JROCK NEWS 5th anniversary: Special message from Vkei Oyaji, Seiichi Hoshiko

We have been blessed today with a couple of words from the uncle figure of visual kei, endearingly known to us as “Vkei Oyaji”, Seiichi Hoshiko.

If you’re a hardcore fan for this Japanese rock subculture, he is the man who coined the term “Visual Kei” so we’re very excited as he is one of the reasons as to why JROCK NEWS exists. He’s an absolute legend who has worked with artists such as X Japan and INORAN as well as being the founder of the popular visual kei magazine SHOXX, and club Zy.!

Let’s hear what our uncle has to say to our staff and readers!

Thank you, Hoshiko, for you for your work in visual kei and Japanese Rock.
