Heyyy my name’s Val(entine), I’m 18 and I’m from the UK.
I’ve been listening to vkei on and off for around 6 years, with my first vkei band being Nightmare (introduced through the Death Note intro haha). I’m just now starting to delve more into the people behind it and branch out further into vkei. I speak English and a decent level of German as well as beginner Spanish, I’m hoping to study languages + translation when I go to uni next year, taking German as a language post A-Level and picking up Japanese at a beginner level. I have a huge interest in languages as a whole and really enjoy learning them, I can’t really ever see myself not trying to learn a new language. I also have a great love for fashion (kind of adds up considering I am here talking about vkei I guess) and dress fairly “alternative” (I kind of hate that word) - I have been for most of my life now, so I like a lot of vkei bands as style icons and inspo as well as musicians.
My current favourite vkei bands/artist are:
Malice Mizer (and a lot of their respective solo work and work outside of MM - particularly Közi’s)
Versailles (+ Kamijo’s solo work - I want to get more into Lareine and Hizaki’s work as well)
Nightmare
Kaya
Madmans Esprit
Exist Trace
Sorry for the ramble haha :]
(I went down this rabbit hole this year and didn‘t get out of it yet.)
