Distro - Coz Play in Japan. 2000 

Martin Parr 

Japanese youth culture has previously been known for adapting western cults to an Asian following. In recent years, a new trend of 'visual bands' has become popular among younger generations. These Japanese bands, with names such as 'Glay', 'Malice Mizer', 'Luna Sea' and 'Shiina Lingo', have radical characteristics interpreted through their appearance as well as their music.

This is an opportunity for them to dress up in the most elaborate costumes and has been known as 'sokai' or 'coz play'....
