Why did doctor Mike send everyone here wtf???? I’ve been gatekeeping visual kei for 14 years. Please don’t tell tiktok. Edit: nevermind I can guess why y’all are here😂don’t go looking into this music genre. You think Ozzy was crazy for biting the head off a bat? That’s nothing in the world of Japanese rock.
This still stands to be my favorite song of 2012. I just love it! I can listen to it a billion times and never get bored. Idk what people were talking about when they said that born is missing something, because I think they are even better now than before.
"(there's a chance that the eyeball-licking scene was only included to distract everyone from the fact that the song sounds like it belongs on a menu screen for an EA Sports game about snowboarding from a decade ago, but at this point that's just speculation)" This guy really doesn't know about japanese music!
"The craze is thought to stem from a music video by Japanese emo band Born (there's a chance that the eyeball-licking scene was only included to distract everyone from the fact that the song sounds like it belongs on a menu screen for an EA Sports game about snowboarding from a decade ago, but at this point that's just speculation)." [The Guardian]..........LOL!
NIGHTMARE made the 1st Death Note opening and ending.They still make music, but goo check out their stuff from the early 2000s if you want some sweet Death Note style visual kei.
リヴィド and Anima are great, and The World Ruler contains both the opening and ending to Death Note. Yomi, who does the vocals, sounds best around 2005-2009. His voice was underdeveloped before then and he was diagnosed with functional dysphonia after that time period.
The proper term for this genre of music, would be Visual Kei. Here's the definition: Visual kei (ヴィジュアル系 bijuaru kei?, lit. "visual style" or "visual system") is a movement among Japanese musicians, that is characterized by the use 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
I just came here to see why the eyeball licking is so cool. I haven't watched it yet because I am praying to god that I don't get addicted to this band the way I got addicted to SHINee. Here goes my life!
I'm so offended lol I like Japanese rock but Kpop is great And nothing is wrong with gay The more feminine the guys are the more attractive they are in sure you wouldn't want a guy with a crooked jaw singing sarang to you
+selenia johnson I think the same way I'm a guy and I want to be attractive like them and I know I am I'm straight but sometimes I wonder am I byesexual
I feel that Born nowadays lack something. They are much much more awesome back in their Felony Pv days. Back then, I can hear so much emotion whenever Ryouga-kun sings. I feel that their music since they became a PSC band have become somewhat restricted, commercialized and dull. I don't mean it in a bad way, I do still listen to them until now. It's just that PSC should give their bands much more freedom in expressing their music.
You're so lucky to have seen them. They were in my town a few years ago along with Satsuki for a con, but I couldn't go because the con moved an hr away so I ended up going to see Dir en Grey since they were playing in my neighborhood. I love Diru, but I've seen them a few times, but born and Satsuki don't come every year like Diru.
As long as they work hard for it, I think they deserve a fan and an audience =w=, music is subjective, I understand that, but remember this seeing is not the same as listening =w=
x) Ryoga's reaction to the accusation of the PV encouraging this silly trend is rather funny XD It was already happening and this PV has been out for ages, so really, how can you blame the PV? The song is awesome, so argument invalid :L
Why their view is too low. This song is fucking awesome! I never expected that their view r only 556,246! I wished their Views would be at least 1-2 million. :( WTF!!!
They didn't actually, and they also said where it did start. It started from a Japanese teacher telling a young couple to do it and tell others that it was popular as a sort of experiment I think. When he asked his class later who had tried it 1/3 of the class said yes. My guess is he wanted to see how many kids would do something weird if it was said to be popular
I love BORN no matter what but I agree with you @KatRaymundo! Black Theory Mania was their best but there are other great songs in this album too like Face and Touketsu. I also love ProudiA! It made me cry that song...
@Pinkusuupaida Thank you for being kind and understanding, most people would have probably got mad for unknown reasons, so thank you for not yelling at me.
I love Born, they are a great band, shame people had to find out about them only because of the eyeball trend, I really didn't expect it to get this much attention considering how many weirder things have been done in other videos cx oh well, I hope they get some more genuine fans after this blows over.
Personally,I am a huge fan of Born and I find it really unfair that people are judging the band off of a stupid trend that probably wasn't even started by them rather then the music itself. If you don't like the music then you should just click off the video and find something else to watch instead of insulting it. There are people here who enjoy their music and we do not appreciate it being insulted.
Ryoga and Byo are the only vocalist related to PSC that I like. I personally think that both bands should leave the company, but compared to all the events that both bands have been doing and the amount of sold out venues that both are bringing to the table, I doubt that the company will let them go freely.
