Traxan 148 Posted December 24, 2014 Ok, little setup for those who don't know. J-MELO is a Japanese music show on NHK World, the English-language version of Japan's NHK channel. It's on AT&T U-verse and several other cable providers in big cities around the U.S. The host is May J, a cute multi-ethnic singer who has her own healthy career in Japan and her English is flawless. In the intro to tonight's (12/23) show, she said there had been numerous requests for Visual Kei and they were going to answer the demand. The bands profiled were Jupiter, D=Out and Div. All three performed one song in between interviews with May. Unfortunately, the show really didn't get into what VK is about. Lots of dumb questions from readers like is there a bandmate you don't want to room with on the road. They also announced a VK section on the J-MELO site: http://www.nhk.or.jp/j-melo/nhkworld/english/event/20140308_visual-kei/volume/volume5/ It will repeat on NHK over the next day, so if you have the channel, try and catch it. if you want. 1 Tetora reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traxan 148 Posted August 3, 2015 They had another band, GazettE, on tonight. Lotta hair flying around in that mostly-female audience. So does anyone ever watch this show? It's on AT&T UVerse. Not sure of the other cable companies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lestat 2167 Posted August 3, 2015 I once watched BUCK-TICK and Versailles shows broadcasted on their channel, but I think that was all I was ever interested in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted August 3, 2015 Is this the show that was trying to grill Hizaki to come out as trans? Saw some gifs of a Jupiter interview that, without complete context, seemed like this happened within the past year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted August 3, 2015 Trying to find the .gif set without much success, but he was more or less saying "I dress like this, but I really have no desire to be a woman," which I'm sure is a fairly common topic for him to cover. No idea if it is even the same thing as this thread is about, but the stage at least looked similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vanivani 558 Posted August 3, 2015 They didn't ask hizaki if he were trans. They asked the whole band if they would be a woman. I think they were questions from the fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
