When I suddenly remember that there still isn't any Starwave Records artist that reached at least a minimum level of relevance in the scene, I question myself how is it that this label still exists, and why would an artist decide to get signed to a house who hasn't managed to put out any decent production and market strategy for any of its members...
-
I'd assume it's partially because most of them aren't going to get signed to any other labels, and partially because most Starwave Records artists get to go overseas at some point. In just the past few years, THE SOUND BEE HD went to the US and Mexico, Mikansei Alice went to Europe, and Scarlet Valse were set to go to Europe before COVID too.
If you're a basically unknown VK band with 20 fans that dreams of performing in America or Europe, it's not the worst move you could make.

brunette curly haired anime villains. I can only think of two so far - Naraku from Inuyasha and Muzan from KnY. Any others? I’m gonna start manifesting more of this archetype into existence.

Do you know some couples that're members in Japanese bands? I was thinking that I know some in international bands but not a single one in Japan

The two vocalists from Czecho No Republic are married. The singer and bassist from the indie rock band Suichu Blanco are also married.

Does anyone have any HYDE song recommendations? I see him in like.....a couple of weeks and idk what to expect.
-
From his older stuff, I really like Season's Call, although I don't think he would play it.

I haven't really been following his recent work that closely, but I thought MAD QUALIA and FAKE DIVINE were pretty solid. I'm sure he'll play those since they're some of the lead tracks from his latest album.-

Acid Black Cherry "Chou";
Dezert's "Ikaiyou to Rousseau no sakkaku";

Has he quit being a visual kei act!?

Can someone please recommend me some good Larc en Ciel and Vamps songs?

"Blurry Eyes" is a must for L'Arc. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/4142117/l_arc_en_ciel_blurry_eyes/
I'm really partial to the entire Tierra album, tbh. Especially "In The Air":

people tweeting about ellegarden,whats going on ??

This has probably been asked, but can anyone name VK bands that got better towards the end of their career? (Not counting bands that were only active for like 2 years)
I'm trying to honestly assess if I have an everlasting nostalgia hard-on, or if bands just tend to lose that youthful passion they needed to once prove themselves once they've already made it. With literally every longer-lasting VK band I like, I favor their earlier/first releases (Versailles, Vidoll, Matenrou Opera, Mucc, Nightmare, Kagrra,, 12012, Ayabie, Miyavi, blah blah).
I feel like the GazettE might get mentioned, and I fucked with them for the most part until DIM, but as I get older I find myself caring less about their high-budget modern metal sound (which they continue to pursue, arguably quite well?) in favor of many of their early recordings that may have been slightly rough around the edges in some way, but oozed with passion and desperation. This all despite the fact I discovered GazettE around the stacked rubbish area and didn't care for much before it until many years after.
Thoughts????? DO bands ever get good™ again??
-
Maybe xTRiPx ? Could never get into their earlier stuff, but I really love their last few releases.

I'm not even canadian, and I'm mad that Anime North won't host a Vkei band this year, and do an anisong band instead.
Literally every other convention does anisong. Let us have this one
-
AN has brought more than one band for most of the years I've gone (I think the only recent exception was the year with just Matenrou Opera?), so there might still be some VK. Honestly, even if it's just BACK-ON this year, we got metronome last time, so I can't say it bothers me.
Yeah, Avanchick definitely went to the US. There's like a full video of it up on Tokyo in Tulsa's Youtube. As far as I know, NOAH never went overseas as a solo artist, he just started selling some solo merch overseas through Chaotic Harmony.
It does seem like there's been a bit of a decline, but there are definitely still a few other conventions in North America that usually bring VK bands.

What's your FAVORITE release of this year? That one that will stay on your playlist for years to come? I need reasons to believe music isn't DED.
-
There are definitely other releases that I've enjoyed, but, to be perfectly honest, FABLED NUMBER's "ILLUMINATE" album is the only one that's really left a lasting impression so far this year.

Kizu's first oneman at Ikebukuro Edge is sold out (capacity 250) - this is pretty impressive!
-
They're saying they got 1300 applications for tickets, which is pretty crazy if the venue capacity was only 250.

why do all Starwave pvs look like that???????

Who's got 'best look'(s) in VK in 2017 thus far? Can be based on level of outfitting and makeup app. (in addition to straight weirdness as when this is normally mentioned lol). I clearly have a ba.Futaba(balalaika) thing going on, the band's media pages have filled my feed with his grace for months now so I am giving the man FULL credit. FolkS?

Is Lm.c still active? Haven't read or seen anything about them in a very long time.

Wow... what's with this ex-member? Does he/she have a stick up his/her butt?