Hey, while you're here, enjoy the music. Because either way, you - and countless others- are watching the video. I suggest watching their other videos too; there's no eyeball licking but amazing music and visuals. :)
пришол по ролику про лизание глаз, но трек настолько харош, что я слушаю иво до сих пор спустя год. хезе ваще чо за группа, хотелось бы узнать, но у нас мало инфы по ней, или ето просто не я так ищу.. кароче прикольно вышло
good thing that i came here via elders react and damn this is good though surely people haven't thought it through as surely only having the tongue touch the contact won't damage the eye but without contacts in will damage?
I doubt they put that there just because they thought that it would sell better, considering how it was picked up on a year later, no one paid much attention to those two seconds of the song when it was first released.
I really don't want to butt into this but... the FineBros said it "is said to have gained even more popularity" because of this video. They never said that it STARTED from this video nor did it say for certain that it gained popularity from this video. It only stated that it "is said" to have, however there is no proof. On to another note, this band is interesting ^^ They really remind me of anime; the hair and stuff. :)
Okay, A9 have most definitely gotten progressively better and better since becoming major with PSC, "9" is a brilliant example of this compared to "Alpha". The GazettE have been called mainstream nowadays and yes, they don't have the creativity they used to have anymore cause it gets hard to write songs when you've already written the good ones. SuG, their motto is "Heavy Positive Rock", if anything, they're "Pop-rock" now. PSC is not entirely to blame, the bands choose to take this course.
Damn, people, seriously. The vocalist (Ryoga) laughed about the trend with eyeball licking. After all it's possible that BORN were the first band to show this (I'm not to sure about this anyways) but there are way more videos that should be more shocking (Nega - Muddy Cult for example). Plus, if students like this eyeball licking or whatever, it's because they want to do it and nobody makes them accept or do it. So it's not your business at all~
A rock band that dresses in a more flamboyant fashion than most, complete with make up & hair; may or may not have at least one member who goes full on crossdresser. Depending on the band & type of music, costumes can range from very dark & Gothic to "Rainbow Brite"-styled concoctions. Started in the early 90's. If you took 5 minutes to Google Image search "visual kei" & "oshare kei", you'd see they're 100% different from emo style.
Because I know at least some of you are interested: Singer - Ryouga Blond Guitarist - K Brunette Guitarist - Ray Bassist - Kifumi Drums - Tomo They are all male.
Uhm... BORN have been active since 2007, and before, they've been working under the name Renny Amy. So, I just looked it up, Black Veil Brides were founded later and have to be the answer to BORN (or Visual Kei bands that have been active for about 30 years now~) then.
Well actually these aren't the "charts" this is a genre in Japan. In the charts you find things like ayabie or other things there a cute pink bubbles etc.
Doctor Mike brought me here
me too
Why did doctor Mike send everyone here wtf???? I’ve been gatekeeping visual kei for 14 years. Please don’t tell tiktok.
Edit: nevermind I can guess why y’all are here😂don’t go looking into this music genre. You think Ozzy was crazy for biting the head off a bat? That’s nothing in the world of Japanese rock.
Same!
Who is here after doctor Mike
Me
Me too
me three
Me
Me 😔
Came here for eyeball licking
Left with a new band
Awesome!
Right!!! Same!!!
same
+woahohahoha TomoNews?
+woahohahoha go see marilyn manson born villain
Boii same
Imagine getting paid to lick Ryoga's eye lmao
I mean I I wouldn’t have to be paid 😂😂
@@yo-kasimp4281 excuse me- that's sus 😳📸
You can tell them apart?
I came here to see some eye licking
Why did "Elders react to eyeball licking" video make so many people come here? Now the mainstream media has been exposed to J-rock...
***** The more popular something becomes, the more haters it has.
But it also means more fans, thus making more money for the band to support them and their music.
Came for the weird trend, stayed for the music
Me too. I came to see the whole eyeball licking trend, but I found this unexpectedly good band
Eyeball licking starts at 3:30 if your intrested :)
Doctor Mike sent me here
This still stands to be my favorite song of 2012. I just love it! I can listen to it a billion times and never get bored. Idk what people were talking about when they said that born is missing something, because I think they are even better now than before.
No clue how I got here but I love the hair and I miss this time period extensively :,)
I really love the way Ryoga looks in every PV
Wow 6 months since the last comment. 2019?
Still my fav ❤ They are going to disband this year 😢
Doctor Mike!
Another classy individual I see 😏
Its been a while since I listened to them. Still love them.
another amazing song from BORN!! i think Ryoga is one of the best vocalist i've ever heard!!
Lol! Everyone came to watch this music video just for the eye ball licking, including my self. Well played, BORN, well played. ^.^ hahaha!
"(there's a chance that the eyeball-licking scene was only included to distract everyone from the fact that the song sounds like it belongs on a menu screen for an EA Sports game about snowboarding from a decade ago, but at this point that's just speculation)" This guy really doesn't know about japanese music!
Oh esto es lo que escuchaba cuando tenía 12-13 años, que recuerdos, ahora tengo 22
Can make a badass anime opening! :)
So true
I second that
super true
学生の頃に聞きまくってたから青春=BORNなんだよね〜
ときたま聴きたくなる

