@@maffieduran fun fact: tatu weren’t actually lesbians; it was just a “rebellious” marketing tactic. One of them had a boyfriend, and I heard somewhere that the other was homophobic (take that with a grain of salt though).
@@suzupremacy It's no big news that they're not lesbians though... This has been stated first in 2003 iirc and then when they broke contract with their producer (which was a creep) they made it clear that they were not lesbians, just making music for lesbians. They had this whole act going on as part of the music project but obviously had personal lives outside work. None of this was kept a secret, they even have a videoclip where Yulia is pregnant. It's true that Yulia's homophobic though - she has said some pretty bad things in interviews (that was after the breakup). They pretty much can't get along anymore
i wasn't expecting their first song to be named fucking yaoi and felt lightheaded after reconfirming it was, in fact named yaoi im on the verge of fainting thats given me a feeling i cannot even describe genuinely
Holy shit, I can't believe this is part of my country's history and I had no idea. To give you some more context, the song Karen Fox is singing at the end with a friend is Mujer Amante by the band Rata Blanca, and it looks like they're at the entrance of the Lola Membrives theater here in Buenos Aires
that's how we pronounce the letter 'y' in buenos aires lol, i remember the 'glam visual' gesture they did was an inside joke between all the local vk enjoyers, i never knew a single person who didn't make fun of these guys
It's funny (a little sad actually) how Sada's solo music is way better and you can tell he cares for the genre (even though he was stuck in the 90s). He had a better fashion sense too. Like, things would have turned out completely different if he stumbled upon a bunch of normal Vkei fans instead of Karen's crazy ass. I wonder what their relationship was really like.
This was too much even for us, argentinians vkei fans back then... also Karen got to be on a famous mv by Gustavo Cerati (ex Soda Stereo - HUGE rock latam band-) so he got quite cocky about that. both of them were huge jerks irl. trivia fact: Sada was known as Shiki before Romantica in the argentinean vkei fandom
honestly some songs are decent when it comes to instrumentals, there are some bangers in there! but uh....the singing and mixing ruins it 😭😭 i want them to be remade someday with people who actually know what theyre doing
I knew them personally. And friends of them. They wanted to be famous, and now they are haha. That last guy taking ice cream is called Martin RIOT and he was my IRL friend haha.
Tremendo haber sido amigo de músicos tan reconocidos JAJAJAJA. Eran tan forros como algunos dicen? Escuché que tenían una actitud muy mierda a veces...
Ah, yeah. Visual kei was a huge thing here in Chile and Argentina. I remember going to this type of screening parties where they showed japanese visual kei music videos and there were tribute band sometimes too. Never knew about Romantica tho. I wouldn't be surprised if they had chilean fans hahaha
I listened to Yaoi like 15 years ago and completely forgot about this disaster of a band. Years passed and I thought I was a happy man: I now have a stable job, decent income, a big group of friends, mum's still alive and we get along... and then you had to make this video and RUclips had to recommend it to me, you just HAD to. I'm sending my next therapy bill to your PO box mate.
A 37-minute video about Romantica? I'd never expected someone to dedicate so much time to this meme band. Also, if you are interested in discussing occidental visual kei bands, I recommend you check Tenshi no Yume from Mexico. They weren't so amateurish as Romantica, in fact, They were competent musicians, but is interesting that a Visual Kei band existed in Mexico in the first place.
on behalf of my country, I am so so so sorry for this... A point I need to clarify: in Cara de Angel, the phrase about horns, it's an argentinian slang. "to have horns" means that you have been cheated by your partner. So, the girl in the song cheated on him. No, I don't know why we have this phrase, but it had way more sense than Karen's guts for singing. God, this might be the first memory of something that I really wanted to forget. It was way too bizarre back then too.
@@brifyjek that's amazing! I didn't know, I wonder if we learned that slang from your country! Btw thank you so much for the tango music while documenting the band 🙇🏼♀️
If the vocals weren't like that, maybe the music wouldn't sound all bad, the instrumental is mostly okay tho... In my opinion... I've heared worse tbh edit: nvm, I head Lady Oscar
What we learnt here: Not studying music and going 100% on your emotions and instincts to make your career can be both awesome (Mana-sama) or terribly awful (Karen), no inbetweens
Lady Oscar would sound better if it was cogesive. I still find it weirdly endearing, probably bc my brain tries its best to autocorrect the notes and timing and that's fun.
This just unlocked memories from my youth. Me and some old folks were big vkei fans (still am) and hearing Action in California made me laugh, loud, like a key of remembrance just turned kkkkk Thank you for that and cheers from Brasil!
me, opening the video: "oh, i mean, they are musically bad i guess, but surely there can't be anything wild going o-" "Any instance of a swastika will be covered in a smiley" "I MUST LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE GUY *N O W* "
Jokes aside, Karen Fox's vocals are impossible to be recovered, but the music has this "punk registered with an ipad that has been doused in salt water" vibe that I am really digging, clearly a lot of the bad comes from subpar recording and mixing and thus could be salvaged
maria cross is unironically my hero, hes just. he exists, alright!! the stuff is harder to track down since he has like 15 names under stuff and LOVES using insane amounts of kanji. like we know him as Maria Cross, but hes also known as Megami Maria, Maria-sama, MARIA, etc... i think he's married? his wife is nice from what ive heard. and ive heard hes either nice or mean...
