There will be a covers album released next month which sees the best of the current Jrock and Visual Kei bands covering the best of Jrock and VK bands of the 1990s

This is D's cover of Malice Mizer's 月下の夜想曲

I really like D, and this is very much in their style of song and I LOVE the original so I'm kinda confused over whether I like it or not

Yeah, I think the lead singer (forgot his name!) did a great job with vocals. It sounds very modern, indeed, but I can't listen through all of it. The guitars are a bit too heavy.

Asagi XD He has a good and distinct voice.

I like heavy guitars so I don't mind that, I'm just not sure that this is the song for them.

Heh, I'm not a really huge Malice fan in the first place and the original was a bit too whimsical for me so I don't mind this version. Is this the only Malice cover on the album? I'd like to hear someone do one of the MM songs I actually like (Bel Air, Syunikiss, Le Ciel)

EDIT: Or Illuminati, can't forget that one.

I like heavy guitars, and the vocals are good, so I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this song XD...I kinda like the beginning and all. I've always liked classical (sounding) music played on guitar, but then another part of the guitar was like "meh" for me. At least for this song that is...Or I'm just partial to G XD LOL.

That's pretty much what I thought.

If this was a song on it's own, and not a cover, I'd probably love it without question. As it is, I love the original so I'm kinda torn.

I can't hear over the guitars. XD

I love D!! I really should try to see them live again next year.
I like both versions of the song but I'm not exactly married to the original. I enjoy Malice Mizer but they are not something I listen to very often. I may actually prefer the heavier guitars in a way. I love Asagi's vocals and I think he does justice to this song so I am happy enough.