Aside from eyeball licking they're a pretty awesome band.
This music video wasn't all that bad and I liked the song. Thanks, FineBros
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like the DeathNote theme song??? XDDD
I agree
That's Visual Kei too but i don't think it sounds the same.
NIGHTMARE made the 1st Death Note opening and ending.They still make music, but goo check out their stuff from the early 2000s if you want some sweet Death Note style visual kei.

"In Creature", "More Deep", "Blasted Animals", "Dammit!!!!!", and "Proudia" are some of their best songs.
Love this song!! Born forever!
Gosh, I'm listening for j-rock for a few years now, but I haven't seen this PV. Fine bros, thank you for introducing a great band!
teens react brought me here..
No i meant elders react.
What is the video called?! I must watch it!!
Alyssa Michelle "Elders react to eyeball licking" in The FineBro's channel :)
Dr. Mike's new video brought me here.
I literally remembered this song for no reason
ASIDE from the eyeball licking grossness, I ADORE this MV...They are REALLY pretty and I LOVE their voices
I am SO happy now I found this! I love their music!
... Thanks TheFineBros!
BORN é foda! \m/
É sim
The proper term for this genre of music, would be Visual Kei. Here's the definition:
Visual kei (ヴィジュアル系 bijuaru kei?, lit.

the voice is very different, most Japanese singers sound similar.
+PsychoKitty사랑 Not true.
phantom very true
Tipycal kpoper girl 😂
Thanks! Here from Drudge, wasn't relishing the thought of sitting through four and a half minutes of Japanese Emo for 2 seconds to understand a craze.
this needs to be a theme for a anime
red desire, psycho diva, and felony are all great songs by Born. There are also a bunch of other amazing Visual Kei bands out there, go explore! :)
Fine bros brought me here
same here
I just came here to see why the eyeball licking is so cool. I haven't watched it yet because I am praying to god that I don't get addicted to this band the way I got addicted to SHINee.
Here goes my life!
japaneese band is better than korean k pop it looks like gay
Those are my words.
I'm so offended lol I like Japanese rock but Kpop is great
And nothing is wrong with gay
The more feminine the guys are the more attractive they are in sure you wouldn't want a guy with a crooked jaw singing sarang to you
+selenia johnson I think the same way I'm a guy and I want to be attractive like them and I know I am I'm straight but sometimes I wonder am I byesexual
I don't think kpop freaks are attractive from any angle. They just look lame. Visual kei looks far more cool.
Avichal Sharma i know I want to look like visual kei
Came for the eyeball licking, stayed for the epic music.
I feel that Born nowadays lack something. They are much much more awesome back in their Felony Pv days. Back then, I can hear so much emotion whenever Ryouga-kun sings. I feel that their music since they became a PSC band have become somewhat restricted, commercialized and dull. I don't mean it in a bad way, I do still listen to them until now. It's just that PSC should give their bands much more freedom in expressing their music.
I think Ryouga responded on this whole thing & said that the idea that Spiral Lie PV caused this trend is ridiculous.
The music is great and everything, but daem. Can we just appreciate the fact that the girl gets to lick Ryouga's body...?
You're so lucky to have seen them. They were in my town a few years ago along with Satsuki for a con, but I couldn't go because the con moved an hr away so I ended up going to see Dir en Grey since they were playing in my neighborhood. I love Diru, but I've seen them a few times, but born and Satsuki don't come every year like Diru.
Good sound,. I like how they pause and continue after half second. Very precise. Good energy!
I mean the looks. They looked like the visual kei The Gazette. Specially their vocalist and one of their guitarist. :D
As long as they work hard for it, I think they deserve a fan and an audience =w=, music is subjective, I understand that, but remember this seeing is not the same as listening =w=
x) Ryoga's reaction to the accusation of the PV encouraging this silly trend is rather funny XD It was already happening and this PV has been out for ages, so really, how can you blame the PV? The song is awesome, so argument invalid :L
thank you for saving 3:30 minutes of my life
actually there was a small trend for emo a few years back. There are quite a few emo bands knocking about and they definitely look different from VK
Why their view is too low. This song is fucking awesome! I never expected that their view r only 556,246! I wished their Views would be at least 1-2 million. :( WTF!!!
They didn't actually, and they also said where it did start. It started from a Japanese teacher telling a young couple to do it and tell others that it was popular as a sort of experiment I think.