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I remember hearing about them in some obscure corner of the internet when I was a teenager many many years ago but I completely forgot about their name
The song they sing in the min 34:00 its an interpretation of Rata Blanca 's hit "Mujer Amante", one of the greatest and famous metal bands from Argentina, its more like power metal, so if u want to add some intercultural knowledge, i highly recomend taking a look to it, also "La leyenda del hada y el mago" and "Aun estas en mis sueños" are their top songs.
I personally have been re-discovering Vkei music lately and have been out of the loop for the past 10 years. So i had not heard about them before and would love to see more video's like this.
Being someone who speaks spanish, I am glad I am able to understand the wonderfully awful lyrics. The last one was particulary hilarious and could easily pass as comedy
Hey Dont be afraid to listen to low budget with very few releases Thats where the best Visual kei is and thats what true visual kei enjoyers mostly consume.
as argentinian myself i'm not surprise by them omg, it's the first time i hear something about them, ACTION EN CALIFORNIA n YAOI A RE ATROCIOUS 😭 they were truly the definition of ''5 dollars and a dream''
lol, yeah this band sucks, the instrumentation and vocals are both soooo bad. I love how you had to hold yourself back from laughing at the website info.
Never heard of them, and I'm from Argentina (but I don't live in bsas). good video fam. PD: Most of the songs are badly mixed, and artistically, it feels way edgy than expected.
Sei lá eu senti um misto de sentimentos ao terminar de ver esse video. O primeiro foi de alegria, porque fiquei feliz que Karen conseguiu seguir seus próprios ideais e objetivos até o final(por mais tortos e ruims que sejam) sem importar com a opinião alheia não tendo medo e nem vergonha de si mesmo. O segundo foi de tristeza, tristeza por Sada não ter conseguido evoluir como artista de VK que deveria ter acontecido, ele tem talento pro instrumental se ele tivesse conhecido pessoas que se importavam com mesmo objetivo e propósito que ele certamente ele teria se tornado um bom músico. O terceiro foi de Esperança, Esperança porque se esses dois malucos principalmente o karen conseguiram virar músicos (por mais ruims que sejam) eu também posso.
When you said that Karen liked David Icke I had to put my phone down and punch my bed 😭 I can't believe that anyone actually believes that that bullshit it's absolutely crazy
I didnt knew about this band, and im goth and from Argentina, it has some fearcult influences, they had a lot of potential, also the fact that they where so into the world of mistery and ufology makes them more interesting, i will look for them to see where they are now. Also, about the nazi stuff, i dont excuse them, but i understand how much hate and injustice they must have live in the Argentina of 2000s, being different its not easy for a young kid, they surely were confused about certain things..
I haven't even seen the video yet but Brifyjek has already convinced me Argentina is the greatest country in the world... And that Romantica is the worst
Thank you so much for making this video on one of my favorite bands. Though something I would like to know is. Are they really Neo-Ns? Karen does have some evidence of this due to the conspiracy stuff you mentioned. Also that photo of Peron flashing in their video was sus to me. But funny enough I can ""excuse"" the memorabilia they wore as that actually was a thing a number of Japanese bands did back in the day. I can remember off the top of my head LUNA SEA did it, i think Sugizo straight up wore a SS cap with the totenkopf and everything in the Rosier MV. Also X Japan has used some Nazi-like imagery, like on their album cover for "Blue Blood" which Karen mentioned in their massive list of favorites. I could believe they were edgelords and the imagery was used for shock value since I don't sense Nazi values leaking into their music. (Of course I may be wrong, that's just a theory, A MUSIC THEORY.)
Some vkei bands did use Nazi imagery at one point or another, but (with a few exceptions) it was a rather one-off thing. It was usually a result of edginess, unawareness, or just ignorance. And, from what I've seen, it was mostly limited to wearing Nazi-like uniforms. Romantica was so consistent with their references to Nazis and conspiracy stuff, I find it pretty believable that they did hold some Nazi-like views. The values don't really need to leak into the music. Burzum, for example. The guy behind it is a Nazi, yet his music has always been apolitical. Also, someone who's a Nazi for the sake of being edgy is still a Nazi to me, just even dumber.
Thanks for your thoughts! REAL. Why'd you have to remind me of Varg tho ; _ ; (jk) that guy's a real loser. Hope to see more funny band vids from you sometime!
@brifyjek OH and i almost forgot, yeah it wouldn't be surprising if they were. It certainly isn't the first time I've seen weebs go down the fascist pipeline. But like you said at the end of the video, I hope it was something they could grow out of.
bruh i came across this by pure coincidence while watching a vk video. that grown ass man, so called karen, threatened to beat me up just because i said i didnt like his music in a message board, i was a barely 18 year old girl. sadly i dont have the screenshot as it was a long time ago as u can imagine. shortly after the threat i ran into him when i was on my own one night and i think he didn't recognize me or maybe he was all talk and no trousers. plus i didnt remember they being nazi wtf
@@brifyjek forgot to add he wasn't sending a beat threat to some random username, he knew that I was a young girl bc he messaged me privately on myspace and i had pictures of me and shit. when I saw him he was dressed like the last part of the video and he's like 2m tall so I felt a little scared ngl, but tbh they were the laugh of all local vk fans, nobody respected them or saw them as artists as sad as it sounds, everyone thought they were cringe af
well they had the look.. but not the sound I mean they obviously studied lots of 90's visual kie bands but they must have played the music with no sound lol

JAJA as a Argentinian i didn't know this band!! great videoo!
This was an amazing find. Thank you for showing us this trainwreck, I love it.
