KiTTiE was probably the closest the west ever got to Visual Kei, both visually and musically and cliche-wise. Their music honestly sounds like it inspired a lot of the Nu Metal Vkei bands that started coming out around 2003.
Whoa, I just realised that Visual Ioner was officially shut down last month, I can't believe it. That blog's been a great source of news for me for like... Years. It feels like an end of era in a way.
