#mejibray the end

[honeyed-disgraceful]

Honestly the most iconic moment was when Zap played caramelldansen right after desperate times. Everyone went from headbanging and bumping into eachother to doing cat hands. I can't stop thinking about it and I'm mad at myself for not taking videos but I always forget my phone exists at parties rip

The end, true end reflected in my pupils?

Visual Kei (V系) : My Current Hyperfixation.

I'd like to so badly talk about V系 (Visual Kei/Vkei). This subculture has been my top interest these past few months. It is SO underrated.

Context:

Visual Kei is an alternative music and fashion movement defined as flamboyant, androgynous and theatrical. The aesthetic takes influences from international and Japanese glam rock and punk rock bands.

I have just started getting into vkei. Although I am not that educated on it, I love vkei as a whole. Its fashion, the vibe it gives off, its musicians—and most importantly, its music.

Firstly, I want to talk about the FIRST EVER band that got in me into vkei: MALICE MIZER.

Malice Mizer

This band was nothing but purely majestic. The first song I heard from them was entitled, "Ma Chèrie."

MALICE MIZER was my first vkei band ever. Each and every one of their music had me ascending! The day I discovered this band was the day I found happiness.

- But sadly, they disbanded in 2001.

Here are some songs from them that I recommend:

• Aegen

• Gekka No Yasoukyoku

• Au Revoir

• Bel Air

• Gardenia

• Premier Amour

• Le Ciel

• Transylvania

Members:

Mana - Guitarist

Közi - Guitarist

Yu~ki - Bassist

Gaz - Drummer (original/first)

Tetsu - Vocalist (first)

Kami - Drummer

Gackt - Vocalist (second)

Klaha - Vocalist (last/third)

Visit: (For more context.)

Next up!

— . . Gulu Gulu

I am currently obsessed with this band. They are the first ever JROCK band I have listened to. Despite Gulu Gulu and Malice Mizer being under the same roof (vkei), Gulu Gulu features more rock and metal-like music, unlike Malice Mizer with their angelic songs.

—— Their songs portray loud music, with band vocalist—Ai—screaming his lungs out. But nonetheless, the music they make is absolutely amazing. I cannot explain my love for this band.

- But sadly, they disbanded in March 17, 2023.

Songs I recommend:

• Kaebin

• Henna Merry Go Round

• Rubra

• Living Dead End

• Akunin

• Karappo ga Chirakatta heya

• Hidarite wa Snuff Film

Members:

Ai - Vocalist

Hotaru - Drummer

Lanju - Bassist

Rito - Guitarist

Kazari - (ex-member, Guitarist)

Visit: https://vk.gy/artists/gulu-gulu/

(for more context)

DADAROMA

Dadaroma was the 2nd band I discovered right after Gulu Gulu, and I realized that their music was a bit similar. Specifically, the vocalists' voice. Ai from Gulu Gulu and Yoshiatsu from Dadaroma both captivated me with their amazing voices.

My love for this band is actually insane. Their visuals are stunning and crazed, plus their music makes me feel so lively.

- But sadly, they disbanded in March 2020.

Song I recommend:

• Risley Circus

• POINT OF NO RETURN

• MONEY

• Mr. Terrorman

Members:

Yoshiatsu - Vocalist

Takashi - Guitarist

Tomo - Bassist

Ryohei - Drummer

Visit: (for more context)

JILUKA

JILUKA is such a talented and wonderful band. I recommend this band to people who listen to heavy metal. Despite their ethereal looks, the band makes such crazy music which is why I love them. They were the first band to get me into metal + the band men are so pretty and kind.

I would LOVE to go to a JILUKA concert someday.

- JILUKA has been active since 2013.

Songs I recommend:

• S4VAGE

• VENΦM

• BLVCK

• BaLa-DeDa

• Bloodshot

Members:

Ricko - Vocalist

Sena - Guitarist

Boogie - Bassist

Zyean - Drummer

Visit: (for more context.)

A lot of vkei fans will probably say that the bands I put here are all overrated and that I'm a 'poser' or whatever, but don't think like that.

I know more bands than just JILUKA, Gulu Gulu, Malice Mizer and Dadaroma.

For instance, I listen to Ashmaze, BUCK-TICK, Mejibray, KAKUMAY & Dir en grey. I know a bunch of vkei fans know these bands and consider them popular/overrated, but there's a reason why it's popular. The music, members and the band itself is beautiful and astonishing, which is why it has earned its title as 'popular'.

Plus, as I have stated, I am still discovering vkei bands and learning more about its genres. It'd be really helpful if you guys drop some information about Visual Kei! It is highly appreciated.

I love these bands with all my heart, but please give me recommendations of bands similar to those listed above, or just drop some underrated bands I can get attached to!

