#it is supposed to be vkei

[celestiachan]

the more style savvy customers call the rock style punk the more i yearn for an edgy version of style savvy

#xenon screams #style savvy #it is supposed to be vkei #it looks like scene #and everyone calls it punk #plus what the fuck is going on with bold #some of it is edgy. some of it is trendy. some of it is hyperfeminine. some of it is tomboy #also. trendy=not a subculture #and then there's gothic #it's gothic lolita which iirc was started by mana-sama who is part of a vkei band #really neat style but uhh. i never even heard of gothic lolita before playing style savvy #would be nice to see something like actual punk or metalhead or grunge or goth represented #i might just make one honestly

HCs ⟡

→ first of all im not gonna argue with anyone here but CHUUYA WOULD DEF LISTEN TO ROCK OR METAL VKEI BANDS. you're NOT convincing me otherwise. occasionally listens to j-pop!

→ specifically CLUBSICK from sick² and anagura from kizu. (more kizu appreciation PLEASE). i can totally see him blasting something random at 4 am in his office, like I KILL YOU by codomo dragon or RAVEN by mejibray.

→ he wouldn't admit he enjoys that so quick, but hes the type of fella to blast it SO LOUD through his headphones, it can be heard outside perfectly fine. gets slightly embarrassed and awkward when someone points it out.,..,...

→ favourite band? doesn't really have one. puts his playlist in a shuffle and puts reccommendations on, listens to whatever.

→ if you said you liked vkei aswell, he's going to go infodump about it in a randon conversation. congratulations, you will now listen to him ramble about random stuff and the drama going on between the bands without prior warning.

→ definitely tried playing an instrument before but then just.. gave up, no matter his skill. he forgets about it often, so he thought the best option was to just give it away or something.

→ he isn't a genre hater. doesn't mind listenig to reccommendations, but his dislikes and likes are as clear as glass.

→ his ears aint making it to his mid-late 30s.

DRABBLE ⟡

You were over at Chuuya's luxurious apartment, just the one that you'd expect an executive to have. Even though you've been here several times, the apartment never failed to make you smile in awe. Your hand was tilting the wine bottle at a perfect angle and your eyes were assasing the amount if liquid in the wine glass. So dramatic for what, but you were too focused on it now.

Meanwhile, Chuuya had found a dusty vinyl from who knows how long ago, a long with a few discs that looked just as ancient as the vinyl - It was behind a random bookshelf and surprisingly nobody had noticed it until now. Now he was in the living room playing with the vinyl's settings and gear. "[Name]," he called out. your head snapped towards the sound, just when you finished pouring the wine. Seems like you just focused too much on pouring it a right amount. A second later you were next to his side, and put the wine on a nearby coffee table.

"Do ya think this still works? I found some old discs along with it to my luck."

"How am I supposed to know?"

"I don't know, aren't your guesses almost always correct?" He cackled. You rolled your eyes. Chuuya looked genuinely happy after finding those, almost like a pirate who has encountered a treasure. He did resemble a pirate to you, for sure, but that's out of topic... Finally putting the disc on the vinyl, his movements slowed down. The track didn't seem familiar to you— But Chuuya froze the few seconds he heard it again. "Oh," the executive muttered, "I remember listening to this when I was like what, 16..?" Seems the bus of nostalgia hit him pretty quickly. Laughing, you sat next to him and ruffled his hair much to his displeasure. He shot you a glance, but he wasn't mad and you could make that out.

And that's how the night went, listening to old discs Chuuya had. Needless to say, you both enjoyed that.

The gazette were my introduction to Vkei and jrock in general and I immediately fell for Reita. It’s because of him, because of them that I’ve been able to make so many amazing friends.

When I saw the notice posted at 1am I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t want to believe it. Even right now I don’t know how we’re supposed to feel about this. He was a comfort for so many people, it’s just gonna be hard for a while to go on knowing he’s gone now.

My heart goes out to his family, to the other members, to all the fans. I know it hurts now but I know we’ll all get through this, Reita wouldn’t want us to be sad. He would want us to remember all the good times we had because of the GazettE. SIXTHGUNS FOR LIFE

We will preserve.

♡ thank you for your words. It's shocking and difficult to accept because one doesn't expect such a thing to happen. It doesn't feel real.

he was an irreplaceable part of many people's lives for years. that's a gap you can't fill.

