Today I will talk about the style of music I like, which is the visual kei is a Japanese style rock music that is characterized by an aesthetic in various types of makeup, extravagant costumes and elaborate hairstyles, usually with an androgynous aesthetic. This genre is inspired by the kabuki theater is a form of traditional Japanese theater that is characterized by its stylized drama and elaborate make-up use actors and characterized by the exclusion of women, where the man was to characterize the role of women called onnagata. This is my favorite style because it uses the body as a means of expression and freedom maintaining a level of detail, ornamentation and style of life very theatrical, eccentric addition to his music. Started listening to this music around 10 years and started listening to bands like Malice Mizer, a band formed in 1992 and characterized by playing gothic rock, Psycho le cemu, this band was very influenced by the cosplay, the clothes they wear is similar the anime or video game characters, also alluding to both eastern and Western legends. And Moon Formed in 1989 is still a very popular band and one of the most important in Japan.
I have not attended concerts visual kei itself, but I could go to some bands and singers j-rock as Miyavi on tour This iz The Japanese kabuki rock tour 2008 and Vamps in live 2010 world tour and live in santiago de 2015 chile.
