Kagerou (1999-2006)
Characterized by their melancholic themes and lowkey visual style, it’s easy to say Kagerou was one of the bands that spearheaded the transition of visual kei sound from punk/alt to a melodic tune in the early 2000s.
Merry Go Round (1991-2004)
When talking about influential bands I HAVE to talk about Merigo. Why? Because no one else does.
The Godfather bands of the Nagoya Kei subgenre and have been cited as influences for other popular acts like Dir en grey, Kiyoharu etc.
