is it all about the visual?

jeez thread disappear so damn fast on this thing! :o
Anyway, I just felt like taking a random prod at anyone who thinks too many people like bands just for their looks :eek: I present Yuana from Kagerou, they are a damn good band. :LOL:

 
i'm confused about that picture kinsao, is he meant to look bad in the visual but still play good or, is he meant to look good and still play good music... not saying he doesn't of cors! cause he does!!
 
is it wrong of me to think he doesn't look horrid in that outfit? 😊
and do you think he looks horrid all the time? or just in that picture...
i think he looks good in a suit

and i think he has nice legs too...
 
Don't know. Haven't seen him much. However, he doesn't appear to be among the most gorgeous of JRockers...☝
 
Yeah, Horizon, you have it right.
Yuana is absolutely NOT good-looking, although there are a number of pics where he's kind of made to look cute.
But their music still kicks ***. :-) And plenty of people love 'em.
 
before i get pounced on for posting pictures and commenting on how i like the visuals of a jrocker in this thread then kagerou have great music and i like them even if they were to dress in potato sacks and eat out of bins all day....

I think we all feel like that about bands we like... yes? :?
 
i find strange people good looking, its a habit of mine lol. i find robin williams attractive and apparently he's not (who constantly mock me for it). and yes we do *smiles* but some people may think we don't, grr.
back to the discussion, i think maybe that diru have changed their look slightly because there are becoming more hardrocker teenagers these days ('goths' or whatever you call the black-wearing-satan-worshipping groups of people for example) and this is an important age group in the music industry. or, diru may have just simply 'grown out' of the vk stuff. not in a puberty kinda way, just that they simply prefer to dress how they currently are nowadays.
also, the west doesn't really have male artists that dress up the vk way so america may just see it as 'drag queens' or the like. which may not be good for diru's reputation when they come more and more into western countries.

the people that immediately switch off to vk bands before listening to them are quite selfish i think. just because you don't like the look of them your willing to throw them out the window? pffft. i didn't quite like the look of Road of Major when i first saw them but i took the chance and downloaded a song of theirs and now i can't get enough of them! and their looks are growing on me too! instead of the first impressions of one of them being chubby and one of them looking creepy with the frame of jack skeleton off nightmare before christmas, its now 'squeezable' and more 'woody off toy story'. so i think that shows that its not all about visuals. but this is certainly becoming an interesting thread, keep the opinions coming!
 
err..... Yuuana.... can be EXCEDINGLY gogeous btw.... i don;t have any pictures.... but he looks VERY good in traditional visual....

i just wanna bring a point into this thread...

*ehem(*

Alice Nine... i believe they are a PERFECT example of 'is it all abut the visual'

ofcause, i can't comment because i heared their music BEFORE i saw them... and liked their music enough to look them up... but i think if it had been the other way arround... i would have been dissapointed...

also... i'm sure a LOT of people would look at Art School or even Jinkaku Radio, and think.... not interested... but they are two od my all time favorit bands EVER.....

Jinkaku Radio are so talented it should be like... illegale or something (especailly hen there's just the 2 of them... the other 2 members are just support... so Naoki and Yuukie write EVERYTHING)
 
Hey 🙂 I'm downloading a Jinkaku Radio from torrent right now! eeee! 😄 I'm ridiculously excited - I only have those 2 songs you sent me, Furan.

I already commented about Alice Nine in the 'prettiest' thread... I never heard them yet... but a lot of people seem to think the same about them.......

but... there are a ton of bands and musicians popular that aren't visual... Laruku aren't visual... and Gackt... and MUCC ( :? )... and Diru no more...

to be honest, I think threads about individual bands always sink quicker than 'general' threads like 'prettiest' or whatever... simply because they are more limited... and if you don't know and/or like the band you don't tend to post much comments...

I mean... there are threads about visual bands that also disappeared pretty quickly... like pk's Mar'derayla one... she pulled that back up... but it's hard to find their stuff... so the interest drops.

