I can't link 'cause I'm new but feel free to add me on Last.fm [MetaKnight999, you can find me in a lot of shoutboxes lol] and Wavy.fm [same username as here].

My favourite genres are Alt-rock, Post-punk, Industrial, and Piko-Piko.
I only listen to one Visual Kei band - Aicle. They sorta ruined it for me. They set the bar so high that I just can't get into other VK bands.

What are your thoughts on:
  1. eX-Girl
  2. Luminous Orange
  3. TsuShiMaMiRe
  4. Jushofutei Mushoku
  5. Aicle

Sigh.

1. Pterodactyls and other pterosaurs are not dinosaurs. I don't know how closely they are related but they are not actual dinosaurs.

2. So far as we know Pterodactyls could not fly, only glide.

My childhood has been ruined... Thanks for the info though, fr. I guess my real favourite dinosaur would be the velociraptor then.

I do listen to Aicle casually, I enjoy them quite a bit. My favorite song is "Que Sera Sera", what a banger. I'm curious, what was your foray in VK like? It's rare for someone who isn't super into the scene to be into an Oshare Kei band (other than maybe An Cafe I guess) over a big name like X Japan or Dir en Grey [when they identified as VK]. Is Oshare Kei your favourite sub-style? Did you check out the other scenes, such as Kote or Angura? Those are predominantly where my love lies, especially Kote Kei!

1. I have never heard of them. Noise rock, eh? Not my usual, but might be worth a look into
2. I've definitely heard of Luminious Orange but I haven't listened to them yet. I think I'll check them out, I do like me some shoegazin'
3. Heard of these girls, did listen once (according to Last.fm) but that was a long time ago... Remember them being cool, though
4. Never heard of them, sorry!

I haven't heard of any of those scenes, or genres. This is the first song I came across and is my favorite by them. Hammerhead and C to Saprano are great songs too.

Aicle. - Psycho Letter (Translation/English Subtitled)

... and they're so much more
Quote:
They claim to hail from the planet Kero Kero. They are described as psychedelic, space rock, jazz fusion, jagged alternating vocal harmonies, sugary synthesiser pop, punk, prog, epic/atmospheric, noise-rock, wavering three-part a cappella, borderline operatic vocals, often in the space of a single song. Live performances are known to include home-made costumes, synchronised robot dancing and frog-related items. Enthusiastic supporters include Mike Patton and Jello Biafra: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EX-Girl
Back to the Mono Kero (2001) and Endangered Species (2004) are my favorite albums by them.

Funny thing, (don't take this the wrong way) Rie Takeuchi doesn't consider herself playing Shoegaze. But despite that Luminous Orange was the band that got me into Shoegaze.

TsuShiMaMiRe are great. They sing about Grapefruits, done video where they're on cooking show. I'm not certain but it seems Japanese alt Rock bands do a lot of food themed stuff.

That's OK, they are hard to find on YouTube.

Do you listen to:
  1. Shonen Knife
  2. Number Girl
  3. My Dead Girlfriend
  4. Plastic Girl in Closet
  5. Mass Of Fermenting Dregs

I see, I was a little intrigued because I think the real genius lies within the old school VK stuff. Like Aicle is great, don't get me wrong, but if you think that's the best VK has to offer then stuff like Dir en Grey, Luna Sea or Malice Mizer would blow your mind. That's just my opinion though. It's Kote Kei so it sounds very, very different from new school Kei like Oshare but I think you might like it. Here are some vids you can check out if you're curious by what I mean/am talking about:





I've casually listened to all those bands but Number Girl and My Dead Girl Girlfriend. I'm particularly fond of Plastic Girl in Closet, my friend recommended me their "Toy" album and I enjoyed the listen

Can't believe I missed this. Pterodactyls most likely ate fish and not large prey.

I can't even anymore.

When did you start taking dinosaurs so seriously?

Since Jurassic Park the movie came out in 1993 when I was six or seven. That is a serious answer btw. I am only half jokingly offended by the Pteranodon inaccuracies. I would literally make these corrections to people in real life as they glared at me.
