oooooooohh, pleaaaseeeeeeeeee!!! ok, first they are a german band, is ok to have influence of vk in their song but with the style and names…that is just them trying to be a visual kei band!!!
visual kei is just for japan…..japanese people and that’s it.
who the hell are they trying to be?? i bet 100% that gazette, alice nine, miyavi or even an cafe will laugh their ass off with this fake assholes just by listen to them, they even sing in english and have japanese artistic names..!they are from germany for godsake!! if cinema bizzare ever goes to perform to japan i honestly wonder what all the other bands of the real visual kei will say….again mentioning to gazette miyavi an cafe alice nine sug, etc…come on people wake up they are horrible!!!!!!!!!!they don’t exist next to this bands!!!. ¡¡¡go the real visual kei from japan!!!
I think one of those guys from the band is on TV…
Oh, BTW ‘alexx’ is wrong to try and say visual kei is just for japan and japanese people…
especially when japan borrowed the look and style from europe/america’s glam/80’s rock. ‘Real visual kei’ is anything with a distinctive dressing style. Hense the definition of the phrase visual kei(style). Please, hide your ignorance so others need not be bothered by it.
alexx, you are culturally deprived. I hope you become better aware of the THOUSANDS of CB fans you just insulted, and how many want to kill you now, including myself. Just because you are not from Japan does not mean that it cannot influence you. Chan is absolutly right. VK comes from the 80’s. So if you want to be techncal about it, let’s just say that Japan was influuenced by Europe and America from the 80’s. PLUS Visual Kei is a style, and every band, like my own, has their own style. Also the guys in Cinema Bizarre love the Japanese culture so them wanting to dress like “real visual Kei artists” should be a complement, right? Right. So next time research things before you start ranting and raving. Oh and by the way, Kyo is my nickname that my Japanese friends give me. I’m really 100% not asian, so you can buzz off of Cinema Bizarre.
Cinema Bizarre is awesome! Listen to them if you get the chance, it’s one of the best bands I’ve ever heard.
Cinema Bizarre can kiss my a**. They look NOTHING like Japanese Rock Stars for one >_>. Plus their names are stupid and don’t match them -.-; they just need to stop and go away ==; my point has been made. :)
Maybe they wanted to have a wee bit of a VK band, but also tied in their own styles. Maybe that’s just how they like to dress. Maybe not every VK band does not have to look like a Japanese Rock band. Their nicknames don’t really have to make sense. Kiro’s name came from Strify’s plush monkey. Yu’s is a shortened version of Yuki. Romeo’s… I don’t know about. Strify’s came from a Final Fantisy character. Shin’s is from his friends.
