:: Death Note meets Visual Kei ::

Definition:
vis-u-al kei [pronounced "k"]:
1. the Japanese, trendy movement adapting 'glam' rock; often influenced by VK bands
2. a style which branches off Jrock; weighing visual appearance as much as musical talent
3. pretty men dressed up like clowns on crack, writing emo-esque songs, and doing a bunch of fanservice to please the sick-minded fangirls... hell, yeahhh <3
4. if you are still confused about VK, refer to Nightmare [the band who does the OP/ED for the Death Note anime series]

{...no, I have nothing against Nightmare or VK =P... isn't VK shallow, though? To one's own, I focus more on music+lyrics though. Appearance is just a plus... unless it becomes a crazy VK fetish =\}

Getting to the point, I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way... But it's freaky when we have our little VK jrock kiddies and Death Note kiddies striking scary, unintentional-cosplaying resemblance:

Misa and Bou [ex-member of An Cafe] are a conspiracy.

Kaoru [Dir en Grey] back in the 304-Gauze days and comparing him to Near...[Now the PV of 304 goushitsu, hakushi no sakura is just so Near-esque on sick crack]. Ok, so the hair colour might be off, but the hair alone is the same... Not to mention the facial expression, seriously.

More to come when I look through my collection of VK pics, and think "Hey, why does this [insert visual kei member] look like [insert Death Note character]?", and vice versa. Got any suggestions? [preferably those who don't intentionally cosplay Death Note... or that whole Mello-Madonna thing] Note 'em here with the subject "dn: vkcosplay".

... and yes, Ruka from Nightmare does make a good Mello full of hawtsecks.
