    Himeaimichu got a reaction from KrumpingChihuahua in Is there a reason Wagakki Band isn't associated with Visual Kei? I just watched one o   
    Their Taiko drummer, Shakuhachi player and guitarist do have Vkei cred. Kurona and Daisuke played together in CrowXClass, which did call themselves Visual Kei. Machiya (I heard he goes by Omura now?) Used to be in some Vkei bands before starting m:a.ture, which Wajow from The Gallo was also in.
     
    I think the main reason they're not considered Visual Kei is just music industry stuff. A lot of Vkei artists are inclined to deny being Vkei because of the image Vkei has. 
    I would say that unlike other "semi-visual" (as I call them) bands, such as Unlucky Morpheus, Wagakki really tries to just sell itself as mainstream J-Rock. Afaik, they haven't really put anything Metal out in years, and whatever Vkei looks they were serving, they aren't really anymore.

    There's something wrong here. Monyo was born in 1990, so he's 30. It's on his Twitter bio, but he changed it to 1900.

    Himeaimichu got a reaction from platy in This is a weird question, but am I the only one who thinks that smart phones have tak   
    @Gesu I think it would be cool if companies just added a little bit more diversity into the design of the phone. While I do think touch screen is amazing, I'm horrible at typing with it, and while it is easier to turn it sideways to type, the on screen keyboard takes up so much visual real estate. Plus, there really isn't much to hold onto now that some screens wrap around the phone, and using a phone for too long really hurts my hands because there is literally no ergonomics lol. I think phone companies kinda forgot they're making a handheld device, and it needs to feel good in the hands.

    You forgot about the biggest crime in smartphone design in the last years: removing the headphone jack. I don't care how convenient it is to have no cables - the jack worked fine and the sound quality is better and more reliable. I know people who'd smash their bluetooth speakers and headphones against the wall if it weren't for the peer pressure and "coolness factor". 

    The last years we didn't have any true improvements as storage, memory and cpu capabilities are only slowly getting better and at this point it's just producers and brands inventing new gimmicks to incite people to buy the lastest tech. Shit like making phones so thin they need a screen repair after one year and having to buy extra bluetooth devices or an adapter to listen to music are the things that help these companies to fake innovation to get more money… while prices are increasing every year.

    Himeaimichu got a reaction from Ada Suilen in Still can't get over the fact Hakuei claimed that only Japanese people can be Vkei be   
    Yeah but that would be an actual valid point devoid of logical fallacies whether one agrees or not, which isn't what Hakuei did lmao. He just projected his facial features onto Japanese culture and said "This is why non-Japanese people can't be Vkei". It's like when [insert professional opinion-haver whom shall not be named] said Hip Hop can't be music because it is only rhythm and not melody (ignoring that Hip Hop isn't just Run DMC rapping over a drum machine anymore). Like, damn I guess only classical music can be music.

    Whether you think Vkei can be Japanese only or not, the "sharp jaw" and "narrow face" argument is like the worst because... well... look at Japanese people! Hell, look at Hakuei's own bandmates lol. By Hakuei's own definition, Penicillin's drummer can't be Visual Kei because he has a rounder face.
    Sorry O-Jiro, maybe the Kamchadals or Chukchi will accept you into their culture, seeing as Hakuei is the CEO of the Japanese nationality.
    I have immense respect for Hakuei as a musician, but like... even if you believe Visual Kei belongs to Japan because of cultural reasons, the facial feature argument is shit

    Again with this argument... the genre has born in Japan, but this doesn't exclude that other countries can try to do it. Missing the times when Cinema Bizarre and old DNR were around... at least they confirmed how is easy to bring out a vk band without being specifically Japanese. It's like, "hey reggae is only for Jamaica!" or "hip-hop is only for black men from Harlem!" C'MON! 🤣

    I mean considering the amount of plastic surgery in scene I guess the VKei look is not japanese as well is plastified japanese, which would still require you to be originally japanese so you unjapanese yourself

    Well no...thats not a good argument why it only fits Japanes people.
     
     
    But to me, overseas visual kei, some people are good at it and look amazing. While others don't have such magical feeling and just look as any general alternative band. 
    It matters if someone can shine... even Japanes people fail in that (^^)/
