V-kei isn't one genre of music though; Most bands fall under rock but there have been techno and pop based acts. For a while music label or simply visual styling defined them more than the music. X-Japan was practically hair metal, Dir En Grey is def not hair metal not was Plastic Tree and if you compare them to Malice Mizer the stylistic components of music and visuals is even further apart. You can however link many aesthetics to either the international metal or goth scene in terms of composition, style and even who they have toured with. It seems odd that someone can't see or hear differences.
