Monolith --> Fairy-tale

I have to say... this song ROCKS!!! I really was suprised, first when I liked this song (I thought this band was like totally hard-metal), and that I could hear two vocalists... Sometimes you can hear the back-up singer really well but Monolith actually has TWO vocalists!! I've never heard/ seen that before!!! It was such a shocker to me!!! But I loved them in this song. I also listen to other songs by them, but this is one of my favourites... and this is the first song that I heard by them aswell. There's such a sweet not to their voices in this song... and the music video goes really well with the mood that the song gives. I must say that this song is a great pick. Here, listen for yourself:


I think it's good anyways...

SUPPORT the artists... they need to know how much we like thier songs!!! Unitll then, Youtube has FREE accounts where you can listen to their music.

L.M.C. --> Punky Heart

This is the first song that I heard from L.M.C. and I really did like them with this song. It's soo fun to listen to and it's just totally awesome to me. I really do like this song a lot. Although, it isn't my favourite from them... but it's deff one of them. I love the black-pink look of the video and how "punky" everyone looks there. I just found the whole PV cool and awesome.


As always... support the artists and buy the albums and singles.
Youtube is good untill you're able to afford the music....

V[Neu] --> Cherry

The group V[Neu] has had atleast two vocalists since they began... June and みつ (Mitsu).  This song was while the band had June as a vocalist. I really do like it. It's upbeat and really, really, fun to listen to... It is really hard to find stuff about them though... don't you think?? Like, the band with みつ is easy to find stuff for... but when you are looking for V[Neu] stuff with June... it's virtually impossible!!
Anyways... here's the video:

As always, even though this band is different now... support it!!! I don't know what happened to June because I can't find anything on him... but I hope he is feeling better, since I'm preety sure he left because of illness. So I hope he has been healed and is still living and singing and I just don't seem to recognize him. That's what I hope anyways... So yeah!!!
Oh, I found out they're songs don't seem to be in print anymore... SUCKY!!!!!
I really, really wanted to buy them when I was able to...
Oh well i guess.

Dolly- Ame Furi No Eigakan Doremidan- Chou

Hey guys...
I'll explain why i've decided to do two different songs in a minute. Right now I just want to introduce the songs:

ドレミ團- 蝶 (Doremidan- Chou --> Butterfly)
This is a really good, really catchy song that I just love soo much!! I have some other songs by ドレミ團 but almost none of them compare to this one in beat and music video. This is also one of the last songs that I found from them. I really really do like them.
Here, take a look:



 

Dolly- 雨降りの映画館 (A Rainy Theatre)
This was the first song that I heard from Dolly... and I loved them. That is... after I found out that it was a different band. Meaning that doesn't Dolly's vocalist look A LOT like ドレミ團's vocalist?? Like really... I've always gotten this song mixed up as being either Dolly's song or ドレミ團's because of the similar looks!!!
Anyways, the band is lovely and I have a bunch of their other songs that I also listen to... I really do like the misuc video for this one (eventhough it has me confused with the vocalists...). And the song itself is quite catchy... but maybe not as catchy as ドレミ團's 蝶.



 
As always... support the artists by buying their songs. If you can't buy them yet... then get a FREE youtube account to watch them online untill you have the money. :) :D

Ayabie --> Melody

I wasn't really sure about this band at first... mostly because it is 彩冷える but without Aoi (葵) as the vocal. Yumehito (夢人) is the new vocalist. He used to be one of the 2 guitar players. So now they only have one guitar player, a base, and a drummer, aswell as the vocalist.
After listening to their first song... I was liking them with and without 葵。Sometimes I feel like a traitorer... but I can't help it. Both bands sound soo good, and 葵 is doing well on his own aswell. (As far as I know anyways...) so I don't feel that bad about it.
Anyways... Melody was the first song I heard from them and I totally loved the beat and all that. The second music video (with some scenes from Enishi) was also quite cool. Like I haven't watched the movie yet... but I do want to just to see how well their acting skills are, since their music skills are really "rocking!!"
As always... support the singers... and get a FREE youtube account to listen to their songs on unitll you are able to buy them...

彩冷える --> 君の声と約束 Ayabie--> Kimi no Koe to Yakusoku (Your Voice and Promise)

OMG!!!!! This song is one of the first that I fell in love with when I first started listening to Visual Kei back in 2010... The band is sooo cool-looking in this video. I must admit that this wasn't the first song by Ayabie that i've heard... it was actually the second. The first one was 会いたくて (Aitakute --> Just want to meat you [maybe]) Not quite sure on the translation there. But anyways 会いたくて was recorded much later after 君の声と約束 and when I went into this song at first... I wasn't even looking at the video. Hoestly... I was doing something else (FB Fish Wrangler maybe) and then I decided to see what the video looked like from where I was in the song.
I was like "What the heck!!!" But I loved the song... and I did recognize the vocalist 葵 (Aoi) not too long after I watched it a second time. I guess this happens to most VK bands... they start out very, very, extravagant in their clothing and make-up choices, and then they seem to go major and loose most of their Visual effect. It really saddens me because I love the visual effect just as much as their music.
Don't get me wrong. I don't just listen to the music with corresponding vids. I do admit that about 80-90% may be with video... but the rest are songs that have no video to go with them. And I like those songs just as much and sometimes even better.

Anyways... here's the video:

So... SUPPORT the bands!!!! Listen to the music on Youtube with a FREE account. If you want... I have all the music that I listen to on their in playlists. my id is sugarmidnight02. I usually don't replace the videos that are taken down... But I should start doing that.

アンド --> Blindness

Hey guys! I just wanted to recommend another song that I just absolutely can't get enough of. The song is called Blindness and it's by アンド & Eccentric Agent (And & Eccentric Agent)... I didn't realize how beautiful the lyrics really were before I came across a translation of it. From what I remember, since this was a while back and my schedule has been sooo hectic this past week, the song talks about how blind people can be when it comes to war. I can't quite remember but I do know that the stanza after the refrain starts with something like "Kono sekai ga ima koe wo kyookine koete hanatsunara higari ha iranai koe wo iranai chibuusae iranai."
I cant remember exactly how it was translated... but it had something to do with, "In this world... I don't want to hear your voice right now..." Anyways, this really hits me hard for some reason... it was always... way before I found the translation it seemed to really get me going in a way... I really don't know how to explain it. Anyways... I'm new at this blog thing... so I finally tried something new. (I will be updating my other blog-posts with this aswell...) Here's the video of this wonderful song...

As always... support the singers and buy their albums and singles.

BLINDNESS [A-TYPE, Limited Edition, w/DVD] / And

Or enjoy the vast amount of available videos on Youtube for FREE while you save up for them.

Oh also... I do have to say that CD Japan is the dealer that I plan to go with when I finally come across some extra money to pay for these CD's. But, as always, it's your choice as to how you get them.

さぁ。。。それじゃ、また!! (Saa... sorejya, mata!! --> Sooo, seya later!!)

Ricky -->雨のスパイラル (A Rainy Spiral)

Ricky might not be a Visual Kei artist anymore... but I do still put him under this genre because he was in some Visual Kei bands. R*A*P being one of them. He's also in Dansei. Anyways this is one of his solo songs and I really do like it. It's soo up-beat and fun. The music video is also pretty good. I love the hand movements and little dances that he's rocking in it...


Anyways, as always, support the artists and buy their songs. Also, if you can't... there is Youtube. A FREE account gives you the right to make playlists and listen to music that way...
