I agree with Yohio and the gazette :D People shouldn't dislike Yohio just because he's not Japanese. He brought me into the world of visual kei and he is just amazing.
If people want to hate anyone that is committing cultural appropriation through music, then it's a guy called MdotR, not Yohio, not related to visual kei but if you check the guy out, you will know what I mean
I remember seeing Yohio on tv when I was younger when he was competing in Melodifestivalen and I really liked his song didn't like how all the swedish people made fun of him
Love your selection, all my favorites. Going to LA from New Mexico to see Kon from Cell at VKFest and Little Toyko Harajuku Fashion Walk. One day then back home.
Yay royz is #1, love them. especially there new look. And this was a first were I new all the bands/songs :) to bad nocturnal bloodlust wasnt on here thought. Haven't seen a video with them on it yet.
This is perfect seriously Diaura and my all-time favorite band,ROYZ IS NUMBER ONEEE~this is my first time watching My Top Jrock bands video with Royz number one
Yeah and a lot of them are pretty and handsome even without makeup teheh like koki of vivid :3 and i like younger bands and young band members so ye koki is 24
I kinda liked rock before but I really prefer VK and got more into because of them, I also got interested because of the visual but I still love it for the music
xBlackBaccaratx Yes, my list is always changing and growing. Recently have gotten into Yōsei Teikoku and even Babymetal is a lot more interesting than I first thought. I am an artist that works in kiln formed glass and my recent work is based on Visual Kei and traditional Japanese images from Kabuki and Geisha fashion.
+Sophia Royz ソフィア (SophiaBVBiersack) oh hehehe i didn't realize^^" but seriously tho this video made me start listening to Royz. Do you still like them?
+Sophia Royz ソフィア (SophiaBVBiersack) haha okay^^ i wanna know japanese so that i can read what my fav bands posts but i don't wanna seem like a weeabo since i like anime too xD
I know it's your opinion and I respect! Even if for me, would put: Royz (Third), Diaura (Second) and MEJIBRAY (First). Anyway, your "Top 8" is very cool ..
All of the band are nice, but I like diaura, the gazette, royz, comodo dragon and I wish they add kiryu and arlequin on the list. I am worth dying for this visual kie bands.
A few people have mentioned X Japan but they band are massively overrated. I give them credit for creating the whole visual kei image but musically they were just a power metal band with a few ballads. There's thousands of power metal bands in Europe such as Helloween. I prefer the later visual kei bands like The Gazette and Dir En Grey who had the image but mixed their metal with alternative and gothic rock.
I always asked how all they have the same hand gestures or body poses. Like an aesthetic of visual Kei. Did it have a name? Like furitsake is for movements only for lives. How did it start cos Gackt? Malice mizer? Does someone know?
Can I ask you something? WTF is The GazettE is doing on the last place?! They should be #1! Kidding! You have your own oppinions, but seriously, you missed out great VK bands like Versailles! And dude! The GazettE has a lot of heart-touching songs, and Ruki's voice is so... Calm.
LayLyann Tarabay Irizarry I've never been a huge fan of the GazettE, I hardly ever listen to them anymore to be honest. They just aren't my style, Versailles isn't either :P I prefer the darker stuff like Mejibray, Dadaroma, and ペンタゴン :)
It's okay :D I really enjoy MEJIBRAY, and if you like darker stuff, try Dir en Grey, they're japanese and awesome. I love their song, Obscure. Though, they left the Visual Kei style, but that's okay, and Kyo used to cut himself in the lives but stopped.
Dir en Grey? I guess we all different opinions... What about bands like X Japan? I like Orgasm (I know, that name though...) and Kurenai, and I also like Due'le Quartz, I love Jisatsu Ganbou and Rodeo...
LayLyann Tarabay Irizarry Honestly when I saw The Gazette on last place... I was just thinking "Diru and X-Japan are the only bands that can beat them". But we all have different tastes, I'm a huge fan of Mejibray
It's so strange to see Yohio on a list like this o_O I know, he is considered to ne a visual kei singer, but still... :D And also... I never thought I'll find him on a list with a higher rank then the GazettE (i'm not a hardcore Gaze fan anymore, but still... Both Ruki's voice and their music is a "bit" better than what that swedish cutie does :D I like his music too, but...) But I do not want to argue nor bother you since it's your list. Everybody has different opinions and all.... :)
DEG used to be an entire outfit of visual kei in their earlier years but at some point started wearing normal jeans and clothings, kyo is really the only one i would consider to be a vk artist as he still dresses up but in a different way. That being said they are in a class of their own mostly. I love all of DEGs work
By The Way YOHIO isn't Dressing simmilar to visual kei Bands he is a visual kei Artist ;) And he is awesome Good video By The Way I love J-Rock and visual kei is just awesome ;)
Hahaha to make it worse such comments are everywhere. Literally the next VK list I watched had them at 7 and it was the same story all over again. I hope they realize that what they're doing is counterproductive at best... :/
Why is the Gazette on the 8th place. And to Giselle Lemmens...I don't get a word of the Japanase but you can look it up on google and if you look at the PV you can make out what the song is about
The visual kei bands listed sounds like pop with guitar,drums,and bass in the background in my opinion. Probably the only band that doesn't have that pop sound are malice mizer and heidi
The song titles are on the video ^^ Also I don't listen to most of these bands anymore, but I would recommend checking out Royz and Mejibray (1 and 2 on the video) and Dadaroma, ペンタゴン and Lezard are super good too!
Super surprised that Malice Micer wasn't on your list, tiz Gackt's old band after all he totally oozes Visual Kei XD lol I totally forgot the "my" in my comment lol Comment was supposed to read "Those are my top three" -__-
I guess I'm showing my age here, but I was for sure certain I'd see X Japan, Dir en Grey, or Malice Mizer on this list, but admittedly, they're all older bands but most are still around.
Until my distress sleeps fill me up with your grief... nice video... Great bands im gonna go jam now I love all these bands ...is it bad to live in america and only like foreign bands ...^U^ XD...just kidding thanks for the video
1- X JAPAN (FOREVER AND EVER)
2-Dir en Grey
3-Mucc
4-The Gazette
5-An Café
6-Moi dix Mois
7-Malice Mizer
8-Plastic Tree
9-Kagerou
10-The Piass
Esta bien... Metería a Unsraw, y Buck Tick
I would never again dare to look into the comment section of a top 10 list....
same .-.
This is just like..... if diabolic lovers was a band. Guess which one I'm talking about, it's quite obvious
MA’AM! IM CRYING JRNFKFKFJ are you referring to the games?
LoVe😚😚😚😚☺
@@user-il2uf8iz3h love😉😊😍😘
A tip: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Briar Kashton yup, have been using flixzone for since november myself :D
I agree with Yohio and the gazette :D
People shouldn't dislike Yohio just because he's not Japanese. He brought me into the world of visual kei and he is just amazing.
same. Yohio was the first visualkei artist I listened too. And then I started to search fir bands found this video and Royz is now my life.
If people want to hate anyone that is committing cultural appropriation through music, then it's a guy called MdotR, not Yohio, not related to visual kei but if you check the guy out, you will know what I mean
Yohio is simply a great musician
I remember seeing Yohio on tv when I was younger when he was competing in Melodifestivalen and I really liked his song didn't like how all the swedish people made fun of him
The Gazette is last. Really? They are my favourite visual kei group!
Le dije lo mismo
Same
I guess it's to represent they're number 1 in the list :D Yaknow, save the best one for last!
so proud to see YOHIO on this list QuQ together with other amazing bands
Diaura are the best!!!!!
Apparently this was my top genre on Spotify so I'm here to find even more bands
Which band/artist specifically was the one that u listened to the most that was visual kei
DIV songs are all soo good and addicting !!!!
My list as of now is:
Paradeis
Dir En Grey
Malice Mizer
(Not a band, but) Kaya
X Japan
the GazettE
Versailles
Shazna
Love your selection, all my favorites. Going to LA from New Mexico to see Kon from Cell at VKFest and Little Toyko Harajuku Fashion Walk. One day then back home.
My favorite band is The GazettE and my favorite song Distress and Coma. So i started watching this and........ Yeaahhhh!! :)

