Do ya'll wanna make a Visual Kei Fanfiction Community here in tumblr? With of course an added discord group if we all would like!

I run @mouldymp3rotations where i hand out at least 5 free mp3s per month :3

For pretty much the rest of the year, I will be focusing on visual kei bands that built the foundations for my love for vkei, which is turning 20 this June !

I already posted the first one here (I thought I would get the obvious ones out of the way lol)

Now, I have several packs ready to be turned into post, but i don't know where to start, so I thought I would ask :)

Part VI of my 20th anniversary series and happy 1 year anniversary to this blog ! 🎉

Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V

As usual : Song titles link to individual mp3 file download

All 5 songs can also be downloaded together, in a zip file, from the link at the bottom

This month's rotation focuses on bands that were brand new, in 2004, but were already on the way to become the staples of visual kei they are today :)

アンティック-珈琲店- (AN CAFE) - 踊るメルヘン時計 (odoru meruhen tokei)

This is how i discovered an café ! And it's their only song i'll really go out of my way to listen to, not gonna lie lol. Back in high school, it became my best friend's favourite band for a while, after discovering them through me, so an café will always have a special spot in my heart despite not being my style at all !

Odoru meruhen tokei was found on the √69 single, released in 2004

彩冷える-ayabie- - マゾチ(三月に見た夢の再構成) (mazochi (sangatsu ni mita yume no saikousei))

Now that i think about it, it's funny that i always put ayabie in the same basket as soroban (for me being slightly disappointed that their usual sound is more kawaii than this) cause yumehito did go from soroban to ayabie (and it made everything sorse but that's another story and shall be told another time :))

mazochi was the second track of the GOTHIC PARTY single, released in 2004

D - 空中庭園 (kuuchuu teien)

I got really deep in D before realizing that I wished I liked more than I actually did lmao. This being said, they still have a handful of songs I should probably put in a regular playlist and kuuchuu teien is one of them.

Kuuchuu teien was released in 2004 as the opening track of the 夢なりし空中庭園 (yume narishi kuuchuu teien) single.

ドレミ團 (doremidan) - 傘月 (sangatsu)

I hope we can all agree that this has gained its classic status since then because that song is really fucking good.

sangatsu was on the 素晴らしきかな過多想募 (subarashiki ka na kata sou tsuno) single which released in 2004.

Here's me uploading the song here cause i can only find another version on yt

(this is how i learn there are several version of a song like 90% of the time lmao)

ナイトメア (NIGHTMARE) - be buried

It's nightmare's fault i got into Death Note, but it's another unfortunate case of it all went downhill from there, oops. I always had a good time listening to one of their songs, but finding something to say about this song in particular made me realize that I always used nightmare's songs to plug holes in my 43247874 burned discs compilations, especially this early in my getting into vk... In the end, I think I went with this song cause it captures well their sound from the era :)

The 8th track of the LIVID album was be buried and was released in, you guessed it, 2004.
