blank_stare 2,217 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Will it? And if it will, will people start doing visual kei again? Or a modern look of vk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethereal 20,923 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 there are still visual kei bands... it's just more of a niche now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer1 460 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Visual Kei has always been a niche and was popular with international fans but not so with Japan. THere are very few successful visual kei bands (well some of those visual kei bands no longer are visual kei). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintat 4,072 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I used to love Malice Mizer but they've been gone forever and I haven't checked any visual kei since then. Not sure what's going on with the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavillmel 46 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I only know Golden Bomber and they have catchy songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0tat0 92 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Some of the old bands have a lot of fans that still support them but I don't think there's a chance for the new bands to get popular because it's not a thing anymore. Sad but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamSoldier 294 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Malice Mizer, Klaha era was the best thing this world had... why did it leave us?! Damn it Mana, leave Klaha out the closet please. (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Biscuit 503 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 As a disclaimer, I'm not familiar with Visual Kei That said, I believe answers to "Will this ever picks up popularity?" will always be. "Depends on the act, the promotion as well as the music + personalities involved." The bigger the demography that clicks with them, the bigger they get.

Stargazer1 460 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I always wondered why this was... I think it has to do with their extravagant appearance that many of these groups portray. And the fact female fans like these groups mostly due to "male wearing make up and looking prettier than a lot women." <<< I have heard of these comments.

b1moon 205 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The genre crumbled on itself. Fans already moved on to Kpop or other things, a few stayed loyal to VK/their favourite band and lots of them are still lost in the limbo. If it'll ever pick up again, surely not in the next few years and not as we know it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
