characters appearing in Zetsubou Billy MV

[hollowman]

Hi guys!

Don't know if this is in the correct thread....

anyways, i would like to know who are the people appearing in the mentioned MV:

1) the visual kei band: Parfait, by unanimous decision
2) the rappers
3) the female guitarist
4) the female singer wearing yellow: Natsuko Tatsumi

i don't think they are the official members of Maximum right, the official members only appeared towards the 2nd half of the video....

Thanks

I got a very strong Shiina Ringo vibe for #3...

If you're not talking about the 2 guys playing guitars, does that mean you know who they're supposed to be? Share!~

I don't know who the exact actors are, just they are trying to parody a bunch of different Japanese musical cliches.

appreciate any help

I was wondering about the two girls actually too since both look remotely familiar (or just typically Asian I guess), but there's other people in that video too that I'm wondering if they're supposed to be anyone in particular.

But to answer your question, I do believe the only actual members of Maximum The Hormone are in the last half of the video (after the rest "die"), since the band is only 4 members and...well none of the other people in that video look like the rest of the band members.

yeah they only appeared towards the second half when the visual kei singer got his name written in the Death Note and 'died', haha.

the singer in yellow should be a parody of Misa....she looked different from the female guitarist and Nao. Nao has bigger arms.

even though there are random characters appearing in the MV, the song is sung/performed purely by the 4 members....

strange MV.....didnt know Maximum could get so metal in their music. The only previous work i'd heard from them was rolling1000toon, which was so much different.

really sorry for the double post, didn't know how to quote 2 posts.

sadly i don't know who the 2 folk-guitarists were...but Chage and Aska came to mind when i saw them, don't know why....haha

in the middle there was also a parody of Kira during his confinement and the Lind L. Tailor part, quite obvious.

overall, hideki's reply would be the most logical. maybe i'll try to understand the lyrics first to get some clues. interesting song

I thought I remembered someone saying awhile back that the visual kei band was either Parfait or Nightmare (I'm partial to thinking it's Parfait, though).

[=Surreal=]

I have heard that the female guitarist is called Amano Tsukiko 天野月子

(This information was acquired loooooong time ago in a youtube reply..... that post actually listed out all the people involved in the video....you guys can search for it. However, I have to remind you that the reply was from a long time ago, so you might have to spend some time on finding it)

What the--? The "characters" in the Zetsubou Billy video are the members of MAXIMUM THE HORMONE. Yes, that's the actual PV/MV that Konami are using and, no, the GF/DM version is *not* a cover!

Members:
Ryo Kawakita // Maximum the Ryo (マキシマムザ亮君, Makushimamu za Ryō-kun?) -- guitars, vocals
Daisuke Tsuda // Daisuke-han (ダイスケはん, Daisuke-han?) – vocals
Nao Kawakita // Nao (ナヲ, Nao?) – drums, vocals
Futoshi Uehara // Ue-chan (上ちゃん, Ue-chan?) – bass guitar, backing vocals

The cute little female during the middle (slow down) part is Nao (I can't believe she managed to look so cute haha ^^;.

So, in conclusion, the people in the PV are the four members of MAXIMUM THE HORMONE and not from other V-Kei groups like Nightmare, Parfait. And the female is definitely not Shiina -- though I understand how you can relate the two based on voice.

yeah i know that Konami used the original video, but the characters from the 1st half aren't the actual members, they just look different....all of them.

will take my time to search through youtube like =Surreal= mentioned. will update if i find any info

[hollowman]

a quick search on youtube produced some candidates for the VK band in the beginning:

Parfait
Nega
Moi Dix Mois
Nightmare (most prolly not cos there are 5 members in this band, the MV only has 4)

i'm too blind to spot any similarities between the above bands and the band in the MV, i think this is the closest and furthest i'm gonna go in finding out who they actually are....haha.

next is finding songs by the above bands, hear if they're good or not!!

[=Surreal=]

Guys, what do you think
Some video on Niconico says that she's the girl in the MV... (Tatsumi Natsuko)

Both has a sharp chin...and eyes looks similar and lips are about the same thickness....
and some other features that I don't know how to describe =.=
---------------------------------------

I think the visual band is Parfait
I remember the band in the video is a dismissed band
-------------------------------------------------

and HEY AERIYU~ See who's page I am on now XDXDXDXD

---------------------------------------------------
Well, whether she is or not, I am going to find her photos now ._.
See yaz bye XD

[hideki]

Well that's one down.

LOL I wonder who those gangster rappers are. I seriously refuse to believe those are the members of the band(no offense, loserbait, I trust you) unless there is some contract that says so.

[hollowman]

the youtube video where i got reference from mentioned that the 2 rappers are korean artists? Don't know how true.

i noticed that Parfait has a female member is it? The female VK drummer looks female, i can't figure out...any coincidence?

yeah, no offence Loserbait.

thanks =Surreal=, nice pics, hahahaha

update =Surreal=: ya the female in yellow is Natsuko Tatsumi
