oh comon, izam was a crossdressor, n the band was visual kei. They try to change their look so they can be popular again in 2007 , so dont discuss goth here, visual kei rulez forever.
Goth is an art style that's where it started from.
Japan does indeed think of Goth differently as some bands prefer to be called "goth" bands rather than visual kei or jrock. America is the the nest of goth? really? Are we referring to the original goth as in art or this stupid trend going around?
Goth is not just considered fashion in Japan were are you getting your info? Visual Kei maybe O.o
Trust me I've seen enough to validate my ideas. Japan is a cultural sponge, it takes from other cultures and warps it into something else. Any person who knows history and Japanese culture would know this. Some results are good while others can be offensive. Know where Lolita came from? Paedophilia from an American book. Know how the Japanese got Kanji? Goth is different from Gothic as well...
personally i find Japan being a sponge as a good thing and something to admire. Most of the time what Japan adopts they make better than the original place it was from.
Btw the "Lolita" is the character's name in that book. It began being used to identify (getting this from the mirium webster dictionary) "A precosciously seductive girl" which given the context in japan is actually quite befitting of the fashion, the clothes of which are "precosciously seductive."
but lots of people make the mistake of using goth as a blanket term. Either ways its good to share information in a mature way. Thankyou for not spazzing out.
I'll always prefer Izam dressed as a woman. He was just too pretty! But he still looks kind of feminine, which is very nice. Anyway, I'm so happy they're back! They're probably my favorite band.
Well, I got their 10th Melty Life album. I like it already. <3 Too bad their best of album is out of print and I find this out after I paid for it. Oh, well... Yesasia better give me my money back.
Goth doesn't have to be "dark" and "scary" all the time. That would make it kinda one-dimensional, don't you think? Just like good people do bad things and bad people do good things. If one applies this theory to their art, then it makes for more realism and greatly broadens their horizens. I don't think they would appear as assured and enthusiastic if they weren't staying true to themselves.
No, no, no T^T ! This is entirely wrong! Why must all these happy Visual bands turn to darker things? I mean, don't get me wrong, I actually prefer this kind of look/music but not on a band like Shazna. Sometimes I just need something happy, where do I turn to if all the happier Visual Kei bands become like this ;-; ? Oh well, *huggles Izam*, Izam is Izam I suppose ^3^ <3 (I'll probably like this first one better of these two)
It's not entirely wrong, they've been around for awhile and they've changed just like normal people. Most visual kei isn't "happy" just because they change their look doesn't mean they are all dark and depressed. Go listen to SUG or Vinett.
Most of the Visual Kei I listen to isn't the oshare kind actually. I never said they're all 'dark and depressed', just that this is very uncharacteristic of their usual style and sound :/ Like I said, I prefer darker styles and sounds but this just isn't the Shazna I remember~
true it isn't the Shazna any of us remember (though in the video Love is alive, Topaz and Magenta story they weren't actually happy and cute) They just saw it was time for a change. No biggie. Give 'em a chance to grow and try something different they may surprise you :D
Wow, that some radical change! I mean the clothes, but I´m glad Izam still sounds Izam, and Shazna is shazna. I like both songs, first was beautiful and second made me feel like jumping. Can´t wait to hear both songs!
Did these videos ever come out??? I can't seem to find the full version of these anywhere! Love Shazna and I am glad that they are back together! \(^o^)/

In Japan, Goth is just a fashion that comes with aesthetics, its not like in America and Europe, the original nests of Goth.
Japan doesn't see Goth the same as Westerners, to Japan its simply what I stated above.
Goth is not jumpy and happy. There's a reason why Goth is called Gothic and thats because its dark and sophisticated.

Goth is a subculture that started in the late 70's and is different from what many people think it is.
All it is an appreciation of Goth rock like Bauhaus, etc. Not a fashion.
But not very many bands in Japan have called themselves Goth. The only one I recall calling themselves Goth was SPEED-iD.
Vaeltier 3 years ago
Actually, wyite a few do.
Goth is a very popular word now in Japan, that can mean a little girl in a pink dress.
Ever heard of the Gothic&Lolita Bible and fashion magazine? In Japan, Goth is different from what it is in America or the UK. Thats that.
StillxDoll 2 years ago
Nope. The little girl in a pink dress is solely called "Lolita" Not Goth.
the term "Gothic" in EGL is more used when they take influences in their clothing from Victorian times. Gothic doesn't always mean 80's Goth.

IZAMは年とったからとか、子供ができたからとかの理由でCross dressingに抵抗ができたみたいだけど、
似合うんだから全然気にする必要ないし、そういう考えは正直プロ意識にかける気がする。
そんな事言ったらMANAはどうすんだよ。彼は自分の作った世界の美学を貫き通しているぞ。
まわりの雑音を気にして日和るより、美学を貫くほうがずっと格好いいし、男らしいと思う。
