On this episode we’re joined by vocalist and long-time VK fan, Perrow, as we return from our mysteriously unannounced hiatus to focus on VK of the year 1990, and dive into bands like ZI:KILL, D'ERLANGER, BUCK-TICK, and many others. Be sure to listen to the end **exclusive reveal** (which is mostly kind of basically related to VK) at the end of the episode!!

March 24, 2021 Episode #1: "What is Visual Kei?" featuring Biopanda
On this episode we’re joined by RarezHut CEO Biopanda as we introduce the staff, and ambitiously attempt to define Visual Kei: we discuss what it means for a band to exist within the scene and how to identify them based on look and sound, and then delve into the industry and history of VK.
We also talk about getting our parents into VK, the relation of VK to anime, and namedrop a ton of things—all the while probably mispronouncing at least half of the things we talk about!
