Analysis:
I don't have much introduction about the domestic visual department, so I will add it later. There are some Japanese:
A brief introduction to this visual department ~ ~ ~
L'arc-en-ciel, glay, luna sea, X- Japan ... Now the names of these bands are familiar to many friends who like Japanese pop. With the popularity of these bands in Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and even the vast inland areas of China, the word "video system" has quietly become popular. However, there are different opinions about what is a "visual system". But one thing is certain, that is, "visual system", as a unique cultural phenomenon, has influenced and promoted japanese pop's industry and become a unique landscape in japanese pop's industry. Here, let's discuss and trace the origin of "visual system" with you.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, there appeared "gorgeous rock" represented by david bowie. Gorgeous rock is characterized by gorgeous costumes and live performances, and the heavy makeup of the visual department is influenced by it. But the two are not the same thing. The visual system is not as good as punk. “r & amp； Nouns like "b" refer to a type of music, but they were born to symbolize the existence of a band.
Before the word "visual department" was widely used, people would use words like "makeup department" and "production department" to address such bands. There is no clear answer to the origin of this term. Many people think that X had the word "earthquake-related crime" (the name of HIDE) in the underground age, so this word was invented by X. However, it is also true that the famous journal Shoxx of earthquake-related department also put forward the word "earthquake-related department" when it was founded in 1990. It's about "Who is the originator of Japanese visual system?" The answer to this question is almost a unified date, which has been in the Japanese music industry for more than ten years and has an unchangeable supreme position in the Japanese music industry. Even if it is dissolved, countless fans still dream of it! Indeed, without X, there would be no visual system today, but looking back at the active bands at that time, there will be many new discoveries.
Looking back at the early Japanese rock circles, the oldest bands in Japan, such as BOOWY, BUCK TICK and D'ERLANGER, were all influenced by punk, hard rock, goth and blues in Europe and America at that time, and their music routes were diversified. Although they are not all called visual departments, they are all makeup schools (look at the young uncle in the bag and the uncle in the ice room at that time, they are really sweating ...). Of course, not to mention that X is influenced by KISS. It's like early Japanese rock seems to be closely related to makeup. In addition to the X of that year, there are color and Delangue (Ryokawa Ichiro and Kikuchi Zhe of kyo and craze) which have a far-reaching influence on the development of visual system. Especially "X" and "color". At that time, the two bands were separated from Kansai and Kanto. Although their musical styles are different, they are all characterized by excessive scenes and exaggerated modeling and makeup. It can be said that they are the embryonic form of Japanese Vision Rock today. Because their style was not accepted by the media at that time, in order to show their strong personality and independent musicality relative to the mainstream, the two bands set up their own Indies labels: "extasy records" set up by yoshiki of X (which promoted "Women's Toilet" and "Zi'kill" at that time) and "Free Will Records" set up by D.tommy of Color (which promoted decamelon and Billy & Slut, wait. And the popular dir en grey) they invest in themselves, and on this basis, they sell their own things to the outside world. This was undoubtedly a bold pioneering work at that time. With the help of these two underground signboards, the first generation of visual band was able to mobilize manpower and material resources to launch records by posters, leaflets, TV magazine advertisements and other corresponding propaganda means when the form of "band" was not favored by the media and the public at that time. The complete facilities and sold-out tickets for each concert also marked the success of these two underground signboards at that time. It can be said that without "existing records" and "free will records", there would be no prosperity and development of underground bands in the visual department today.
Color, D'erlanger, by-sexual, ladies room, Zi'kill, gamaitachi, aion, justy nasty, strawberry fields and other bands have not achieved the same career and glory as X in the music world, and many of them have almost disappeared now. But at that time, they established a new genre of "visual system", and lunasea (then lunacy) gradually brought the visual system to a new height, and presented a clearer development route, and bands that grew up under their influence gradually appeared. In the growing new force of the visual department, there are also many bands that explore and pursue musicality different from the past, so the visual department has entered a new starting period. At this time, the new representatives are l'arc en ciel, kuroyume and Three Eyes Jack. Today, India's famous "shock wave" also began in this period. At first, tickets for concerts that can accommodate thousands of people can be sold out. The opening ceremony of concerts from Myeong-Lu Hall to Japan Youth Hall and Shibuya Hall became the only way for all Indian bands to become popular, and it was also gradually formed during this period. With "extasy records" and "free will records" as giants, some small underground signboards and record stores have also started to operate, which undoubtedly gave new impetus to the visual department. The activities of Dark Dreams and Silver Roses in Nagoya also laid the foundation for the birth of new forces such as "Sleep Dear", "Laputa" and "Crazy Crisis" in Nagoya.
