Takeru has since starred in Paracelsus’ Homunculusand held a supporting role in The Camellia Girl. It follows their ups and downs and conquers some of the real issues within the VKei scene.
Visual movies from 2017 movie#
The movie is centered on LOVE DIVING, a session band, attempting to gain a major label contract. If you’re looking for some easy watching and a more gentle introduction to the VKei scene, I highly recommend this movie. He made his acting debut in Aquarian Age, but among the VKei fans, he’s best known for his role in BeatRockLove as the lead singer Shin. Overall, Takeru has always been the most favored member and a well-known vocalist within the genre. Takeru is part of a well established and long running V-Kei band called SuG who have gone through more than a few ups and downs. (aka the guy sticking out his tongue in this poster) Despite being an ‘okay’ adaptation of the film, it was pretty well received by her fans and the drama community. Her stage presence as Kaoru is no joke, though, given her actual experience. Akira has had some practice in ‘acting’ as a prince character in Lolita fan meetings she’s attended over the years. Her role in the film was mildly difficult since it’s acting versus her usual fan service. She made her acting debut in the live-action adaptation of Be Crazy About Me as Kaoru, surprise, the lead singer of fictional group Blue Rozen (Blue Roses). Akira is thriving with her solo career and modeling. Disacode has since shifted around a few members so it’s no longer all female, and currently on unofficial hiatus. Below I’ll be listing off the actors/dramas/movies that are majorly linked to the genre.Īkira from Disacode as Kaoru in Be Crazy About MeĪkira and the group Disacode are a bit of a rarity in VKei, since the band originally consisted exclusively of women in a male-dominated genre. So how does this relate to dramas/movies? Well, as you can guess the visual aspect slowly carried over into a few dramas and movies, with some VKei stars becoming fairly well-rounded actors. Nowadays a lot of VKei bands still have ‘a look’, but it’s less glam and more alternative street style. It’s really similar to Western glam rock in appearances originally. It’s more or less defined by the use of varying levels of make-up, elaborate hair styles, rock/punk/alternative musical influence and flamboyant costumes, and often but not always androgyny. However, Yoshiki of the band X Japan coined the term 'Visual Kei', originally as 'Psychedelic Violence - Crime of Visual Shock'. There are a lot of definitions and a lot of sub-genres within it. Now I’m back, tackling a different genre altogether! This time around I’ll be talking about the niche musical genre of Visual Kei in dramaland. You might remember me from my article The Art of the Idol Drama.
