Comments

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

Oh, they did? Well, that explains it then.

(I don't really follow their activities - over here the band is considered a joke to most people over fifteen.)

[leinyan.livejournal.com]

They were just there last month doing a few shows but they've been there plenty of times already. Don't ask why I know this, I haven't even heard one of their songs, though they are sat on my computer ready for me to mock. I'm guessing you're from Germany right?

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

Hungary, actually. :D Good luck with the songs - especially if you're familiar with JRock/visual kei.

[leinyan.livejournal.com]

Ahh I was wrong! I'm really into my jrock and my visual (and oshare) kei and have been for a while but how are the two related?

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

Well, Tokio Hotel are regarded as a "western visual kei band" by many fans and the image of the lead guy is quite clearly based on vk... though I don't know if he actually owes up to this or not. Some fans also call their music "soooo visual!!1" but, well, judge it for yourself. :D;;

[leinyan.livejournal.com]

Ahaha in what way are Tokio Hotel visual kei? Two of them dress like regular teenage boys, one of them dresses like an extra in a hip hop video and if anything I'd consider Bill to be borderline oshare-kei. It makes no sense to label the entire band as something when only one of them has that quality.

I know I haven't heard it yet, but I don't get how you could label the music visual either. I don't pretend to be an expert on visual kei but there are so many sub-genres with various defining criteria and somehow they fit none of them.

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, oshare kei. xD;; I used to be into vkei myself but sort of wandered out before all these subgenres finished evolving (as much as they'll ever finish evolving, anyway).

Anyway, this is one of the reason why the band (and its fans) mostly bring up two reactions in people actually familiar with JRock/vkei/etc.kei: "LOLOLOL" and "DO NOT WANT." :D;; Those who insist that Tokio Hotel are "visual" usually have absolutely no idea of the correct usage of the terms and of course they're not interested in learning. Ah, but I really should stop bashing them... ;;;orz

[leinyan.livejournal.com]

H-hey I love me some oshare-kei ): but you are right, the sub genres will never stop evolving, there are more names than I can even think of recounting but they're generally a little obscure. I am really enjoying the style that some of the bands have taken on though, always dressing really smart for shoots.

Bashing idiots like that is the only way I can even tolerate their idiocy. It bugs me too, that they have no interest in learning the correct usage of those terms.

[lanjelin.livejournal.com]

Tokio Hotel copied borrowed elements of the visual style carefully avoiding being too visual, but their music is nothing like VK. Bland, general pop/rock, I'd say.

[leinyan.livejournal.com]

I just don't see it. Like I said above - Bill could be considered to be kinda oshare-kei and that's it.

[lanjelin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they rode on the sudden popularity of VK, and especially the incredible and sudden popularity of oshare kei (specifically An Cafe, I think), but didn't pick up the style in its entirety. And they sound nothing like any sort of J-rock, Visual or no.

[leinyan.livejournal.com]

Well visual kei (and the other keis) only had its popularity resurgence about a year ago and as far as I know Tokio Hotel were popular already at the time this began to happen. Maybe they jumped on the coat tails anyway.

[caesaria.livejournal.com]

I know, right? That is so weird that people all over the world start going berserk over a band that sooooo many people (esp here in Germany) just LOL at! xD
I don't hate them or anything, I just think Bill can't sing for shit and I don't personally get the hype... they're just part of the culture now, I guess. I still LOL at them sometimes, though ;-)

(maybe I would think differently if I were 12 :p)
