 | | Visual Kei, which was developed in Japan, boasts beauty as the main theme, where musicians are represented as absolutely gorgeous, or can be described as very cool and very distinctive. | | | The ever emerging new visual rock groups such as Luna Sea, Malice Mizer, and Dir en grey, not only reached great heights in terms of their music talents, but they also mixed their own personality into their style and visual appearance, showed a deeper level of thinking that surpasses the realm of music. | | | A while ago, several bands appeared in China, waving the visual kei banner, but the disappointing fact is that their actual thinking is far from that of actual “Visual Kei”. |

| | Visual Kei |
| | But while the principle of visual kei as a form of expression is the same, the style is quite different from glam music. | | | Now that the concept of visual kei has been altered by mainstream media, the line between visual rock and other groups of music is becoming more and more fuzzy. | | | It's become apparent that visual kei has become more of a fashion movement than an actual music genre. |

| | Kurai's Translations |
| | Kei is Japanese for "style." Really, there is no difference between the make-up dramatics of visual kei and earlier artists of the "gothic 80s" in Europe. | | | By this time, visual kei had enough of a following to have a mediocre scene which supported musicians much like a orphanage for foster children; average musicians (Kisaki of Mirage comes to mind) were never allowed to go away, as bands sprung up and died down at nearly equal paces. | | | The term visual, used in Japanese as an English loanword, refers to the visual appearance of the artists. |

| | Visual Kei bands come in an array of different styles and has two subgenres itself. | | | This being the case groups who wish to step beyond this demographic often drop the visual kei image and concentrate more on their music. | | | As I've said before, Visual Kei mainly has a female audience. |

| | despite this, visual kei's audience is comprised mostly of young people; older folks tend to stay away from it. | | | but still on the topic of gender roles, one interesting point to observe about the scene is the ratio of female recording artists in j-rock when compared to j-pop; particularly in the visual genre. | | | in music, you can find many sub-genres [kei] like angura kei and shironuri kei. |

| | 11-17-2005 09:05 PM One of the biggest Visual Kei bands was 'Luna Sea' from Korea, who were active between 1989 and 2000. | | | Visual kei is the best thing i ever saw! | | | 09-28-2005 01:48 AM Not that you asked me, but I would say no. This maybe becuase I dislike Marilyn Manson and _like_ visual kei, but the reason I would argue with is that: At least the visual kei music I've heard, it all has a paticular sound/feel that Marilyn Manson doesn't have anything near to. |

| | Visual Kei - Psychology Central |
| | Within the field of Visual Kei are several popular 'sub-genres', including Gothic Lolita, EroGuro and Angura Kei, which form particular visual styles. | | | Bands in the early '90s such as LUNA SEA, ZI:KILL, Shazna, and Baiser along with previous bands BUCK-TICK and X JAPAN encouraged a "boom" of this media culture. | | | Visual Kei bands, being defined primarily by visual style, do not necessarily play a specific type of music. |

| | Visual kei was originally influenced by Western bands such as Kiss, the Sex Pistols, David Bowie, etc. The movement began with X-Japan and is maintained in full force by Dir en grey. | | | As the leader of Glay once said, there is pop rock (white music), and there is punk rock (black music). | | | To my knowledge, there are no females in visual bands. |

| | Visual Kei |
| | The biggest and, perhaps, most surprising thing about visual kei is the music that these bands produce. | | | Even from visual bands, the music is often still the light pop/rock that you're used to hearing as anime theme songs. | | | You have bands like Malice Mizer who practically redefine the term everytime they perform, or you have groups like Glay or L'Arc~en~Ciel who only maintain minor visual elements and can really no longer be defined as visual bands (although both Glay and L'Arc have members who sometimes revert back to their old ways). |