they were awesome in concert and really nice too~
@Pinkusuupaida Thank you for being kind and understanding, most people would have probably got mad for unknown reasons, so thank you for not yelling at me.
Well, as you might know they're a Visual Kei band and it's more about rebelling against the strict society in Japan than about getting attention.
Came for the eyeball licking, stayed for the music and a couple weeks later sooooo into visual kei and crying over BORN.
this can be the opening of yandere simulator 😂
Ps: I *LOVE* Born😍😍(Ryoga-Samaaaa~)
I love Born, they are a great band, shame people had to find out about them only because of the eyeball trend, I really didn't expect it to get this much attention considering how many weirder things have been done in other videos cx oh well, I hope they get some more genuine fans after this blows over.
The Fine brothers brought me here.. I stayed for the gorgeous men.
Personally,I am a huge fan of Born and I find it really unfair that people are judging the band off of a stupid trend that probably wasn't even started by them rather then the music itself. If you don't like the music then you should just click off the video and find something else to watch instead of insulting it.

You'd be so right in thinking that x) He is damn fine, I love him with brown hair >< I love him regardless, his voice is lethal.
i friking love BORN!

OMG This is great. Love these guys . Great job.
i would be DAMN proud if my son wore makeup.
пришол по ролику про лизание глаз, но трек настолько харош, что я слушаю иво до сих пор спустя год. хезе ваще чо за группа, хотелось бы узнать, но у нас мало инфы по ней, или ето просто не я так ищу.. кароче прикольно вышло
eyes licking drive me here...
enough internet for today
Ohw, Kifumi always surprised me. He is an awesome bassist.
This is actually the style I've been looking for...Really epic!
I knew about the band since I listen a lot of visual kei like The GazettE but this is probably the first time I've listened to one of their videos.
You're not the only one...I'm a JROCk fan, but this is madness o.o
WHOAWHOAWHOA. BORN IS AN AMAZING BAND. SHSHSHHHHHHHHHH
good thing that i came here via elders react and damn this is good though surely people haven't thought it through as surely only having the tongue touch the contact won't damage the eye but without contacts in will damage?
I doubt they put that there just because they thought that it would sell better, considering how it was picked up on a year later, no one paid much attention to those two seconds of the song when it was first released.
sorry, it's just a cycle of my immaturity, i deeply apologise for that
I really don't want to butt into this but... the FineBros said it "is said to have gained even more popularity" because of this video.

On to another note, this band is interesting ^^ They really remind me of anime; the hair and stuff. :)
the song was cool, i was in panic for the singer the entire time though o u o eep!
This is awesome! Thank you Fine Bros!
Hey,
This is the first time im listenin to this band and I like it.. what other songs do u guys recommend to me?
Out of ALL the things that lady could've done to Ryouga, she decided to lick his eyeball...
Okay, A9 have most definitely gotten progressively better and better since becoming major with PSC, "9" is a brilliant example of this compared to "Alpha".

@ccspokai91 the Gazette isn't with psc anymore, they signed a major label with Sony entertainment -_-
Damn, people, seriously. The vocalist (Ryoga) laughed about the trend with eyeball licking. After all it's possible that BORN were the first band to show this (I'm not to sure about this anyways) but there are way more videos that should be more shocking (Nega - Muddy Cult for example).

Ryoga is really beautiful and talented ! I like BORN very much ^^
A rock band that dresses in a more flamboyant fashion than most, complete with make up & hair; may or may not have at least one member who goes full on crossdresser.

Because I know at least some of you are interested:
Singer - Ryouga
Blond Guitarist - K
Brunette Guitarist - Ray
Bassist - Kifumi
Drums - Tomo
They are all male.
Yeah Ryouga did. It's on some site called shattered tranquility.
I recommend Diaura, Alice Nine, Exist Trace, Kiryu, ViViD, Royz, Sadie, Kra, Daizystripper, & the best for last, The GazettE. :D Hope this helps. ^^
Damn my comment from a year ago hasn’t even moved down that much het
Log out then look
I just wasn't expecting it... :/ (I wasn't ready)
Uhm... BORN have been active since 2007, and before, they've been working under the name Renny Amy. So, I just looked it up, Black Veil Brides were founded later and have to be the answer to BORN (or Visual Kei bands that have been active for about 30 years now~) then.
Well actually these aren't the "charts" this is a genre in Japan. In the charts you find things like ayabie or other things there a cute pink bubbles etc.
Welcome to the Visual kei, dear.
No, he doesn't. The first theme song was sung by a band called SID, and the second one was sung by The Gazette.
I haven't listened to Born since "Demons". Seems like I've been missing out!!!
The song is actually great. That's my opinion,
