I've been talking blah blah about Visual Kei when I haven't introduced it to you guys yet, so let me introduce you the world I embrace so much. Visual Kei refers to a music genre, or to a sub-genre of J-rock , with its own particular sound, related to glam-rock, punk and metal. However, 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. So, basically, Visual Kei started from the band "X-Japan", which is pretty much an icon in Japan. Like many musical genres, Visual Kei had its ups and downs in the music industry, and it fell flat down when one member of the iconic band (X-Japan) died. After a crucial downfall, Visual Kei arised one more time with new bands, like "Dir En Gray (ディル・アン・グレイ)", "GazettE (ガゼット)","Phantasmagoria", "Versailles" and many more. Below are some pictures of the Visual Kei Artists that I've been a fan of:

Okay, so you'd probably be annoyed whenever I post things about GazettE, but you can't blame me. I' am a huge fan of GazettE, and when I say HUGE, it means HUGE!! I talk about them all the time and recommend them to my friends. It's not that they look so good(well they look really good, ain't they?) it's their fashion and music that I love and I' m a fan of Visual Kei, so fashion is a big factor when you choose this genre. Modern bands sometimes stick to one music genre only, but GazettE derives from one rock genre to another one. They have this awesome ballad rock songs like "Cassis" and "Guren", and then they have this hard rock sound like "LEECH" and so on. Their music is great, their fashion and clothing is great, so as the band members. Ruki has the best voice I've ever heard and damn he looks so hot. Uruha(my fantasy), he's so good at playing guitar and definitely a beauty. Aoi, two words "Disgustingly Beautiful", then we have Kai, the ever so energetic drummer who has a great smile. Reita, fan girls quotes him as a" Sex god" because he's got the sex appeal baby! So, this is all about GazettE for now. Check them out and you'll never regret listening to their music.


Cheerios! ;]