Bands I recommend:

Plastic Tree

Dazzling BAD

Versailles

the GazettE

ALIENE MARIAGE

Moi dix Mois

XaaXaa

Diaura

X Japan

SHAZNA

Songs I'd like to recommend you listen:

(band - song)

Mejibray - Kore wo izon to yobu nara

Mejibray - Divergence

Mejibray - DIE KUSSE

Plastic Tree - San-Gatsu Itsu-Ka

Plastic Tree - Ink

Plastic Tree - Tefutefu

Plastic Tree - Kuuchuu Buranko

SHAZNA - Sumire September Love

SHAZNA - Melty Love

SHAZNA - C'est la vie

Moi dix Mois - Monophobia

Moi dix Mois - Lilac of Damnation

Moi dix Mois - Nocturnal Romance

Moi dix Mois - Vestige

Gulu Gulu - Kubiwa Kyouiku no Susume

Gulu Gulu - Oyasumi

Kaneto-Juusei - Kimihahonnou

Kaneto-Juusei - tokyotomushokukobayashiakihito

Kaneto-Juusei - Manatsunobiratwo

(Sorry if the name for Kaneto-Juusei songs are wrong 😔)

: By the way, I suggested songs from bands I am fond of. As I had said, I am still discovering and learning about other bands and their music. Please bear with me, everyone. :')

— The songs I recommended are just so.. amazing. I actually can't describe how much I LOVE this genre of music. I can listen to them for all eternity.

And yes, haha, I know the beef between Ai from Gulu Gulu and Chill from Kaneto-Juusei, so saying that I put Gulu Gulu next to Kaneto-Juusei may be a bit disrespectful but it's kinda silly to me. I love both bands, though I do not support or can confirm the surrounding controversies each band has. I love and enjoy them solely because of their style and music, maybe also one member who isn't as problematic as the others or the band itself.

依存を夢と呼ぶなら by tzkwym kanji & translation [ENG]

Kanji

甘い夢に夢見た、夢のような過去

過ぎ去りし年月と残された傷

アナタは今何をしいていますか？

アナタの香り追っては思い返す血の海

記憶から消えぬように目の前で死にたかった

今はそれがくだらない事だとわかりかけて

思い返すのも今は私ひとりなんでしょう？

あの日の二人写真に鍵をかける

嗚呼 あの日が続けば

嗚呼 夢から覚めてた？

嗚呼 共依存の果て

嗚呼「ごめんね」夢心地

変わらぬ依存を夢と呼ぶなら

夢の中だけはアナタに抱かれていたい

アナタがくれた最後の言葉に今も私は心を焼かれ

今でも私が見えているのならば......求め

た形に

アナタがくれた最後の言葉に今も私は心を焼かれ

今でも私が見えているのならば......

変わらぬ依存を夢と呼ぶなら

夢の中だけはアナタと堕ちてゆきたい

アナタがくれた最後の言葉に今も私は心を焼かれ

今でも私が見えているのならば......

これを依存と呼ぶなら

Translation [ENG] - Dependance is called a dream

I had a sweet dream, a dream alike to the past one

Time flow, the wounds are left behind

What are you doing right now?

Chasing your scent, I think back to the sea of blood

Remembering your vanishing gaze as all I wanted was to die

Only now I begin to understand that everything was worthless

I am the only one looking back to it, ain't I?

Locking the photo of us from that day

Ah That day continues

Ah Am I waking up from this dream?

Ah Codependence ends

Ah "I'm sorry" said in a trance

Everlasting dependence is called a dream

In this dream, I can be holding you

Your last words are burning through my heart even now

If I can still be seen... In this desired form

Your last words are burning through my heart even now

If I can still be seen...

Everlasting dependence is called a dream

I want to fall in this dream with you

Your last words are burning through my heart even now

If I can still be seen...

If you call this dependance

* a very important detail to note about the song is that dependence means a strong addiction to another person. The "dream" of the past mentioned is linking to the song これを依存と呼ぶなら of Mejibray. Also the dream mentioned in the song is, to me, nothing else but the feeling of dependence which one slowly but surely wakes up from.

