kukew 87 Posted March 7, 2016 First of all I didn't know where I should post this, so... please let me know ;-; Okay, I know that basically every visual-kei band would easily fit into the idea of this topic title, but I'm talking about bands like 美女♂men Vlossom or 少年シンデレラ (shounen Cinderella), even マイドラゴン (My Dragon) or any other band that show its glow in the art of transformation, performance, etc. Even if it's not pink, glittery, colorful, japanese or 'kawaii' at all, you should reply and share your contributions if you feel it ♫♪ 美女♂men Vlossom 少年シンデレラ (shounen Cinderella) マイドラゴン (My Dragon) I ♥ those bands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdoll 907 Posted March 7, 2016 Sui(megaromania) Ryohei(ayabie) and kaya are best at this. Yuuki-sama is legendary though so he shouldn't even be mentioned 2 suji and kukew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suji 8317 Posted March 7, 2016 The proper term would be "onnagata". I love these types of bands, although I honestly don't listen to them a lot. I wish there were more onnagata bands who do kotekei, like way back then. btw i don't like the term "trap", it sounds so demeaning, but that's just personal preference 1 kukew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biopanda 2675 Posted March 7, 2016 Obviously there's 実験台モルモット(Jikkendai Marmot), whose vocalist is in that Shounen Cinderella session band. Also as a former trap, I'm 100% okay with the use of that term :v 1 kukew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkmakona 1810 Posted March 7, 2016 "Neko Mimi" call themselves otokonoko (daughter of man - crossdresser, etc) The vocalist (Mie) did some solo work too. There was another vk(?) solo artist called CELICE or something i think as well. 2 kukew and CAT5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CAT5 9075 Posted March 7, 2016 Omg! I honestly didn't know she was a man! He does a good job then ^^;; (then again I only listened to this band only one time) LOL, I feel ya. Even with years of exposure to VK, I was mildly confused when I first saw this PV ages ago. I've also shown their PVs to people who are oblivious to Japanese music, and they thought he was a she too. But I also see how his squeaky vocals could be misconstrued for female too - @ghost seemed to have a bit of trouble making them out in the recent trade-off thread.

leafwork 814 Posted March 8, 2016 Ziyoou-vachi? Avu is a trans woman, not a crossdresser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enyx 903 Posted March 8, 2016 Strangely it's only just dawned on me after reading this thread just how feminine Margaret is. I've always just seen him as 'eccentric' rather than overtly 'feminine', but now that you mention it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted March 8, 2016 Avu is a trans woman, not a crossdresser Since I am speaking of the band, it's pretty obvious that I am not focusing on Avu (since she is a trans and it has been clear ever since their major debut) but nonetheless, they still had/still have crossdressing guitarists (current one is not exactly "genderbending" to that extent but he could be considered as a vk-tier "crossdresser" by MH standards). Gigi-chan (former) as an example I might have pointed it out first (my fault, sry) but careful observers notice exactly why I posted one of their older PVs (I could always post jpopsuki.tv links but it won't make sense that way, will it?)