Babymetal aren’t Visual Kei as far as I know, still a great band though
Is it fine if I get into this not because I love rock but so I can stare at the pretty boys? lol
Seriously the visual kei aesthetic is mesmerizing.
I did that too lol. Now I love rock music becuase of them...
I used to hate it though.
Yeah and a lot of them are pretty and handsome even without makeup teheh like koki of vivid :3 and i like younger bands and young band members so ye koki is 24
violetgirl1996
right but the makeup is the thing tat makes it interesting
***** The point is it to be mesmerizing then if you like them for that too then is fine xD
I kinda liked rock before but I really prefer VK and got more into because of them, I also got interested because of the visual but I still love it for the music
Yea, love them all. I'd add Kiryu but that would be nine.
All around great band I'd put GazettE #1.
I like Kiryu too :) But they're not in my top 8, which has changed a lot since I made this video XD
xBlackBaccaratx
Yes, my list is always changing and growing. Recently have gotten into Yōsei Teikoku and even Babymetal is a lot more interesting than I first thought. I am an artist that works in kiln formed glass and my recent work is based on Visual Kei and traditional Japanese images from Kabuki and Geisha fashion.
I love royz n mejibray；）
Okay ngl when I searched "visual kei bands" Yohio came to mind so I'm glad I'm not alone there 😂 he performed with Gackt, he's in the club
DIV and Royz were my childhood ❤
They spark so much joy 🥹
Along with some I didn't see in this list.
Nice list tho !
Royz!
My favourite visual kei band!
xBlackBaccaratx is awesome!
WTF IS THE GAZETTE DOING IN LAST PLACE BRUH???
i find it funny no one talks about Phantasmagoria - the most underrated Japan Visual Kei band
Joel Lim Phantasmagoria and Kra are for me the most underrated Visual Kei even if they are so good ;-;
when guys do makeup better than you xD
I would add Ashmaze and Leetspeak Monsters in this list
Why do all their faces look so perfect?!?!?
I was so here years ago,.,. xD! :,D
4:20 I'm confused...is like their saying " I'm gonna rip your heart out, and make a really yummy soup :3"
😂
As melhores bandas de visual kei cada um com seu estilo
My grandma: what kind of music do you listen to
My mind: this
Me: oh um...I don’t really listen to music😁🤞🏻
DIAURA IS THE BEST!!!!!
what i see: red-haired sasuke, blue haired sasuke, blond sasuke, and normal sasuke
Fendi Roon hahahaha this made me laugh so hard 👻👻👻
And here I was thinking, cloud strife.
Saskue does not aprove :I
Then is there anyone that you see here that ISN'T Sasuke?
This is hilarious 😂
YOU HAVE THE BEST TASTE! ROYZ ALL THE WAYYYYYY!!!
YES
Nancy Li wow I posted that over a year ago
+Sophia Royz ソフィア (SophiaBVBiersack) oh hehehe i didn't realize^^" but seriously tho this video made me start listening to Royz. Do you still like them?
Nancy Li yeah I still like them but I don't follow them as much as I did before haha
+Sophia Royz ソフィア (SophiaBVBiersack) haha okay^^ i wanna know japanese so that i can read what my fav bands posts but i don't wanna seem like a weeabo since i like anime too xD

