he's blacklisted in most of visual kei/rock live houses so there's no places where he can play as a band

Did we ever figure out why exactly? I don't understand how you can get blacklisted from all the live houses in japan. I still feel like he's one of the best visual kei vocalists around if he's allowed to create and prosper.

I prefer deep songs 

Sometimes about fantasy but still close to emotions 

Honestly as long as its lyrics are touching I don't mind if its rap, folk, or alternative

alternative is a bit of a vague rock genre to me have you expanded your musical tastes in rock or metal outside of visual kei? If you're unsure what kind of rock or metal you like it makes it very hard to recommend stuff since visual kei fans aren't a monolith and we all sorta like our own stuff. As for me I really enjoy Kamijo's bands and stuff like malice mizer, moi dix mois, UnsraW, metis gretel, nightmare, etc. 

1: Yukiko Okada

2: KAMIJO

3: Malice Mizer

4: Hiromi Iwasaki

5: UnsraW

Good

I wonder if this is still happening fucking covid-19. 

Considering changing my tags to this for last.fm lol

I don't really like modern visual kei bands that much even the so called "good" bands like kizu or DIMLIM so I've already sort of turned over a bit. I noticed that my listening habits were getting stale and that my last.fm scrobbles were getting lower and lower every year so something had to change. Then I found 80s jpop and my interest in Japanese music has risen quite substantially again I think. I hope we see another western boom again in the scene soon but who knows if I will even enjoy the music if and when that occurs. 

Too manufactured and I don't respect the industry. I prefer an industry where the artists have creative freedom it has nothing to do with whether I like or dislike pop or rap music or anything of the sort. I can respect artists in any genre if I feel like what they're doing is genuine and heart felt. 

Not sure if it's as good as the original but it improves on some things! This is awesome. 

I wish he'd release the music digitally or by CD or something and not only through youtube. 

I wonder if covid-19 will get in the way of HGP and Versailles revivals I hope not. Of course safety comes first though.

This type of shit infuriates me so much no one truly gives a shit though when it comes down to it. 

I think you would like heavier DADAROMA tbh. 

Nice 3 headed monster there I look forward to it.  

I'm a kamijo fan and I agree it would be a buzzkill. I feel like people wanting this are not expecting Versailles since hizaki grace project had a sort of different sound to them with juka and the others. Just saw that flyer and other announcements kinda doubt HGP would also have kamijo on vocals with Versailles coming back. 

Cool outfit.

Reversed it with audacity sounds good.

Seeing as how this is basically hizaki's solo project from years ago he could have a completely new singer too even. Maybe someone active in the scene. 

Kaya would be great but I wish juka could come back just briefly... I guess if he's truly retired then so be it. 

My impression is that it's a lot better than the last single. Crimson Family might be the most beautiful solo song of his I heard so far.

This band sucks so much dick. 

 

"Nega" is your typical mediocre mid-2000's VK band that thought aping Dir en grey was a good idea. They're second-rate. I put them a step below Sadie and 12012 in terms of unoriginal cringe; but it's close.

Nah Nega is not really similar to dir en grey at all other than having some heavy songs... 

Crimson Family sounds good but I don't like the others. 

He's never going to sing in Japanese ever again  Let alone reform DIO. 

Sounds too weird for me. Man starwave is such garbage production wise. I miss undercode bands. 😢

Shitty synth to cover up bad/lazy instrumentation
