You'd be wrong then. Visual Kei bands does not pertain to their race. The idea of Visual Kei is both the sound and appearance. And no, not all Japanese bands are Visual Kei. I see it as distasteful because I don't care for their music. Just because Tokio Hotel isn't Japanese doesn't mean that they can't attempt to be Visual Kei. And they most likely are. Their adrognyous dress and music are very much attempting to replicate Visual Kei music. Aside from the fact that they named their band after Tokyo. True, Japanese started Visual Kei. But. Visual Kei music isn't referring to them being Japanese.
