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

Isn't Visual Kei the style of clothing? While J-rock is the style of music?

Anyway, Gazette best V.K. band EVER! Also bands like Girugamesh, Dir En Grey, Nightmare, Versailles, Anli Pollicino, Kagrra, Alice Nine, High and mighty color, maximum the hormone, Deluhi, Rentrer en Soi are some jrock/V.K bands that are awesome :D There are many more, but not going to list EVERY band i like xD

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 do~
Noblesse and The Breaker are quite good!
Thank you :D

I'm at chapter 9 of Noblesse now, and I loved every page of it ~^^
It was relly funny and interesting even this early :p
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~
