J-METAL... Those are guys, really!
I'm on a YouTube journey this afternoon surfing some old bookmarks of Japanese musical groups. The style is Hard Rock Baroque inspired melodies set to (high-speed) shredding guitar licks aka J-METAL. Not your average boy-band!
This first selection is with the band JUPITER.
On lead guitar is Hizaki. He's the one in full costume that looks like he is on the way to a 17th century ball. His former band VERSAILLES, had 2nd guitarist Teru a few different members, but the same costumes and music. I'm not sure if the bassist is a woman, that would require some research. In both VERSAILLES and JUPITER Hizaki & Teru often play melodic duet solos as part of the show.
Very talented, very different!
