Yeah. And there doesn't seem to be any influence on any Vkei bands that they've had to call them Vkei, especially since Deathrock is rare in Vkei anyway.

FWIW, the death rock Sex Android were pretty solid actually, from what I remember hearing from them on YT. Nothing exceptionally mind-blowing, but pretty solid. I was also surprised to find out that 'our' Sex-Android's first releases were in like the mid-to-late '90s (also afair they sounded a little more straightforwardly punk on those than on their later, more 'known' art pop material where things got mixed w/ other influences) and they had some power gap between that period and their art pop era

Yeah, Sex Android started out quite Punk. When their last guitarist, Toru, joined, they kind of took a more creative route, including some folk influence, surf rock influence, etc. They even have a full on Enka song (I think everyone remembers Kowenji, Na No Ne... though xD).

Upon further research (AKA I found someone in the know xD), the Death Rock Sex Android was apparently meant to just be a small project, which is sad because it sounded quite good. They probably would have gotten more popular if they continued on into the 90's, because the 90's saw a rise in Gothic genres for Japanese Rock. If they had continued Sex Android into that era, they would've gained a bigger fanbase, possibly among the Vkei scene because well, they do look Visual xD. It's like the project ended at such an inconvenient time.

But at least there is Phadia xD
