    I was initially just gonna make like a tree and leave, but I figured I can't ghost out on writing something here.

    Everything I feel for this forum has been stated above, it's been so long that MH is just such a natural part of my life.

    It will definitely feel strange once it's gone.


    I have, just like most people been here since the TW days so this has very much been a place I've grown up at online.

    I'd like to thank all members and all staff members, and then:

     

    Shout out to my main nordic gang:

    Dezert - Title Nashi

    Lin - Chaotic Resistance

    Dir en grey - Arche

    Diaura - Focus

    Matsutake Works - Yowai hitotachi

    Diaura - Genesis

    Devil Kitty - Mesubuta kaitaishinsho

    Avelcain - Avelcain

    Great initiative, there's definitely not enough LUNA SEA discussion on the board.

     

    This is such a classic that it's difficult to even begin to talk about it. For me this is the epitome of LUNA SEA. A perfect mix of their early rawness and the soft/poppy sound they did from EDEN up until STYLE. Not to mention their timeless classic ROSIER is on this album. 

     

    It is to me, their best album and probably one of the best visual kei albums ever to be released. Every song on this album is way too good. The ones that stand out a bit from the rest to me are: Genesis of mind, Loveless, In future, Face to face and Rosier.

    Considering how long I've been into VK at this point, I'm not sure anymore.

     

    I found about this scene when I was in my early teens. At the time I mostly listened to different types of metal (mainly nu, death, black & power). I just remember finding out about Dir en grey, Girugamesh, Mucc, LUNA SEA and thinking "holy shit, this is it". For me this was something completely different and new, despite having existed for a long time already. It was probably a combination of the looks and music, and as I dug deeper down the hole of all types of shit-kei  and different sub-genres, ranging from, to and everything between Eze:quL and GLAY, I realized that I'm stuck. It's pretty scary to think about how much of an impact this scene has had on me, even to the point of making big life decisions (i.e. moving to Tokyo back in 2014), and to be completely honest, I'd probably be a totally different person today if I never had gotten such a huge interest in visual kei.  Of course, I was into japanese culture already such as anime, video games etc, otherwise I probably would've never found this scene to begin.

     

    I'm just rambling now, and to get to the answer quickly: It's very likely a mix of the looks and the music. Nowadays I rarely listen to western metal, and my favorite genres besides VK is indie pop/rock and rap, so I get most of my metal cravings from this scene now.
