LuLu are some mad scary doctors. I think they are actually quite precise at cutting up some tasty guitar licks.. but I wouldn’t trust them on their doctor skills. “301 Byoushitsu” should convince you that these men of medicine are much better visual kei rockers than life doctors. When the guys are off duty, they … Continue reading »
Bring out your dead.. Kiryu is slicing up heads in their bloody good cray cray single “愛怨忌焔.” I hope you like gruesome. The whole video is sawing at the lead singer’s neck. It’s a slight bit disturbing. So yeah, this isn’t exactly the softer side of visual kei. Turns out this song is the band’s … Continue reading »
The “Jailer of Justice” ain’t nuthin’ to fuck wit. Why? Well he’s got a freakin’ sword. Misaruka looks like a band of pirates and wenches lead by a fantastical pretty boy. Yep, that’s visual kei.. but that also means they usually know their way around a guitar. It’s classical and gothic and metal all rolled … Continue reading »

Awwwwwww. “Shooting Star!” Say it like Molly Shannon’s “SUPERSTAR!” and you get “SHOOTINGSTAR!” Love it. I also like … Continue reading »

It’s Sakura Season! And who does sakura songs better than Visual Kei bands! Heck yeah, it’s Black Gene for the Next Scene’s “Sakuran Trance Destiny.” Holy shit this song is all over the place from electronica, to crunchy metal to autotune to spin me right round baby 80′s hair metal guitar solos. Absolutely love this … Continue reading »
When it’s cold outside, it’s best to stay inside and SCREW. That melting icicle symbolizes a dripping SCREW “Teardrop.” Yeah, SCREW has this moody visual Kei rock on lock, and the somewhat depressingly lovely single “Teardrop” will make the goth girls go wild. I dig it too. Plus, there is snow. Collect your Teardrops at … Continue reading »
If you have a visual kei band that has that whole anime look thing going on, why not make a full-fledge live-action sci-fi anime video! “The 25th Century Love” gets points for its little mini-story about a kidnapped girl in the future and how the band comes together with spaceships and photo guns and a … Continue reading »
Boys will be boys. And leave ADAMS to role play a dinner on the beach Weekend at Bernie’s style and well you see what happens in the acoustic rocker “Boku No Sei.” Well if you know anything about the duo of ADAMS, you know these guys fully represent Boys Love in their videos. Call them … Continue reading »
These are not the tears of joy, or even the tears of joyz. These are the tears from watching the latest video from Royz, and it burns. While I’m totally not the visual kei demographic, I’m sure there are thousands of anime rock visual kei girls and boyz that love their Royz. This is indeed … Continue reading »
