GPKism




Então, GPKism é uma dupla meio recente formada pelo "Ken" (vocalista) e pelo "Kiwamu" (Guitarrista, membro da banda ""BLOOD"), ao que se parece eles possuem o estilo mais "Drag Music" meio parecido com o Schwarz Stein:
"Schwarz Stein"

que também era uma dupla com o estilo músical bem diferente, musical e visual por assim dizer!
Em meu mundo, com o término do Schwarz Stein, passei à acompanhar a carreira solo do Vocalista, o Kaya:
"Kaya- Chocolat"

"Kaya - Kugutsu"


Sou fã assumida dele, e adoro o estilo, acho que isso me influenciou com o meu gostar para o GPKism.
Indo mais à fundo...
"GPKISM, a band trying to combine old and new. The atmosphere and composing style of the baroque era meets the modern Industrial sound.

The two creating this new world are the Australian Musician GPK, who started the Band as his Solo project 2007 and the Japanese Artist Kiwamu.

For both it's not the 1st band.

Kiwamu's Band BLOOD was one of the first bands that left their home country Japan to show the world their style. The band developed over the time and after tours all over the world and is now more home in the Industrial scene than in the former Visual Kei one.

GPK, short for Gothique Prince Ken, could be described as multiartist, not just proving his skill as musician like in the band Flood of Rain, where he co-compose, write the lyrics and sing as well and which main focus are emotions, but in many arts.


The international band released one Single and one Mini-Album over Kiwamu's Label Darkest Labyrinth, concerts in April and June in their home countries follow.

The philosophy of the band is simple, bringing back beauty and elegance and make people happy!


(I wish to bring happiness to the people, wish to change the world a bit. If you just try to be there and help five of your friends, without expecting something in return, and they do the same to 5 of their friends, we would have a better world, I live it, cause so everyone can be happy, not just one.) GPK "

Para ouvir:


Bem, espero que gostem, que ouçam, sei que é bem dificil aceitar o visual dos vocalistas, tanto do Kaya, como do Ken, pois pela opção de se "Travestirem" muitos não gostam e nem escutam a música por isso, então, vamos fechar os olhos?!
Embora, eles consigam fazer coisas até então, impossíveis com os visuais, e o que eu acho muito bom também!
Beijos!
