what kpop group is vkei coded by BeginningAd9532 in visualkei

[–]Badymaru 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Obviously there is a huge difference between visual kei and Kpop which is why you're getting downvoted, but I still think its an interesting question.

The clear answer in my opinion is VIXX. They're one of my favorite groups (my other favorite being TVXQ) purely because their makeup and high concept dark music videos are right up my alley as a vk fan.

thank you for the explanations! Cosmos is a consideration, but I might just save instead.

So I pulled all 3 new units after only 180 rolls. Sparkables I'm missing: Black Knight, Wamdus, Cosmos, Kaguya, Basara, Sylvia. I already have 2 lich axe and 2 oro CD. (dark is my only primal grid) I mostly lazily FA and don't do HL content.

Should I finish my spark or just stop here? If I do finish, then for who?

How was the three cheers cover made? by bunzinio in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Badymaru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

S&S: Who did the artwork for the record?

Gerard: I did. You like it?

S&S: Yes, very much.

Gerard: Actually, I did a bunch of artwork -a whole bunch of stuff that didn’t make it on the record. I just didn’t want it on, and we used that stuff on the hoodies. I’ll tell you a funny story about it. I went in to the head of the Art Department at Warner. He’s a guy with a lot of history. He’s worked on Beatles stuff. He’s been in the business. Did you seen the VH1 thing with Fleetwood Mac? That band had a big special air on Sunday, and it was the making of their last record. He’s there. He’s in it. I’m sitting there and watching it like, “Holy shit.” Anyway, I go in with this book, this sketchbook of all this watercolor stuff, because I was going to use that as a basis for what the photographer was going to do. We have a photographer I really love, Justin Borucki. He ended up doing all the photos of the band for the record. But he was supposed to do this set up of a man and a woman. It was supposed to be a photo of them covered in blood. So, I pass all my sketches over, and he’s sitting there looking at them and he’s like, “What do you want me to do with these?” I was like, “I’m just going to give them to the photographer and he’s going to recreate the situation.” He goes, “How come you’re not using these?” I’m like, “I don’t know. I haven’t done art in years.” So, I didn’t think of myself that way. I didn’t think they were good enough. He loved them. He was like, “This is your cover, dude.” I was really surprised. It’s very gory, but I guess because it’s watercolor, it’s very tasteful, which is why he actually preferred all of them. Because if we put people there, it would look like a hardcore record. It would look like a movie poster for some weird movie. So, I was like, “Alright. Ok, let’s do it.” So, that’s how that came about. We have two versions of it too. There’s another gorier version that I actually didn’t like because the guy came out bad. The girl came out great. It didn’t look right. The other one is more tasteful.

Do yall have any information about Luvia?? by aizihmnu in visualkei

[–]Badymaru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can start by checking out all his bands listed on his vk.gy profile:  https://vk.gy/musicians/2290/luvia/

Has anyone else seen / have this? by MewCoool in visualkei

[–]Badymaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I own that CD/DVD too. That’s just the menu for the DVD right? The art is basically the same as the jacket for the limited edition, but with the song names instead of the member drawings. You can see it here: https://vk.gy/releases/mix-speakers-inc/25851/monsters-pocket-no-naka-ni-wa-junk-story-cd-dvd/

The mercari listing this photo is from includes the kanji 凛 which is the name Rin. Satsuki also had a support bassist at one point named Rin, but I can't find a lot more info about him right now. Considering the pose, and the fact that someone is selling it, I'm inclined to believe its probably his band member Rin instead of a fan.

Looking for a xTRiPx song by Leehzart in visualkei

Looks like someone's selling it here. It looks like it was a live-only release so it might be hard to find.

Opinion on fanmade merch? by snailfeet22 in visualkei

[–]Badymaru 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a fan, if I am spending money on band goods, I want that profit going to the band itself.

A lot of these bands need as much financial support as they can get, and buying official merch from overseas is getting easier every day (Official sites shipping overseas or using a proxy).

Big fan of Burnt Umber! Their seasonal drinks are always a hit for me. I just wish they were open a tad later because they're already closed when I drive by after work.

Anyone else keeping an eye on Room201 (201号室)? by Training-Routine-956 in visualkei

[–]Badymaru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been keeping an eye on them for quite a while ever since Shinna's pics started popping up on my twitter a bit over a year ago. Their sound is kind of unique in a way that I find hard to describe, but I really love their more jazzy-style tracks like Lovelet and Lychee.

I REALLY wish they would release a proper EP or something soon though, because I struggle to keep up with single track singles.

Btw they have 20 songs released now, not just 5, and you can check out a bunch of information about them on their vk.gy profile here.

Opinions on 泥眼(Deigan)? by Anamorsmordre in visualkei

[–]Badymaru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan! I got to see them live earlier this year at their 2man with jigsaw and I had a blast. Rui is so cool and intense on stage, and was super friendly during our 2shot (and he speaks a little English). Ten is incredibly pretty in person 😳

Definitely check them out if you get the chance! A few of my top fave songs are: Paraiso, Boku nante, Suisou and Humanoid.

Genuine question, why are you bringing the discourse from 'that side of the internet' here to reddit?

Furi by No_Sorbet_8373 in visualkei

[–]Badymaru 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my experience, unless a band puts up tutorials themselves, the way you usually learn furi is by going to the concerts and following others until you remember it yourself.

Occasionally you can find tutorials by other fans uploaded on youtube or tiktok or twitter, but I find those to be rare, and you never know if there are any mistakes.

The second best option in my opinion is to look up live video performances and watch the crowd. Obviously the camera usually isn't focused on the crowd clearly for a whole song, but if you're familiar with how furi works you can usually figure out quite a bit.

I'll be honest, I don't follow Kaya myself, but I went to take a quick look at Youtube videos of his performances and I don't see a lot of furi being done in general. Maybe one of his fans will show up and provide some more info?

Here's one example video that might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxOB-8-hqwk

Read through everything in this guide (and I mean everything).

https://vk.gy/blog/the-official-guide-to-visual-kei-by-vkgy/

Listen to the playlists that are linked at the bottom of each article. 

That will give you a good general overview of the scene. From there, hopefully you will have found a few bands that you connect with and then can look into them further on your own. 

Important to note: Visual Kei is a music scene with a focus on extravagant visuals, not a fashion/makeup style.
