 In the middle of April, Jing Wen ¡§How Jiao Records¡¨ (scream records) singed up Bei Jing, and also China¡¦s very first true to the meaning ¡§Visual Rock Visual Kei¡¨ rock and roll band ¡V ¡§Silver Ash¡¨. Suddenly sending shockwaves throughout the music industry.

 According to ¡§How Jiao Records¡¨s¡¦ recording schedule, SA¡¦s first album will begin production in September. At the same time they will also be redesigning their style, and set to begin photo shoots for the newly designed styles in June 10th. Because the dazzling outer appearance of Visual kei is essential, to quote them ¡§the main theme of the costume design is: glamorous/surreal/full of exaggerations of the human body curves/extremes, full of visual shock's stage elements and also judgment of beauty from eastern culture, at the same time brining in traces of the signatures of the contemporary era.¡¨

 This afternoon 16:00 ¡§Silver Ash¡¨ members and their makeup artist Miki came to ¡§Lover Photo Building¡¨ photo studio situated in Pan Jia Yun. Soon after, Scream Record¡¦s Lu Bo, photographer Zhang Yang and also Wang Wa¡¦s (Web Frog, I think this is a web site, this article is actually taken from Web Frog and posted on Scream record¡¦s site) reporter also arrived at the scene. Miki and the other makeup artist Shan Shan had already finished Hong¡¦s facial makeup. This one meter and 85 centimeters tall 22 years old bassist¡¦s face had a very heavy powdered foundation, blue black curved eye lashes, blue contact lenses, as a whole, it is a big contrast to the sad yet beautiful look from earlier, while they were doing his hair, Lu Bo explained, the skin care/powder foundation/ lip sticks and hair decorations used here were all ordered by Miki from France for the members, just the set of professional oil based foundation cost a sizable sum, from this one can see that ¡§How Jiao Records¡¨(Scream Records) values the band a lot. The finished Hong, blond hair full of black feathers (black feather is one of their main theme for their current style) and the dazzling hair decorations, with a thin black gauze/net, plus a shoulder revealing black fake leather vest, mysterious and alluring!

 Due to the fact that the finished Hong walking around in the waiting room attracted too many pedestrians to stop and look, (perhaps they felt how could this tall model with such strange styles be real and could ¡§move¡¨) they arranged Hong to go into the shooting studio first to take pictures. The makeup artists begin to put makeup on SA¡¦s cute little guy Lucy. The guitarist¡¦s style for this time is: blue hair, blue eyes, blue eyelashes, a white gown, with a pair of angel¡¦s wings on the back, just too beautiful, too cute, a pair of innocent yet bratty ¡§devilish¡¨ eyes, capable of moving all those who sees them, forcing everyone to yell ¡§Clean up¡¨! (I have no clue why they put this in, doesn¡¦t really make a lot of sense to me, so can¡¦t really tell you want this means) The next one is the drummer Mr. Zhen¡¦s (that¡¦s how they called him among the members) style. Zhen¡¦s makeup is more ¡§manly¡¨, copper red hair blown to bend in all directions, looked as if they were in motion, but in reality just standing still, the makeup was also ¡§light¡¨, mainly to emphasis one word, ¡§Cool¡¨! He, with his black leather pants and black skin tight long coat, and the white gowned ¡§little angel¡¨ Lucy also entered the shooting studio.

 The last one to arrive is the leader, also the vocalist Ling, is also the last to put on makeup, it seems unfair, but he is the leader! A lot of things he had to take care of personally, like the cloth¡¦s materials, the selection of decorations and contacts with others were also his soul responsibility, this time he was late because he was shopping for some decorations that will be fitting for the new styles. His hair was light purple, eye shadows was also purple, fingernail was also purple, a very dreamy color. In the very beginning, Miki combed his hair into a tall hairstyle, he, being a perfectionist, was not satisfied, so they did it all over again and went for that wind blown ¡§to the side¡¨ style. This strange and yet crafty style is very fitting for him! Ling also knows very well how to pose, an absolute film killer, the various poses that he came up with made the photographer did not even get a chance to rest his eyes.

 When the four began to shoot groups shots it was already 2 o¡¦clock in the morning. After a series of various poses and stand combinations (including lots of Hong, Zhen, Ling and Lucy¡¦s ¡§intimate shots¡¨), they shot close to five rolls of film with different flavors to them. From this, the members learned what¡¦s the best angle, the best makeup style, the pictures from this shoot will be featured in the band¡¦s later solo feature (like a photo book). Finally ¡§Silver Ash¡¨ members and their ¡§Producer Lu (Lu Bo)¡¨ took a photo together as a souvenir picture.

 Let us also wait for this ¡§Visual Kei¡¨ to soon face everyone. Please continue to pay attention to Wang Wa¡¦s various reports and Scream Record¡¦s main page. (article/ Wang Wa fufu)
