Up untiljust now i didn't even knwo he was dead. I'm really out of the J-rock loop, I'm more into the pop-rock than the metal. And I might look into footage of that funeral.... hide wasn't metal. D:
And he's been dead for over eight years now...
Like I said, ou of the loop. I know absolutely nothing about the band, it's music or anything. I don't really like cosplaying bands in general cause their best points are the costumes, and my first and only impression of X-Japan was 10 minutes long and annoying after the first 5 xp
I'm not even talking about X.
I'm talking about hide.
He wasn't any "cosplaying" band.
BTW they're called Visual Kei.
It's only cosplay if you're actually dressing up after someone.
It's one of those things that annoy me, when people say cosplay,
especially when they talk about stuff like lolita or VK and say that it's something it's not.
Funny you should mention that: I am a cosplayer. I've met costume bands out of makeup (namely Psyco Le Cemu) and they're normal people. The makeup and outfits are just a fake image they uphold for the public.
Also, the only Keis and Lolitas and Fruits and such that I meet are at conventions and they only dress that way because they are in a convention invironment. If they dressed like that everyday, I wouldn't consider it cosplay. Cosplay reffers not specifically to characters, but to dressing up and going out into the world in a costume.
And if you were wondering, I mostly cosplay anime characters, but I once made a crappy rendition of Samurai Yukata Gackt -_-;;
I have plenty of friends that cosplay,
and they have all said at one point or another to other people,
that cosplay is something you do -after- someone else.
Therefore, they're not cosplaying, they're just dressing up,
that's all it is.
And I know some actual lolitas and fruits people.
Most of my friends dress in some manner or another all the time,
I included (unless I'm having a particularly shitty day).
I have my brand-name clothing people, like those that wear only SexPot or h.NAOTO or Btssb~
What I believe is if you only wear those clothings at certain times, it's just dressing up, nothing more, nothing less.
Cosplay is something I don't like to think of for the most part,
because when people talk about it, they're talking about dressing like anime characters,
and that's something I certainly don't want to be categorized with.
