Dark Wave... Japanese Gothic Metal music
A while back I bookmarked a video of a Japanese metal band called Yousei Teikoku and I again listened to it tonight. Their genre is a cross over of Gothic Metal, Dark Wave and Symphonic Metal.Having seen a few Japanese performers, they are unlike American Metal artists who appear noisy and sloppy. The Japanese players are fast, precise and very articulated.
Mostly sung in Japanese, a few videos have some phrases in English.
Always tastefully done with the set, filming, lighting, props, clothing and instruments. It's something I would listen to again.
I followed a few of their social media and website links, but there isn't too much to be found. Nearly all of it is in Japanese.

The opening song melody reminds me of the song Black Velvet by Alannah Myles
They muster up lots of audience participation shouting the lyrics.
