↑ "visual kei is a branch of Japanese rock (affectionately referred to by fans as J-Rock). … it aims to experiment with various established genres such as rock, punk, metal, goth and glam in an attempt to create a wholly new sound. « For those about to J-Rock by Subha Arulvarathan, the Carillon, March 15, 2006, Issue 20 Volume 48, official student newspaper of the University of Regina.
↑ „Josephine Yun, author of the book Jrock, Ink., explains that visual kei originated in the late 1970s and early 1980s as Japan’s rock scene began cultivating its own identity. 'It was rock 'n roll, punk rock, glam and metal with a twist — a twist just as angry and rebellious as what came before it — but a poetic one, artistic, with painstaking attention to detail,' Yun explains.“ Kabuki Rock, by Bryan Reesman, Grammy.com, The Latin Recording Academy, November 30, 2006
↑ a fleeting genre known to fans as „Visual Kei“ (aka „Visual Rock“). Nonetheless, this fusion of metal, punk and gothic aesthetics ignited at least two generations of followers with its shocking visual appeal» X [Japan]: Reliving the Height of Japan’s Superlative Visual Rock Band, By Minnie Chi, Asia Pacific Arts, bi-weekly web magazine, UCLA Asia Institute
↑ «That’s why Hide and others in the new rock movement are so important: they’re original and they’re selling millions of units. As the guitarist of X-Japan, Hide (real name Matsumoto Hideto) was a pioneering member of a new J-Pop sub-genre called „visual rock.“ Born of a combination of hard rock and metal, visual rock leans toward a more theatrical presentation emphasizing imagery as much as music. One only needs to watch an X-Japan video to recognize its decadent glam influences, as drummer Yoshiki is often decked out in lace stockings and torn black leather vests. However, the band’s androgynous looks can be attributed as much to kayou kyoku (traditional Japanese pop) as to the eccentric costumes of '70s David Bowie and '80s hair bands. It is precisely this hodgepodge of international styles that makes visual rock such a noteworthy new genre. Couple that with the high-dollar, idol-influenced publicity that goes behind these bands, and you’ve got a new brand of rock that makes KISS look like shoegazers.» Gibson, Dave Get ready America; Japan’s J-Pop phenomenon has all eyes facing east.
