All the drama... and the fact that it has been more than a year since I.V., and there still isn't no new song.
But I guess the new song would just make the fans go wild. I remember when I first heard I.V., I coudn't think straight for more than a month, and I even had fysical problems XD (sweating, headache, hyperactivity) So... I don't know if I will survive another NEW SONG MANIA ZOMFG :P

Oh yeah, and i don't like the fact that the world tour is slowly falling apart.

Yeah, same here. On one hand I think they are gonna be similar to the reunion concerts (which were great btw), but on the other hand deep down inside, I'm hoping for a few things (new permanent member, new songs, more old songs, and so on :))

I'm hoping for the exact same things ;D Let's hope at least one or two of them become reality.

But but but... *panic voice* :D

I can't understand why you are saying "X Japan wasn't visual kei"? X Japan definately was visual kei, I was VERY VERY surprised when I saw people discussing about that :O X Japan was a pioneer of visual kei during 80's and during 90's followed by LUNA SEA and L'arc~en~ciel. Almost everyone here has said they had very colourful and visual outfits during 80's and for a moment during 90's, and very visual outfits is only "point" in visual kei, so how can anyone say "X Japan wasn't visual kei?" I'm very confused.

^Yeah I agree.
X Japan IS Visual Kei. The heavy make up, the bizarre style. Everything about their look was visual. How can you say that they aren't?
Well now of course they aren't.

Oh yeah I don't like Wriggle. I don't know why but I can't make myself to like this song. =/
It's the only X Songs-in-album that I dislike.

X Japan wasn't/isn't Visual Kei.

X Japan was/is Visual Kei.


Now, both of those sentences can be true or false. It all depends on how you define visual kei. Some people define it as what emerged in the 1980s, with X, Loudness, D'erlanger, Color, etc. Some define it as what Malice Mizer and the like started in the 1990s and that X was just visual. As long as we don't clearly define what visual kei is/was, we can't really say anything and all arguments become pointless.

find the 999999999999999999 differences

one thing is the "visual" which was created by bands like visual scandal, gained fame with yokosuka st and died with X

another thing is the visual kei, created by Mana in 1994, who mixed gothic with visual, creating visual kei (visual type)

easy, really easy

x wasn't visual kei

Tell that to MUCC.

This video is from 2007 and they say "Visual kei exploded about 10 years ago in Japan", who disbanded when Visual kei exploded? X Japan. Who had lot of fame in 1997? Mana.

Also, Merry doesn't say anything. Beatles also played a very important role in heavy metal music, and they aren't heavy metal music.

Again, in this video we can see Yoshiki saying "Visual kei, which we started". LOL, I'm fucking sure he's saying that just not to explain the whole history.

hi there

lol do you even know what kei means.

"Visual kei exploded about 10 years ago in Japan"
X was the only people daring enough to do so until Mana appeared followed by others.
exploded doesn't necessary mean they don't exist, they just got popular later on.

Visual - visual (heavy emphasis put on flashy appearance and style),
Kei(系) - system; lineage; group(type).

gothic is gothic. "kei" isn't even a style.

But during X's flashy years the style was a lot different than visual kei is now, and was called visual (I think), so could we just call X visual to keep things simple?

The boost in public awareness of visual kei bands during the last few years has also been referred to as neo-visual kei.... ::)

if X had been visual kei then visual kei would have exploded in 1991-1992 when X sold 1,000,000 copies of Jealousy and did a Tokyo Dome 3days, then if would have been the 'explosion of visual kei', but since X wasn't visual kei. Visual kei exploded when Malice Mizer signed with Nippon Columbia in 1997 and released merveilles one year later, as MUCC said 'about ten years ago'

I already know that, what I meant is that visual kei is just a mix of visual (which X was) and gothic stuff

neo-visual-kei? that's another stupid word created by fans which means nothing like jrock or jmusic

lol this i can agree.

it's ABOUT 10 years ago. that can mean around that period since he didn't exactly indicate how many years back.

but you said X was visual. which means they belong in the Visual Group = Visual Kei.
Visual Kei is just any band that belongs in the visual group.
It's all about the make up and the outfit.

one thing is visual kei and another one is visual, don't mix them
visual = born in 1979 died in december 31, 1993
visual-kei = born in 1994, still alive. you won't see the word visual-kei anywhere before 1994, but you will find things like 'visual scandal', 'visual shock'

as hypno said, it really does depend on how you define VK... if you just mean modern VK, than it's hard to say that X was a part of that, but if you look at VK as a broad term,  than X was a part of it

Agreed.

I don't like the whole 'brainless fangirl culture'.  It annoys the everliving crap out of me.  I mean.. yes.. I'm a rather 'newbie' when it comes to Japanese Rock music, but I at least try not to... 'act' newbie.

Brainless fangirls are the one thing I just... cannot stand

That and people who act brainless in general.
