(The only visual kei band I've listened to is lynch. and I really love them!)
I NEED TO CHECK OUT LYNCH SO BADLY
you don't know how grateful i am for that ask
anyway please know i am at no means in a position to judge the bands by their skill or anything so don't come into my inbox whining abt how x song is better or how come i didn't listen to y song. i'm just being silly and having fun
but if you're polite about it, feel free to fill my inbox with reccomendations, especially oldschool vkei. talking about oldschool vkei this list is like, almost all oldschool vkei? i am so sorry no not really
i'll try to limit myself to one song per band to be fair
5 — eve~last night for you~ by laputa
youtube
the first laputa song i've listened to! because of that factor i'll choose this one as my favourite out of every song. their whole discography is magical, really. aki solos
4 — tell me by hide
spotify ; youtube
hide truly was a genius ahead of his time. tell me has something especially comforting about it to me
3 — beast of blood by malice mizer
youtube
this is one of the like two malice mizer songs i listened to (feel free to spam some in my inbox, especially from the klaha era). remember this tweet? yeah. it instantly captivated me! i like the overall aesthetics and vibes
2 — art of life by x japan
youtube
half an hour of pure madness and emotion. bravo yoshiki, what else can i say. pretty much peak, yet not my favourite though, what could the first place possibly be if not this one
honorable mentions — for these, clicking on the song will get you to the spotify link, clicking on the artist to a—preferably official—youtube link
rhapsody in my head by dezert, pyromania by j, to dears... by sleep my dear, downer king by der zibet, slow down by zi:kill
1 — gravity by luna sea
youtube
LUNA SEA IS MY FAVOURITE BAND OF ALL TIME BTW. IF YOU EVEN CARE.
in my opinion they were at their peak with mother, style, shine and lunacy (the album where gravity is in). yes i very much look forward to the dual arena tour 2023
i could ramble about them for ages. i got myself physical copies of mother and lunacy as well they're that good. and gravity especially is peak. the goat, if you will
