If anyone was wondering what had happened to 8, or why my numbers didnt line up, it's because i meant to post this before i started my 20 years of visual kei series. I did change the content a little, but i figured that posting this after having focussed on Selia made sense :)
As usual : Song titles link to individual mp3 file download
All 6 songs can also be downloaded together in a zip file from the link at the bottom
Alright, let's gooo !!! (Also, see the bottom of the post, under the cut, to watch me play 6 degrees of visual kei lmao)
D - 闇より暗い慟哭のアカペラと薔薇より赤い情熱のアリア (yami yori kurai doukoku no a capella to bara yori akai jounetsu no aria)
You know, originally this song wasnt in the rotation, but ,ngl, i had forgotten about it until i started listening to D, while working on my 20 years of visual kei series. Of course it has a place here !
*breathes in* Yami yori kurai doukoku no A CAPELLA to bara yori akai jounetsu no ARIA was a single released in 2005
this may or may not have motivated me to do a vk rewrite of the phantom of the opera, back then lol, i never finished it 💀
Femme Fatale - BABEL
This song is the reason why i wanted to make this one specific rotation :D Tbh, Femme Fatale kind of is yet another visual kei band, to me. Like if it was not Kaya's band, i literally would not give much of a shit lmao BUT. The break around the middle of this song, when they go in the high notes, just for a few seconds ! These few seconds made it worth trudging through the rest of the band's discography (not that long either, tbh, as they were only active for 2 years, so...)
Babel was on the -NOIR- version of the GLADSHEIM mini album, released in 2014.
RENTRER EN SOI - 鴉色の胎児 (karasu iro no taiji)
RES's eponymous album is probably the album of theirs i listened the most. I think this track was put on this album to remind fans that they were still Rentrer En Soi, despite the more agressive sound that was en vogue, at the time. I think it also low key show Satsuki's whole range, and i really appreciate when vocalist do that within one song !!
Karasu iro no taiji was first a single before showing up on the RENTRER EN SOI album (idk that there is a difference between the two, but my upload is from the album) released about a month later, in 2006.
sukekiyo - aftermath [collaboration with キリト] (kirito)
I had originally put the single version, here, but then i came to the conclusion that I listen to this version more, and that the high Kyo vocals i wanted to showcase also were in this version :3
This version of aftermath was on the second disc of the special edition of IMMORTALIS, released in 2014.
(this being said fuck the ai wave theyve been surfing on these days ugh)
ヴィドール (Vidoll) - Remind Story
Ok, not gonna lie, this song would not be much if it was not that Jui just breaks into a broken english aria, in the middle of the song dsahjakjjhdk. I think hearing this is what triggered my Vidoll phase, back then lol.
Remind Story was a single released in 2005.
