I like it because its different and a way to listen to different music from other cultures. Also I like the way there music sounds (if that makes sense) and there style is unique for that one country.

What's you're favorite visual kei band? If you could go see anyone in concert? (No matter if they still do concerts or not.)

Mine would be X Japan. I would most definitely have to go see them or Malice Mizer.

I like VK because you have great music on one hand, and on the other, most bands' appearances are rather pleasing.

Also, I love the look on pretty much anyone's face when I tell them that they're guys. xD

That reaction is precious isn't it? I have MYV on my desk and my boss swears to me it's a girl. Everyone is googie eyed when I say "Oh him?" when they ask who is that. I have Kaggra on my desk too and they get the same reaction. It's soo funny.

I enjoy visual kei because it's expressive. And in a healthy, artistic way...artistic in both a musical and visual sense. When I'm feeling upset I can turn up Dir en grey and know that there is someone else out there in the world who knows what I'm going through. And that's just one example~

I'd also like to say that I dislike it when others rant, "But it's all about the music! If you like them for their looks you're not really a fan."

Um, no. Not necessarily. As a visual person who loves fashion and make-up I should be allowed to enjoy what a band wears. At the same time, my favorite bands know how to play because yes, the music is important too. <3

Very well said! I feel the same way. The music is great and I enjoy they way these bands express themselves visually. It's unique and that's what makes the whole genre great.

Why do I like visual kei? It's unique. Not only the appearences of the band, but also the vocals and music. They don't conform, which is refreshing. Visual kei bands also have some members who are, in my opinion, some of the greatest musical talents in Japan today. Who can argue that Miyavi, Jui, or Juka aren't good singers; or that Hizaki and Mana aren't brilliant guitarists? There's just so much talent in these bands, and they really step outside the box, experiment, and make great music.

And then there's the visual aspect. They're GORGEOUS. I wish there were "common people" who dressed like that, because guys who aren't afraid of skirts and make-up make me melt.

I wish the same thing.