I think I said the same sort of thing before here, but better. :sorry:

Oh, and I have to say... awwww... Yuana... I posted some pics of him in the Kagerou thread where he looks exceedingly cute...... and one of them that makes me dissolve... I am not saying he's ugly.... but he is not I mean classically VK 'good-looking'. I mean to say, I find strange people good-looking............... holy ****! - I've just realised my bf looks scarily like Yuana....... 😲

I'll shut up now. 😌
 
lol
aww, i'm glad you found more Jinkaku ^.^

my Kagrra, thread sank right away... there were... em... 2 posts made... and it just whent *blows rasberry*

it wasn't untill a LOT of obsessing and manic posting on the 'pritties' thread, and sending random albums to verious people who became kinda interested that i got them to a stage where i thought people would partisapate in their thread....

(ofcause it's sitting on the second page right now... :eek:
 
I think Yuana looks good ☝
I haven't listened to Kagerou for ages though.. I just have some tapes that a Japanese girl made for me :LOL: But I kinda lost interest in them a while ago.

Gackt may not be visual anymore but we can hardly say that he isn't popular for his "looks"... 😌

And where is the Kra thread?! WHERE IS THAT NOW, I ASK YOU! *goes psycho*

Anyways. This is one of my favourite bands, Janne Da Arc:

They're not all that good looking, but their music is really good :haihai:
(although maybe not so much lately :() And they've been around for quiet some time, but are still kinda unknown to a lot of people... ☝ I always get the feeling it's because they're not all pretty, so people don't give them a go.. :eek:
 
I've tried Janne da Arc, but I only got one song of them. :( I... kinda liked the song... but it didn't, like, make me fall over with its amazingness... if you know what I mean... I really need to hear more of their music before I can tell... I mean, when I listened to my first song of Diru I didn't like the song much... so I left it far too late before I listened to their other, fantastic songs 😌 Mustn't make that mistake again! 😌 But... lol, yeah, Janne da Arc is just one of those bands that seem to get stuck on my "to find" list... :(

☝ People like Aushvitz, and they aren't really 'pretty'...

The one on the right has a nice smile. It makes me want to smile, too! :-)
 
I have a couple of Janne Da Arc (isn't that improper French by the way...?) PVs and, from what I can tell, they're amazing. I just don't have anymore of their stuff is all...

My problem is always that I just don't hear about a band or I just don't have enough. -pouts-
 
Well.. if either of you want, I can upload their stuff. I don't have all their CDs on my computer... but most of them :p

Janne seems to hide their really great songs inside their albums and don't release them as singles... I don't know.. It's like most of their singles are the really 'pop' songs.
Although.. I was a bit disappointed in their last album (I didn't even buy it yet :eek: )
My fave album is GAIA :haihai:

I don't know about their name ☝ I think it's supposed to mean "joan of arc" :?
 
I feel guilty when I upload MP3's, so, yeah...😌

Thanks for the offer though.

As for their name, I thought that, in French, vowels aren't allowed to be, errrr...'Together'?

For example, L'Arc~en~Ciel. It's technically Le Arc en Ciel, but that's improper because 'le' ends with a vowel and 'arc' starts with one, so the 'E' gets replace by the coma-thingie. So, shouldn't Janne Da Arc, be Janne D'Arc? ☝
 
In French, Joan of Arc is "Jeanne d'Arc" in fact.

ooooo, it would be nice if you could upload some good songs by them - I only have Paradise. :p
 
Well.. I don't know French at all.. so yeah..
But when written in Japanese katakana it's written like "Jannu Daruku".. which sounds like a more correct way? But it's printed on a lot of their CDs in roman letters like "Janne Da Arc".

Oh and.. I will upload some stuff soon :p
 
Thanks so much! 🙂

Maybe it's just a bad romajification, then... :? In fact, there is no French word "da" (used in this way...)
 
Yeah, I think so... Or perhaps they had to change the spelling for copyright or some reason like that..

just a note about the uploads... some of the songs may be in .m4a format which some people had trouble playing when I uploaded songs before.. is it ok for you?
