Episode 14 features a talk piece on the life of one of the most influential movers and shakers of the visual kei indies scene, Kisaki. His name is universally know, whether from his contribution of Matina and the many bands he has played in and contributed to the success of (Phantasmagoria, Vidoll, 12012, HISKAREA...).

 

 

Have an opinion on Kisaki? How do you feel about the music he has made, the bands he has been in? Do you absolutely love Phantasmagoria -- or think monkeys could make better music, banging their fists on tree trunks? Whatever is it, however you feel about Kisaki, that's what I'd like to know.
