There’s a fun bit of trivia going around—MUKU from ZENBU KIMI NO SEI DA once described herself as a “fashion disaster” 👀

🎧 One listen and you’re hooked.
Melty Love by SHAZNA is pure upbeat nostalgia — the kind of track that stays in your head long after it ends. Released in 1996, it still hits the same every time.
Catchy, vibrant, and impossible not to replay… this is visual kei at its most addictive.

💭 Are you still playing this on repeat too?

🎤🔥 When two powerhouse vocalists collide… magic happens.
Dancho (Nogod) × Lime (Kizu) delivering “Kizuato” is everything we love about visual kei — and more.
This performance isn’t just heard… it’s felt. 🖤
Love dramatic, emotionally charged vocals? This one will stay with you!

🚨 Artist Alert!
We recently added Ruiza Band to our playlist and got hooked on “New World.”
Big power metal energy, melodic gothic-kei vocals, and a strong visual kei feel.
What do you think of Ruiza and this track?
🎧✨ Here's seElectronic visual kei...
Schwarz Stein – “Lilith”, the darkwave electronic duo formed by Kaya and Hora.
Blending lends gothic atmosphere + elements, creating something haunting, hypnotic, and unmistakably visual kei.
If you enjoy darker electronic sounds in J-rock and VKei, this is one to add to your playlist. 🦇🎶

🌧️ “ENDLESS RAIN, FALL ON MY HEART… kokoro no kizu ni
LET ME FORGET ALL OF THE HATE, ALL OF THE SADNESS”
— Endless Rain by X Japan 🎹
When people hear rock band, they often imagine speed and intensity ⚡
But X Japan proved rock can also carry deep vulnerability.
With Yoshiki’s haunting piano and powerful vocals, Endless Rain remains one of the most unforgettable ballads in J-rock.
Sometimes the strongest songs are the quietest ones. 🌧️🎶
🎧 Now playing:「I for You」 — LUNA SEA
This song shuffled into our playlist today and instantly took us back.
For many, LUNA SEA helped shape the sound of visual kei and Japanese rock in the 90s. Hearing this track today also feels like a quiet tribute to Shinya, whose powerful drumming helped define the band’s sound.
His rhythm lives on in every beat of these songs.
▶️ Listen here: https://youtu.be/MehNUIRekX4?si=TqIdW2BjEspdlVye
💬 What was the first LUNA SEA song you heard?
🎧 Now playing: 『Jichou』 by Fukusyuya -Darma-
(復讐屋-だるま-)
We recently discovered this band and were instantly drawn in by the musical composition and vocals. 🎸 They have an older visual kei sound that feels nostalgic. 🖤
