A better marketing team. That is what VK lacks.
 
Being edgy isn't the issue, Billie Eyelash is the latest example of that. And language barrier? Although valid, but with these K-Pop acta around and actually popular, so much so that they went to evening talk shows or performs at Coachella, one of the major Summer music festival in the world, I don't think it is that much of an issue these days. Especially when your music genre audience market is younger people or people who are young spirited.
 
And what did Billie, BTS, BLACKPINK, Ariana, Kardashians, and others have that VK acts don't? A marketing team that control the hype machine up in large scale.
 
Also, they are not utilizing internet very well when it is a great  tool to expand your reach. And actually this is a main issue with Japanese music industry in general. Like, L'arc~En~Ciel a major label band have only set up their official YouTube channel in December 2019!! And have been copyright strikes every single uploads of their music or music video by regular people so nobody but the actual fans actually know who they are. Imagine that.
 
Which is sad and tragic, since internet was the reason VK went viral outside Japan in the first place in the early 2000s with the P2P file sharing such as Soulseek being popular.

u b tripping luv x
 
tragic dir en grey abomination doesn't account for every other band men out there

New aesthetic, same tired Ruki compositions. 

The GazettE new album. With new aesthetic. Either Reita or Aoi will try to emulate UTA from Tokyo Ghoul. While Ruki will do some Bald Kei, cos every front man need to do it once.

hint: think of the first letter in each of the band members' names... ; )

I guess it was because two big ego clash between Mana and GACKT.
 

Maybe that is Akinori effect
 
Except BABYMETAL is still entertaining.
 
SINNERS EP (2017) was decent, and they got all these other bassists collaborate with them. But when Akinori returns for XIII, it sounds as uninspired as they were again, something that been going on since I BELIEVE IN ME (2011)..., after Akinori was becoming official member, and presumably finally able/allowed to give input on lynch.'s music and direction? 
 
So the answer to this is; fire Akinori for good 
 

He seems to actually vibrates each time he attempted vibrato. 

He’s too busy pandering, Toshi is now covering anime song to keep the paycheck in.
 
 

Meme Queen?
