On May 25th, the pioneering Visual Kei band AURA officially confirmed the addition of guitarist Yuichiro Szk (鈴木友一朗) to their lineup.

This is vkgy's history of visual kei, covering its 1970s roots, its 1980s precursors, its start in 1990, and its evolution through 2025.

Every day, there are more and more visual kei bands on Spotify. Although it's great to have access to vkei on streaming services, it's increasingly difficult to keep track of what is available where. We hope that this page can help you find vkei music more easily.
