Cultural barriers keep me from fully understanding it, but it seems like another mode of expression for bands besides just music. They may go for obscure looks and straight men may cross dress. There are a ton of VK bands, some play amazing music while some are talentless pretty boys going on looks alone for sales from fangirls.
plastic tree used to be very visual and have a very heavily influenced visual kei sound. of course since theyve gotten earlier they toned it down a bit, but i read in some interview before that they dont want to be catergorized as any kind of genre now.
6INC, is partially right in my opinion. They used to be Visual... but I do not believe that Satorujk isn't a very big fan just because he or she isn't completely clear about their past.
Actually, sometimes they still connect with Visual Kei. For example, one of Ryuutarou's photoshoots in late 2008 (I think it was August?) had him wearing a very Visual Kei style.
They don't want to be categorized as anything though, so I wouldn't put them as Visual Kei. (Depsite the fact that they do tend to that image.)
yeah they are visual...they just did a tour with bands like Moi dix mois and d'espairs ray call 'stylish wave illusion'...what's more visual than that name haha
This isn't visual kei either, raincube/reitarulez... Not even bloody close... Yes, Plastic Tree IS art, which is exactly why they AREN'T Visual Kei... Visual Kei is an image-driven fashion statement. It's completely shallow; makeup first, costume first, music later (If at all, considering so many VK artists could be active for 5-6 years and release only SINGLES AND MUSIC VIDEOS)... It's funny, as upset as you were at that bloke's mislabeling, awfully quick you were to do it yourself...
"omg there are so much stupid stereotypes and ignorant ppl in te world >["
Couldn't be more true... Just be careful or you might end up using one or sounding like one of them again... No offense, it's just that if you like Plastic Tree, don't insult them by pigeon-holing them in with artists (More like boybands/models) like Alice Nine and Ayabie... They deserve better than that...
they where VK but they became older and those images are nto suitable for their faces anymore but they always released goo dmusic. and plenty VK bands with great quality. its bullshit what you say, thats jsut japanese cuture to release mroe singles then albums.
I miss Plastic Tree sounding like that :(

Just to clarify, plastic tree isn't v-kei band. Just this video seems to have them in a few outfits that all :)
His singing style isn't really v-kei enough either...if you get what I mean hahaha.

older i mean. not earlier, whoops. and satorujk, you must not be a very big fan because you clearly do not know their past
