    Today on Missing VK Children Radio: Have you ever listened to Yousei Teikoku or Asriel?
     
    I think the VK influence in both is pretty obvious judging by some core arrangements into their music, and also the looks on some of the male members. I wonder why they don't seem to have ever wandered a bit into the VK circuit. Judging by their respective wide catalogs of songs done for anime shows and videogames, and their live performances packed with dudes, I think they preferably managed to hook up an otaku audience, just as any other regular anison project. Also, it's obvious thath the fact of them both having a female singer sets this marketing strategy perfectly.

    It's really crazy listening to proto-kei bands like G-Schmitt and BOOWY, playing melodies and riffs that would become cliche in Visual Kei, many of them still cliches today.

    Returning to the idol kei topic.
     
    Nowadays, when I watch/listen back to ViViD —one of the first VK bands I came across and one that I enjoyed the most— I think I can acknowledge the hints that actually indicate how heavily they were produced to appeal to the crowds in an idol way. So, they surely weren't that pure and artistical about VK and stuff, and of course could have had more than one A-side produced by one or more ghost-writters...
     
    But, let's be honest: can we ignore the fact that the arranges of their songs were fucking brilliant, and so were their skills as interpreters? Many, many kudos to Reno's polished approach to shredded guitar, IV's hyper-melodic bass lines, and Shin's VERY well managing of the VK vocal traits —whose exaggeration in some cases ruined great capacities forever, like what happened with Nightmare's Yomi— while at the same time enduring a full show delivering a constant and massive vocal flow.
     
    This band was a fucking thrill, although the commercial intention of their project became so blatantly notorious in their last releases that many fans (myself included) lost interest almost inmmediatly.
     
    That said, I really wish that nowadays' idol kei bands, even if they put their efforts to make that kind of career into the scene, at least make something commercial in the level of the quality bands like ViViD did back in their time.
