Soft visual kei is a vaguely defined sub-genre of visual kei (a type of Japanese music). Instead of elaborate costumes, the bands wear clothing "off the rack" and have simple, natural makeup. It is what people tend to think of when they think of mainstream or major visual kei, but it is very different from typical visual kei. The most important aspect of the music is the melody. The style pretty much died around the year 2000, when visual went back to having an independent focus. Sometimes shortened to "Sofubi."
Bands include Siam Shade, Glay, Sophia, Janne Da Arc. Contrasts with kote kei.

Calling "soft visual kei" bands a form of "visual kei" seems to be a marketing move more than anything; they don't have the same dark focus or elaborate costumes of other bands.

parent: My child is incredibly smart but also incredibly talented. I think I'll have her audition to attend Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts instead of paying my retirement to send her to Hockaday or settling for a crappy apartment to send her to Highland Park!

Get the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts mug.Fucked-up visual novel by Clockup. Clockup makes a lot of fucked up torture porn visual novels, but this one is the most well-known and infamous. It also has an anime adaptation, though with less emphasis on the plot and more emphasis on the rape scenes.
The protagonist (if we can call him that) wakes up in a white room with six other women, with almost no means of escape except for one. He plays the role as the "key", while the other women are the "keyholes." In order to escape, he must rape each of the girls in a specific way. Refusal to play the game leads to death via electric chair (it's not pretty, trust us).
This game is NOT for the faint of heart or those with a weak stomach. Lots of rape, lots of scat, and one of the characters looks like a prepubescent kid. It's as fucked up as you can get.

Get the euphoria (visual novel) mug.A relatively young magnet school where students choose a different art as a "major" and take classes in it. Students are collectively labeled and referred to by their major, each of which is characterized by a different set of traits and stereotypes. The eight art majors are: Visual Art, Dance, Drama, Piano, Classical Guitar, Orchestra, Music Production and Chorus.
The students of the school are generally known to the students of every other ("normal") high school in the county as emos, smokers, pot heads, and all-together weird. Weaver students often use their school as a an explanation of their own erratic behavior, as in "It's okay, I go to Weaver..." The student body has a reputation for being liberal, although it is home to surprisingly passionate group of intolerant right-wingers.
The school also has a tradition of employing a ridiculous mix of faculty that range from hopelessly passive to scarily bipolar.
It has also been remarked that the school and its inhabitants deserve their own reality television show, preferably on MTV as a Laguna Beach-esque spin off. This belief is based largely on the school's unbelievably high penchant for drama. Certain guys have been known to date every female in any particular major. Girls are fond of having "lesbain" phases, in other words, getting drunk-ish and making out with another girl, bragging about it, and then continuing to date in a heterosexual manner. Oh yeah, and then there was that time when one of the teachers was arrested for having sex with a student. And everybody knew about it.
