. But you know, you cannot blame fans for being too wishful...

    Uhm. Actually if we believe what Kyotakumrau reported there (by courtesy of her, once again - for writing such constructive reviews on lives and stuff)
     
     
    SO HE CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ELSE THAN CHANTEUSE TRICKS!

    So that was a theremin that I heard! You're right about Yuchi—he certainly dominates the new album (excuse me, music collection). I actually prefer to see Kyo take the back seat as he becomes more and more the Japanese equivalent of Morrissey.

    Tried to relisten to that Disc 2 collab thing and I can tell you Yukiya still can't sing to save his life - he is even more off than Kirito was back in Immortalis lol. Barbee Boys and Vinyl collabs were sweet though.

    Koska Heikki ja kumppanit floppasivat muuten aika pahasti Suomi kartalle-homman kanssa visuaaliskenessä (Ruotsi edelleen se länsivissujen kunkku on~), eräät ja mahdollisesti lähetystön sponssaamat PR-heput Nipponin mailla päättivät puuttua Suomipromo-ongelmaan:

    (Ei ole edelleen visual kei mutta mikäli Vanamot ynnä vastaavat toivot salaa takaisin kymmenien vuosien kaappiernuilusta niin don't swipe left, jatka lukemista, ja tätähän siis näemmä ne suomidipat nipponissa promoaa tosissaan, Dempagumi-yhtye tässä tekstissä on muuten aika suosittu animehörhöidoliyhtye sielläpäin ja voin paikanpäällisen kokemuksen kautta taata että tälle tulee jonkin tason valtavirtaexposurea)
     
     
     
    Eli mikäli ruottalaisia emme voita visual keissä, niin ehkä revanssi hoituu ainakin tämän tason ernuilussa. Hip hip hurraa eloveena-idoleille...
     
    P.S. Helsinki on todellakin kaukana kaikesta "Koi Suru"-ttamisesta.

    Speaking of America-kei stuff, did it even exist in VK before these guys - like legitly speaking, not about hair rock bands ofc. E.g. Penicillin  (which seemed to have some sort of America-friendly shtick for almost 5 years back in the 90s)?

    Another not-so-notable-but-nonetheless-equally-interesting evolution...by another legendary non-vk band
     
    Hint: they started out as a no-frills Japanese DQN punk band circa late 80s early 90s, became semi-Buck Tick worshiping experimental-ish punk act afterwards (around the same time), and from different experiments with more simpler rockisms and hardcore stuff they adopted street fashion, new genre (digital hardcore with nu metal-ish tinge) around mid-90s and late 90s and basically became even more street-ier ever since then.
     
    Merry's Gara surely loved vocalist's antics circa early-mid 90s ("the long hair" era btw)

    Very explicitly worded but you have a point there.
     
    It's been obvious since their BUTTERFLY single releases that they are pretty much in it for the sake of bigger "superstar" funds ( rather than being in sync with each other like back in the "good old days". God knows whether they actually have anything left from all that 90s-early 00s chemistry.
     
    Maybe not an immediate Kaisan but call it another 5-10 years of deep idgaffy silence.

    Mind that KISS was also surprisingly good (the same tier just as those Dune/Tierra albums - I know that no one will ever share my True/Heart love though) for that time when their "anime-friendly" shtick was made clear.
     
    But yeah, whoever dismisses Tierra (!) and their legacy for that matter is obviously trolling, lmao.

    imagine cali gari just covering mucc's cover of cali gari's sentimental
     
    As far as more serious predictions go, I feel like Roach will probably do one of their newer, more metalcore-oriented tracks (Ms. Liar or something?), it seems it would fit their sound. Same with lynch., most likely. Lot of people here saying Polysics should do Fuzz, but I'd personally rather see them take on Anjelier from the same album tbh.. IDK why, but I feel like something from Gokusai would fit Rottengraffty quite well. 
    For some reason i have a feeling like Daikirai's gonna go to Dezert. If it doesn't, I'd personally LOVE to see cali gari do some sort of noise rock take on it..
    MERRY would do well w/ something like Uso de yugamu shinzo, tho it's not really a 'fan favorite' or staple song. Then again, correct me if I'm wrong, but that one song they covered on the Michiro Endo tribute also wasn't really, was it? 
    Also, in the 'for sure never going to happen'-category, I'd like to see sukekiyo tackle one of the more vaguely 'oriental' sounding songs from Shion, ie the title track or Fukurou no yurikago. Also Plastic Tree should totally do like a shoegazey cover of Aka just for laughs, but they'll probably do one of their anime OP-core songs instead
