  1. How would you do it?

    If I started a VK band... I woulnd't be in it for a start, LOL. Female members are band death, unless they can totally convince everyone they're either a man or gayO_o;; What you need is 5 of the hottest guys under the age of 20 who are at least vaugely competant at their instruments and who...
  2. U.S. Tour cancelled!

    Mana just posted a message in English and Japanese about the tour cancellation in his diary... June 2nd 2006 Disappointment The US TOUR planned for this summer has been cancelled. It would have been my first American concert and I was in great anticipation for it, so I am very...
  3. Kozi: in-store signing (7 events)

    I'll be going to the Osaka one if I can get a CD/ticket or however they're doing it. Sometimes for instores there are a limited number of tickets that you can only get by going to the store to buy the CD... But I'm sure me or one of my friends here will manage to go! Wah, I wish he was going...
  4. Recent Band Breakups

    VK bands, even ones that have gotten a decent fanbase, rarely last longer than a year or two. About half the bands I first saw in Japan a year ago have broken up. The reason is usually money, or the members of the bands not getting along (musical differences etc...). It's not a career you can...
  5. J-Rock Ingredients

    I just want to say I find this discussion of music quite interesting, and I'm glad someone is actually thinking about it! I've had a lot of trouble trying to define just what constitutes VK or J-Rock music, because in some ways it all sounds the same, and in other ways each band is different...
  6. The end of Blood =(

    I was just getting into their music too... saw them once live and liked their songs a lot, but I guess seeing as Kiwamu IS Blood, he'll keep it up eventually.
  7. Kaya and Hora session album "another cell"

    He's probably doing it that way because bank transfers don't cost anything in Japan, and you can do them really quickly from your computer or an ATM. Now would be a good time to get your friends in Japan to order for you, as international bank transfers are really expensive. I haven't seen a...
  8. What Jrockers Do You Think Can't Sing?

    There are too many to count! There is definitly a devide between singers who can sing magnificently, those who are interesting, and those who just make it and and are propped up by their bands. I think it's because the vocal is the face and personality of the band usually, so for the most part...
  9. Recommend some junk.

    My personal favourites (who actually have CDs you can buy in stores^^;;): Nana<-- Awesome music! You can download some samples on their site. Mask <-- Michiru's band- very cute and have very listenable music Himitsu Kessha Codomo A <-- if you like genki electronic music with dark depressing...
  10. Visual bands losing their image: How do you feel about it?

    I agree with Inertia- on older guys, the whole girly make-up thing just look WRONG! By the time a VK guy hits 25 he starts to lose the youthful cuteness that let him get away with the eyeliner and PVC he had before. Also, I can see how after so many years of doing make-up, guy would get tired of...
  11. Sulfuric Acid!

    I saw Sulphuric Acid last week... Hizaki is a very convincing cross-dresser! I was a bit far back from the stage, but my friends who were closer said he looks just as good up close. And they should know, because he jumped on them, LMAO! But yeah, he looks like such a pretty princess, but he...
  12. cities of japan

    I live in Osaka, so I'm a bit biased. It's crowded, dirty, and the people can be pretty rude. But I hear it's better than the other cities... Really, if I had a choice I would go for Kobe because it's only a 25min train ride from Osaka and the air and atmopshere is much cleaner. More...
  13. Current Loli culture in Japan?

    Meh, gothic and lolita fashion is alive and well. People tend to wear nothing but brand-name clothes these days, though... I hardly see any hand-made stuff. Street fashion is tending more towards decora in my town, though. Though really, it kind of both depends on the bands people follow as...
  14. Puppet Mammy <333

    I saw Puppet Mammy a few weeks ago. I really liked them! The new vocal was a bit... well, probably not used to playing live. He fell to his knees during on song, and didn't get back up again, despite the fact that no-one in the live house except the front row could see him! Their bassist is...
  15. Band Kisses...

    According to live reports and interviews in Malice Mizer the only two kisses I know of were Gackt X Kami and Kozi X Mana. A few weeks ago, Kisaki kissed Riku, fufufuXD Not many bands do it any more, or at least not on a regular basisT_T
  16. What dir en grey said on a interview about Moi dix Mois/Mana

    You know, I personally think that they were laughing at the question, not Moi dix Mois! Seriously, if you were Dir en Grey and someone suddenly compared you to Moi dix Mois, wouldn't you find that funny? I mean, the interviewer obviously brought it up because they can't see the difference...
  17. favourite angura-kei band?

    My favourite band could be angura-kei and I'd never know it. It's one of those genres I just don't get.
  18. Androgeny

    It's not a trend- people here just happen to look like that. Several times a day I see someone who I'm not sure is male or female, and it kinda scares me. Especially if I think they're hotO_o;; I have actually met and talked to some people (J-Rockers included) who I am still not sure if they...
  19. Ugliest J-Rocker

    Uglist? I hereby nominate: Kiwamu from Blood (Ewww) Ucchi from Egurigori (Double-eww!) Miyabi from Gellonimo (Ugly and his music sucks!) Frypan from The Pumpkin Head (He might be hot under that clown make-up, but for now he still scares the hell out of me!)
  20. Ugliest J-Rocker

    Michiru is the owner of the Loop Ash record label, and currently the second guitarist in MASK: http://www.loopash.com/mask/. He kind of fits into the category of "man-lolita", which is an aquired taste (i.e. Rame, Emiru, Aya, Bou, etc...) You know, he wouldn't be that ugly if he didn't stick his...
