Hi. Do you like music? To those of you who dont mind opening your ears to new things, Ill be doing this every Wednesday: Foreign Music. Today, I present you with a band that greatly helped me in my Japanese... the GazettE. The Gazette (stylized as the GazettE), is a Japanese visual kei rock band. The band is currently signed to Sony Music Japans VVV Records. Visual kei (ヴィジュアル系 vijuaru kei, lit. visual style or visual system) is a movement among Japanese musicians, that is characterized by the use of varying levels of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics. Some sources think that visual kei refers to a music genre, with its sound usually related to glam rock, punk rock and heavy metal. However, visual kei acts play various genres, including those considered by some as unrelated to rock such as electronic, pop, etc. Other sources, including members of the movement themselves, state that it is not a music genre and that the fashion and participation in the related subculture is what exemplifies the use of the term. Every member of the GazettE is male.
