Collection: Visual Kei

Visual Kei is a flamboyant and diverse Japanese music genre that emerged in the 1980s, characterized by its theatrical aesthetics and eclectic sound. This genre blends elements of rock, metal, and pop, often incorporating dramatic costumes, elaborate makeup, and androgynous styles. Visual Kei encompasses a wide range of musical styles, from the energetic Anime Rock and cute-meets-heavy Kawaii Metal to the more aggressive Japanese Post-Hardcore and Japanese Heavy Metal. The genre also includes softer, pop-influenced subgenres like J-Pixie and Oshare Kei, as well as the powerful and melodic Japanese Power Metal. Visual Kei artists frequently cross over into voice acting, as seen in the Dansei Seiyu (male voice actor) subgenre, further showcasing the versatility and multimedia appeal of this unique Japanese cultural phenomenon.
