    Visual Kei is a very underrated quarter of music and metal in general. Their outlandish and extreme costumes can often overshadow how talented the musicians and songwriters really are. But all you need to do to prove it is listen to VK albums and ignore the aesthetics.

    Fun fact: in Japan producers know each other and they are a "few", a decent amount of them like yuyoyuppe works for Babymetal, and almost all of them have had a solo project under some alias that was focused on Vocaloid Metal music, these producers well, produce everything on their own.
    And if you listen to their old songs, you can see these experimental stuff being done and practiced long time ago on their own.
    A few honorable mentions you should check out are:
    -yuyoyuppe
    -MuryokuP
    -OkameP
    -yokomin
    -UtsuP
    These guys keep themselves VERY busy.
    For instance: yuyoyuppe has another solo project in which he works as a dj called DJ tekina besides working for babymetal as a producer.
    UtsuP has his own band called OHAYOUGOZAIMASU and has also done some dj sets remixing his vocaloid songs.
    MuryokuP started focussing on producing music for VideoGames of course still in Japan.
    Nick if you read this I'd love to see your reaction and thoughts on some Vocaloid Metal stuff.

      For people that enjoy Deathcore, Utsu-P is definitely the best pick out of the bunch. OGRE is a good call, or maybe MiKUSABBATH. Conveniently, there's also a compilation album of Utsu-P's best "shits", with "骸Attack!!" (Corpse Attack) being the most viewed on Spotify.
      Yuyuyoppe also has a new metal band called Naked Identity Created by King (N.I.C.K. for short) and Vivid Candy is their newest most popular song which mixes electronic and trap influences - although maybe Seed would be more in tune for a Nik reaction due to its striking resemblances to BMTH's music. They are way more popular on Japan and could really use the views on YT!

    I believe he actually is saying "Taste my venom", it just sounds like he's saying "bleghnom" because the "v" sound doesn't exist in Japanese. They use the "b" sound instead. That's why it sounds like he's saying "bleghnom", or "benom".

Nothing has hit the right way for me and it doesn't feel as exciting or experimental compared to newer acts. I'd love to see DEG take a stab at djent/thall inspired sound like they were getting to before Arche but then suddenly went almost radio friendly. I think it also involved Kyos vocals getting hurt though so its also been kind necessary for them too?

    I love these SO MUCH! I think Visual Kei/JMetal is hugely slept on and probably ripped into alot purely down to
    1. English isnt the first language so lyrics and stuff get lost in translation and can come off weird
    2. Visual Kei as a genre is all about it feeling theatric and the outfits and overall look when realistically its in the name VISUAL Kei.
    I guarantee if this was realeased by a Western band the responses would be 100% different than they get elsewhere which is a damn shame. Japanese metal goes HARD and has done for a longgggg time. I mean look at Dir En Grey, been going since 1993 and they have some HEAVY stuff.
    Anyways keep enjoying J-Metal and just have fun with it!