I hope in time we can remember him with more joy and less pain.

i was going to type out a huge post about the stage since i snuck in one last full watch before it went away but tumblr killed my post as i was making it and i don’t feel like making another one lol

so new encounter thoughts: clifnotes version!!!!! it’s fitting bc that’s what this stage was anyway lol

i enjoyed myself!!!!! i wasn’t disappointed by any performances, tho since i was ride or die for akira ichiro and ayukawa jakurai, i felt those losses keenly lol. i was also surprised how much i felt like i was missing aramaki sasara watching this play lol. there were some changes to the origin stories, ofc lol, but the stage has always had superior bb takes so i really appreciate them changing ichiro’s more shallow dismissal of his bros in canon to him being scared for them after what happened with samatoki and chuuoku. it’s his biggest conflict in these battles so i appreciate them making it a primary focus

i read a tweet from a fan idk who they originally stanned but said they were considering becoming a hama lady after the stage and abso-fcking-lutely LOL uehara-san is incredible as samatoki, yuki-san can also inspire the masses with his looks and dancing and flow and tho stage rio didn’t have much presence in the play, him opening his heart to samatoki thru their battle and then teaming up with the both of them after fighting together is a great slight change to their origin story

*slams thru the wall like the kool aid man* AND THE NEW BAT HAIYUU ARE ACTUALLY MAGNIFICENT like backwards order since i have Things to say about nakanishi kuukou lol but nakatsuka-san’s hitoya is very cool!!!! his voice envokes almost the same amount of hype takeuchi-san’s voice does for me, like it’s deep and rough when he’s going and it’s sooooooo good. stage hitoya in the legends era cared for jyushi certainly, but i don’t think he flat out babied jyushi as much as he did in new encounter like my god lmao. it might be more indicative of the difference between actor’s personalities lol and i suppose hitoya did try to get kuukou to lighten up on jyushi when they first got started. also, there was this look he gave kuukou when kuukou started to goad him into being on his team that exuded cool charisma i think nakatsuka-san might be another actor too cool for hitoya LOL

i didn’t think it was possible for a jyushi to be even more baby than daigo-san’s but goddamn i think sakayori-san managed it LOL and again i do think some of that is bc of the source material they were adapting. i saw reports that new encounter jyushi was kinda spoiled by his team and i could see the undercurrents of that in the way kuukou would pat his back when getting up or the way jyushi would lean into hitoya and hitoya would actually wrap an arm around him lol. but i’m not complaining ITS CUTE. sakayori-san’s silhouette is so crazy like his build i think is exactly the way i envisioned jyushi’s so i kept vibrating out of my seat whenever he did a flourish and i got to see his figure lmao. i saw a report commenting that he needed to work on his vkei mode voice bc it was hard to differentiate and maybe???? idk i could tell the difference just fine, even if his voices don’t have as much of a gap as sakakihara-san or daigo-san’s

i want to throw up out of excitement thinking about nakanishi kuukou which is how i know he’s officially part of the kuukou brainrot LOL he’s kuukou!!!!!! he is so purely kuukou that everything i feel about kuukou is pushed onto him and i feel like i should apologise rn bc that comes with a heaping dose of objectification!!!!!! but it’s chill!!!!!!! *kicks down a wall* HES GOT MUSCLE ON HIS TINY FRAME!!!!!!!!!!!! like when he gets going going, that jacket starts slipping off and the camera caught just the right angle and lighting to show the contours on his arm muscles and i started yelling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thick neck thick calves thick arms HES BUFF!!!!!!! BLESS NAKANISHI-SAN!!!!! and thankfully it’s not for the aesthetic like he’s athletic asf too with jump kicks backflips air somersaults and the like. he is probably the best person to have gotten the role after someone like hirono-san, whose kuukou has shaped the character so thoroughly that even in this new stage, direction choices were made to preserve the hype his kuukou envokes. if the writing on nakanishi kuukou stays the course, it’d honestly be a bonus to have that extra hype kuukou lol. and on that note

