This is a a live PV of the Visual kei band Raphael (1997-2000). They have disbanded after the death of their guitarist Kazuki. The singer Yuki Sakurai and the drummer Kazuhiro Murata (Hiro) are actually in a new band called Rice.
Tengo que reconocer que lo primero que me atrajo de Raphael fue la fuerte personalidad de Juca. El profecionalismo que imprimia en sus presentaciones. Despues Yuki con su magica Guitarra me envolvio e hizo de Raphael mi grupo favorito.
@GenyaArikado Japanese music is so different from european and american... so maybe that's why I'm listening to j-rock^^ This music has a soul... somewhere deep inside between the chords^^ I began to listening to j-rock about one year ago and I don't know so many bands and artists yet, but my favourite are Gazette, Phantasmagoria, Raphael :), Dir en Grey... maybe Miyavi ^^ What about your favourite bands/artists?
Una vez tuve un amigo con el que compartía todo y esta canción formó parte de esas noches donde enfrentábamos nuestros demonios. Aquello quedó atrás, más de 20 años de amistad se fueron sin avisar. Todo dejó de importar.
@GenyaArikado I understand your sadness, but Kazuki wanted to die. Yuki in one of interviews said, that he still repeated he don't wanna end up 20 years. It's so sad, but... what can we do now? Don't despair.
@GenyaArikado It's because polish girls are curious of the world and foreigners ;) But there are very intolerant people in Poland, especially in little towns and villages. When someone with weird clothes or someone just different is going along the street, some people are laughing and staring on him. It's very sad for me.
@GenyaArikado So, I began listening to Moi Dix Mois yesterday ^^ They're great! Their music has a mysterious climate. Perfect for sleepless nights^^ My favourite albums are "Dix Infernal" with Juka on vocal and "Nocturnal Opera". And what about you? I'm going to listen to Malice Mizer next. Which songs do you recommend?
@GenyaArikado I haven't been on any lives yet :( Nobody interesting comes to my town and my parents don't wanna let me go to the concert in another bigger city. Anyway, I haven't got my own money to buy the tickets. Despair's Ray will come to Poalnd on 28th September but I can't be on.
@GenyaArikado I don't know X-Japan very well, maybe 1-2 songs... Dir en Grey are changing all the time. The newest "Hageshisa to Kono Mune(...)" sounds like a kind of death metal. It's good that they are looking for new sounds and inspirations. They're not boring :). But for me they were better in songs like "The Pledge" ^^ Yes, I agree, Phantasmagoria were fantastic. It always is sad, when the awesome band break up. Do you know Moi Dix Mois?
@GenyaArikado I know this song! I listened to it after I sent my last message to you ^^ It's really nice. Do you know a song by Kamijo, Kaya and Juka called "Node of Scherzo"? I'm listening to it now. What do you think about it?
@GenyaArikado I don't listen to j-pop, so I can't compare it to k-pop. I also don't like k-pop very much^^ It's just one band which I listen to and... that's all. Wow you're so lucky you met Versailles! I love them, their music and Hizaki, he is an incredible guitarist^^ ! What about the concert? Did you like it or what do you remember best? ^^
@GenyaArikado Really? I don't know... I didn't hear anything about his girlfriend... I don't understand his decision, but I think he was depressed. I only say, what I read in the internet. But - sorry, it's my mistake - Hiro said this, not Yuki. Sorry. (Sorry for bad english, if it is XD)
@GenyaArikado "VII-Sense"? I haven't heard them too. My friends say that it is better than Xover. There is 3 guitarist in band, it may be interesting ^^ I also can't wait for new Moi Dix Mois album ;) Now I'm into k-pop because my best friend is a big fan of F.T. Island ^^ so I'm looking for the same music. They are also great and have wonderful PVs, but I rather prefer j-rock.
