Western bands that sound like Japanese Visual-kei?

I’ve always thought that Western and Japanese rock sound completely distinct. Western ones sound more serious to me; Japanese ones sound more theatrical, fun, colorful, energetic, varying instruments etc. I now wonder if there are Western bands that also sound like this.

Some songs for example:

Kubiwa Kyouki no Susume - Gulu Gulu

Urei Libido - Dadaroma

スキマ産業狙イ撃チ!- SEX ANDROID

Mazarenai - XAAXAA

赤いショートケーキ - Sick^2

DOGMA - The Gazette

Their album names are:

  1. ENIACMANIAC:

• Eniac (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first programmable, electronic, general purpose digital computer.

• Maniac (Mathematical Analyzer, Numerical Integrator, and Computer) was a later computer which could store programs in memory. It was also the first computer to defeat a human in a chess-like game.

  1. Radioyerevan: Radio Yerevan is a Soviet Era joke. It is a fictional radio station that answers questions in a clever and ironic way to show how absurd and contradictory official propaganda was.

  2. Lagrange Point: It is a place in space where the gravity of two large masses balance out, so an object can stay put. Fpr example the James Webb Space Telescope also orbits the Sun at a Lagrange Point.

Is it like an aesthetic? Are they just a bunch of nerds? :D
