Intro!!

Hello! I made my account 1 or 2 days ago and realized that I never even introduced myself…

I am Aleksei, a minor from USA! I enjoy Vkei music, especially ero guro, menhera, iryou but others also! I only joined the scene in 2023, so I will ask stupid questions.

I will be somewhat active here (somewhat being a key word) so I would love to talk whenever possible! Thank you for making this community!

welcome, welcome!

there are no stupid questions in my book, so please, never hesitate to ask :–) we also have a discord server if you’re ever so inclined to join <3 i know that helps some people be more active than not.

what are some of your favorite bands? i can see you like yoshiatsu’s works hehe

Welcome! It’s good to see young people getting into VK!

There’s nothing of the sort! Feel free to ask whatever :slight_smile:

Thank you so much! Yes I do, DADAROMA was not my first vkei band, but one that stuck with me as my favorite. I also like gulu gulu, kaneto-juusei, and mama off the top of my mind. My first band was surprisingly Mathilda (I can’t find the kanji stylization right now, as thats how it isb styled). They are kirakira and iryou kei! They are not very popular either. I do not dislike anything, to be honest <33

Thank you so much! I definitely like when people my age join too (my friend whos a grade above me is who introduced me), because I feel like the majority of the community is older :cry:

WELCOOOOOOOOOME
Make yourself comfortable, take them shoes off and feel at home.

Shoot your questions out, we are ready.

I think a lot of the youngin’s seem to prefer hanging out on Twitter, than here with us

yes, mathilda (マチルダ) is spelled with katakana! how surprising for a first band, i love it. though i do realize the newcomer first bands package is so different now, hehe! i don’t dislike much of anything either, it is very beneficial to have such an outlook when getting into visual kei, in my opinion :–)

Yah, I have some vkeitwt moots, but I am not gonna associate my twt account with this one for other reasons. Both very good communities!

YES! I actually found it from one of my moots on twitter (on an acc im not active on anymore, I have another but I dont like talking abt my twt outside of twt). They said #kawaii matched my account layout <33 I didnt branch out into other bands until alot later tho bc one of my friends at school told me about Malice Mizer, BUCK-TICK and the like

Hi hi! Welcome!
Please don’t be afraid to ask for knowledge and advice on here, that’s what the community is for!

Also nice bands! We have some in common! (Gulu, KnJ, tiny bit of Dada)
I’m personally into a whole lot, but I have a soft spot for Kirakira-kei and Wafuu-kei visuals. Music I can enjoy most genres, and for me is also the most important (hence the broad spectrum of visuals I have in my band list)

I’m already 22, so maybe a bit too old for your preferences for friendships, but you’re always free to shoot me a DM!

Not too old at all! I know that my age is a very miniscule minority in the comminuty, and I’m not uncomfortable with it at all! I also enjoy Kirakira, and I do not know very much Wafuu but I like what I know :smiley:

I guess so. I am myself an old fart. :frowning: It’s so refreshing to have new blood around!

Please try some kotekei, and when you have, let me know how you like it :wink:
