80s jpop is 🔥 why did it take me so long to get into this stuff?
-
I'm really sad Lament. stopped doing music. They were one of the best visual kei bands around imo.

Oh I guess it's temporary for some reason I was thinking they disbanded. Maybe they'll be back soon.
-
I just realized the guy in your profile pic is a neo-nazi and your cover photo is also nazi related. Big Yikes birthday boy. 😂

Yeah it's not like anyone who posted here has any say on finnish culture or memes or anything of the sort when no one can even speak the language enough to know that this is a local celebrity who was a fortune teller, an alcoholic satanist and generally a joke and a meme to this day due to his appearances on public television. Imagine if I went googling some completely obscure Kenyan figure and then went on telling people how to feel about it.

cut the bullshit everyone.
@Disposable has had this avatar for as long as I've known him and for as long as many of you have too. He probably has had the header photo for just as long. No one noticed any nazi connections until just today, and now people are getting indignant as if you knew all along? are you fucking serious?
no but like are you fucking serious? cut the public shaming.
maybe you can assassinate character everywhere else on the internet where you can still remain relatively anonymous without fear of repercussions, but not here. not as long as my name is green. use your brains people. disposable has been nothing but a good member on the forum and he has contributed far more to MH than 95% of the people reading this update. sometimes he is polemic but this is the internet, who is not? he has more than explained himself, he has not spouted nazi and/or pedo gibberish like some troublesome incel trolls we have had in the past, and i know disposable on a personal level better than most of you do. the staff is fine with both the profile picture and the banner. you see one nazi symbol and a meme and suddenly that erases 8+ years of activity? getting to know people on this forum actually means something. life is not so cut and dry. people are not so easily reduced to 140 character text bytes. learn to see the grays between the black and white.
some of you in here got twitter fingers like you're gonna go off and actually do something about it. you don't even have the ban hammer at your disposal. use the moderator function or send a PM next time if something bothers you.
and I told you people to also keep politics off this site. continue to categorize people into political parties and i will start jettisoning people off the site. try me.

Nightmare has a lot of great old indie songs like The Gazette has. Underrated stuff.

@IGM_Oficial They did once with the rerecording of all the Gianizm songs. And a kinda sub-par cover of Jishou Shounen Terrorist.

Kamijo's Eye of Providence is not that good I could deal with his english on sang but I would rather him sing from Japanese again from not on out and quit the gimmicks...
-
I'm listening to it on YT. I wish Kamijo relied more on guitars and bass and not so much on those cheap synthetic symphonic sounds. They're exhausting after a time and they don't really add quality to his music.
Japanese has its charm; no need for English; even less if he can't pronounce it decently. Part of the charm in listening to Japanese music is the language itself.

I thougt this raphael MV came out in 2015 or something but apparently it was released in 2012?
-
I feel like Kaya totally ripped off Je Te Veux on "背徳のシナリオ" Anybody else hearing it?
-
That version was arranged by Kozi, so I guess he was just feeling lazy that day lol

La'veil MizeriA has developed into a pretty good band imo.
-
a fave for sure especially after that full length

I hope they can maintain it after jaki's departure, though.
-
I love love love them. One of my current faves no doubt. Agreed with the point above, though - hope they can keep the quality up.

be careful because some people here think we have to "understand their side" and "respect their opinions" because free speech

Nightmare/ナイトメア may have gotten a lot of their popularity from Death Note but they deserve their place among the best visual kei bands of all time imo. Love this band! 😍
-
They have TOO many bangers not to be. Sad to see how they've diminished over time though...

I think they are of a pretty high "Legend Status", so to speak, at least based on their success in Japan. They probably get a little less praise then you'd proportionally expect in the western fan world.
Every time I revisit Nightmare, I'm impressed at how good a lot of their songwriting is. Particularly, from like 2004-2008 I find, every album is full of really dense, but easy to listen to, tunes. I listened to Killer Show for the first time in ages a few days ago and I was amazed how much of a melodic contribution the bass was. Great bass lines and total earworm guitar solos on every track, it's crazy. Only thing that got a little annoying was how formulaic every track felt on that album, but you've got an album like anima, in contrast, which is full of some really varied and progressive tracks.

How are you guys liking new Schwarz Stein stuff? My favorite songs - Forest of Paralysis and Wachtraum.
-
I'm actually disappointed by Immortal Verses. I think it's only marginally better than Recurrence Of Hallucination because even though we get five "new" songs, they still sound recycled and partly copied & pasted from older SS or Hora's solo material 😔 Also, Kaya is a great singer but the vocals sound a little strange in the mix at times. Vocals should never invoke the image of "guy in small room singing loudly into a mic", at least not with such persistence as is the case with this mini. Where's Schwarz Stein's ethereal vibe? It's like they lost touch with themselves. Wachtraum is the only song I didn't want to skip on first listen 😕
Hora's RESONANT on the other hand really surprised me. I was expecting the same old but he actually seems to have progressed a little sonically with this one. It's a very somber, moody, and atmospheric album. He seems to have borrowed a little from movie soundtracks and put his own spin on it which I really like (I was getting strong Disasterpiece ["It follows" soundtrack] vibes for example).

We may never get to hear Juka in a band again but I'm happy he hasn't disappeared into obscurity and he still posts karaoke videos on his instagram. I love hearing his voice again in whatever form.