[zeppelinofadown]

I'm bored :(

I'm pretty bored rn so I'm gonna list some of my favourite albums of all time, as well as my favourite tracks because I have nothing better to do :)

Some honourable mentions as well: Meteora - Linkin Park, Hellbilly Deluxe - Rob Zombie, Iowa - Slipknot, BABYMETAL, Stay Hungry - Twisted Sister, Black Sabbath

Also, I do like a lot of music so there are a lot more, but these are some I always like to visit

OK Computer - Radiohead Literally how could you not put this one. It's one of the best albums ever released. A literal journey. Favourite tracks: Paranoid Android, Karma Police, Airbag

Toxicity - System Of A Down Probably the best metal album there is, or nu metal at least. System have no bad songs and I'm convinced. Chop Suey is their most popular song for a reason. The last 30 seconds >>>> Favourite tracks: Shimmy, X, Chop Suey!, ATWA

System Of A Down More SOAD lol, this time their self titled debut album. Too underrated, people don't talk about it enough :( one of their best songs is in that album (Spiders) Favourite tracks: Spiders, Know, Sugar, Darts

Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park I just got my CD of this album today!! Again, one of the best nu metal albums. Probably the best Linkin Park album too (love their other stuff though, Minutes to Midnight >>>) Favourite tracks: Papercuts, Crawling, In The End

Nevermind - Nirvana Iconic. And amazing. And Nirvana. This album omfg I love it Favourite tracks: Come As You Are, Smells Like Teen Spirit (cry about it idc), Lithium

Hurry Up, We're Dreaming - M83 This is like the only non rock/metal album here because it's THAT good. You wouldn't believe that it came out in 2011. This album makes me feel things I can't describe, I recommend that everyone listens to it at least once in their lives. Favourite tracks: Intro, Outro, Midnight City, Wait, Reunion

Follow The Leader - Korn This is currently the only Korn album I have on CD (I just ordered the self titled one today though) and I love it. The song with Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit?? Cool af Favourite tracks: All In the Family, Got the Life

Ride The Lightning - Metallica This IS the best Metallica album and idgaf about what anyone says. This is too amazing, I bought it for my dad recently because he loves Fade To Black. Do I blame him? No. Favourite tracks: Ride The Lightning, Fade To Black, The Call Of Ktulu

Paranoid - Black Sabbath I would be crazy to not include Black Sabbath. Favourite tracks: Iron Man, War Pigs

Spit - Kittie I LOVE KITTIE SO MUCH AAGGHH. I ordered their album Oracle today, wanted to get Spit too but it's so expensive and for what??? I'm too broke for that :( Favourite tracks: Brackish, Charlotte, Paperdoll, Suck

Slivers.exe - MEJIBRAY One of the most iconic Visual Kei albums I must say. This album alone got me into vkei. Japanese metal wouldn't be the same without MEJIBRAY. Favourite tracks: Kore wo Izon to Yobu nara, CRAZED BRAIN

LOVE IS A MELODY - D&D I giggled typing this because it's so different to everything else here. D&D was a Japanese Eurobeat girl group from the 90s and their music SLAPS. All of it is on Spotify so hooray, also check out their sub-unit Aya&Chika from D&D. Kiss in the Sun is too good Favourite tracks: SUNSHINE HERO, SHAPE UP LOVE, BRAND NEW LOVE

SUPER EURO PARTY - HINOI Team Again, this is another Japanese Eurobeat girl group, but from the mid 2000s instead. They had a couple of original songs but also did covers of classic Eurobeat tunes. Nice album Favourite tracks: NIGHT OF FIRE, IKE IKE, SUPER EURO FLASH, AISHITERU

Voulez-Vous - ABBA Pretty people love ABBA Favourite tracks: Voulez-Vouz, Gimme Gimme Gimme!, Chiquitita, I Have A Dream

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd Solely because of Shine On You Crazy Diamond Favourite tracks: Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here

The Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd How could you not love this album? All Pink Floyd albums are insanely good, though Favourite tracks: The Great Gig In The Sky, Breathe (In The Air), Brain Damage

I feel like I've put enough here LMAO, also I would've put like pictures of the album covers but I honestly can't be bothered so I'm gonna leave it here but if you actually read this then thanks!! Hopefully you like these albums too :)

@ve6a told me to do this song thing of 5 songs you have on replay and i have horrible songs to name but they are all holding me together these past two months very literally (also thank you so much i love an opportunity to talk about the odd and bad shit i listen to)

honorary mention to 蜷局 by dir en grey which i remembered exists the other day and it still hits just as hard in 2023👌

[terubakudan]

I think it really says a lot when band members stick together.

Take Dir and the GazettE for instance, the former maintaining the same lineup for 20+ years and the latter close to that as well.

For sure they've argued, they've fought, but they always know what's best for the band as a whole, and in that sense, are quite considerate of their fans.

I've observed that unlike them, a lot of their Western counterparts switch up members a lot.

And this is because, in my view, they aren't as selfish and individualistic. In most Asian cultures, collectivism is the norm, which is essentially emphasis on the group instead of the self.

They don't ask for "special treatment", or complain often how they're not being paid enough. Not to say there aren't exceptions, but much less so.

There's that stereotype with Asians being doormats and let me tell you that's true to some extent xD, but that's a whole other topic.

