Question for people who like jrock and Visual Kei?
I'm Japanese and I'm returning to live in Japan soon where I'll move into a flat with my old friend who plays bass and I am a guitarist and we are gonna make a jrock, visual kei band.
I was wondering what styles of vk are your favourites (like which bands and stuff) and do you have any ideas for something new we can try? We dont have a signature look or sound in mind yet.
thats cool, i really like those bands
first off, You Are so cool for this XD lol
secondly...
Do something Oshare kei or Angura kei. I think those styles are the best.
also you should wear something really unique and make it your signature item ( like Reita's nose strap, for example)