I DONT HATE STAGE KUUKOU WRITING LOL🙌🙌🙌

now it’s just an origin story so there’s plenty of time for shit to go awry but rn i’m feeling massively satisfied lol. there were some lines that were raising my hackles but frfr??? that’s just me being sensitive after all these years lol it’s fine. no nod to kuukou’s history with ichiro but tbh i don’t come to the stage for that lol but it made me think of the complaint that nagosaka’s get together story felt rushed compared to the other divisions. and they were lol but i’m not sure if that’s the stage’s fault or the source material. on bat’s side, bc they formed nagosaka alongside the og teams in the stage, ramuda’s development thru bat got axed in favour of jyushi falling for rei’s scam that brought dh together. it’s a choice that further isolates nagosaka so while within the stage narrative it makes sense (does jyushi’s character a disservice tho), it kinda annoys me thinking about the long term lol but it’s probably not going to matter in the long term either so ultimately it’s fine. i guess. maybe lol

one last nakanishi-san ramble and i’m done lol but that fanservice part really showed off his charm lol like when he rolled up on some fans arms spread wide and demanding their ears and attention!!!!!! 😫😫😫😫🙏🙏🙏🙏 and as he was heading back on stage, there was a lone bat fan along that aisle so he paused and leeeeeeeeaned back into that backtrack and flashed the bat hand sign at her and i couldn’t stop my unholy noises even if i tried he’s so cute omfg help he’s adorable like actually 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

#this is vee speaking #this is the clifnotes version yes lol the other post would have been much longer LOL #i didn’t say it but i was also reeeeeeaally charmed by new encounter ramuda lol #like…………… he’s so full of life and cute…………….. he’s so bouncy…………….. cute……………. #i enjoyed the music and production quality like it’s still the stage!!!!! even if it doesn’t have all the flair legends era actors gave it #another complaint i saw was over the team songs not being incorporated into the play and i understand but lmao #those are team songs so it wouldn’t make sense for them to be in the play itself when none were a team yet #the stage even kept the detail of no one having their team emblem in their design UNTIL those team songs #trust these guys lol they know what they’re doing

[an-enigma-in-orbit]

I'm replying to your post.. (an-enigma-in-orbit/733264454116065280).

Have you watched the movies? In the End Of Sky movie, Kizzy told all the other gangs they left to pursue their dreams of being in a band.

And! To make this situation even funny, those four men in real life, are a part of an actual Visual Kei band known as the Golden Bombers.

So Kizzy's reference of them being in a band was supposed to be just a joke based on the fact that those men are actually musicians.

Just some trivia.

I KNEW they looked familiar omg thanks for the random fact anon!

I don't listen to a lot of vkei bands from that era so I didn't recognize them lol...

I have watched the movies, and I thought that scene was funny context aside (really, being in a band is no reason to kick someone out, what was rocky thinking? they could've performed at his club and they would have both made twice the money)

i want you to know i am big fan of the ska-related rei posts. theyre very good. trumpet 🎺 bwaah

RIGHT ???? i know undead is supposed to be a vkei rock band but they just so arent . their music is like if ska punk was jpop and i KNOW its all reis fault . catch him pushing 90 on the freeway going mental to come on eileen by save ferris

they are all rock music enthusiasts tho so jus for funsies heres what i think their personal aesthetics/music tastes are ( and band examples for ppl not familiar w genres )

rei - ska punk ( ex: save ferris , link 80 , random hand )

kaoru - emo ( ex: mcr , paramore , blink182 )

adonis - goth rock ( ex: bauhaus , depeche mode , the cure )

koga - punk rock ( ex: green day , the offspring , talking heads )

I downloaded the app Langmate since it’s supposed to be an app for language exchange partners in Japan. My Japanese is pretty good but it can always improve, so I was excited about making new Japanese friends and practicing Japanese right? All it is is horny Japanese guys who like my huge tids and “cute chubby” body. Like wtf. Like first of all Japan no woman wants to be called chubby even if you try and make the word cute (it’s ぽっちゃり/pocchari for those curious) and secondly don’t start a conversation with “wow I love your huge boobs!”. Ughhhhhhhhhh. A couple creepers here or there I understand but it’s literally every dude. I’ve gotten dick pics and cum shot videos and I’m just like, umm thanks, good for you? Like I’m married and have a boyfriend and I just want someone to talk about Vkei and food about 😭😭😭 I don’t need a second boyfriend in another country.

[kuruk]

Youre screenshotting and talking about someone, and then making posts about their responses to your posts, but theyre not supposed to consider you talking to them if they see it...?

they could not have possibly seen it without scrolling through all the vkei tournament notes or being sent the post directly it did not have many notes. the person who made the tournament made fun of mcr fans too we all did sorry..

#and how is that second part anything. if you're reblogging my posts and complaining of course j might perhaps respond..

