Basically, early VK bands were doing it for the art, just as bands like B-T who were very outlandish and visual for their time were. As the genre became popular with teenage girls, however, record labels started to use watered down VK as a gimmick. I'm sure there are still good vk bands out there, but now you have to find them amongst all the shit.
B-T are my favorite, but Malice Mizer was a great band. Perhaps MM isn't YOUR cup of tea, but that does not detract from the quality of their music, nor does your denouncing of a completely unrelated band help to promote or honor Buck-Tick.
Japan had great bands in the eighties,like x-japan,buck-tick and boowy,when the 90's came,the japanese bands that arose to fame at that time cared more about their make-up than about their sonority...
Malice Mizer was shit,this was way fucking better,one of the few "serious" japanese bands,the rest was just a make-up parade or something like that...

BUCK-TICK inspired MM, as well as so many other bands.
Also this song was made before MM, 4 years before they create their band, so...

the singer gives me the impression of a japanese David bowey with that hair style.
