Best Answer

The names sound cool and you'd identify visual kei easily by the band name.

Also, the band names tend to mean something when they're in French. For example, L'arc En Ciel means 'the rainbow'. A band that was once hugely popular in the visual kei scene, Malice Mizer, often used French words for the titles of their songs.

Is bou of antic cafe a boy or a girl?

Well actually.. Bou of antic cafe is a guy... I don't know the reason why he dress himself up as a girl but hes really a guy... he's not a gay... It's just part of Visual Kei that thay do weird costumes..If ever you see cute/pretty visual kei bands well you might search about their players because most of the pretty visual kei artists are actually guys.. and they're not gays~First off, the answer above is extremely rude and offensive, and frankly it's stupid. The person who asked the question didn't ask whether Bou of Antic Cafe was gay or not, they simply asked if Bou was male or female.Bou of Antic Cafe is a male, to answer the question.He looks feminine because of his attire. Visual Kei outfits tend to be tight and extravagant, with make-up always present. Make-up makes Bou look more feminine, and the outfits add to that effect. He is also a petit man with a small bone structure, and he's thin and toned.To retort to the above answer, in Visual Kei, artists don't wear weird costumes. To you they might seem weird, but if you walked into Japan wearing baggy saggy jeans with a crooked baseball cap, you'd be more weird than the average Visual Kei artists seems to you. It's part of a look, a musical culture, and you have to respect that people are different. Secondly, as I said before, No One Asked if Bou was gay or not. How would you know in the first place? Has he ever told you this? And even if he was, would you have something against it? People can be whichever sexual orientation they want to be, because why do YOU care who THEY love? It's not your life. Get out of it.And Never, and I mean NEVER, say "so-and-so is not A Gay" ever again. That's rude, oppressing, disrespectful, and disgusting. Would you like it if I walked around saying "you're a straight" or "you're one of the straights" ? I'm fairly sure you'd hate it and you would feel low, oppressed, and spat-on. So don't say it. This also goes to anyone who would say this. Don't do it, ever.
