Let's do a poll for MEJIBRAY's best MV of 2013! Because decadance was their last release for this year, I'm kinda curious about everyone's opinions! Which MEJIBRAY music video is the best of 2013? Make your choice! If possible please write why you have choosen for that MV. アヴァロン (Avalon) DIE KUSSE メサイア (Messiah) アプリオリ (A Priori) 醜詠 (Shuuei) DECADANCE - Counting Goats ... if I can't be yours - *click* My own opinion: I actually liked the MV Avalon the most. I really liked the effects in the music video and the colour contrast they used. I felt everyone of MEJIBRAY had a good and clear screentime. On a second place, I'd put Decadance MV because the song itselfs is totally amazing. At the end seeing Meto and Tsuzuku dancing *lol* was a precious moment to see.

「SCREW」初回限定盤Ａ #01 微笑みを亡くした愛と自由 [6.5 / 10] The 1st track of the album , sounds like Gazette-ish style , a little bit surprise of their compose of this song , not the style I am looking for to hear from SCREW , but not bad for the beginning of the album. #02 Red Thread [9 / 10] Hard selling title song from the album , I like it as it is not too heavy , and the melody sounds better than the previous singles tracks . #03 Bring It On [7 / 10] Typical SCREW Heavy Metal middle speed track , 鋲's Death-Voice is back !!!!! Totally Love it ! And the guitars are amazing in this song ! #04 XANADU [3 / 10] Didn't like the single ,so there is not much to talk about ! #05 アウトキャスト [6 / 10] Kind of a new sound from SCREW , in this song they sounds more like R指定 style , I can imagine is they crossover cover each other track on this one , guitar solo is great and speedy. #06 明晰夢 [8 / 10] Another typical SCREW Heavy Metal track, just the style I Love from them , 2:21 - 2:31 the epic SCREW Your ears sound , LOVE it !!!!! 鋲's Death-Voice on this track is even crazier than #3 Bring It On ! #07 enduring memories [8.5 / 10] A fresh SCREW sound , I am not sure about the compose , eaither you love it or hate it from SCREW , I do love this kind of style that they can bring down the heaviness of the album . 2 Guitar solos would make a great live performance attention . #08 マスカレード [8 / 10] This track that reminds me of their album 「X-RAYS」 , nothing bad , and great vocal (If he can sing the same in live would be amazing) . #09 Get You Back [7.5 / 10] Epic skills on guitar , speed metal guitar with very heavy feeling on the track . This is the song that I think everyone would shaketheir head , jump on their feet and enjoy the Craziness of SCREW. #10 Teardrop [4 / 10] Didn't like this single as well , as I think the ballad style is not suitable for his voice . 「SCREW」初回限定盤Ｂ #06 DEVASTATED LAND [7.5 / 10] 「DUALITY」 style is back on this track , the Power of Heavy + Electronic , just the style they always be . 「SCREW」通常盤 #06 death candle [7 / 10] 1st impression of the song , DEATHGAZE's style ballad track , great compose , love the bass in this song , very deep and round ! #08 EVERYTHING'S A LITTLE CRAZY RIGHT NOW. [8.5 / 10] The most excited track of the album , the fastest tempo and the bass in this track is epic , all the instruments are great . Didn't mention a lot about ジン's Drums , It's OUTSTANDING as always as ジン is my fav. member from SCREW , I don't even have to say it out loud ! Finally , I will give this album a 8 out of 10 <3 They have improve their music a bit , I am glad that this album have their old style with 2 new sound style !

I didn't really see a topic on this so I thought I would put it out there. During my years of con going I've seen the amount of cosplayers in the music genre decrease in large numbers every year. Many times I feel like I might be the only one cosplaying until I see a random Ruki or random Miyavi or in recent years at ACEN a handful of LMC thanks to their attendance. When I first got into vkei and cosplayer there was so much variety in the bands I saw people dressing as, along with the amount of people dressing up. For a few years at ACEN I took over running the photoshoot meet ups for us but within a few years the turn out was a handful. Do people still participate in vkei cosplay these days or is it only a handful of us across the nation? For people that don't cosplay how do you feel when you see other people dressing as these band men? Any cosplayers that are out there I'd love to see your costumes! Once I dig up pictures I'll edit my post and put them.

