/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm sort of guilty for this? I went from Jpop to Miyavi, Malice Mizer, and Dir en Grey off the visuals alone but the music quickly followed. From there I got into the big 2000's groups but Jrock stuff has always been so hard to find. I only found Malice Mizer because of a misnamed torrent back in the day that said "Dir en grey and Malice Mizer live" and when I got it, it was Illuminati live with Diru nowhere in sight.

When kpop got big it became accessable, more so than VK so with DBSK and the TRAX (who collabed with Yoshiki) looking VK at the time, I went with what I could easily get a hold of because back then they sounded sort of rock-ish.

Of course the kpop scene has changed since then and hell, the VK scene has gotten more underground and even harder to find only because Japan isn't that media-friendly for foreigners. it's near impossible to find live-airing music shows in Japan just on a stream when Korea makes websites just to help foreign fans out so they can watch and interact with the shows.