Soon X changed its name to X Japan and went overseas. At that time, their popularity had surpassed that of many mainstream musicians. At the same time, their third album "Dahlia" is also in production. Focusing on the trend of the focus band in the visual department and the continuous activities of lunasea, as well as the development of l'arc en ciel and kuroyume as new forces and the positive effects brought by the band specialty, the visual department has entered a period that is truly accepted and familiar by the public. In the increasingly hot performances of Shockwave and live house, it is not difficult to find a new generation of Vision Rock who will soon occupy an important position in Japanese music: glay, penicillin, shazna, the late pop star, vogue and Kanto malicemizer. Baise "..." ... Sophia, de=sire and La 'Cryma Christi in Kansai ... During this period, underground bands on the ground set off a whirlwind of competing for live all over the country, and the whole visual system showed an unprecedented active situation. Except for many professional bands, such as penicillin and Laputa, many bands set up their own independent labels in order to maintain their own music advocacy and independent production, instead of signing contracts with major record companies. For example, "Kreis" established by De=sire and "matina" established by kisaki of mirage are very famous. Underground, on the ground or with independent signs, each band is active in the Japanese music scene in its own way, and the influence of visual system in the Japanese music scene is more and more extensive and in-depth.
Shazner, Crazy Crisis, la'cryma christi and malice mizer In addition to these four major bands, the latest generation of young bands such as pierrot, d-shade, lastier, l'luvia, luca and janne da arc are also emerging. With the widespread use of TV media and the popularity of Glay and laruku, the social phenomenon caused by Shazner, the rare super-large concerts of Dir en grey, Glay, laruku and lunasea have just sold out in an instant, and they have gathered more than100000 fans ... The visual system is in full swing in Japan, and the corresponding band forms are also rampant all over the world. The department of vision, which was not favored by the mainstream at first, has been positively evaluated and appreciated by all sides.
In less than twenty years, Japanese visual culture has been formed. Nowadays, the influence of the department of vision in Japanese music is becoming more and more stable and powerful. Orthodox heavy metal band machine guns, as well as new Vision Rock, such as Raphael, Ramulai, pleur, kein and Blue-B, have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the history of visual system is still expanding. ...
Throughout its history, the world of Japanese visual system has been created so far, and great changes have taken place while it continues to develop. Looking back at X, who just debuted in the 1980s, their dressing styles are not feminine at all. Punk head, leather pants decorated with broken glass and metal sheets, stands high, and is totally the image of progressive rock youth spurned by the mainstream. However, with the development of visual system, the band's dress style tends to be Gothic. Gorgeous clothes, gorgeous colors, kabuki-like heavy makeup ... Dressed with the feminine beauty and black charm of the visual system, it almost completely broke away from the influence of the old western visual system style and established Japan's own unique style. Interestingly, many visual bands wear thick makeup to attract the attention of the outside world, but after they become famous, they will remove the thick powder from their faces and put on fashionable but not too gorgeous clothes to move closer to the mainstream. Old X, Laruku, Lunasi and Raphael are all the same. This is understandable in Japan, which is interested in commercial effects.
The same is true of the music of the visual department. At that time, no matter X of hard rock, color of punk, or D'ERLANGER under the influence of Gothic and New Wave, they all adhered to the music route of rock. Even lunasea and kuroyume were later developed. However, with the gradual acceptance and love of the visual system by the society, the music of emerging new bands is not limited to rock, but tends to be diversified. Shazner, Laclais Ma Christ, Raphael .................................................................................................................................................................. There are also many bands whose music styles in underground and aboveground periods can leap from alternative rock to mainstream pop, which is really great. This is also the result of commercial factors to a great extent, which may be a very disappointing thing for visual fans who like J rock. However, it did bring great commercial effects and promoted the popularity in Japan today. At the same time, it also shows that the visual department is not the representative of music type, but the label of a band.
Having said that, we can easily find that today's visual system has developed into a huge and complex thing. However, with the internal continuity and the expansion of personality, the visual department will continue to develop. We will discuss various topics related to TV and TV bands with the majority of TV fans here.
