I agree with you on these points. I definitely hate all the drama on tanuki and also how some people act around foreigners at lives. But there is also a lot of stuff to love about vk too. Like the variety of sounds, the fashion, the pure creativity. I kind of navigated through the scene with blinders on and I avoided the drama pretty well. I suppose it's up to the individual to decide what they want to enjoy in the scene.
I really hate the negativity of fans. Why does everyone keep bringing up Gackt and Yoshiki? We get it. This community can be so toxic urghhhhhhh. But of course there are so many sweet fans. Also it killlls me that I can’t get merch or chekis. It’s so hard. That shipping from Japan fee ain’t a joke.
You look like the result of Yohio and Seike performing a fusion dance.
Thanks~ I think Yohio is pretty handsome and Seike seems to be a cool guy, so that's not an insult. :"D
Yes 🥰🥰🥰
after seeing some videos from fans of visual kei I have come to the conclusion that everyone likes to dress as their favourite band
I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't like being dressed up like that even though I am a fan of visual kei💀💀
also love your videos~
a fan from Greece
Thank you! But don't worry you're not alone~ To be honest I know more people who aren't into the fashion haha
Even Fans in Japan tend to dress pretty normal :D
Nice video. I've been an on/off fan of visual kei/j-rock for about 25 years now (I'm 40, so you can figure when I got into it). Over the years I've always just focused on the music and enjoyed what sounded good to my ears. I think if you focus on the behind the scene drama (and other fan opinions/views) and such it kinda takes something away from the music. I enjoy, A LOT, of different music, and I've occasionally dug deep into the drama/politics/etc. of those genres and it really tends to annoy me. For some reason though, I just never cared about all that stuff when it came to VK/J-rock. So, in a way, VK has always remained really pure to me, even though, like any genre of music it comes with its own brand of drama. I guess my point being, fuck other people, and just love what you love.
I will agree though, the expensive imports really hurt my wallet, but I love all the CDs once I get my hands on it. I just ordered this Lynch. box set a few moments ago. Really expensive, but I know I'll adore it once its in my hands (and stereo).
BTW, I think you're hair/make-up look great! I tried a VK look about 10-11 years ago, but I couldn't pull it off at all, haha. So, I'm just a pretty normal guy with long hair now, haha.
This. I used to be a little more invested in the behind the scenes drama, but I'm about to turn 30 and now I only listen to whatever sounds good to my ears. A lot of what I like to listen too just happens to be visual lei.
It’s amazing to know more about VK, I love VK, I love your videos.
I'm new into visual kei, and what got my attention about it was the fashion and makeup and uniqueness about it!!! And I have no idea what bands to listen to or where to start 😅 I also want to try and appreciate the music so if someone can recommend me some bands that'd be awesome! please ahshhd
That's awesome! :D Hmm, I think it's always good to start with Arlequin, Diaura, Royz or classic The Gazette. From there on you should find many great bands in the CZcams suggestions :D
I’m over here liking Malice Mizer lol
same here!!
Omg your bedroom wall looks like my bedroom wall when I was in my early 20s. I love it.
everything i've learned about tanuki i've learned against my will, honestly. i don't want to sound pretentious or judgemental, but i really, really don't understand why people would go to such extreme lengths for a chance to sleep with some band member. well, more precisely, i don't have any issues with that, more with these particular people who brag about having sex with vkei musicians, doesn't matter if it was real or imaginary, spread stupid rumours and act extremely misogynistic, abusive and just plain ridiculous. some fans really should learn how to treat other people with respect.
I love your vid, you're hella funny. Btw, dutchy here so we're neighbours. As someone that has been listening to VK for 11+ years(and still is listening), I'm almost 24, I can say that I love how unique some songs are and typically VK, for example sounds that go from emotional to fast or soft to hard etc. Also the way they dress is awesome. I use to dress the same as a young teen boy but I transitioned genders years ago so I'm not really into the clothing style anymore. I got a lot of respect for you the way you dress. I dislike the fact that so many bands dress this way only to attract fans instead of them being artistic in their own ways, kinda like a drag queen, all for entertainment and money. Back when I was younger I dressed the same to express my feminine side and felt I could relate but I later found out that most bands are actually normal straight dudes in their day to day life. Also the fact that most bands are put together by labels just to earn money made me realize VK is kinda fake. Nowadays I'm more into the early 90-00s bands but I use to be 00s-2012ish fan. I feel like songs are more autotuned these days and have a pop-ish sound to them. I go to concerts whenever a band comes to the Netherlands, last one was Morrigan, but not so many EU tours anymore. Keep doing you!
