En el 2018 fui a Mexico a ver a Plastic Tree, que buenos recuerdos! nadie mas por aqui estuvo en ese concierto?

Angelo will hold an acoustic concert on June 7th through a platform called Zaiko, tickets are 1,800 yen and the page seems very friendly for overseas fans, I was able to buy my ticket without any issue, it has many payment methods, etc. I'm not sure how the quality will be, but we'll see, so far I'm glad this page is friendly and I didn't have to use any strange tricks to register my account xD nor struggle finding my country in the list (surprisingly this happens a lot to me in other pages..). If you can, please support the band and join the concert! https://angelo.zaiko.io/e/AcousticLiveStreamingNeophase

He does sound great in concert, I went to a couple of concerts from this tour (not this one though) but the ones at the beginning in smaller live houses, and I can confirm his voice is amazing during concert without the production help or whatever edition they do later.

I agree, this concert is a masterpiece, the sound and camerawork is perfect. ホログラム is very emotional as well, its performed beautifully. Make sure to watch it and subscribe to their channel they have been doing a lot of activity in Youtube, Kirito is doing Youtube broadcast almost every week now on Saturdays, last saturday all the Angelo members were there.

I'm playing Tales of Berseria right now, I'm reaching the final part, been playing 80+ hours by now, what a great story, super fun combat system, great characters, this game is a masterpiece.

I'm very impressed so far with Jedi Fallen Order, it's very nice ^^

I'm not exactly sure what people are sad about, there's plenty of good jrock music out there, vkei too, there are some decent bands, newer and older that still remains. In regards to Japan making things popular, as some people mentioned before, the Japanese artists are starting to take advantage of twitter, youtube, instagram, spotify, apple music etc. that is recent, I mean, even Arashi did history last month I think (or november) with the opening of all the SNS accounts, they even have a Netflix documentary with subtitles in all language. As Japan opens more to the new ways SNS works, the artists will have more reach to overseas audiences, big acts like Arashi will be the ones to create interest in global audiences to look at what Japan is doing. Our generation back in the 90's were used to investigate/dig more, but young people nowadays do not investigate.. they just consume what's in front of them in the SNS, so it's important for Japan to follow that transition, even if it's a bit late. But the bands are still there doing good music, so we can just enjoy it while it exists the major income for bands is concerts, and all the active bands do a lot of touring around Japan, that is enough for have sufficient earnings and continue their music activities. Also, Japan is the 2nd biggest music market, they really don't need the global market that much, so it's still a good thing to see what they are doing to penetrate SNS more, even when they don't need it.

I absolutely love everything about Jpop and I don't like Kpop at all, so those arguments about being a rock fan and hating any forms of pop is a silly thing. Kpop is just bad, and that's it.

I really love the sound of the samples, I'm very impressed by SCENE, JIHAD, 止まない雪 and HYBRIDCENTURY , and of course Mephisto, but overall they all sound pretty nice ^^ I am looking forward to it. It's funny how everyone bashes Kirito here XDD keep your personal grudge somewhere else and enjoy the album LOL feels forever until next week sigh

Kpop? I hate it.

Glad to see some conversation about the awesomeness of this song ^^ Kirito mentioned in the live broadcast yesterday that the song is composed by Karyu, he's a genius, and I like his hair on the video too xD Don't miss the "A Monologue by Mephisto" brothers' quarrel version XD

