Visual Kei song of the week! By Minato_mori. 15/12/09, 05:12 pm
So i know some out there like visual kei! so i thought i would put up a thread in where you can bring one video forth A WEEK *becuse i know people that would spam this thread full of vids xP* SO CHOOSE WISELY! Although you can put a "If you like this, try.." thingy next to it just in writing, no more videos xP
And you can add a video even if you only know one song or a Visual kei intro to an anime you really like ^^ BUT POST THE PV! not the anime op or end! Also put it in a spoiler unless you are just gonna put it in a link yokay? C:
EXAMPLE and my choice for the week xP
VERSAILLES: Zombie (Live from the DVD "Chateau de Versailles")
Spoiler:
If you like this try: Versailles- Ascendead master

I've been listening to this one a lot lately o_o
Spoiler:
Alicenine. - Rainbows
I usually find it uncomfortable listening to a9 just because Shou's voice seems so strained...but he sings quite nicely in this one, imo.
Now that I think of it...they have begun to look less and less visual kei...

Yeah it's becuse they know america and everyone else are starting to catch on and now visual kei bands are aware of this and tone down to become whats cool in the western way. Little do they know people loved the old way they were C: right kyo? xP But that doesn't make me distasteful in any way C: i also have rainbows and love it ^^
My song this week, Hyde- Evergreen (english with ensemble) This was one of my favourite songs from Roentgen and just found it in english WITH AN ENSEMBLE xD... (Yeah im kinda dusty on the VK, Leave me alone xP)

Hmm yeah I think they overlooked the fact that one of the big reasons for their popularity is that they ARE different to Western bands. I still mourn for Dir en grey. Toshiya was once so pretty. ;_;

Here's mine, including lyrics X-japan I.V.
Spoiler:
Needles are piercing through my skin I'll tell you the feeling what it's like Is life just all about deception?
Please don't be a part of a fairy tale, but you're so young to play with thy own will Should I trade the breath of my life for freedom?
(In the rain) I'm calling you, dear (To find the way) Can't you see me standing right here? (Feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear (To find its way) I will give it straight from my vein
Needles are piercing through my skin I don't fear the physics life
This never meant I can't sit by They say as if it takes me somewhere Just let me swallow the faith by injection Life better be rushing to my head, my love
I've played with this game before to find a piece of my true self! I'm lost within!
(In the rain) I'm calling you, dear (To find the way) Can't you see me standing right here? (Feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear (To find its way) I will give it straight from my vein
I'm feeling my pain Do you feel where it's been Can you strip with the history of the world, when it's sad part of life? Cannot set the shadows fade, forever fades away
I'm calling you, dear. Can't you see me standing right here? Life's bleeding from fear. I'll give it straight from my vein.
(In the rain) I'm calling you, dear (To find the way) Can't you see me standing right here? (Feel my pain) Life's bleeding from fear (To find its way) I will give it straight from my vein
and yes after my parents were done watching the movie? i tried to make them let me watch the video and turn it up (Mom said NO WAY LOL)

My song for this week is D's Mad Tea Party. It doesn't have an official music video. I love the jazz/swing sound in this song. My brother, who likes their 'heavier' stuff, thinks I'm weird.
EDIT: Similar music! KuRt - Aversion Shines and Runs Away Nightmare - Dasei Boogie, The Last Show The GazettE - Namaatatakai Ame to Zaratsuita Jounetsu Dir en grey - Asunaki Koufuku, Koenaki Asu

It'll probably be on youtube. I dunno. Most people I know don't like this type of song. But the swing + electric guitars combination really does it for me.

Re: Visual Kei song of the week! By Minato_mori. 10/02/10, 04:58 am
Deargod. now is a good time to send the song i've had on repeat for a fortnight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L_ZdM7nmzo
Yes, it's another and most certainly the best versailles song. 3:16-3:21 only half a percent of hizakis solo fury from racewish solo so that it doesn't kill the slow melody but you know that he knows his stuff.
They made something new, slower and less darker and pulled it off in a time when just about all visual kei artists sound and do the same stuff, versailles only got better
And of course, it would not flourish as much from their hearts if it were not for jasmineyou. Hizaki and Teru should have spin near the end.
Best visual kei song i will ever hear this year. Im so getting jubilee

This song makes me cry every time... ;_; I also can't help but think that there's a part in the solo starting at 3:16 that sounds eerily like Endless Rain...

Visual Kei is a pretty broad term. It basically encompasses any Japanese band that puts a strong emphasis on a striking appearance, regardless of whether their sound is more pop or metal or whatever. There are bands that start off with the VK look but then tone down their appearance more (usually with age xD), whilst still maintaining the same sound.
If you are interested, Google it.

Except that Dir en grey didn't really maintain their sound. I think many of the big names have toned down their looks - a9, the Gazette, girugamesh, D=OUT is getting there, SID, Nightmare, and Vidoll. Just to name a few.
My song for this week is Versailles' The Love From a Dead Orchestra.

Sure, it's long, but it's good. And Jasmine You was still alive back then. T^T