This is a very nice video and aww you are gourgeous!! and German language sounds wonderful :3 everything you've said is so true and omg I really know what you are saying >°< the VK group on Facebook..I think I know the group you are talking about. I am in a VK group on Facebook and I can say that it's pretty awful. Like, the majority of the people from that group is extremely rude to another people from that group and also they are rude about VK bands, artists, videos, appearance etc. Like they are judging a lot and to me it seems like they are disliking everything about VK but they are still fans (?) wut...I also seen that pic with VK warrior and I was like "seriously?? wtf dude" because I don't understand how they can laugh at some bad jokes or rude comments about VK artists...
I found a Facebook page for SID fans who are from the country I'm in. One of them messaged something in one of the band's livestreams. The message wasn't in English but it translates to "Make me pregnant, Aki (bassist)", and the one who messaged that is below 18😣😣😣. Well, it's a good thing no one in the livestream is familiar with my native language.
Those clothes are expensive too
So true. I can barely afford to buy K-Pop fashions.
VK will never die
I have waited this video so much and I'm not deceived ! So I'm mainly agree, especially when you talked about people's crying cause some bands are not going to their city... and I heard about some of them refuses to listen to the band anymore aswell o.o This kind of "fangirls/boys" actually disgust me !
But to be honest the video was not as negative as you said haha, that was a great stucture, you're talking about what you hate and then what you love and why you're listening to V-Kei instead... I don't know "American Hard-core" for example, or simple J-rock.
That was very pleasant TODORA, congrats and thank you !
Hope we can sing together again, I miss it ! :)
Light Vocal Covers Glad to read that :D
And yes, please! That would be awesome.
Btw I think you still have an unread message on instagram considering that "doing more than just smule" thing we've talked about |D
TODORA Aah you're right I had to work for my exams and I probably forgot to answer you, I'm so sorry >.< I will fix it now then ~
Light Vocal Covers No problem xD
Tbh I wouldn't be mad if they didn't come here literally no one comes to Georgia
Your hair is soo cute!! Mine is exactly the same but it stops at my shoulders. Now i wanna grow it put like this tho 😭
Ich war so hyped wegen dem VK ONE ding am ende und bemerke das das Video vor 5 Jahren ist😭
Jaa.. Tut mir leid xD VKOne ist leider auch nen Ding aus der Vergangenheit 😔
Well done!
I'm thinking about VK in a similar way, so I was happy to hear your arguments so similar to mine xD
About that DISBAND thing..
I found a few very old VK magazines (Peach 2006 usw xD) and there were many DISBAND messages. Also an article were the author talks about that DISBANDing thing, she (or he) said, that today, much more bands would broke up their career instead of working together for a long time. Sad thing, but now, lovely VK-Community, we can see that DISBAND is not a todays problem, it was there the whole time. 12 Years ago and nothing has changed about that!
Something I also wanted to talk about:
New bands!
I really like that oldie stuff. X, Buck-Tick and so on. Mostly, I listen to the "2000" Bands like GazettE, D'espa, Diru....
My problem with the new ones is, I'm lazy. I know some new bands and I want to hear some new bands, but I don't get into it. Maybe because most of my friends listen to the older ones or they don't introduce their new babes to me... For me, it's hard to search for new bands by my own... This is really sad I guess XDD
I don't know whatelse to say...
Just a great work again, I try to support you in the way I can, stay strong and so on...
Bla bla xD
I love your hair!
No Visual Kei band I listen to sells more than 1 CD.
Hmm, seems like you don't listen to that many Bands then öö
don't really know how i got here, but the way she speaks is so damn cute, ended up watching the whole thing... probably gnna check out this music later, any vid suggestions?
Thank you so much, really glad to hear that |3 Well, I think Diaura and Royz videos are always a good start :D
Hi im new in the visual kei comunity,im in love with looks and voices from all the v k bands,i wanted to ask u where u buy VK merch or clothic and acessories? I love u stay happy and be u❤❤
hi welcome to the community! Visual kei clothing brand new is usually expensive and hard to get overseas. You can start off with websites like CDJapan, and PunkRave. Gothic or punk clothing shops in general are a solid option . Closetchild sells a lot of preowned stuff. Probably your final choices are DIY or searching through regular shops and figuring out what pieces will work for visual kei. Best of luck 🙂
Really cool VK you have! amazing hair. o.O
the thing I dislike the most about the VK nowadays is the lack of creativity in the new bands. It feels like they got stuck in a formula, you know what I mean? like, they're copying each other. Sorry if it sounds too pedantic, but the VK old school bands were waaay more creative and talented. That freedom in those bands is what mesmerized me back then and I just don't see it these days.
