secret_no_03 959 Posted June 7, 2019 So, I was watching Boys Over Flowers on Netflix with the SO and it got me thinking...Has there ever been a movie or TV series based around VK? Since probably not you can lump in movies starring VK artists, so Set El Hoth, Moon Child, Oresama. 1 nomemorial reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomemorial 341 Posted June 7, 2019 The closest I can think of is, maybe, NANA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nana_(manga) 1 yomii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted June 7, 2019 UnsraW was supposed to be in a movie of some sort, but I don't think it actually got filmed. There was also supposed to be some sort of glossy, hallmark channel, ~life of a bandman~ movie that I recall reading about, but I don't know what became of it. There's also that X movie, and the movie with P!nk in it that Violet UK wrote the theme for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YuyoDrift 1540 Posted June 7, 2019 @secret_no_03 So I'm guessing that you saw the other drama (Shut Up) Flower Boy Band? Thats the one I thought you were referring to lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeybanana4 1732 Posted June 7, 2019 I think there was a movie with some of the PSC bands/members in it. Never watched it before, so I couldn't tell you how it is. although probably not that great... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

platy 3018 Posted June 7, 2019 Takeru from SuG starred in a movie. Was probably garbage, but hey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But not really interesting. It's only a 2seconds flashback showing a live part without sound. Also, Mao(Sadie) voice was used for a song in the live action movie of Beck.

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted June 7, 2019 Oh, apparently the vocalist of The Brow Beat is an actor, and that's why he has so many Twitter followers. And Versailles had that TV-movie they made where they do chores for some girl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted June 7, 2019 btw the anime series / live-action adaptation of Detroit Metal City could be a pretty accurate portrayal of the average VK musician (even though it's just about some 'standard' metal band). Keeping up the appearance of being br00tal and edgy on stage while secretly wanting to play soft J-pop (looking at you, Tsuzuku, Juri & co)... 1 yomii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some bad anime about bombs (Btooom?) had a scene where a group of ~glamorous~ men with brightly colored hair lure a bunch of high school girls home and assault them, with the ring leader being named "Yayoi." Unintentionally became a docu-series 1 2 suji, platy and Jigsaw9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted June 7, 2019 @Peace Heavy mk II That reminds me, the parody anime "Excel Saga" actually has some VK in it. Episode 21 is literally titled "Visual K", starring a VK-type rocker dude called Key and his weird antics. Also in one of the episodes (might be ep.1?) the evil mastermind boss of the protagonist is trying to learn guitar and then he's rocking out with a bunch of colorfully dressed up dudes while shouting "visual visual visual!" lmao. 2 platy and secret_no_03 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

violetchain 912 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) It's not about VK, but DAISUKE, YOU and Yuu from THE SOUND BEE HD are in a movie called "BUGS". I don't really know any details about it except that it's being produced by the singer from the band mil9 and it's described as a "non-stop action movie". https://bugsmovie.jp/ I remember someone mentioning that Kyan Yutaka from Golden Bomber acts, although I've never seen anything he was in. There's a list here: http://asianwiki.com/Yutaka_Kyan ^Looks like all of the members of Golden Bomber acted in a few of the High & Low movies starring members of EXILE. Didn't know that.

Neigedesmannes 70 Posted June 8, 2019 I can think of Kaikan Phrase? From what i know it's a shojo manga centered around vk(kind of) bandmen and they even got a real life band formed from that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
