r/visualkei

What's there not to say about them? Everyone active around 2010 visual kei era knows them because of: Sunrise PV. That song was massive in the day, though from that era I pretty much prefer Satellite TV

Their songs varies between summer-y vibes, SKA, Jazz and blue sounds. They even have a Jazz show that I recommend checking if you're into that kind of music.

They would also play some really good ballads such as Aoi Tori and Sei Ni Shigamitsuku

I'd say my favourite song by them is Myojou Orion

Their genre varies, but don't actually lean into a heavier side (but they have some 'heavy' song but not really that hard)

Last but not least, their debut song Flashback was massive back in the day and they even remastered it.

They're still active, but they fell into obscurity I don't know why. Either way, it's worth checking them out!

Awoi was a band which is pretty much defined by 'depression and melancholy' if it were a band.

Most (if not all) of their songs are onto the heavier side of metal/rock. Combining melancholic melodies and heavy riffs.

I met the band with Black Hole PV but I actually prefer more Zetsubou no Taiyou PV

If you are in the mood of 'hating yourself, getting depressed and down the hole' this is the band for you (but also if you want to check some bangers)

Sharing some scans from GLB and a couple of fun facts from reading this interview:

• Kamijo first saw the movie "Interview with the Vampire" and then went back and read the book. He acknowledges that although fans had opinions about Tom Cruise's casting as Lestat, he personally thinks only Cruise could play that role.
• To Kamijo the most beautiful thing in the world is the smiling faces of his fans that come to his shows (how romantic)
• He has relatives in America!

Someone told me that the Visual Kei band Chanty members wear similar to Japanese variations of kimono and yukata. So they must be Wafuu Kei band.

Also looks it like he is doing AI music, which is disappointing to say the least. He has a great voice.

Please let me know if any of these are wrong! I don't know all the bands so I used English translated names for some of them. 😅 I also labeled any logos that were just hard to read, even if they were in English

Forgive glare and imperfections as I used my phone.  I acquired some big-ass tour books at plenty of rock shows back in the 80’s (still have them all!) but none as big as this…measures 14 x 20 unopened.  The merch people couldn’t tack on another 2 inches horizontally so a single page can fit into a standard 16 x 20 frame (if one were inclined)?  Still an awesome, epic piece, though… 💙
