I’m pretty sure he’s just a feminine guy, judging by those feet lol
Not saying women can’t have feet like this, but I’ve seen enough bandmen feet (unwillingly mind you) to know it when I see it
Collarbone structure would be other way to tell
The drummer guy is actually a one-man band with a youtube channel full of Gazette covers and it’s pretty sick ngl, hope he shines his talents in this band
Huh, I thought the vocalist was a man from the photos, but those clean vocals read as a woman trying to sing like a man to me, so I don’t know what to think.
Could completely be a guy behind the vocals, it reminds me how I was wrong about my friend K from Day of Reckoning (even if the guttural voice def sounds manly).
Yeah, it sounds like a woman trying to imitate a man tone, like HYBRID-ZOMBIEZ’s one did, and their song Hologram was even more distrustful, but it can be overproduced there. My guess on he is a he, otherwise he wouldn’t pose with a open shirt lol
i added both male and female tags cuz i’ve never been so fucking confused
but she’s a Ruki cosplayer so that inclines me to think she’s wearing a binder for the ~masc~ look. plus the band is in a non-vk label with other female-led bands that i’ve never even heard of, so yeah her being female makes more sense.
I’m conflicted about this song – I love the beginning with the distorted-sounding raindrops and I like how detailed and careful the vocals are in the slower parts of the song (particularly the first verse). Their voice is quite pretty. However, this style of vocal is painfully consistent throughout the song (minus the few moments of screaming) which grates on you after a while. The instrumentals also become quite sparse and frustratingly slow and/or dull in quite a few parts. I do, however, thoroughly appreciate the bass in this.
So overall I’d say it’s nice and would definitely listen to it once in a while. It’s certainly encouraging as one of their first songs.
I’m not really sure what their gender has to do with anything at this point. It’s rude to speculate about someone’s gender no matter how many you believe to exist. The entire scene is powered by the visuals of androgynous men! This is the inverse of that, and I think it’s pretty cool.
Whether bio female or trans female, I’m happy to see more of that representation in visual kei. It’s a new element that can freshen up a stale sound. Vocals in that range can add a certain dynamic to music that I would like to see a band push and innovate on. Maybe that could be them?
Anyway, take the gender argument over to Twitter before Elon wipes his Musk all over the platform and then you can’t speak your mind freely anywhere.
