Wikipedia - Visual Kei

Visual kei (ヴィジュアル系, vijuaru kei?, literally "visual style" or "visual system") is a movement among Japanese musicians, that is characterized by the use of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics. Some sources state that visual kei refers to a music genre, or to a sub-genre of Japanese rock, with its own particular sound, related to glam rock, punk and metal. However other sources state that visual kei's unique clothing, make-up, fashions, and participation in the related sub-culture is equally as important as the sound of the music itself in the use of the term.

Got a friend who's into Versailles too, always told me to listen to their songs.

It's good for him though cuz I can see his guitar skills increase a lot after playing their songs

But I still can't get into this genre yet.

sorry i cannot enjoy this

Malaysian barber can do this hair style? I oso 1 go do.

Barber kenot, hairstylist can

The key is, I believe, using the right styling products. Watched a Youtube video b4 showing how to achieve this look.

they can cosplay barrett from ff7

So to i have to buy the clothes and apparel at I-SOCKS from TimeSquare to be one? :-/

Own culture don't want to follow. Want to go follow foreign and alien culture.

We should be wearing sarongs. It's comfortable and airy.

Bringing me back the good old days in BTS Isocks.

AGREED~~~

visual kei =/= cosplay

nope. you should apply common logic.
the kind that you just posted have no relation what so ever to TS thread
not even the level of intelligence.
so you're either stupid or trying too hard to troll.

Uruha from the GazettE

but if we wear that.. ppl(iranian) might think we are living in tree.. how?

zidane

Yeah, he is cool

inb4 guest18

Btw I couldn't find this shop, can gimme more direction?

Jrock

no offense to fashion sub culture, but its not cosplay for christ sake.

Cosplay is not Visual Kei, yes
But Visual Kei more often than not has elements of Cosplay

That's their problem. Not our problem.

how ever if u're doing an accurate portraiture of a visual kei band member for example cosplaying as Mana Chan from Malice Mizer, that is consider cosplay, other wise they are two different categorize and there's no interlink elements. Sorry, being an experience cosplayer, cosplay =/= visual kei, lolita steampunk and whatsoever fashion regardless of its advant garde costumy feel.

It's in Times Square, I forgot the floor. Just ask in the directory counter, they can give you the direction. It's not hard to find anyway.

Dir En Grey's sound is a bit too heavy to ma taste

Modern VK band I still root for Versailles


Teru & Hizaki

lol apparently reita's 'nose pad' made him a hot factor for gazette fans

What's the rationale actualy? He's got a flat nose?

Any Visual Kei underground cainis rock band here?
