Light, Romantic Visual Kei: Does it exist elsewhere?

[fitear1590 2414]

One of my consistently favorite styles in VK is the light and "fluffy," romantic stuff like Lareine, some Malice Mizer, Secilia Luna, Izabel Varosa, etc... The violins, the cheesy chimes, and all that, with a rock twist. I love it! (See the question at the bottom of this post)

Some concrete examples of what I'm talking about:

_______________________________________________

One of my friends and I have discussed this style a few times and we couldn't think of any "western" music that embodied quite the same style. So what do you think?

Does it exist outside of Visual Kei? Or do you need to have at least one member in a dress to make this stuff...

If you think you've found a good example, please share it!

it's called pop-rock.

[fitear1590 2414]

I guess the piano parts of the Muse song are kinda it.

I'm not feeling the Killers one at all though.

Probably not quite what you mean but the closest thing I can think of now:

Not really.

Jens Lekman comes closest, though! Cheesy violins and all.

He's a genius.

I think it fits well, both in visuals and lightness

[fitear1590 2414]

nekkichi wins!

Particularly the first song was very weird, but interesting!

And precious kittycat, I'd always heard of Jens Lekman, but never checked him out.

My mistake!

Kinda light/romantic. Nemesis, Korean pop-rock band.

Wow, jigsaw9, that was right on!

Thanks for posting that. I'm gonna have to look into them some more.

derp, forget them. Actually used to love them, despite being the only person at their gigs who wasn't a 14 year old girl.

I somehow imagine Herpes going in to the concert hall as a grown ass man seeing all those teenage girls

Thank you for sharing this!

[fitear1590 2414]

Nemesis is really one of my favorite bands now, but I stumbled on another Korean band that seems to fit this style.

It's a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed it. Anyone here happen to be a fan of 이브(EVE)?

[Furik 832]

this is a thread for romantic vk not anything else, get it right!

Gurrrrrrrrrl, I created this thread and I say this is romantic!

[Pretsy 1343]

Non-vk romantic music...ummm

Definitely NOT going to second nekkichi's post since that I never liked that...plastic woman bah.

But that Boris-guy is pretty flawless imho

Anyways, my turn:

One of the few good "non-british britpop" songs

Pretty mainstream but yet still, it's cool and chilly track
