Oy! My boyfriend introduced me to hide's music. I knew about him before but that was when I was new to Jrock and so I didn't really hear a lot of his stuff. I'd like to hear the compilation cd. ;-;
hide had many good songs, it's hard to pick a fav...
Of course! hide is one of my great inspirations and the reason I got into X Japan in the first place XD I used to be a very withdrawn person, and still sort of am but hide and X have helped me become more social and kind of wake up; I can distinct...
Definitely do that! They play with good bands usually, too, so chances are if you plan to go to lots of shows you'll run into them anyway. But if you want to seek out one of their shows specifically, you can check their live schedule on their website: valluna.jp
Awww, you poor dear. D: I hate that. That's what Shattered Tranquility is for, though, huh...? :)
Just if you ever hear people (online) asking for good bands to see when they go to Japan... or a recommendation for a good VK band... definitely be sure to mention Valluna.
I'm glad you like them! The lyrics are way intense, too--much better than I was expecting. I think I'll post them up to the group...
I've seen them live twice, and their live performance is what grabbed me. Their costumes are stunning and they really know how to work the crowd. And so yes, I've heard 4 or 5 other songs by them--two of which are apparently coming out as a single soon. When I go to Japan in December I will buy it and see if I can't get it to you somehow. Under the condition that you promise to see them live someday and also tell all your friends about them. I'm making it my goal to get them a fanbase over here. :)
It's yo-ka, the vocalist of ヴァルナ/ Valluna. I made a group for them, so if you're a fan, feel free to join! But you probably don't know them because they just started in May. They're a GREAT band though, totally blew me away when I first saw them. I can send you a download for their free single if you want. :)