Great video! ♥♥
Thanks for this video, so funny and honest. The daring glam, the weird chords and the wabi (hie-sabi) at the core of their lyrics and gestures // I take the latter from "Japan through the looking glass" by MacFarlane, p.79 the empty space felt inside by Japanese people, "being without a centre". That (as the visual-K) is so calming// About people spreading negativity they re so far from the glam they assume to worship ;) // about being foreigner, we can sneak around the barriers that u report by making choices and our curiosity urges us to dig deeply into a subject gaining a better consciousness.
I have one question that falls off the subject of VK but it’s more about one part of your outfit, what is that on your neck called, I’m very interested in getting one.
It's actually part of that shirt |D But you can find something like that if you look for Body Harness or Goth Harness :D
TODORA omg thank you, it’s awesome to watch a channel that talks about VK, the first video I’ve watched on your channel was “VK is dead” which it’s truly not and I’m glad for that, keep up the incredible work fam.
I enjoyed your video and there are so many points I agree and relate!!!!! Some people say that Vkei is dead but I believe it is still alive and part of wonderful Japanese subculture which should be cherished!!! I personally feel that there should be more band member who can speak English or foreign language so thai it can be more world-widely recognised!! I came acorss one Hong KOng born Japanese Vkei artist, he is still low profile but really unique in style! PLease check him out if you have time, his name is QUM! instagram.com/qum_official_/ Love your videos, please continue your good work!!! Cheers!
Saw your hair and subscribed
Bruh, at least people come to your country, I don't even know if they know about mine but ok💀 Gonna go to one concert one day, I hope I'll have a chance
OMG!!! you have seen Shohei!?!?!?!?!?!? I love him!!
Can you react to non-Japanese bands please? If you already haven't. For example, Bataar, DNR (Dreams Now Reality), Disreign, Kerbera, Yohio, Die May, Visual Moon, MaleRose, Alkemy, and such.
Yohio isn't really a band but I love his song My Nocturnal Serenade
We need a hairtutorial love
What was that squeaking was it a guinea pig or a bird?
Definitely a guinea pig.
3:33 I thougth it was my Eriol.... but he's been dead for the last 10 years :/
So sad to hear that..
Ich hab mega Angst vor der VKei Szene hier XD Deshalb bleib ich lieber für mich und beschwere mich grundsätzlich, dass ich keine Freunde habe, die voll da drinnen sind. Also ich kenne mittlerweile 2 Leute, einer ist n guter Freund geworden und die andere sehe ich auf Cons, aber wir reden kaum... dödömm
Jamie Marlok Ach nicht doch~ die meisten sind eigentlich ganz nett |3 Wobei ich dich echt verstehen kann wenn ich manche Kommentare so sehe XD
You used the word « like » about ... gosh so much « like » xD More than an hundred xD
BUT NO CARE CUZ YOUR VIDÉO ROCK! And you too :)
Yes I did hahaha. Thinking about it now.. I should have made an "like-counter" or something XD
But thanks alot! :D
I use like too much
Good video, however you sound a bit awkward 😂 nervous?
I think that it's cringy how some fangirls go all crazy over bandomen and then create that tanuki etc. I didn't quite understand what tanuki is but sounded like " drama ". I have a friend who moved into Japan and she goes to her fav band's concerts and instore events very often. Then I read about those and cringe so bad. Makes me question humanity time after time.
Another thing I hate is shipping bandomen. I see it as disgraceful. Nothing more of that.
I like your videos and I really hope that you would make more yt videos. It all doesn't need to be of vkei but some hair tutorials, makeup tutorials etc would be just really cool ;) I'd like to see you evolving further as youtuber. Yt doesnt have many western vkei youtubers after all. :)
Izaya000
Naa~ I had to speed up some parts, otherwise the video would have been even longer.. That's why I sound so Chipmunked at some parts XD
But yeah. I totally feel you when it comes to that shipping stuff vv I don't like it either.
And thanks alot :D I'll try to give my best. Actually I didn't want to make stylevideos but people keep asking me so.. maybe I'll change my mind some day haha
I know that this is unlikely but could you or someone please explain a little bit more about what you mention of Furitsuke giving VROCK's structure a meaning? Please.
I thought about making a more or less propper video about that in the future |3 But for now, it´s basicly rhytmical headbanging, handmovements and moshing(Not the disgusting, brutal kind that you might now from core concerts..) to certain parts of the songs, if you´d like to look into it I´d recommend to check out the channels とあるバンギャちゃん and 遠征ギャしてます
@@vninja yes please! If it's possible please make a video about that. And Thank you for answering :)
MiA PLAYS BETTER SOLO THAN SLASH!
YOHIO EUROVISION!
BOTH GREATNESS!
Buuuut, are you going to see Dir en grey??
ダイノサー京 Yeah öö
Fanbase sounds toxic as hell but I'm honestly not surprised with any rock genre, you always get fans like that.
Visual kei... again.... this kind of music is dead.
B.B krueger Obviously not