[dweebishboy]

I think listening to vkei is 90% of the reason

I’m not actually looking hot, just feeling it because of the tunes I suppose…

[beatlynxx]

cube is opening requests !!

there's nothing much to it but i have a few rules/boundaries to set before you go request so please read this carefully

please only request one (canon!!!) (beyblade!!!!!!) character at a time !! you can do and/or requests but not two characters in the same picture

you can request anything from bakuten shoot s1 to beyblade x (for burst only up until turbo). basically anything that's in the tags

minus fierce battle only and rising only characters that appear after chapter 10 for bakuten shoot though

if your character has more than one design throughout the show feel free to specify which design you want to be drawn

i don't draw sacred/bit beasts or any nonhuman characters for that matter, only humans, please. sounds stupid but someone did try to request suzaku/dranzer once lol

make sure you are familiar with my current artstyle. just go through cubic.png to look at my newest pieces

requests if we never talked to each other are ok ! anon requests are also a-ok !

my requests are free to use as long as you credit me and just don't claim them as your own lmao

and last but not least: check. the. request. status

that is it...!!! you can now see your beyblade blorbo in the style of yours truly i suppose. i'll get to every request when i can

for requests that aren't beyblade related please also read below the cut

you can request other (fictional!!!!!) characters also, preferably from media i'm familiar with !

just tell me their full name (if they have one) and what media they're from

the only real people i'd be willing to draw are vkei bandmen

feel free to rather request through my curiouscat for stuff that isn't beyblade related if we're twitter mutuals

please just clarify who you are if you're not off anon

tumblr asks work too but just fyi i won't post it on here, only on twitter

Gakuto Deshimaru ρν (Rho-Nu) Review

Hello again! The pace of reviews will likely quicken for the next month since I’ll be going on hiatus in late August. Want to make good on all my review plans! Today we’ll be returning to Gakuto Deshimaru. I reviewed one of his other voicebanks a while ago. It’s unusual for me to review multiple voicebanks of the same character, but I’m a huge sucker for visual kei banks so this one intrigued me. I will be using the romanized name for ρν, since I’m too lazy to copy and paste the Greek every time.

This review was requested on anon, but likely by the same one who asked for Deshimaru the first time.

*Art by minome

Hear a Sample of Gakuto Deshimaru Rho-Nu

Bio

Name: 学人デシマル (Gakuto Deshimaru) Age: 17 Height: About 11 Scientific Calculators Weight: About 631 Scientific Calculators Birthday: December 16 Sex: Male Character Item: Scientific Calculator Likes: Mitsuha Renko, Kaiyou Mitsuyo, Math, scientific calculators, having to wear the same set of clothes, Vine, circles, triangles Dislikes: procrastination, regular calculators Personality: Now that he wears contacts, his persona fully changes to a narcissist. Almost on par to his friend, Mitsuha Renko. He usually only wears contacts when he performs on stage, with this voice, or the other voicebank of Rho, a deep power bank!

Official Site

Deshimaru has an official website on Neocities. Rho-Nu can be found at the bottom of the page above the Toki Pona voicebank. The voicebank is about 96 MB when unzipped and has fully generated frqs and pmk files.

First Impressions

This version of Deshimaru has a strong, nasally masculine voice. He was recorded at A2, D3, G3, and C4, giving him a wide range. 

Configuration

Rho-Nu is a 4 pitch CVVC with a super compact reclist (just 34 base samples!) Extras are vocal fry, glottal stops, and rolled Rs. There are also standalone consonants, likely for better results in English.  The oto doesn’t seem to have been edited in setparam, since it uses whole numbers. Some parts appear to be copy pasted for each pitch, of course with the cutoff periods changed. There’s also  autoestimation cache files left over so I guess they used an OREMO base as a starting point or something like that. The VC endings use a 1:3 ratio, pretty common for this recording style. The few - CV aliases there are have the overlap set to 0 for some reason, a bit of a strange choice. Some of the CV parts in general also have the overlap a bit too small.

This is meant to be a vkei bank but I don’t hear it very much? The definition of a vkei bank is rather, loose, all it really means is that it takes inspiration from visual kei singers. But this Deshi lacks the usual accent/sound they have, other than being nasal and powerful. He still suits the genre, I just kept forgetting he was supposed to be a vkei bank while listening to the recordings. His default Rs are pronounced more like English Ls which is something.

I’m unsure if the recordings were cleaned up in post, but they have a noisy feel which makes the voice sound rather rough in the editor.

My recommended flags: B30H20Y80P100g1~5

My recommended resamplers: f2resamp, w4utau, EFB-GT

Final Thoughts

Deshimaru’s vkei bank is a good addition to the lineup and keeps his character voice feel while being more powerful. Another reason why people should stop being afraid and embrace CVVC <3
