Still can't get over the fact Hakuei claimed that only Japanese people can be Vkei because according to him, you have to have a very specific set of facial features.
Guess any Japanese person who doesn't look like Hakuei can't be Vkei. Sorry guys, must be Ainu or Ryukyuan or something lmao. Like, I'm no anthropologist, but according to Hakuei, having a sharp jaw is a Japanese trait.

I mean considering the amount of plastic surgery in scene I guess the VKei look is not japanese as well is plastified japanese, which would still require you to be originally japanese so you unjapanese yourself

Again with this argument... the genre has born in Japan, but this doesn't exclude that other countries can try to do it. Missing the times when Cinema Bizarre and old DNR were around... at least they confirmed how is easy to bring out a vk band without being specifically Japanese. It's like, "hey reggae is only for Jamaica!" or "hip-hop is only for black men from Harlem!" C'MON! 🤣

Whether you think Vkei can be Japanese only or not, the "sharp jaw" and "narrow face" argument is like the worst because... well... look at Japanese people! Hell, look at Hakuei's own bandmates lol. By Hakuei's own definition, Penicillin's drummer can't be Visual Kei because he has a rounder face.
Sorry O-Jiro, maybe the Kamchadals or Chukchi will accept you into their culture, seeing as Hakuei is the CEO of the Japanese nationality.
I have immense respect for Hakuei as a musician, but like... even if you believe Visual Kei belongs to Japan because of cultural reasons, the facial feature argument is shit
