What's with hairstyles?

Lately, I've been watching too much hair tutorials on Youtube since I was planning to get a haircut. At first, I planned to maintain my original hairstyle. Watching the videos made me feel that I should kind of alter my style and at the same time, maintain my hair length. So, I've decided to look upon different hairstyles that most Asians do. I think that having a layered hair should have more volume and be defined with style (that's the spikes).

I checked out the Japanese bands that I adore (namely, An Cafe and others), thinking that I could get some sort of styles since they are visual kei. I realized that I adored Hiroto of Alice Nine and Miku of An Cafe's hairstyles. They're freakin' awesome. The sweet part, when you decided to go for that visual kei look, it's unisex. So, you won't bother looking for a feminine hairstyle.

Not only the hairstyles, but also their make-up and clothes. I'm getting hooked. It's like I want to fill my closet like the ones that they're wear. Sex Pot Revenge is too expensive. So, I need to push through the business that I've thought. Looking at this video below, for example, I so badly want their clothes, especially Bou's.

An Cafe - Wagamama Koushinkyouku(Bou, the girl-look alike, is not in this band anymore.)
Bou, you are my inspiration. You have awaken my senses.
LOL.

Addiction: An Cafe

Ever heard a band named "An Cafe"? It sound weird, right? Actually, it's a Japanese pop/rock band that is labeled independently on Loop Ash. They've been described as oshare kei band, a subset of visual kei.


Yes, they're An Cafe.
Kanon, Yuuki, Miku, Takuya, and Teruki

An Cafe is a short term for Antique Cafe.
It was formed on 2003 with Kanon, Miku and Bou as the founding members later joined by Teruki after leaving his former band, Feathers-Blue. But, Bou disbanded and thus, Takuya and Teruki were officially announced that they were the two new members where An Cafe would take their overseas tour in Europe on 2008.

They produce good pop and rock music culture. It seems like its an anime original soundtrack but it is not. Behold the wonders of Japanese rock. I really do hope that An Cafe can share their music here in the Philippines.
