i go by charlotte, i’m in my 20s, and i use she/they pronouns— i am also residing in the western united states i also know a good amount of both japanese and french, are we surprised with a username like mine?
my history and love for these genres and subcultures is long and varied, but this is my first time making an account on a forum dedicated to them.
my main faves are lareine (kamijo), buck-tick (atsushi), unite (lin), x japan/zilch (hide), but i love listening to new bands everyday! there’s nothing i dislike, trust me.
i hope to spend lots of time here discussing artists, making connections, and having fun!
much love <3
bonjour, bonjour! i am so excited too, he was my first love way back when, and it’s never faded, LOL!
my favorite lareine songs … that’s HARD! but, right now, probably 悲愁の花園 , miss carmila, and 憂いの花が綴る愛
i really love all of his other works as well! for new sodmy, i am really liking actor lately. for versailles, i always go back to melodic thorn … them VOCALS
and for solo kamijo … that’s another difficulty to pick— i had a huuuge moment with mademoiselle when it came out, but i’ve been keen on both the crimson dragon and temple eps right now! and violent dawn, of course
how about yourself? and how are you feeling about his relocation to los angeles?
Same, Lareine was my gateway drug into vkei and I have adored Kamijo ever since
Those are all incredible picks Persona Grata is my personal favourite out of the Kojima singles but that might be just because I love Bloodway so much and I can’t get over how much that version of Mystery sounds like a disney song I am always bad at picking favourite songs, particularly with Kamijo because I just end up listing his whole discography Fuyu Tokyo will always be extra special though and lately I have been obsessed with the whole of the Vampire Scream album. I also keep rewatching that one live of Darkness on YT lol. For… reasons.
From Versailles I think God Palace, Serenade, Destiny ~the lovers~, Vogue, Love will be born again and Ascendead master are my at least some of my top favourites. From New Sodmy I think Phantom might be my current favourite. From his solo I am recently most obsessed with Bastille, Heel and the whole of Violet Dawn. …I am no tempted again to just list everything he has ever made but I must resist
It was a bit of a shock but his courage to always try new things and follow his heart is really admirable and imo probably one of the things that makes him such an incredible artist. I am excitrd for him and really hope he finds whatever he is looking for there
omg yes, persona grata is so iconic!! i honestly don’t see many people talk about it. i feel the same way about listening to the whole discography, i get ‘stuck’ and can’t get out, not like i’d want to anyhow. and GOSH, i know … darkness’ lyrics especially have me :swoon:
ascendead master is iconic, same with destiny! fantastic choices all around. i have to say, violet dawn has had to grow on me, but i am fully addicted now! plus, he looks GREAT!
i feel the exact same! i am so unbelivably proud of him, and i am sure yoshiki will help him follow his symphonic dreams in the golden state, LOL! personally, this gives me a way bigger chance to see him, which i am so grateful for.
Violet Dawn is anothwr wonderful example of how he is always trying something new. It still sounds like him 100% but also different and I love it so much. And the look is so stunning, I wish he wore that costume more. But I suppose it was doomed from the start since it has a corset and the king needs his comfort
Please no, he doesn’t need to pick up any bad habits from Yoshiki
I really hope you get the chance! There should be an US tour in the works so I hope you can make it! Who knows, it might finally be time for me to try visiting the states too