6. DIV
7. REIGN

Michael, I agree with you. I just started to like the GazettE again so yeah, N.1
Wow! These bands look stunning. Expect nothing less from Japan. Although the music at times is a lil bit too Screamo/Emo at times.
I know it's your opinion and I respect! Even if for me, would put: Royz (Third), Diaura (Second) and MEJIBRAY (First). Anyway, your "Top 8" is very cool ..
Daii Uchiha aha I made this video quite awhile ago so my favorite bands have changed quite a bit :P mejibray is definitely my #1 now though :)
Si comento un poco tarde! Y que buena MEJIBRAY sea su # 1! saludos jaja ..
All of the band are nice, but I like diaura, the gazette, royz, comodo dragon and I wish they add kiryu and arlequin on the list. I am worth dying for this visual kie bands.
Yohio and the gazette!! :)
Oh my god Royz
A few people have mentioned X Japan but they band are massively overrated.

I prefer the later visual kei bands like The Gazette and Dir En Grey who had the image but mixed their metal with alternative and gothic rock.
Hmm...I respect your choices, but seriously...why is The GazettE in last place?! T_T
I always asked how all they have the same hand gestures or body poses. Like an aesthetic of visual Kei. Did it have a name? Like furitsake is for movements only for lives. How did it start cos Gackt? Malice mizer? Does someone know?
My japanese bros are putting in work.... Respect from america. I dont know what they are saying but i dig it 😉
wow, another side of japanese culture,.....#1 is DIAURA
Why all of their voices tones sound the same?
The bassist of Egoist band remind me to Hizaki.
And why you don't including Versailles. This my favorite visual kei band dude
Great TOP ! I love it ! thank you ! ;)
Can I ask you something? WTF is The GazettE is doing on the last place?! They should be #1! Kidding! You have your own oppinions, but seriously, you missed out great VK bands like Versailles! And dude! The GazettE has a lot of heart-touching songs, and Ruki's voice is so... Calm.

