  • any other requirement? like nationality, where you live, gender, etc? another question.. are you some kind of vk band producer?

  • Dang. I wish I lived in Texas... D': but (sorry for the spam) I'm (possibly) in an up-and-coming VK band in Tennessee, and we're looking for a 2nd guitarist. Our style and sound are mostly like visual kei, but I'm open to other styles. If anyone's interested, message me :3

  • @ArashiNightmare quit my band on account of, guess what, musical differences. :/ So now I'm open to anybody around here that'll join.

    And on a second note, I know of plenty of VK bands that aren't from Japan or born Japanese or part-Japanese that pull off VK nicely. :3

  • Anyone near in fukuyama i play drumz

  • Is there anybody who lives in tha pa area........IM SOOOOO SERIOUS ITS RIDICULOUS i really want 2 start a vk band n i only want someone serious n dedicated alsoo....XD

  • Anyone in the Portland Area...? I would love to start one....

  • I've been looking to form a band, I have 3 members already. And Sadly, I'm not in Texas, but I am just one state above yours lmao. I'm in Oklahoma. Although you probably got all your members so I hope you guys have fun. :3

  • i want 2 be in your band but im from virgina =.= sadness D:

  • i'm a lyricist and singer...but darn...dunt live in Texas...>.<

  • im a kid but i would love to be in your band if u would let me i also like visual kei to

  • im a kid but i would love to be in your band if u would let me

  • I wish I could but I'm from Alabama. :'(

  • i wish i could but i live in da P.R

  • Are you still looking for band members?

  • OMFG VISUAL KEI LIKE AN CAFE AND ALICE NINE IS LIKE MY OBSESION!!!!! I GET CALLED THE WEIRD AND GAY AT SCHOOL BUT IDGAF!!!I TRY TO SPREAD THE LOVE OF THIS MUSIC!!!!I ALWAYS LISTEN TO THEM!!! AHHHH YAY GO JAPANESE GUYS ♥ ^.^

  • THANK YOU GOD!!! Where do you live i need to meet you!! send a message to greenjes94@yahoo.com PLZZZZ!

  • can you be a girl to join your band ???

  • good luck in your endevours!!!!!! :D nyappy

  • @Crf250rification visual kei is a grenera just like Ohare kei, diffrence and same, first same thing between these two is that they were fancy costumes, have crazy hair, wear make up, and crossdress. Diffrence is Oshare kei is like j-pop and stuff their songs are happy, not like gay happy they have good feling in them they are all positives feelings so their costumes color is bright, visual kei is dark so their clothes have dark colors, they play metal, punk, death metal their songs are sad

  • wwhat the fuck! This must be a joke....can you imagine..."And now a visual kei band straight from TEXAS! Hey yall we are gunna play some music for all yall visual kei fans gulp!.

    Yea think about it...if your not born Japanese ( or maybe Korean) then DONT START A VISUAL KEI BAND! Save lots of people form scratching them selves the eyes out and stuffing their ears.

    If you want to play music then create a band And just be influenced by VK bands music. Anything else should be left to the japanese

  • @Kaarel456

    LOL yeah, visual kei from texas? I mean sure if they plan to go outside texas soon. :3

  • @Kaarel456 anyone can be visual kei

    stop being a hater

    why are people here so mean?

    you don't have to be japanese to do this

  • @coveruplies You think im being a hater but im not. You see asian men are usually more femine than men from any other race. Thats why they look good crossdressing or in any VK style. And a person not asian trying to copy the visual kei style will just end up either like a ugly tranny, scene kid or if really lucky something like the Cinema Bizzare guys. CB guys are close but still not it.

    Trust me VK only looks good if its done by asians. The music is another long story.

  • @Kaarel456 they are...... but even if they are ugly (lol sorry chilnkcavil xDD) if the music is good then meh, Sure in visual kei Looks are extremely important but not all visual kei bands are that good looking (>.>) look at yuuki from an cafe (sorry yuuki) he's still cool :D

  • @coveruplies Thats what im trying to tell you. You can be influenced by the music but copying the looks might end up really bad and it might scare off the potential audience and with no audience there is no success for the band.

  • @Kaarel456 yeah ^^ there are plenty of not good looking bands out there who are famous :D it doesn't matter

  • i dont wanna be in the band but im just curious as to what VK is?? :) i dont know. that probably makes me lame

  • @Crf250rification

    D: do some research. d:

    its just like metal only in japanese. but don't go comparing them to just any genres. Vk is way better. <3

  • I think it's totally gay you guys wanna form a vk band, my opinion... You guys will prolly just look like trannys! I think jap or Asian people can pull off the whole cross dressing thing without looking stupid or creepy!

  • @freddy911304  I totaly agree!

  • Looking for members for a VKei band in the New Jersey area .. Im 18 and play guitar if interested contact my profile :)

  • I just came from texas. I can sing, play guitar, and piano. I know a lot about VK and I love Miyavi. he's my idol. :) I'll learn anything else I need to. I guess I'm cute and fun so thats good. I'm great on the computer so I can clean up the sounds and screw with the music levels. So I visit texas alot, even If I can't join I'd still like to help out.

    -Haru

  • ha, well how inconvenient. I just moved from texas a few months ago. but i go back frequently. I can sing, I play guitar and piano and I'm willing to learn to play anything else. :) now am I a cute girl? well thats up to you. haha. but it does suck that i just left. I'm pretty good at cmputer stuff though so If you want me to help out with making the sound better or checking levels, then message me. Maybe we can work something out :) Believe me, I'm good at what I do.

    -Haru

  • Unfortunately I live in Poland...

