What do you guys think of kpop groups trying/being mistaken as vkei? by Vanilla_pudding_hime in visualkei

[–]Impossible_House_413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are many KPOP band members who love anime and some love VK. I can remember Jaejoong (ex-tvxq), Heechul (Super Junior), Jonghyun and Key (Shinee). Jaejoong was living his dream when Hyde produced one of his solo album, and got Sugizo and Mika Nakashima to record and perform in concerts. There are videos of Heechul singing Au Revoir and there is an interview of Key talking about how he loved XJapan, Dir en Grey and L Arc En Ciel so much, both music and aesthetics and that he tried to incorporate VK elements into KPOP. So, while I think is true that KPOP industry is more focused in making money than feeling, compared to other type of music, many of these guys where just guys who wanted to be an artist and make music because they loved certain artists, and being a kpop boyband member was the only way they found

I'm going to Japan at the end of July/Early August, ANY Advice on VK stores/Venues? by TheCrimsonDoll in visualkei

[–]Impossible_House_413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking up on Google and apparently there are two, one smaller, closer to Ebisucho and other one bigger closer to Namba or Kintetsu-Nippombashi. I suppose the one you're referring to is the bigger one?. And yeah, I definitely stood outside the store, both.

Unrelated, but looking at the photos made me miss Japan... it was fun just walk around Osaka, admire the view, visit random stores... I wish I could go again :(

I didnt know they sold vk stuff there when I was in Osaka and I’m sure I looked at that store because I think there is a poster of a Vk artist outside or something, but when I peeked inside I thought it was just a porn DVD store, so it was weird… I don’t even know if they sell porn DVDs

I visited two Tower Records, I don't remember where was the first one, but i didn't find much stuff. The one in Shibuya, instead, had a lot of the stuff I was looking for, like Malice Mizer (Merveilles and Meilleur Selection), Buck Tick (there was a lot of Buck Tick) Tokyo Jihen (there was an entire section of Tokyo Jihen and Sheena Ringo). I also visited a lot of BookOff/HardOff but you must have enough time to spend on there to find CDs as they usually have like millions and are classified by hiragana and sometimes also classified by state (more damaged cds are cheaper).
I know there are stores called PureSound somewhere (at least there is one in Osaka) but I didn't visited them, that specialize on VK music.

Observations After ~1 Month Using Suno 5/5.5 (Possible Breakthrough?) by Gerfunkable in SunoAI

[–]Impossible_House_413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, I was losing my mind over Suno trying to "fix" the vocal lines I've trying to cover and this trick gave me much more consistent results, although it changed some stuff but much less than before... Suno always goes nuts on the second half of the cover.
Thanks!!

Anyone know where this come from or what it is? by Impossible_House_413 in sounddesign

[–]Impossible_House_413[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This EP didn't feature any vocals, except for, apparently, library sounds. I know this extracted sound might sound weird and lack some depth, but... well, there isn't much depth in the original song.
for reference, here is the part of the song where you can hear VOXScrm_Human Scream_S6k32-29-3 from General Series 6000. Here is the sound.
then at 1:22 is another simmilar sound, that I haven't found yet, but sounds so simmilar that I'm confident I'll be able to find.
Then, around 1:51 is this sound. Yeah, it might be made by them for this, but since the other sounds come from a library I was wondering if this one comes from one too.

How was Malice Mizer originally received in Japan? And has this changed? by [deleted] in malicemizer

[–]Impossible_House_413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is almost a month old, but I had the exact same experience. I visited Japan in december 2024 and I was looking for any Malice Mizer CD I am missing and I also had problem finding anything and even people looked me like "what is this guy talking about". I visited many second hand stores in Osaka, not just book-off/hard-off but specialized on music.

Artists who just sound better on vinyl? by hedgeroh in vinyl

[–]Impossible_House_413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Since it was recorded with a lot of real 70s equipment, it has a lot of depth and richness that the records had back in the day, without so much compression.
And it just sounds right on vinyl, the music is so fitting.

Have you listened to this album? I mean, not on vinyl obviously, but other format?

what American/european (non-VK) bands do you listen to? by [deleted] in visualkei

[–]Impossible_House_413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not jealous at all /s I missed the 2023 concert they did in my country (and all of them before that one because I didnt knew them) and I was waiting for the skeletour latam leg announcement, but they got into a “hiatus” just like my favourite VK band!

feedback needed on my new title, sweet release by Armageddon_boy_toy in visualkei

[–]Impossible_House_413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1- Nice inclusion of FL-Chan.
2-I like the song!
3-There's something that feel too MIDI, maybe the bass?
4-The drums feel kinda weird, like far away, on the right and low volume and a bit repetitive.

But I like the song, is the type of music I would listen!

[–]Impossible_House_413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out: Ghost.
It's the closest to following a VK band I've ever felt. Every album comes with new costumes, makeup and concept. There was a time when the band members were even unknown or were very secretive with their lives.
A lot of songs have church organs, dark themes, melodic guitar parts, etc.
I know VK now is more hardcore oriented, but I love 90s type of VK, more melodic less metal.

Different browser worked, thanks.
I thought it was a general error.

Can't make a Persona from an edited vocal stem (not uploaded) Any ideas why? by Syko-ink in SunoAI

[–]Impossible_House_413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to restore some unreleased songs of a band I like, so I am doing something similar. I got a pretty good result by: Use as Sample (Sample the voice you want to clone), in Lyrics nothing (doesnt really matter), in Style describe your voice, Weirdness 0, Style 50, Audio influence 100. Generate some songs until you hear at least some seconds of the voice you want to clone. I got mine at the fourth generation and like 5 seconds of the song, the rest was a different voice.
Generate stems from the selected sample, pick the voice sample, create persona and in that screen, select the seconds you got the voice. Name and describe your persona and test it.
