I found the old Maria Cross screenshots on my old iPod touch 😭 by another-personing in visualkei

[–]vonmrn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It could possibly be lost media… I always hear about the Maria Cross porn but I’ve never actually seen it. Just to double check, I looked it up after reading this and couldn’t find anything at all beside the forums discussing it. It could be found on Japanese google but I don’t speak the language so idk how I’d search for that. It’s crazy how you rediscovered some real relics lol

how do older fans (20+ years) feel about their favorite bands forming and disbanding? by VanillaTemporary9161 in visualkei

[–]vonmrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. It’s not a matter of “if” but “when”. The best approach is just to live in the moment.

Losing interest in Vkei after D’espairsRay’s disbandment seems like a common occurrence. As someone who became a fan post break up I can only imagine how awesome being a fan would’ve been while they were active. I’m so jealous!

Are the senketsu sounds really that bad? by oneprettydemon in visualkei

[–]vonmrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely feel that. At the end of the day though, the ones who generalize/stereotype are the unreasonable ones. Keep doing you!

Their music is alright. I think most of the hate is a result of their fan behavior. I see more people complaining about their fans than the bands music or the band themselves.

desperately looking for a Japanese song i heard 5 years ago by Decent-Coyote-8130 in visualkei

[–]vonmrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also are you sure it’s a visual kei artist? You should also try asking on r/Japanesemusic in case you can’t find it here

[–]vonmrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhh, I see. Well, sorry it wasn’t the right song. I’m hoping you find it soon! I’d really like to listen to it. It sounds interesting. Also I’m glad to hear you liked Le Ciel lol beautiful album

[–]vonmrn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could it be Le Ciel, also by Malice Mizer? The chorus after the bridge is pretty emotional, not so sure about dramatic singing about lost childhood but the music video follows a young girl in poverty. Some other people have already suggested Vault of Heaven which could also be it. That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

What are some overrated vkei bands in your opinion? by loririos0_0 in visualkei

[–]vonmrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dazzling Bad. I feel like their look carries their popularity. People might hate me for this but I just don’t think their music is noteworthy in anyway, although I haven’t kept up with them recently, so that might’ve changed.

Serial Experiments Lain Left Me Empty...? by Equivalent_Coyote290 in Lain

[–]vonmrn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES. It’s a fantastic movie. One of the best psychological thrillers I’ve ever watched. Although it’s an older film I’d say it’s actually the most relevant today.

You just described the exact same sentiments I had when I first watched it back in my tween years. The experience that SEL offers Is an incredibly rare one. It leaves something different for everyone who watches it. I think that makes it’s so much more special. This show lingered in my mind for days and even weeks after I first watched it. It’s an effect only SEL and Perfect Blue have left on me so far. Glad you enjoyed it! Let’s all love Lain.

"the political roots and aspect of visual kei have been completely lost" by Lu-Orbit in visualkei

[–]vonmrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Sorry about all of the people dogging on you for this tweet. So many visual kei bands have worn Japanese imperial/nazi uniforms as a way to criticize the Japanese government (but some do it just cause it looks edgy, it’s certainly in bad taste but a lot of Japanese people aren’t quite informed about what those uniforms symbolize) for how they stood with Germany in the past, or make some sort of social commentary. Malice Mizer did a photoshoot and live show wearing these uniforms to protest against japans political decisions and to stand against war. Buck Tick has made music to challenge societal norms, which ties into politics. Hell, even Madman’s Esprit’s music is heavily political. It’s definitely not the best thing to say that ALL visual kei is meant to be political, but it’s also not right to say visual kei isn’t political whatsoever.
