X Japan. they are the ones who started visual key stuff ( i think). their stuff are awesome too ^^
Miyavi is awesome but he is not visual key, like he said it he was influenced by it hm you have dir en grey i also like Luna sea but i think they are just rock,not really visual key lol here are some Jrock bands (not all are visual key) : glay,L'Arc~en~Ciel, Versailles, Gackt (one of my fav <3),SUG (id say they are more pop lol), an cafe (more popish as well), plastic tree, D'espairs Ray, Exist trace,..... Im personally a huge fan of Miyavi, gackt, X Japan and Luna sea... Im too lazy to check other bands bcoz they are way too many bands in japan -------------------- I support Park Jaebeom

one that hasn't been mentioned yet: girugamesh.
dark, heavy, melodic, and the slower songs/ballads are just...T_T fell in love with Satoshi's voice I think I started with having betrayed is why then Owari to Mirai? most of their stuff are really good anyway. --------------------  ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ "semi-hiatus" |

Deluhi
D'espairs ray SID ( they are not really visual kei anymore) Malice Mizer was also a good band. Mind you they are different from bands like alice nine and Gazette. --------------------  悪魔で執事ですから。 |

It really depends on your taste. Could you be more specific as in what music genres you like?

Visual Kei:
12012 D'espairs ray Phantasmagoria Girugamesh Panic Channel Dir en grey everything everyone's already mentioned If you're more into oshare kei (the light happy stuff), then check out: An Cafe Duel Jewel Charlotte Lolita23q Shelly Trip Realize/TINC (disbanded, but their songs are so much fun) Aile PANIC*ch (Panic Channel's oshare alter ego) I suggest looking around Youtube for pvs if you haven't already. Definitely a big help and introduced me to a lot of good bands. Anybody know anyother good places to find pvs/info? --------------------  |

Uhm. The GazettE is my favorite but you've already heard of that one so...
Definitely listen to Girugamesh. They're my second favorite. Also, SuG, Lolit23q, An Cafe, Phantasmagoria(disbanded), Rentrer en Soi(disbanded), Dir en Grey, Ayabie, Nightmare. Rentrer en Soi has been disbanded but they have a few good songs out there~ -------------------- |

Could you be more specific as in what music genres you like? hmmm well it really doesnt matter. i mean, i guess i have a really diverse taste in music. visual kei is kinda new for me though, so i'm really just trying to find the main bands, what other ppl like listening to, etc. does that make sense?

^ as in what's currently popular? (since X and Malice Mizer are like super old school. XD)
I'd go find scans of the vkei magazines like Shoxx, Cure, H'evn and check out the bigger articles since those are usually on the more popular/major label bands. haha, and to add to all the suggestions, Plastic Tree. although they;re not that visual now. ;D and Psycho le Cemu, but they "disbanded" a couple years ago. -------------------- |

Imitation PoPs Uchuu Sentai NOIZ is the best of the best.
I don't know whether to call them Visual or Oshare kei, though