VANIRU is a new Japanese Visual Kei band with a dramatical Electro/Goth Rock sound who is led by their front man, Leoneil and guitarist Yuto. Although just being formed in May 2013, VANIRU is the first rock band to be sponsored by MAC Cosmetics and has been highly sought after by leading and famous artists. Furthermore Vaniru is also managed by Baldre Company Limited, who has managed various legendary Jrock icons. VANIRU's name comes from the north mythological gods called Vanir. Gods associated with fertility, also known as Freja, associated with fertility, love, masic....Incubus, being considered as one of the most beautiful among all gods. LEONEIL: It is the provocative. From gods to demons, our vision a seamless world. It could be a place on the world, but it is no longer of this world…Those who can connect to this chaos, our world, let themselves seduced, which is also depicted in their logo. VANIRU has already been touring and was in Europe recently beside Gothika and Adams and is gaining popularity rather rapidly. They already have over 18,000 fans on their official Facebook page, no doubt because their music is of great quality, fresh and new to the Goth/Visual Kei scene which has been recognized in several media entities worldwide to gain them much exposure. VANIRU as new of a band as they are, have already had their first international digital releases starting in July of this year on iTunes, and Amazon titled "Cosmic Night" taken from "Masquerade of Cosmic" , followed by "High Fantasy" and "ZAKURO". Today the duo released a new full length video for song "ZAKURO" on their Youtube Channel. http://www.jpopasia.com/news/introducing-new-japanese-electro-gothic-rock-visual-kei-duo-vaniru::14688.html

NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST 1st full album titled "GRIMOIRE", release date: 29.05.2013 source: natsu's blog, Daichi's blog

Okay, let's do a review about けけ(ヶ´∀`)'s DARUMAROMAN single! I'd love to hear your opinion! In short: - DARUMAROMAN This is my favorite song of the whole single. It's a happy-cheerfully song. Also, if you haven't seen his dance cheography yet, you gotta check that out! It's really a cute dance which you can easily learn as well! But anyways, this song is the best! It's really a creative but poppish-like song. I think it's really Keke-alike song...! it kinda shows his character / how a cheerful person he is. - MADa☆YADa This song is sweet, like a lullaby for me if I can't sleep. It's softer than the DARUMAROMAN song actually, but I like it. - Hello, Worker This song is also some softer song like MADa☆YADa, but has more some kind of up-beat. I think this song is also pretty, you can hear his softer voice also Overall, it's a good single, all 3 songs are really enjoyable to listen. If you haven't tried this single yet, I really recommend you to listen!

Let's make a review out of this MEJIBRAY mini-album release: MESSIAH.bat To be honest, I was really looking forward to this release and from the preview sample it looked kinda good + their looks are awesome...! ....so I put my hopes up until it was released. At first listen to this mini-album, I was kinda impressed but after a few listens I recognized some songs from their previous releases/they've used some instrumentals from what they had released before. I think they've kinda overworked themselfs like all their ideas are gone. But I'll review each song also... Messiah.bat The intro starts with some Tsuzuku grows afterwards they let MiA do the same guitar riff from their previous release ''KILLING ME'', it sounds cool but kinda a no-no for repeating in a new song. The chorus is really catchy, totally love it! Also the up-beats are nice, it keeps you in the song. Overall it's a great song to listen to. Falling ''Maria'' The intro starts again with some previous release melody, what I can get out of it is: APOCALYPSE & THINKER. Hmmm... I don't think there's actually anything new to this song, but it's good. 【worms】 I hate to say this, but the intro is like DEVIL ON THE BED by The GazettE & Diaura - Terrors, but with electro elements in it. I think this is the only song I really dislike on their new mini-album. Great to see they try some electro elements again, but I think their darker music like their 1st mini-album / Sadisgate / Sabato / KILLING me are suiting them much better. Just saying~ - 枷と知能　-それってとても人間らしいって神様は笑ってるの- Another electro elemento song, but I approve this one, it's not bad. It reminds me of their other song Mechanical Beauty, from some of those vocal parts. www Also the lyrics lol, what I can get what Tsuzuku singing, the song is about ''fucking''? lol ... ''You say I'm fucking to, fucking you over''♪ (or something close to that xD) I think they didn't need to add any electro elements, since it's already good in the parts without them. But overall, cool song. - insomnia Finally some darker song, the intro starts with a dark sounding piano.... sweet! The drums are really sweet here, same kind of drum beats used in Akercock (YEAH www) I also love the bass in this song that goes great along with the guitar. Just an amazing song! Actually this kind/type of songs should be used in this whole mini-album in my opinion. I think this was clearly the best song out this mini-album. All the other songs seems kinda weaker. Let's hope they'll do better next time with brand new ideas, also like I said before... I really think they are overworked. They've released so much in short time... they need time to get fresh ideas.
