They try too hard to copy the Japanese IMO and they just don’t have the hard edge you get from Visual Kei or similar.

I suspect the language also has something to do with it, like how darker metal genres are really suited to German and similar languages.

I hope so, as you say they’re doing some really cool stuff, especially with integrating local musical traditions into modern genres.
