i wonder how long it took to get that puffy hair up......before a concert.....lol

Anchyyy · 11 Jun 2006

Hmm let me guess... 5 hours?

Hyde_is_my_anti-drug · 12 Jun 2006

Someone asked Yoshiki that once...can't remember what he said. But it must have taken FOREVER.

kotchiro · 13 Jun 2006

I like the old hair-styles very much!! It made me a little disappointed when they stopped doing those hair-styles You know, when there's a change people can't accept it in the beginning hahahaha, I love them all anyway, whatever hair style they have

Anchyyy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've never seen that pic!!!!!!!!!! Toshi with Hide!!!! OMG!!!!! For real!! Thanx~ I can't save the pic cause I don't have my own computer now~~~ Oh~~

I think it's good when artists change, if they stayed the same that'd be boring.

boobiebutt · 13 Jun 2006

is it all bands that change over time...i mean a lot of bands were visual but a lot changed into a more 'mature' look so to speak....do u guys think vk is dying off ;(

Hyde_is_my_anti-drug · 13 Jun 2006

No, I don't think it is. As long as we have Mana we have Visual Kei. Besides, Visual Kei's always faded in and out depending on what's considered the "in" thing to do but it's yet to actually die.
A lot of bands use Visual Kei to get attention and then drop it once they're signed, it's a cheap-@$$ but popular thing to do. It's not that Visual Kei's on the outs it's that a lot of bands are simply selling out (and I DON'T mean Dir en grey etc).
I think X (Japan) always was Visual Kei, just near the end they were a different branch.

Lady Blue · 13 Jun 2006

A japanese contact told me VK is dying in Jp because there are now many "fans of the face" and "bands of face". He said that that kind of behaviour just takes away credibility and seriousness to the bissness and that now is like being visual is just to stand up on the stage and look pretty. Like some-many-most female visual bands now. Of course, there's always original visuals like Diru, but haven't you notice how many bands are there that wouldn't match'em for nothing? He also said something about the scene of Visual being changed and everything, including X members change of looks and the arising popularity of the L'arc and Pierrot visuals, less overloaded but still kinda girly...

Hyde_is_my_anti-drug · 13 Jun 2006

Laruku isn't Visual and completely denies that they ever were. Pierrot...don't get me started on Pierrot. Like I said, many bands are now simply using Visual Kei as a marketing ploy and it sucks major monkey butt. It's hard to find actual Visual Kei anymore, true, but I don't think it's dying, simply in an "out" phase. In about five years another Mana will come along and bring it back to "in" status. And like I said, we still have our current Mana which means Visual Kei isn't completely lost quite yet.

And i hope it never will be!

Hyde_is_my_anti-drug · 14 Jun 2006

F**king hell yeah! :box: Visual Kei shall rule the world!! *marches around*

*cough* Aaaaaanyway, back to X (Japan)...anyone noticed how nobody's uploading any of their stuff on YouTube lately? It kinda sucks. The section keeps getting flooded by some stupid Japanese show that has "X" somewhere in the title or something. And the Yoshiki section was completely flooded by this crappy old anime made by someone else with the name Yoshiki. This is beyond annoying. I haven't even CHECKED those sections today 'cause there's frankly no point.

Anchyyy · 14 Jun 2006

I noticed that yeah I wanted to show my brother some live preformances and i was looking for the right one like 15 minutes. That's really annoying.

When will Yoshiki release VUK? ☝

I noticed that too ☝ thats really sucks X rules and deserves to be watch over and over again!!!! I wanted to upload some pv's I have but my stupid computer is acting wierd and wont let me!!! Besides Ive been looking for some lives and nothing!! honestly when I searched for them I really thought I would find videos for a whole year but NOOOO that was really sad and a great dissapointment

dniwer · 14 Jun 2006

About Yoshiki and VUK...

the rumors are FLYING about them appearing at Otakon, but I suppose we'll just have to wait for an "official announcement" from the Otakon staff regarding who the secret guest will be. If you don't know what I'm talking about check here Otakon Guessing Game

I guess I'm just rumor spreading for the time being, but it'd be AMAZING to see Yoskiki live ... I can't even imagine really. VUK did mention possibly touring this fall ... who knows ...

Anchyyy · 14 Jun 2006

Thank you sunsweet!

boobiebutt · 14 Jun 2006

omg that would rock if yoshiki and vuk was at otakon!! T_T

*bloody nose*

i think i might like feel really weird being in the presence of yoshiki....hes so....godly......like that man has an aura around him T_T

Hyde_is_my_anti-drug · 14 Jun 2006

I think I would die of a sensory over load if I actually saw him Live. I mean, I consider him one of my Heroes/Idols so it'd be like seeing WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE to me. I'd about die. But that would be SO COOL if they performed at Otakon...except for the fact that I can't go to Otakon

God, Violet UK's album is like the album that will never be released. Hasn't he been working on it since 2000 or something? I know the original release date was set for 2001!!! :bikkuri:

boobiebutt · 15 Jun 2006

the longer we wait the better it will be? his myspace says hes been working on it constantly...

And another one it was in September 2005 or something i think... He is like never going to release it!

Hyde_is_my_anti-drug · 15 Jun 2006

I think a lot of people will die of shock when the album is actually released.

kotchiro · 15 Jun 2006

Nahhh I think Ive heard of Violet UK since 1997!!! ( it should be started at 1996!!!!I forgot, or somewhere before or after Dahlia Tour ) And there was a news from my Japanes friend that he lost his Demo of the album once!! that news was like 2 or three years ago...... This Violet UK is too long long long that I can't remember the date, year or month about any details of it anymore And I heard like he has more than 70 songs!!!!

Hyde_is_my_anti-drug · 15 Jun 2006

Wooooooooooooooooooow. ☝

arahja · 16 Jun 2006
