Just discovered 白黒キネマ yesterday and I can't believe it took me this long to get into them
 

Can't say I know of any productions that were specifically made for VK, but as referencing goes, I can think of a few animations that have brought in VK characters or small references. (Just about everything I know in films has already been mentioned)
 
-The manga Skip Beat (follows show business) has a character named Reino who's in a visual kei band. 
-The anime Sket Dance has a visual kei character named Dante. He's voiced by Gackt (lol). 
-And I remember a friend of mine once showed me some Naruto mini where one of the characters was imagining the worst possible boyfriend scenario a girl could have and it was a visual kei dude (lol again).  
Needless to say, most of the portrayals are actually kind of negative.  The character Gackt voices is stereotypical but also pretty comical, so that one isn't too bad.
Also I think a few anime and video game characters have been modeled after Kiyoharu, but I don't know any specific names. 
 
Also not VK related, but I remember Kyan Yutaka was in a movie a few years ago. I think he's trying to make it as an actor. And if we count Onegai Versailles, then Golden Bomber also made their own movie a long time ago called Sorinokoshita Natsu. It was special, to put it nicely.

I have personally found Japan to be quite infrequent and unexpected in terms of physical media, just in the last five or so years, some band are even reusing the mini-disc, and 8cm CD format to produce music, It's very nostalgia filled.

They're saying that it looks like schools won't be open for the rest of the year. This entire situation reminds me so much of Contagion it's scary.

Maybe visual-kei is dead after all.

are grainy webcam photos and nasal tip piercings vk?

I never understood why care so much about a band ripping off diru when diru never sounds the same from album to album. Might as well let someone else copy a sound they're obviously never going back to.

"Dir en grey" sound really good  XD
 

Marvelous Cruelty join a record label and have more consistent releases

u b tripping luv x
 
tragic dir en grey abomination doesn't account for every other band men out there

Seconded. This is almost eerie in how likely it seems.

Got the first tickets for my upcoming Japan trip 🙏🙏

Most metal and rock fans despise pop? I am sorry, but where exactly do this retarded generalization come from? I have, throughout 15+ years og going to metal concerts, going to (mainly) metal bars and hanging with metal people, and discussing metal online on a shitload of metal foras, only talked to a couple of handful of metal fans who did not love pop. The vast majority absolutely adores pop, especially cheesy 80's pop and 90's eurodance. I have been to a countless amount of "metal vorspiels/nachspiels", plenty of them with highly regarded (mostly extreme) metal musicians, and the most played genre at, by far, pop.
 
It's absolutely fucking shocking that people throw around statements like that in 2019. Being so bigoted in 2019? The fuck is this shit?