  • damn it i wish i lived in Texas...but NO i live in israel,a little bit far ^^' i can sing VK style really cutely...and i"m petite and sweet...sutibale to be in a band as vocalist maybe? O.O

  • freakshow?

    for expression there are freaks?

    I dont get people like you.

    The title states Visual KEI

    so do you just come here and waste everyones time by being ignorant and arrogant?

    exactly how narcissistic do you find yourself to assume that because you play piano; or your nto visual Kei; that such things are below you...

    I hope you get dissembowled by an owl :3

    -Karasu Hitukui

    btw dont bother replying; because this is my sisters...and she'll eat you alive ;D

  • I hope i get disemboweled by an owl to....Best death ever.

    (P.s. i just have a strong belief that music is about music.)

  • If you thik they are freaks why do you wach this?!O_o

    People like it and i like it too....if you dont have anything nice to say then keep your opinion for youself....

    LM.C

    Naitomea

    and some Jpop

    Song used is Bell the Cat by LM.C right?

  • Yes..

  • It is =]

  • AN CAFFEEEEE!!!! :D:D

  • aww too bad you're all the way in texas :O

  • could you explain exactly what a VK band is i've never herd of that? i play the guitar too.

  • It pretty much like any other rock/punk/metal band only a VK (visual kei)is more visual when it comes to looks and performing live =)

  • oh woops, forgot to ask. whos the band playing on the slideshow?

  • It's "bell the cat" by the LM.C =)

  • lol id love to... shame i live in england... i think that if you want to make this band come true its gonna have to be an internet one...

  • it would seem like that at first but I have actually been getting a lot of people in my area together XD...A internet band sounds pretty good tho o-o

  • Same here ^^

  • Some friends and I are hoping to start a band once we graduate. I'd totally love to join yours and all, but I'm not 17 yet, and I live all the way up in PA. Good luck though.

  • good luck to you too! If you get a band together let me know ^-^ i would love to hear it =)

  • Thanks. We're going to be such an odd band. We wanna get something together for our school's talent show. We have a vocalist playing bass yet she hasn't really done either of them much, a drummer who has yet to play set, and me, the guitarist and only member who knows what they're doing XD (I plan to at least teach them a little, I can do everything they're doing. )

  • lol id join up with you but thers one problem.... i live in australia xD sorry but ive been trying to do the same thing

  • good luck though

  • Good luck to you too! =)

  • lolz i read ur post in yahoo xD

  • A lot of musicians these days manage to perform as band over great distances on the net by first doing a cover of several songs separately and later mixed together. A good practice to see how good they can collaborate as a team so to start recruiting each other. There are a couple of Japanese on you tube doing that, perhaps you should consider doing the same and recruit one of them?

  • hmmm...I had not even thought of that..Thank you very much! Would you happen to have a link to any of people are doing that? =)

  • lol! XD It so hard to get a VK band going!(been working my ass off and still don't have a full band LOL) I don't care about looks atm XD Looks are easy to change.I'm looking for talent lol XD I'll send you message! ^-^

  • Aww, too bad I live in NY >.>

  • Aw man~!! I live in KY. X_X

  • i dress like visual kei ^ ^ i love japan and any japanese music and i love rock : ) ive played guitar for over a year now ! : D but heres the problem i live in france - -' hehe  damn.

  • very good to hear! I'll send you a message =)

  • hi! i live in the houston area. im into vocals. i dont consider myself an AWESOME singer, but i think i'd be able to sing VK style. i like the whole fashion thing, and i think the sound of this genre is great! i just dont know if me being a 15 1/2 guy would be okay with u. pm me if u'd still like a singer.

  • *edit, "15 1/2 year old guy.

  • good luck pplz. even though non-japanese kei bands always are raped with critism )=

  • wish you the best of luck ^^

  • good luck with the band i really hope it works out me and my friends are gonna do a band just for fun really cus we love japan i need to get more than just me and my two best girlfriends into oshare and visual kei cause they are all musical and luckily one of my close guyfriends is musical and wouldnt mind dressing in oshare kei lol u just gave me an idea thanks haha

  • I'm 18 years old, I live in east texas and I love all forms of jrock especially visual/oshare kei. I can play the guitar, scream, and sing. I don't know if I can sing vk style though... pm me if you wanna get together.

  • ARGH. When I found this I thought, "dream come true!!" but.. you live.. in Texas. ARGH. My keyboardist and I [[vocals]] live in California. D: Major suck.

  • do u live in houston cuz thats where i used to live

  • aw man!!!! i just moved from the houston area too lol XD waht crappy timing LMAO

  • i know right? lol i really like music and want to do something exciting

  • aww man i just move from TX to missouri lol, guess i missed it. if i was still in texas i probably help ya w/ guitar or drum. i used to be in a band but it wasnt visual/ oshare kei but still. grr i shouldnt have moved! lol

  • i wish i had musical talents and lived in texas :( Good luck to you though, you seem to be getting aa lot of offers.  I hope it works out. It would be awsome to have an american VK band. ^^

  • You would be surprised how many people say they want to try out but never show up =( lol Thank you for the good luck tho ^-^ hopefully it will work out XD~ I wonder how many people would talk bad about a American VK band lmao XD;;

  • well i cant play inserment i don no the band and im younger then 17 but i can sing and i live in texas so yeah lol

  • How old are you? I wouldn't mind still seeing what you have to offer =D I just say no one under 17 cause it can be hard to get together to practice and some people won't take it too seriously =(

  • so u like Alice Nine? i think their fashion is good but i have made songs way better than their band. the problem is that i live in MA and i would love to meet up with you cause i am looking for a spot in a band as drummer or keyboardist. I have played piano for 12 years and guitar for a few months..that's my musical background i guess n i won 5 gold pins from the NPG..(national piano guild) -_-
