Oh god….its like an ojisan idol group…the music, the looks, the whole vibe….
“We are the rockstars!
BIGGI DI BIGGI DI BANG BANG BANG
BIGGI DI BIGGI DI BANG BANG BANG
BIGGI DI BIGGI DI BANG BANG BANG
The fucking rockstars”
— THE LAST ROCKSTARS, 2022
We are witnessing visual kei history in the making here. Where were you when BIGGI DI BIGGI DI BANG BANG BANG became lore?
I’m gonna be serious for a minute: what kills me is that there are four legitimately good musicians here and not a single moment of musical prowess. No guitar chords or licks, no real bass, no rock; just piano, HYDE, drumming, and an abundance of synth. This isn’t even amusing levels of disappointment, it’s more like when you mix four colors together and get that muddy brown color that doesn’t go on anything. @Heyt nailed it.
I said on the discord a better name would have been NYX.
S.K.I.N → N.I.K.S → NYX
It hurts so much to know this is the brainchild of the same person who wrote Art of Life.
Time goes flowing, breaking my heart, indeed.
My feelings are mostly mixed-to-negative. I’m excited over the prospect of them working together and finally going to see Miyavi perform if I get tickets to the NYC show, but like… Are they only performing music they wrote for this band then? And if that’s the case, is it coming out officially before the shows take place?
The song previews are fine. I’ll admit I like generic crap as much as I like interesting compositions, so I’ll probably bop to these tracks even if they’re nowhere near the level that I know these guys are capable of. I guess I’ll just see what the full tunes sound like before I rip them to shreds.
Wouldn’t they have been sued by the cosmetics brand?
This feels like a band wanting to be Hollywood Vampires, but the Japanese version and not on that level of musicianship if we’re being honest.
Any guesses on the support bassist? I’ve seen KenKen, Ju-Ken, CRAZY COOL JOE, FIRE, among others thrown around as potential picks.
’ Hey guys, what would be the most pretentious name we could find… ?! ’
the absolute clownery and pretentiousness here
“bigidi bigidi bang bang” grandpa idol anthem of the decade
I feel like MIYAVI was a bad choice for this band. Would have been better if they chose someone to mix the song to sound more metal then techno and poppy as fk. >.<
I would have even been okay with a piano mix or something.
They’ve touched upon the subject at the press conference but it was a bit weird/confusing to gain any actual info. They said something like “there will be no bassist” but idk if that just means that they’ll hire a support guy or no live bass at all? (judging from the samples I can even imagine programmed electronic bass for this style of music)
judging from that sample, there ain’t no damn guitars or drums either lmao
OMG facts XD
MACBOOK PRO SAN’S BACK IN THIS MOTHAFUCKAAAAAAA!!!
y’all are just too annoying
nothing wrong with this, let the ojisan have fun and I am pretty sure I will have fun too. It’s gonna be like the Avengers - not lifechanging but hey it could be fun lol I don’t need every music to be an artistic masterpiece. Like with the current state of music I will take anything fun over what’s on radio
People are always like “vk isn’t the same anymore this artistic lackluster that” but just the other day I was literally posting "Kamijo is the last sane man in the room (but no one is making music there lol) " so this is great to see … excited
OMFG the “BIGGIDIBIGGIDI BANG BANG - The fucking rockstars” is real, it’s not a joke about the music and lyrics being shitty and basic. IT IS REAL. ![]()
You know what? I’m biggidy biggidy here for it. I am going all in. This is my favourite band.
