Product Description
Tokyo Rock Catwalk is the first English book ever to fully introduce the made-in-Japan youth culture of Visual Kei, a pop music movement characterized by eccentric, flamboyant looks, striking make-up, unusual hair styles and elaborate costumes. Stunning full-color pinup photos of Visual Kei bands, plus interviews with artists and loyal fans.

Lovely book, misleading description. September 3, 2008
Though, I am happy with my purchase, the description is quite misleading.
The description picture shows 2 ex. members of Phantasmagoria, and you are lead to believe this is the cover of the book, and will feature this band inside, when in fact,it doesn't. This is simply a stock photo and not the actual cover, nor will you find Phantasmagoria within its pages.
This was only somewhat dissapointing.
The description also says that this book feature interviews--plural--with bands and loyal fans. It only contains one of each, and really aren't interviews at all. They're small descriptions of how and why they play into the scene.
Other than that, the pictures are gorgeous, featuring 31 different bands you may not have heard of. Very few of them, I had alredy known. What I like about it, is that they tried (or seems so, could have been coincedence.) to choose bands that were somewhat different in style, so not all the bands featured look the same. It gives you an idea of the range in visual kei looks, and that it isn't all the same.
So, I was very pleased with this book, just a few adjustments need to be made to the description. I guess this is a small warning for those who expected the same as I did.