Obviously, neither collectivism nor individualism is absolutely good nor bad, I think the best is to strike a balance between the two. Don't be so individualistic that it comes at the expense of others, and don't always put the group's needs first at the expense of your own. Easier said than done, but something we should strive for.

Being Asian myself, I naturally gravitate more towards bands like them. I appreciate and value people who know how to take care of those in their circle, and are willing to sacrifice for others, be it their family, friends, etc. People like those deserve my respect and admiration.

REQUESTS

CONDITIONS:

I don't write anything that involves female!readers -sorry ladies, I adore you and admire you but... I'm unable to do it-.

I, also, don't write things related to s*xual ab*se (this includes r*pe, s*xual h*r*ssment, and other things that are related... unless I kill the character later) and I'll never write something related to the romanticization of it, only to shame it. This means that I will never write about any type of ab*se that turns into love.

My fanfics are only about fandoms that I know of since I want to write something accurate and not butcher some story. So, depending on the fandom that you want the story about I can tell you if I can write it or not... To avoid issues I'm writing a small list at the end, still, you can ask me if I write for certain fandom and I will answer :D

I don't really write about self-h*rm, but if it's absolutely necessary I can write about it with all the proper warnings at the beginning of the story.

I can write smut, I just don't do it so often since I take a while to describe this type of thing. Still, I can do it.

My stories don't have to be about romantic relationships if you don't want to. I can also write "son!reader", "brother!reader", and others types of characters.

HARRY POTTER

TWILIGHT

Yes, I usually don't like Hip-Hop, Rap and everything around it, but I actually like some songs by pH-1 and Sik-K.

No, not anymore. I couldn't listen to DuelJewel for a while because the friendship with the person who introduced them to me ended bad. But not anymore. I usually don't try to associate songs with people, especially not songs I love because sooner or late someone will try to ruin it for you.

32. When was the last time you cried when listening to a song, if ever?

I shed some tears while listening to B.I - illa illa, but the last time I really cried was when I listened to Jeong Eunji's 'AWay'.

37. If you could travel in time and go to a concert of an artist who’s no longer alive or a band that’s no longer together, who would you choose?

My biggest priority would be to go back to see the Bee Gees live once. Best would be their concert in Las Vegas 1997, the played so many great songs there. ♥

I also would like to see disbanded groups like アンド AND -Eccentric Agent-, ScReW and MEJIBRAY.

40. Which was the best concert you’ve ever been to?

I have to take out the organization of nearly every concert because it was so awful that it damaged my mood before the concert even started. But I am still not sure if I enjoyed Pentagon, GOT7 or SF9 more, but yeah one of them.

47. Is there an artist you used to dislike but learned to like because of a friend’s influence?

Not particulary dislike, but I wasn't and still ain't much of a fan when it comes to hip-hop, but thanks to you I at least like some songs of artists like pH-1 or Sik-K.

48. Who’s an artist you think it’s criminally underrated and deserves more recognition?

To name a few: LABOUM, OnlyOneOf, Purple Rain, Shaun, Cross Gene, DKB, NATURE, NOIR

49. Is there a cover you like more than the original version?

Heart - Alone (Orginial song by i-Ten)

Owl City

53. Is there a song you hated the first time you listened to but then loved after listening to it more times?

There a plenty of songs I used to hate but I don’t love any of them. I either tolerate them, consider them alright or just like them.

57. [Send me a color and I'll tell you the first song it reminded me of.]

->💚 YooA - Bon Voyage (I don’t know why, maybe because there is so much nature in the MV); Pentagon - Naughty Boy

58. [Send me a song and I'll tell you the colors it made me think of, without looking at cover arts or music videos.] *Bonus: if you like making palettes, make one based on the song! -> Pentagon - Do or Not + OOO - Libido (I know you love this song :D)

Pentagon - Do or Not -> makes me think of rose, pink and red colors

OnlyOneOf - Libido -> makes me think of black, white and blue (you are lucky I know who you mean with OOO xDD)

61. [Make me choose between two artists/songs/albums.] -> VIXX vs. Ateez + OOO vs. Oh my Girl

VIXX vs. ATEEZ -> If you would have asked me 2 years ago I definitely would have said VIXX and even though I love VIXX and they’ll always have a special place in my heart, there is no VIXX without Hongbin for me, so I say ATEEZ.

OnlyOneOf vs. Oh My Girl -> That’s mean. Basically super cool vs. super cute, but I take OnlyOneOf.

63. Do you prefer live recordings or studio recordings?

Live recordings sure have their own charm. To see how the artists performs live and if they sound like on the CDs, but I prefer studio recordings due to clean sound of the music.

65. Are there any songs you know the entire lyrics by heart?

a-ha - The Sun Always Shines On T.V.
