This must've been his Visual Kei phase or something. Visual Kei? fuck off, you prat. I'm kidding, if this is VK then the Stalin were fucking SPAM. Actually it reminds me a bit of Yamagata, but I didn't notice that before. Not visual kei. Fucking not visual kei. Weird prince like funk or something. Mum...yea...Michiro's goal was to make it in to the mainstream and really fuck things up on a huge scale through out japan's music scene. So he did adopt a sort of Visual Kei look during the middle part of his career unlike the begging with The Stalin. It didn't work through. Hehe. Sex. Yea really. He was quoted saying that before. And all Visual Kei really was just copying flamboyant new-wave artists and adding their own twist. And I doubt a man that's thrown fish heads in to a crowd, shit on stage and run around in his undies is going to be embarrassed about dressing like that. Most of his career was based on being a sill arse. I think people are going to disagree with you saying most of his career was based on being a "silly arse". I still disagree that it is visual kei. It was even before all that crap came about. The Stalin era - Amazing. Michiro new wave pop era - OK at best. 志村けんにも似てるよね。 怖い It's similar to Shimura Ken. Scary
