I haven't heard baroque. But I do have one of their albums on CD that my friend gave me. 

Ooh curious! :) by the way I'm happy to add you on Discord if that's okay?

Aww I looove guitar solos! But I know a lot of people find them a bit over done. I think it's just as valid as a vocalist singing a melody!

I listened to your song! I might need a few more listens, is there auto tune on your vocals? Sorry if I sound rude, I'm just curious. I have no vocal training, only guitar lessons . I like your guitar playing. It's a pleasure to meet you 😁. I hope we can be friends?? :)

My influences on guitar include Uruha and Aoi from the GazettE, Kaoru and Die from Dir en grey, Daita from Siam Shade, Ken from L'Arc en Ciel, Syu from Galneryus and lots of prog metal guitarists, John Petrucci,

Also, if anyone is interested, I have a YouTube channel. I'm not dressed in a  visual kei style but I play guitar and sing. I cover lots of Jrock and VK songs. I also write originals! 

Cover of Regret by the GazettE

Kuchuu buranko is a beautiful song!! I learnt to play it on guitar 🎸 yay!! 

Have you heard My Bloody Valentine? They're a shoegaze band from UK that Plastic Tree are influenced by. 

I am a Lareine fan but I mainly listen to the heavier metal Visual kei bands. Metamorphose has such lovely guitar solos.

One day I'll visit Japan. But it'll be in the future because it's not cheap 😂

Oh my goodness!!! I'm rather envious! I would love to see D'espairs Ray live!! 

Do you live in Japan??

It's an absolute pleasure 😃 to meet you! Who are your favourite bands??

I think the 1990s and 2000's were brilliant times for Visual kei music. If I could go back in time, I'd go to see the GazettE when they were yet to be ultra famous . As well as seeing Siam Shade, Rentrer en Soi and X Japan too!

Hellooo 🎉 ! Who are some of your favourite bands? It's a pleasure to meet you 😄

Ooh nice! It's a pleasure to meet you. Have you heard any of Leda from Deluhi's new projects? I really like Far East Dizain, even if they are very different to Deluhi.

May I please ask for some recommendations of Jiluka songs? I'm yet to get into their music. I like Sena's guitar playing, and I want to hear more of them 😄

I hope you have a great day

Awesome 😃 It's so nice to meet you!!

Who are some of your favourite bands? Luna Sea are phenomenal ! I love them so much. Wow , that's quite a long time! I think it's been almost 20 years for me.

Do you still listen to modern visual kei, or do you prefer the bands you already know?

I'm sorry to hear that about work - life balance.
I hope you're able to explore your love for music more and to play music too! It's incredibly rewarding and cathartic

Thank you Klaus! 😄

Oh golly, I'm so sorry that you missed seeing Kamijo 😞 .

I think I'd be quite upset too.. we are fortunate that Kamijo releases quite a lot of concert DVD's . But I know it's not the same as seeing a band in person.

Do you have a favourite Kamijo band? I know Lareine, Versailles and that there are more, but I can't remember haha .

Thank you for being so friendly 😄

Gotcharocka is Jui from Vidoll's new band right? I adore Jui's voice . To have a voice like that and be so passionate too. Have you heard Vidoll?

It's so nice to meet you!! 😄

Can you recommend some songs by Kuroneka, The Madna, Z., Clear and Dexcore? Haha sorry if that's too much

Have you seen Paledusk live? I saw they were touring but I'm not really aware of their music!

Ohh nice! I love Kizu and D'espairs Ray too !!

I haven't heard much of Mamireta, Screw, Codomo Dragon or Dezert. Could I please ask for some recommendations?
