It's Saturday, so it's time for our last challenge!

For this week's challenge, I want you to share songs by artists that are visual kei..... if you're working with a very faulty definition of what visual kei is. Things you ask "is this visual kei?" about in hopes of getting a laugh or on someone's nerves. Things that made you go "I feel like this isn't accepted as visual kei but I'm not 100% sure why," when you were new to the fandom. If it's dubiously visual kei, now is the time to share it! ^_^ For this challenge, do not use any subgenre tags. You must tag the song as "non-visual," but you may still tag the sound if you like.

The raffle entry limit has also reset, so if you hit the limit last week you can once again have your name entered 3 more times. If you forgot what "the raffle" is, here's how it works again:


  1. Every Saturday until 3W4DW ends, or on the 25th, 2nd, and 9th, I'm posting a new challenge prompt.

  2. Your username will be put into a list every time you post an entry or top comment here from April 25th to May 15th, with a maximum of 3 name-entries per week (with a new week starting on Saturday).

  3. You don't actually have to do the challenges; posting whatever is fine.

  4. You can comment on old entries too.

  5. A winner will be randomly selected midnight morning of the 16th (UTC−05:00) or whenever I wake up after that.

  6. The winner will receive 175 Dreamwidth Points, enough to purchase a paid account for 6 months! Not a premium one, a regular paid one.

  7. I will contact the winner first, and if they say they don't want it then I'll randomly select someone else.

  8. Only members and subscribers are eligible.



Good luck and have fun! Here's the post template for this week's challenge, if you like.

Challenge: I Can't Believe It's Not VKei!

Warnings: Flashing lights



Comment: Alright I know I said I was gonna post Mis'Sophonia, but this video popped up in my YouTube recs and my thought process was like:
-That guy's makeup looks a little cosplay-ish, but I suppose that happens sometimes.
-HOLY SHIT IS THAT MORE THAN ONE WOMAN???????????????????????
-This is kind of an unusual singing style for vkei but I'm listening
-Wait where are the instrumentalists
-WAIT. WAIT THIS IS AN IDOL GROUP

So yeah, I can't believe it's not vkei!™
