Tag: 🎵 和風系 (Wafuu Kei)

In Japanese “和風” (Wafuu) stands for “Japanese style” or “Japanese way”, meaning this genre has a lot of Japanese influence that returns both in their visual performance (through wearing a 着物 (kimono) and 帯 (obi)) and their lyrics (which often contain stories about Japanese myths and folklore).
Unlike other genres 和風系 (Wafuu Kei) often has more grandiose lyrics, and make use of Japanese instruments like 三味線 (Shamisen) and 箏 (Koto) and Japanese chord progressions while mixing in a more Western-inspired ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) sound.
