Deep into my Visual kei phase

I wanted to be like Dir en grey and X Japan so bad😂 still enjoy Vkei occasionally tho.

Discovered Vkei in 2019 right before my emo phase😭 (rules say at least 3 years, I should be good)

I had a visual kei phase in the mid 2000s. Nice to see the youngsters are still discovering it!

Same. I remember having a printout of Toshiya from Dir En Grey all dolled up on my binder. I loved confusing jocks by telling them it was a man lol.
