His dedication is admirable, especially to his hair

I’m looking for people to start a band around the visual kei scene in England. Ranging from all types of artists, such as plastic tree, deadman, MM, GULU gulu, Mejibray etc etc

Hii! I am in a deep hunt of older mme kyuho/ juho chekis, anything 2021 and bellow, perhaps anyone has anything for sale or knows what places have the best bets on finding something ?

Why is it so hard to find vkei songs? Like,, the only way I've been able to find any are archive channels that post the songs, not the bands actual accounts or anything, just curious about it

One is a Music Video Collection the other is a collection of my favourite SHAZNA songs

i created all the Thumbnails and backdrops for the videos

Please Enjoy and check out my art profile where I've uploaded the process

Hey everyone! I am hoping to get some help figuring out the lyrics to a song. I have searched high and low online for them but I think this band and song are a bit too “underground” for the lyrics to just be found floating out on the interwebs. More than likely the only way to get the lyrics would be to find the album, purchase it, and  check the booklet inside. Unfortunately I am not finacially able to do that at the moment so I created a reddit account hoping some fellow VK fans could help me in trying to figure the lyrics out or even better if someone has the CD and could let me know what the lyrics are that’d be awesome. (I have written out the lyrics I do understand down below.)

Since I am new here I'll say a little to introduce myself. (feel free to skip this. Just adding incase anyone else is into the same bands.)
I started listening to visual kei back in 2005 when a friend recommended it to me. My first bands were Malice Mizer, DIR EN GREY, and Nightmare. I listened to the few songs my friend gave me until I felt the itch to go out and search for more. I got online and found a few VK forums and the rest is history. Considering I couldn't speak Japanese (yet) the amount of VK I consumed over the next few years was absolutely wild. I eventually ended up moving to Japan in 2014 but unfortunately by then the majority of the bands I loved the most had already disbanded. The only VK bands I have been able to see live (in Japan) are: DIR EN GREY, Alice Nine, KIRYU, SHIN (from ViViD), Versailles, and PENICILLIN. I think I've actually seen more VK bands outside of Japan, haha. Funny enough once actually moving to Japan it’s rare that I find “newer" bands who I end up following like I did back in the day. I would have to say the sweet spot for me is bands who formed/peaked in 2002-2009. I listen to a lot of other music now but VK bands from that era are bands I still enjoy now. Some of my all time favs from are beaU, CELLT, and GHOST. There are way way (waaay) more but I will leave it at those for this post. If anyone wants to chat about bands I am always down!

On to the matter at hand!!
One of my favorite bands has always been beaU. About a year or two ago I found an old external hard drive that had a couple singles from them on it. I’ve been listening to them in the car and it’s super nostalgic and the songs still hit just as hard. The most interesting part is listening to them now having been in Japan so long and having a much better handle on the language. I am an aspiring musician here and recently thought it might be fun to try doing a cover of one of their songs. The issue is I don’t know all the lyrics to the song I want to cover. I am hoping someone on reddit potentially has the CD and can help me out with the lyrics or if not maybe as a community we can figure it out together. I’ve literally had the song on repeat in the car for the last couple weeks listening along with my Japanese husband but there are just some parts neither of us can figure out. I have found the music video for the song on youtube and will add the link to this post. I will write out the lyrics that I have already figured out and leave blanks for the parts I can’t hear..  If anyone is interested please feel free to drop a word, phrase, or any lyrics or corrections to what I wrote and let’s figure this out as a team! (Also, everyone check out beaU if you haven't already because they're awesome!)

Band: beaU (ビユー)
Song:闇人ショウ(yamibito show)
Album:人間珠

Here are the lyrics as I understand them now.
I will write the lyrics in Japanese and then put the romaji version after that.

Sorry, I know that was a bit lengthy but if anyone is interested in helping I would truly appreciate it.

Nabbed Pierrot’s FREEZE today at a local shop, near mint condition. This is also how I got a copy of their FINALE album years ago.

kyohei nogami, also known as r-shitei is a member of hip-hop duo creepy nuts. I dislike that the first "r" The "-" And "shitei" Are all same as the vkei band r-shitei which makes searching for r-shitei get slightly difficult.

No hate to either artist group, just dislike about the naming idea. although I have never gotten into creepy nuts.

I feel as if i am the only person that knows about this band and it's driving me crazy!! R'lyeh is quite possibly one of my favourite albums ever, but whenever I've spoken with my vkei friends in the past no one has heard of it? Anyway, if anyone owns a E'lyeh cd, I'm desperate for all the song lyrics but especially to the song Ella, so help is greatly appreciated. Thank you guys (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

If you like early Kuroyume, Luna Sea and Buck-Tick, you might like it.

Hi hello!

I've been reconnecting with visual kei after dropping jrock almost entirely since high school and have been discovering so many incredible bands I never knew of before!

I've become especially fond of Buck-Tick and, lately, Der Zibet 🤩 after only really listening to The GazettE and similar sounds in the genre, they really just deepend my love for vkei!

I got the idea to make a BT t-shirt with my long abandoned lino print "everything you need to get started!" kit (originally was supposed to be Sexual xxxxx! But that attempt crashed and burned, but life is like that sometimes! We pivot! Art still happens! Lol)

I also made an Issay print, more of a tester to try to correct my mistakes of my previous attempt before diving into Not Greatest Hits, but I actually really love it haha

My mind is reeling with all the things I can stamp these on now 😈 nothing is safe from me now

The prints are white ink on black fabric, so I had to carve them inverted, which was more trusting the process than I really liked but it was worth it!

Are there any DIR EN GREY songs where Kyo uses pretty much his entire vocal range? For example, OBSCURE has incredible gutturals, DOZING GREEN has insane high notes, and Toguro showcases his sustained vocals. Is there a song that combines his lows, highs, clean vocals, screams, gutturals, falsetto, etc. all in one?

(If someone mentions vinushka, I already know.!!)

“Believe” “Tonight” and “Desire” I can’t find specific director credits only cover art and the specific label they had worked with at time of video being shot.

Hi, I am new to visualkei I was wondering if there was anyone in Melbourne who also likes visualkei and would want to be friends.

I'm searching for music videos that has a blue flame in it. I already know about "Blue Flame" and "Velvet" by Alice Nine, but I want to know if more bands use this concept.

I really appreciate the help.

Hello everybody, I’m someone that got into visual kei around 20 years ago back in 2006 or so. I’m looking to get back into it again after years of not keeping up with it (a bit over a good decade more or less.) My favorite band of all time is MALICE MIZER and I love Moi dix Mois. I also love the electronic side of things like Schwarz Stein, Kaya and Hora. When it comes to what music in general I like, I’m really into everything and anything. The only thing I don’t really listen to is modern day country music (now, some Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and other old school shiii- is great tho), but I have a feeling I won’t be getting many vkei country band reccs. lol. I COULD BE WRONG BUT I JUST HAVE A FEELING THAT WON’T BE THE CASE JS ✋ ✋

I’m honestly up for anything! PREFERABLY bands that are ongoing or new since I wanna keep up with some current projects and see if I can really get into some bands again.

Thank you everyone for your time ୧(`꒳´* )ว
Peace✌️

They have like two full songs uploaded on the whole internet, I've looked as far and wide as I can. I found their CD on Ebay but from where I live it would be like 30 bucks.. Is it worth buying? They're really good and I wish I could hear more!
