Kane to Juusei (鐘ト銃声) is an active visual kei band. They are part of the menhera kei, shironuri kei, and Showa kayou kei subgenres. They have been active since 2019.
This band isn't Showa Kayou at all and I feel like the people tagging this band as such do not know what the term means.
Showa Kayou is the pop music that was made when Emperor Showa was in power, it's any pop music made between 1926 and 1989. It is not necessarily "militaristic", and most people in Japan who listen to Showa Kayou, mainly listen to ballad stuff. It's essentially "Old People Music" in Japan. Even then, Kane to Juusei doesn't even sound anything like the actual militaristic stuff, they're wearing Militaristic uniforms but their sound is 2000s Kote-Kei, not Showa Kayou
Here's a compilation of actual Showa Kayou, none of which sounds like KTJ \
Aren't their uniforms not even Showa nor military, but more evocative of the Taisho era 詰襟 (tsumeeri) or 学蘭 (gakuran) style school uniforms that were an evolution of military uniforms?
being a kaneto juusei fan is lowkey isolating cuz i feel like my friends will strike me down if they heard what i was tryna recommend to them </3
(but idgaf i love them so much what does it even matter (^∇^)!! )
I wonder if uru and eishin are gonna pull an I and rito and js do their own thing together, well they may need some other members lmao but hearing uru do vocals would be so fun! His cover of ringo juice was so nice
Never have I ever been so sad to see members leave a group like this 😢. uru is my favorite person in the vkei scene rn and I hope I'm able to support him in whatever he goes on to do next and same with eishin!!
I've been a huge fan since around the very start of 2021, i used to even exchange messages with Eishin on twitter T_T, im so happy to see them getitng so so so popular since their huge rise in 2022, they mean so much to me and i hope to see more people joining the fandom
I wouldn't count it as a name change. Visual bands use to do "secret lives" before officially starting activities to practice on stage a little and get familiar with the songs live. So they would appear in event lineups with enigmatic band names and maybe leave hints for the trve fans who want to see them. suji