I know every band and song amazing love it!!
GazeRock is not DEAD!!
It's so strange to see Yohio on a list like this o_O I know, he is considered to ne a visual kei singer, but still... :D And also...

DIAURAAAAA
DIV MEJIBRAY DIAURA are my favs 😘
I heard that Dir en gray was no longer a visual kei band but I'm confused about what that is. So could someone explain to me what that is.
Visual kei is the visual style of these bands. It's about their sometimes really extreme make up, hair style and costumes :)
DEG used to be an entire outfit of visual kei in their earlier years but at some point started wearing normal jeans and clothings, kyo is really the only one i would consider to be a vk artist as he still dresses up but in a different way. That being said they are in a class of their own mostly. I love all of DEGs work
if i am going to add your list, i will include Sadie and Screw
YAS YOHIO and Diaura !!
By The Way YOHIO isn't Dressing simmilar to visual kei Bands he is a visual kei Artist ;)
And he is awesome
Good video By The Way I love J-Rock and visual kei is just awesome ;)
Awww no one ever adds Girugamesh to these lol but I do like a few of them >w< I love Diaura
I love girugamesh.
YOHIO FTW!!!
ow bad, i hold the blue haired guitarrist of royz to san from Nega xD
I think its Kuina, right? :o
Yes its Kuinaa❤
Why is the Gazette fandom so... rabid?
TheMoonPrincess2 I know right, god forbid that I put them in last place 😂
Hahaha to make it worse such comments are everywhere. Literally the next VK list I watched had them at 7 and it was the same story all over again. I hope they realize that what they're doing is counterproductive at best... :/
1 2 - - 5 6 7 8 SEVEN AND FIVE IS MY FAVORITE, BOTH I YOHIO ARE SWEDISH💖😉✨
the Gazette no1
Why is the Gazette on the 8th place. And to Giselle Lemmens...I don't get a word of the Japanase but you can look it up on google and if you look at the PV you can make out what the song is about
The visual kei bands listed sounds like pop with guitar,drums,and bass in the background in my opinion. Probably the only band that doesn't have that pop sound are malice mizer and heidi
Wtf?
Royz is so #1 love them
OMG exactlly my favorits band

NEGA
The Kuroshitsuji manga reader starter pack.

my fav are the gazette and royz!! ^^
reitaa
0: Sid
what songs are they, and whic hwould you recommend
The song titles are on the video ^^
Also I don't listen to most of these bands anymore, but I would recommend checking out Royz and Mejibray (1 and 2 on the video) and Dadaroma, ペンタゴン and Lezard are super good too!
Where is Malice Mizer, Moi dix mois, dir en grey??
I said the same thing! I think we are showing our older age by like band like them, lol.
Yes!!!! they´re the best bands ever! the outfits OMG, THE visual kei is there
such feminine looking boys
there is "oshare kei" in your "visual kei" bands.
My favorit is Kagerou and Girugamesh :3
1. Malice Mizer!!!! Come on Gackt should totally be here!!!
2. The Gazette
3. Dir en grey.
Those are top three...
Allysha Estabrooks oh well. Don't particularly like any of them so that's why they didn't make my list
Super surprised that Malice Micer wasn't on your list, tiz Gackt's old band after all he totally oozes Visual Kei XD lol
I totally forgot the "my" in my comment lol Comment was supposed to read "Those are my top three" -__-
How do I get here? So not my style of music :/ Don't understand a word xD
The style of dressing is cool ^^
I guess I'm showing my age here, but I was for sure certain I'd see X Japan, Dir en Grey, or Malice Mizer on this list, but admittedly, they're all older bands but most are still around.
Some of them is just Japanese power metal
And I love it
i only know dir en grey and that’s it, is this the genre dir en grey is in?
The Amazing Tatsuo
Dir en grey used to be a visual kei band and they dropped out of it for popularity and came back for to be visual kei again
If I remember, wasn't X Japan the band thay initiated Visual Kei movement?
Am I the only one who sees them as hot cosplayers who can sing....
You like MoNoLith too? I love this band!!
I'm new to vk . is vk a genre or more of an appearance thing
I love Royz~ They are my number #1 XD
any of them could be a good anime opening
Until my distress sleeps fill me up with your grief... nice video... Great bands im gonna go jam now I love all these bands ...is it bad to live in america and only like foreign bands ...^U^ XD...just kidding thanks for the video
