Earlier this month, it was revealed that a Swedish “bishounen” (beautiful young boy) named “Yohio” will be making his debut in Japan this (northern) spring. Yohio currently plays for a Swedish visual kei band called “Seremedy”, and he became interested in Japan after getting into anime as a kid. Some of his heroes are Japanese Visual Kei musicians, like Gackt.
Visual kei (“visual style”) appeared in Japan in the 1980s and is marked by elaborate costumes and makeup.
While he might look like just a pretty face, the kid has talent. Check out Yohio shredding. His six-track “mini-debut” album drops Apr. 25.
