    I think that everyone has their own opinion on what kotekote is and isn't, for me the typical kotekote sound was the sound that the majority of the Matina bands had. However, Japanese fans say kotekotekei to a lot of bands nowadays as well.

     

    Pretty much.

    I think the golden age of kotekote so to speak was around 00 where almost every band on the scene tried to fit as much leather, blood, haircolors and eyeliner as possible.

    But in general the term refers to any band with an over the top dark image (look, sound, lyrics and stage persona) and there's still tons of those around.

    Many earlier 90s bands, even those with gothy antics I wouldn't refer to as kotekote, they had a much simpler, less flamboyant sense of style overall.

    Although it did exist back then, of course.

    There are many brilliant visual kei bands from the early 90s and many acts that became well known major bands later started out during that time.

    Bands that released impressive songs in the first half of the 1990s I can think of the top of my head include LUNA SEA, 黒夢, Deshabillz, ROUAGE, FANATIC◇CRISIS, Ti+Dee, L'Arc~en~Ciel, GLAY, D†ress, Sleep My Dear, Penicillin, SHAZNA, o×b×j×e and well- the list goes on.

     

    The late 90s and early 00s 'kotekote' craze gets more credit overseas so it sometimes seems like the earlier era wasn't as densely populated with interesting acts but the opposite is true. VK was booming!

    they doged a bullet here

     

    Most likely, yes.

    Scrolling over the info on this guy it appears he keeps joining local bands under different names, promoting them heavily with false info, getting money in advance then disappearing and leaving the other members with the expenses and live + release schedule they can't keep.

    Also it seems that he always changes the password for OHP and social media so they can't login anymore.

     

    It's the internet of course so maybe maybe it's just people desperately trying to harm him but most of these stories do have proof or legit source.

     

    • As member of nobody bands made friends with well established bandmen, showed photos of backstage passes on his blog and on the internet. promised those bands fans to meet their idol through him, pressed money and sex in return. Got established bands in trouble.

     

    • Was in charge of designing his own bands artwork and also comissioned by other bands to do theirs. Didn't actually design himself but stole third parties artwork without permission.

     

    • Promoted Homosapiens using well known names from the scene (produced by [well known band]s producer! recorded with [well known sound engineer]! pv done by [well known band]s video team!) and claiming their first single hit oricon indies charts top 5 which wasn't true.

     

    • Claimed to be new guitarist of angelo, got indies brand to design his costumes , told them he'd make them famous. Never paid for the clothes, didn't return them either. Turned out he wasn't angelos new guitarist.

     

    • grabbed distributed goods and releases by bands he performed with to sell for $$ on auctions

     

    • Joined a new band, leaked their raw recording data on nicovideo before the CD release. Next thing said bands OHP disappeared, other members couldn't log into official social media accounts anymore. Band was ruined, other members didn't dare joining new projects since.

     

    • Formed another band with big announcements, got ex AKB48 and ex bis members to promote them. All their ticket reservations were pay-in-advance. Tour cancelled, tickets never refunded.

     

    • Changed his name, joined yet another band. Band was set to perfom on big scale event but cancelled in last second. No refund. Announced performance as support for famous solo artist, cancelled in last second.

     

    • Joined non-vk band, got local label and music program to promote them, songs and artwork he made for them were plagiarised from other artists. Suddenly disappeared, other members couldn't access official accounts anymore, band was ruined.

     

    • Uses stolen accounts from old projects to promote his new projects.

     

    • Announced new band, never made more than OHP (propably because other members found out about his record)

    etc etc