The more I read everyone's comments, the more I understand why you guys can't never listen to Angelo properly, everyone is just bitter about Pierrot disband and can't move on and accept the fact that Angelo is a different band with different ideas, even if you insist on complaining, Pierrot is in the past now and it will not come back. It's a very selfish way of thinking, Kirito and his bandmates are doing the music they want to convey now, and they deserve respect and for people to have proper listen to the material they are doing today. I guess the Japanese fans are more understanding because their concerts are always full and with great energy, and I don't see this whining when I go there. About Angelo favorite album that someone asked previously, it's difficult for me to choose between PSYCHE, RETINA, FAITH and CORD, these 4 albums are absolutely amazing, great balance, music and furthermore lyrics, Kirito's lyrics have gotten better and better, he's a more mature man now and we can see that in his lyrics, specially in PSYCHE that focuses on leaving the past behind and looking toward the future (but American Pierrot fanboys will not bother to read these lyrics and will be in denial mostly) XD Don't get me wrong, I started as a PIERROT fan too, and I started listening to them around 1998-99, I've been in this for a while. But I don't like to live in the past, and I embrace the good things that the present have. And I love the new song "A Monologue by Mephisto" as others mentioned, there is a strong change when it transitions to the chorus, but that contrast sounds amazing, they do this very often, and the chorus gives that deep ethereal feeling that Kirito knows very well how to do ^^ there's a particular guitar sound in there I like very much, the voices harmonies give a rich sound too, and the drumming..!! Takeo has gotten so good, he has become a master at those off beat rhythms, the guitar solo is very cool too, simple but nice just before the a capella part, great way to introduce to it, I can't wait to listen to this song in concert ^^

your comments sounds like the ones from those who haven't taken the time to listen to Angelo music properly and just keep whining about Pierrot being better

Yes, I completely feel that way, why the surprise? I don't understand why people like to live in the past, but to each their own xD And the song titles are indeed very nice, regardless if you want to compare that to Private enemy or whatever other past era of pierrot

I'm SOOO looking forward to this, the song titles look interesting ^^ Angelo albums are much better than PIERROT, they have surpassed that a long time ago. I'm so happy that they will include footage of the "making" of the PV, haven't seen that in a while, since Calvary I think. The album covers look badass too, and the song titles very interesting.

Nice! I hope they sell in any normal shop like amazon cd japan etc

I also had a bad experience with Japan discoveries, I ordered something that was expensive, and the order appeared in progress or something like that, then months went by and there was no update, no shipping, no nothing. I sent them several emails asking for status, and then after like 5 months (i was patient lol) of multiple messages without response, several posts in their facebook page, absolutely NOTHING. So I filed a complaint via eBAY and got my money back. After that I'll never order again through that site.

I think there's also a time factor, in my case I only listen to Japanese music nowadays, any genre within Japanese music (pop, edm, rock, visual kei), newer western music has disappointed, and it's not like I have a lot of free time to listen more of it, i am busy with work and family, therefore japanese music is that has proven to be the best for me, so I only listen to that and don't waste my time with music from other countries xD even if people hate me for that or think i'm close minded or whatever, that's their problem, i am happy the way i am and if the other people have a lot of free time to worry about what I listen or not listen to, then they should be very happy to have enough free time for that LOL. Just to give an example.

Welcome! nice initiative to start a VK channel!

Para mi es raro encontrarme con gente de habla hispana que le guste el vkei, o música en japones en general, para mi son como especies en extinción.. hhehe por eso cada vez que hay actividad en este segmento del foro me quedo asi como que oh.. la dimensión desconocida ha vuelto..! serán reales? XD

It sounds okay, not that impressive, but it's good.

You can find several of them in youtube under the name: Plastic Tree 土曜プラトゥリ劇場 It's also included in a limited DVD they released at some point, but at least you can watch some of the episodes in youtube ^^ the episode titled オナン蜥蜴 is awesome xD the villian is in love with Ryutaro LOL

I really love the Plastic Tree theater detective series with Ryutaro playing as "Akechi Ryutaro" where he converts into zombie detective xD so priceless. Moon Child was also a great movie.

This is a very good article ^^ thanks a lot for writing, my favorite Malice Mizer era is of course with Gackt, and I've been following his solo career since then, I think Gackt was not able to show his true talent while he was in MM and he wanted to be the leader of his career/musical project. When you have two people like that who have the strength to be a leader, like Gackt and Mana, it's better for them to be separated and form their own projects, two alphas cannot rein the same group xD it's basic math/nature hahaha

Sadie is on hiatus? Hope you feel better soon and come back later, don't let people's comment get in the way of your love to the fandom ^^
