About
Welcome to Visual KEIOS
Launched in June 2010, Visual KEIOS was founded by Alicia R. Thomas, a Japanese music fanatic on a mission to share knowledge and show appreciation for Japanese Rock, and especially the very diverse music scene known as Visual Kei.
With the assistance of a dedicated staff, what began as a news blog soon evolved into a full web magazine where it is our goal to continually support and promote all things new, exciting and spectacular in the world of Visual Kei and Japanese Rock. We strive to highlight all aspects of the scene, from the musicians themselves, to the spirited fan community, and the people who have gone to great lengths to promote Visual Kei and Japanese Rock across the world.
Alongside our weekly news updates every Sunday, we are devoted to bringing you in-depth interviews, detailed articles ranging from events coverage to reviews of noted releases, galleries of fan-works and live photos, prize giveaways and much more!
In addition to our web magazine, we are proud to be the North American management and promotion company for Japanese Future Glamour Rock’n'Roll artist, tezya.
