♫♪~Jrock Heaven Hangout~♫♪ [Open] Chat Away | #1 | ||
Jrock Wonderland
Do you love jrock which include the Oshare Kei and Visual Kei genres? Well then this is the hangout for you~! Visual kei literally "visual style" or "visual system", is a movement among Japanese musicians, that is characterized by the use of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics. Some state that visual kei refers to a music genre, or to a sub-genre of Japanese rock, with its own particular sound, related to glam rock, punk rock and heavy metal. However others state that visual kei's unique clothing, make-up, fashions, and participation in the related sub-culture is equally as important as the sound of the music itself in the use of the term. Visual Kei bands & artists inculde: Malice Mizer, Girugamesh, Mucc, The GazettE, X Japan ( who many believe started VK), Miyavi, Gackt, Exist+Trace, Dir en Grey, and so on. Oshare Kei is Japanese music and fashion style, translating to "fashion conscience." The bands of the oshare kei genre, unlike those of visual kei, are bouncy and bright, their songs focusing on happy and positive messages like friends and relationships. Their style is colorful and vibrant, sometimes similar to decora, but usually much more toned down. Other than occasional eyeliner and colored contacts, they rarely wear alot of makeup, also unlike the visual kei genre. Oshare kei started to appear around 2001, and was said to have been started by Ryo of Baroque in their PV "Anakuro Film". Kra, Ancafe, Irokui, Panic*CH, HeaRt, Ichigo69, Lolita23q, Shelly Trip Realize, Charlotte, Clavier and bis are examples of oshare kei bands.

These are the bands that I personally listen to, love and follow. Working on redoing my list __________________________________________________ _________________________________________ The following is MY opinion on what jrock and my bias, Kai of Gazette have done for me in my life and yes this is also written on my profile too. Most fans, I think, would rather marry their bias and have their bias’ baby. Me? I’d be pretty damn happy just to meet Kai, get a hug from him and have a picture taken with him. That’d be all I need to make my dreams come true. I know full well I can never have him. Meeting him is still my dream. I adore him so much. He is very under-appreciated but he deserves all the love he can get. I may call him mine or call him my husband/boyfriend but I know he’s not. It’s just for fun. That won’t stop me from loving him and respecting him as much as I do. Kai will forever be, my ultimate, one true bias. Anyone who doesn’t know this, doesn’t know me ;] Kai is my inspiration and has helped me smile when I’d rather be crying my heart out. I’m very thankful to have someone like him to inspire me. He makes everything better when I look at his pictures, hear his voice, see him laugh. Some people would call it an obsession and say it wasn't healthy to love someone so much when you can't have them or have little to no chance of ever meeting them...but it's my dream...and my dream keeps me going. If I didn't have this dream, I really honestly believe that I wouldn't be here. Jrock, in my opinion, has saved me. I have given up so many times in my life...but seeing their smiles, hearing their laughs and voices...even if I have no idea what they're saying...they make me happy. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I feel like crying and I get on youtube to watch Yomi being perverted and stupid or how many times I sit here and laugh at how much Hyde, Gackt and many others can NOT dance to save their lives. I can't even begin to picture where I would be if I didn't have this wonderful thing in my life. Jrockers are more then just a pretty face to me. They are more then just a sexy body with stylish clothes. Sure there are some I DO only like for their looks but I respect many of them. I can't say I respect all of them because some jrockers I just...cannot stand to any level. I listen to many, many bands and follow many of their careers. Some bands I enjoy watching them change, others I wish wouldn't change so much so fast. When they disband, it makes me sad. When someone dies, I feel sad for the fans who loved them. I guess what I mean to say is...my life without jrock would be miserable...more so then it is right now. Thank you japan...for the miracles you created. Thank you to the jrockers who put up with their crazy fans shit. Thank you for trying hard to make music for all of us. Thank you. Please remember that people love you no matter how hard things get. Your fans love you. We want YOU to be happy first before you worry about us and our happiness. | ||||
