Visual Kei!

[UchihaBrat]

I'm pretty sure some of you know what Visual Kei(lit. Visual style/system) is, as most of us are manga nerds and are likely to learn a bit about Japan and its music culture as a result of our overflowing love!

For those whom doesn't know what it is, let me introduce you to it!
Generally speaking, it's a very visual kind of music style, as follows rationally from its meaning, but it isn't just any type of visual presentation! Well, I don't know about all bands, but in most cases bands look like this one, my favourite V. Kei band, Antic Cafe:

If you watched Darker Than Black, then you'll recognise it from one of its openings!
Basically, they put on make-up and appear slightly feminine and overly ornamented, with clothes and hairstyle!
Here's another of their songs:


More importantly, POST GOOD VISUAL KEI SONGS!​

I really enjoyed listening to the first vid because japanese singers are the greatest and although i didn't understand what he was singing about i still thought the song was spectacular

edit: Hahaha.. Visual Kei probably wasn't that well known after all:ghehe:

Ah, it's both apparently~ While it points at their style of clothing etc. it has also become a term used when referring to music where the artists have this style.

So many bands! O_O I'ma check 'em out!

I'm mostly into the music, so I haven't read any manhwas
Do you have any to recommend? ^^

Thank you

I'm at chapter 9 of Noblesse now, and I loved every page of it ~^^
It was relly funny and interesting even this early
The only thing that I didn't like was that there is not very much on eachpage, mostly huge pics and huge texts, but I guess it is ok xD

That's manhwa for you!xd It's the style they make it in, so you'll just have to bear with it:shrug:
I know it is kinda annoying not to be able to read 20 pages instead of long strips, you get used to it though~
