Sup /mu/, what are some good visual kei bands? Currently listening to this and enjoying the hell out of it.
Shameless self-bump.
Shameless self-bump #2.
Shameless self-bump #3.
Busy day on /mu/ it seems....
>visual kei
>>38136499Art of Life is more Prog Metal than Visual Kei, which is really just hair metal's logical extreme progression. I'd look more at early prog metal bands like Fates Warning and Queensryche.
>>38136904Thanks for the advice!
bumping again
>>38136499>Implying visual kei it's a genre
cali≠gariThough I don't know if they actually were VK or they were just making fun of VK>>38136877If mallsoft and brutal vaporcore are genres, then VK is too.Doesn't mean it's a good one though
go to bed mod
Please don't put X JAPAN and chick flick bands (i.e. Gazette) in the same boat. You're hurting me.
>>38137918>tfw used to be proud to have demo tapes of the bands the members of shit gazette were in before on my harddrive
>>38137682VK is not a genre, it's an umbrella term.X JAPAN != Gazette != Antique Cafe != Malice Mizer != cali gari != BY SEXUAL != Dué le Quartz != Dir en grey.On the other side, Baroque = Lareine, Antique Cafe = Ayabie, D'espairsRay = D, etc.
>>38138091well ok
>>38138036I know that feeling, bro. I used to be an Soulseek freaky collector of 80s japanese demo tapes, omnibus and PVs (including visual kei).

>>38138207But boy did it feel good deleting the ~60GB of rare 128kbps indies VK shit I didn't even listen to because even back then I knew it's shitStill downloaded it just to have rare stuff my internet acquaintances didn't have (e.g. Mana's voice sample)
>>38138447I still have some stuff I really appreciate, like Aikaryu discography.I don't need The Candy Spooky Theater garbage anymore.
>>38138447I still have some stuff I really appreciate, like Aikaryu discography.I don't need The Candy Spooky Theater/Madeth Gray'll/Missalina Rei "rare" garbage anymore.
>>38138829Aikaryu is good though.
>>38138829Aikaryu was fun though.It's just annoying that you can't search for them without stumbling over something along the lines of >Isn't that the band the kawaii one from Versailles was in? O(≧∇≦)O (>ω<*) o(>< )oBut that is to be expected when delving into the realms of weaboo music.
>>38139212I'm thankful to all those weaboos. They showed me I was in the wrong place.
>>38139212I'm thankful to all those weaboos. They showed me I was in the wrong place.By the way, where's the "ZOMG NEW X JAPAN ALBUM WITHOUT hide-sama T-T"? I'm still waiting for it.
>>38139976I never cared for X Japan. Something about the voice put me off.Japanese Shoegaze showed me the way out of VK. I don't regret my VK phase though, otherwise I could never have known about the plenty of good artists (COTD, Shiina, goatbed, Soft Ballet, Guniw Tools, ...)
>>38140129Yeah, that's happened to me too. All that "-kei" stuff made me know about "Shibuya-kei", Pizzicato Five, Tokyo Jihen, COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS, toe., YMO, POLYSICS, etc.
