heyo!! im really interested in the Neo Visual Kei era right now and listen to a lot of bands from that time, so i thought it would be cool to know what bands others like from that time period / what people listened to or just some cool underrated bands from that time personally, i really like Alice Nine and An Cafe, but those are pretty known bands, so i would also like to hear about more niche bands in the scene 🙂 ---

Neo Visual Kei is kinda a disputed term… What kind of music would you like to hear on from what time frame? ---

Off the top of my head, most of these are pretty well known, others not so much: baroque Alibi RIMO with SAVANA P.K. ORCHESTRA Megamasso Ayabie Aicle CANZEL Lolita23q Assuming you’re into pop rock-ish stuff there should be plenty there for you to dig into ---

> [@BulkerCB](#): > > personally, i really like Alice Nine and An Cafe, but those are pretty known bands alice nine mentioned 😭 going by the same PSC label, have you heard of Kra? I mean I know a grand total of one song from them but maybe you’d enjoy that sound! I think to myself that you might also like Charlotte. Barely mentioned now (why…) but very important band of this time as well I think. RIP Kazuno [![](https://forum.jrockone.com/uploads/default/original/3X/b/b/bb7997ef24c5a55062b4e3a0076f1c1ddf24cd00.jpeg "[PV] Charlotte / しゃるろっと - Yokohama Love Story") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so26s2cHtug) I wonder if xtripx can be considered oshare or something, but I really like whatever Yoshito does.

Maybe you might like them too.

There’s one more I can’t recall.
