what's wrong with finding artists sexy? It's also perfectly possible to find someone sexy and enjoy and thoroughly appreciate their music in itself.

I mean also, let's get real here, v--kei has often put forward a sexy (often darkly sexy) image and played with the themes and visuals associated with sexual taboos (fetish imagery, bdsm etc). Not all v-kei artists of course but you only need to flick through some old issues of shoxx or fool's mate to see how much the visuals focus on sexiness and sensuality. Not to mention the vast majority of v-kei fans in Japan and abroad are swooning teenagers and young women, that's generally the target audience too.

I'm not completely a drooling letch though, I mean, certain groups like kagrra (rip isshi) I absolutely adored for their beautiful layered sounds and unique combining of rock with classical Japanese aesthetics. Miyako is a stunning album in it's own right, the visual theatre that accompanies the music just adds another layer to the experience.
