Visual Kei, or Visual Style, is an artistic movement among Japanese musicians that is characterised by the use of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics, in the style of David Bowie. It came about in the early 1980's, spearheaded by bands such as DEAD END, X Japan, and BUCK-TICK, and has existed in various forms ever since. (You can see more of the history over on the Useful Notes page, if you like.) It is often considered a Sub-Genre of J-rock (a term referring to Japanese rock in general), with its roots in Glam Rock, Shock Rock, Punk, Heavy Metal, and Kabuki Theater, though its use outside of Japan is making this somewhat an outdated definition. As is usual amongst more theatrical musical genres, the aesthetics are supposed to be as strong as the music in order to complement and enhance it, and although there have been many trends over the years there is no defining sound. In the current scene, for instance, the most commonly used genres are hard rock and Heavy Metal (except for within the Oshare subgenre, which favours pop-punk or pop rock, and Digital kei, which can span everything from Electronic Music to pop), but there is also horror punk, Power Metal, Gothic Metal, electronic, pop rock, nu-metal, Industrial, Metalcore and even Death Metal. Even some rare Rap Metal and straight-up rap can be found. Exactly which genres are used often depends on the time period: In the 80's rock and glam metal were popular; in the 90's a heavy goth influence came in and many bands developed a softer or more experimental sound, with the use of synth becoming common; and in the early 2000s Metalcore, Alternative Metal and Pop Punk have become the norm. As of The New '10s, Heavy Metal of various subgenres and Hard Rock are experiencing some renewed interest despite most said bands being unsigned or reunions of older HR/HM acts (or ongoing acts such as BUCK-TICK, Dir en grey, and The Gazette), and Electronic Music styles are gaining popularity among newer bands and solo artists, while the majority of label signings and promotion and publicity still tends to go to Pop Punk Oshare Kei artists. Despite the highly feminine appearance of many VK musicians, the majority of band members, as with other rock genres, are male. |

Clip Show: Most Visual Kei DVD are this - clips of performances, of tour events, sometimes interviews with the artists or other stuff. Many promotional videos and performance videos are also these, even when they claim to be live, they may be a pastiche of several lives. The latter is most notorious with anything related to hide, as all the official DVD for him are Clip Show rather than the film of one single complete live show. | |

In the Western fandom, there are the (usually LiveJournal based, but they're possible anywhere that allows anonymous commenting on a post) "hate memes" which consist of anonymous commenters (many of whom are actually sockpuppets of each other) trashing people they hate. Unlike Tanuki, these tend to target fans and fandom people as much as they do active artists, and posts are often even more grudgy than Tanuki or the like, because even the pretense of the discussion being anything but a bash-fest is gone. | |

Loudness - Not really a VK band, but they did use kei-inspired visuals for some time (1991-92 especially) and were influential in establishing the early scene note Yoshiki and Toshi considered them one huge inspiration for their future band, which was the Trope Namer and Trope Maker of Visual Kei, and covered "In The Mirror" as one of their very first performances as "Noise" in the early 80's, As of 2013 the vocalist is experimenting with VK once more.

Many bands of the scene are often compared to western bands: X Japan to Judas Priest, Dir en grey to Faith No More, The Gazette to Deftones and Rammstein, Versailles to Nightwish, An Cafe to Blur and Oasis, Blood Stain Child to In Flames, Loudness to Metallica and Megadeth, Deathgaze to Sepultura and so on... | |

Chrono Cross: One of the characters you can pick up in your character's journey (and one that is arguably fairly plot-important) is Nikki, a Visual Kei bandleader and guitarist who is equal parts shoutout to hide (he's a redhead with eye makeup very much like hide's, and plays a yellow heart guitar) and Nikki Sixx from Mötley Crüe. In the Japanese version he was named Slash instead of Nikki, which made him a shoutout to the Guns N' Roses guitarist and to hide. | |

That said, don't make the mistake that you can necessarily tell someone's sexuality by how androgynous they are. As an example, Kaya is out as gay and one of the most convincing crossdressers in Visual Kei, but Mana, another of the most convincing crossdressers, is straight. Also, in Japanese culture, androgyny and crossdressing are not as equated with same-sex attraction as they are in the Western world - whereas being overweight or heavily muscled and hypermasculine behavior are. | |

Blackmail: VERY common in the scene. Some of the more notorious forms involve leaking compromising photos (anything from nudes or sex photos to simply pictures of the artist out of costuming/makeup or looking ugly or sick), claiming to have been impregnated by an artist and/or having been forced into an abortion or to move overseas, claiming one was lied to about a marriage or exposed to an STD, claiming that one is a secret yakuza, or pretty much any other embarrassing or career-damaging allegation that can be made and either "proved" to some degree or just lied about convincingly enough. | |

Most bandmen will use forms of Double Entendre or other wordplay to communicate being gay/bi/trans or communicate drug use, if asked about such subjects in an interview or other context without actually saying it. This plays into Japanese culture, where admitting, say, that one finds one's own gender attractive would be seen as crass and outre - so to say one is "embarrassed" by their reaction to a man flirting with them, or to vaguely mention "taking pills" to refer to drug use or to refer to a mental breakdown as "nervous exhaustion," are ways to convey the meaning without being too public. | |

Yoshiki is probably one of the most opposed to suicide musicians in the scene having been a survivor in both senses of the word (of his father's intentional suicide, his closest and best friend's accidental suicide, and at least one attempt of his own), but his lyrical explorations of his grief and feelings could be a trigger to some (and were one to his own vocalist which he didn't know until Toshi left to join the religious cult in the hopes of it healing his mind) as much as they've been possibly lifesaving to others (what with the nature of the beast - the very thing that helps one person back from the edge can shove another over it) | |
