BAROQUE's kei solo work is so fucking brilliant. This dude single-handedly influenced SO MANY bands, his composition style was mimicked so many times, and sadly the western fanbase don't seem to think so highly of him... a shame

@madygrain his solo is mostly a followup of baroque's Sug Life, which is undeniable his most sucessful work. Yeah, Akira and Ryo had their glory moments, but later baroque composition-wise and style direction is definitely all about kei. (Akira had a larger say on early baroque afaik, which was still influential as heck). Listen to Gakidou bridge, for example. From the top of my head, I can say bis, DoGinTHEPWO, EVE, DOPES, Canzel/UNiTE, xTRiPx, Called Plan, SuG, DIV, Downer, Purple Stone, auncia all have songs that draw inspiration from that structure. That goes without saying the dn'b baseline in vk songs, but that I kinda attribute to The Mad Capsule Markets or Dragon Ash. This is an interesting discussion, if I find time I'm thinking on writing a bit about this

@chemicalpicturesI only listened to Unite/Cancel out of all of those. I will try them out just to see how it relates to Kei stuff. Thanks!

@madygrainCheck out xTRiPx's clever noise (the r.i.p. version is my favorite!) and past<future, bis' Yasashi Kaze/Seasons (so many Ila. vibes) and color of mind or SuG's CRY OUT... those are all great songs, and nice examples too!
