    idk if this will be good enough for you, but i used this account to read bad endings or confirm if i got smth right, it seems okay. there were some not completely accurate moments, but it's still quite readable. i remember when i played the first game, i was not feeling that way about kanato, but now i find him so annoying. azusa, well i don't know a lot abt him yet, but the worst thing abt him is that he speaks....very.....slowly..... why raito? .w. mine two favs are reiji and shu~

    im playing diabolik lovers more, blood and the experience is much more cheesy than when i played the first game five years ago lol i've finished reiji, ayato, subaru and shu routes and have started azusa route. i don't have a particular interest in him, but u've decided to play all new characters routes. was curious about boys ratings and was surprised to see that kanato is always #3 or so, while azusa is always on the last positions. like, both of their personalities are fucking hilarious, but both of them look equally cute, so why...kanato is such a pain in the ass actually, yelling and speaking to his stupid bear, dunno why people love him so much. anyway, the game itself is a mess, each character would just repeat his catchphrase like every two minutes and there isn't much more going on actually lol. still, here i am playing it convincing myself that i'm doing it for a relaxed japanese practising.
  3. wow when i saw the thread title i thought the thing would look more...normal? like, he was in a big band, i expected to see a settled down, mature musician. but this looks like some amateur vk enthusiast project, which is not bad actually

    new release is so. fucking. great. you say it's mess i say it's d i v e r s i t y i loved so much in earlier visual kei. really, i can't remember any bands with a similar sound, but i think this is a good example of vk evolution. still wish mio didn't try to sing out of his range but it's not a problem for me until dvd or any live footage comes out lol release is br00tal, according to the last trends, dark in a very vk way, not over-abusing synth, it's almost perfect imo. it would be without last two tracks. break it down is a disaster. this just shouldn't have existed. the last track 無慈悲な蒼空 is weak too, mio and issei both overdid it, the solo sounds like too much too lol. sounds like they wanted to show us all they got but it's clearly a fail lol my fav track is 寡黙と眠り翻弄 so far, i'm a sucker for gothic sound ♡

    good news but im kinda fed up with futuristic oshare already. also wtf is monyo's look lol
  13. and what if all these bandmen really leave their bands because the process of writing music is very creative and delicate thing and it's hard for a group of 4-5 people to achieve a complete agreement on musical direction....

  14. happy birthday:angely:hope lots of great things are awaiting you on your journey!

    i was going to say i LOVE paraizo until the chorus kicked in. choruses are really vk's weak spot, so many potentially good songs were fucked up :c
  16. so it's basically 6 songs and two music videos in one day. interesting

    She said "I wish a flower" She said "I'm not the moment" - Kamijo (for Versailles) translation: a certain girl expressed her wish of a flower, noting that she's by any means not a very brief period of time.

    i just dreamt that i was watching a video tape of a huge event by yellow magic orchestra in shibuya 109, and there welre ymo themselves and many other artists, dancers were voguing with fans in their hands, some artists payed tribute to hide by cosplaying him lol(i don't even listen to hide...), and grimes played a remix of "and then..." by depeche mode...wish such event was real!
  19. i see your point, these two are really similar! but still, there are such things as rip-off, inspiration or simply songwriting cliches and i'd prefer not to accuse a band of ghostwriting or stealing without having proofs. if i'm uncomfortable with what i hear, i just won't listen to the song again and forget about it in a couple of minutes

    idk about other bands but 9gbo was active for 7 years or so...quite a lifespan for a vk band imo...
  21. oh, i totally forgot about avelcain cuz i love both eve's works and avelcain concept so i feel completely comfortable with listening to the band.
  22. ok, i think i grasped the concept more or less but i can't remember any other examples of so-called idol kei bands. maybe it's because i don't pay any attention to such bands? i really couldn't care less about both a9 in their current state and golden bomber. thank you for thorough explanation! and what bands openly don't play their own music? i've heard only smth about arlequin and some other goemon label. been thinking about this some time ago too, i'm concerned about if we have bands who will be able to replace big shots such as gazette, mucc and so on? but i think it's too early to draw conclusions. also i don't agree that there were no classics released after 2013, the same chedoara drew so much attention i don't think it would be forgotten so easily. now the questions 1) if there's no proof i won't say the music was ghostwritten 2) since i didn't knew a thing about idol kei until an hour ago maybe i shouldn't talk too much about it w i find nekkichi's definition very reasonable though, since that's kinda what idol phenomenon is about. 3) idk cause i've only heard about hiring composers for arlequin and some other goemon band. 4) aaand since i've heard about arlequin having ghostwriters i was pretty much salty about them. i wasn't impressed by their music before that either, so i decided just not to fuck with them at all., but then i had to give them a listen during a trade-off and it was a solid song, not the one i would go crazy about but it was okay. and the thing i liked most in it was vocal, and i hope it was the voice of the actual vocalist ww so i'm not too hard on them now, but i'd still prefer that rock bands wrote music themselves. 5) like i said before, i don't like ghostwriting in rock music. for me rock of any kind still means some kind of rebel, and there's no rebel in playing what someone other wrote for you. not all vk bands are rock bands though, so my explanation isn't very accurate, but i hope you get what i mean. 6) i've had a break from vk for a couple of years, and still here i am, so i can say vk means really a lot for me. the reason i've returned to this mess is it resonates with me . like, i think it's pretty obvious what vk can give me what other music can't. i'm speaking not only about the visual aspect, but like have you heard something like lolita23q, nightmare, 9gbo and so on? i know vk is inspired by other genres but the final product is unique. but of course visuals are important too, not because these boys are cute but because people create a certain image, a fantasy, and i love how people are making themselves pieces of living art.
  23. ummm excuse me but could anyone explain me the idol kei thing please?
  24. huh? i thought they disbanded years ago ._. so, could it be yumehito departed from his band to concentrate on ayabie?
