White Kei is commonly associated with
Soft Kei, because of the light nature of the styles. Emerging in the 1990's and continuing into the early 2000's, Soft Kei is a widely debated topic, as to its place in the Visual System. Often thought of as a mainstream phenomenon, Soft Kei music has a strong melody focus in its sound and an airiness overall. Characterized by simple clothes and simple or no make-up, Soft Kei is in strong contrast to more elaborate and darker appearances. Of course, Soft Kei is not entirely white, but is always simple in style and true to sound.
Bands that are considered to be part of this genre include L'Arc ~ en ~ Ciel, Glay, Luna Sea, SIAM SHADE, SOPHIA Janne Da Arc, and Sid.

Rain
By: Glay
I wander, dirty in the downpour
Hugging my dreams to my heart
Ah, let my memories break cleanly...
I realise I’ve been carrying these tears inside me
I drop off to sleep and look up at the sky in my memories
Scattering a love that's now out of my reach
All I need's your light
Smile after the violent rain
Before my wet heart is torn apart
Can't you tell me now
Stop crying and tell me now
Can't you tell me about the lonely sadness that constantly adorns you?
Laying down out side
With a painfilled heart
Daybreak, gazing at the sky
The star shining, holds my memory
Apart, yet under the same sky
I can see your light
But, why can't my heart reach you
Why can't my love be with you
You just shine my solitary heart
Without saying anything
I embrace your light and memory
I try to immerse myself
In the eternity that was cut off in irritation
But just it just causes a constant loneliness
To stab at my body
All I need's your love
Sing in the violent rain
Of a love that was torn apart in the flow of time
Can't you stop the rain
Let your tears land on roses and make them grow
And forget the sorrow of the night that would not end...
I carry the tears I cried until yesterday inside me
And ask my midnight scars why I was born
Lost in a dream of a love that's now out of my reach
All I need's your light
Smile after the violent rain
Before my wet heart is torn apart
Can't you tell me now
Stop crying and tell me now
Can't you tell me about the lonely sadness that constantly adorns you?
All I need's your light wow...
Even if I entrust my body to the pouring rain
I still need your light wow...
Even though we hurt each other so much on those sleepless nights
Can't you tell me now
Stop crying and tell me now
Can't you tell me about the lonely sadness that constantly adorns you
All I need's your light wow...

Yume dake wo kokoro ni dakishimete
Doshaburi no ame no naka yogoreta mama de samayou
Ah omoide nara kirei ni kowarete
Ki ga tsukeba namida wo dakishimete
Madoromi ni kiete yuku kioku no sora wo miageru
Mou todokanai omoi wo chiribamenagara
All I need's your light
Hageshii ame no ato de waratte yo
Nureta kokoro ga hikisakareru mae ni
Can't you tell me now
Namida wo tomete ima katatte yo
Kazaritsuzuketa kodoku no kanashimi wo can't you tell me
Laying down outside
With a painfilled heart
Daybreak, gazing at the sky
The star shining, holds my memory
Apart, yet under the same sky
I can see your light
But, why can't my heart reach you
Why can't my love be with you
You just shine my solitary heart
Without saying anything
I embrace your light and memory
Iradachi ni togireta
Eien ni oborete mitemo
Tae kirenai kodoku dake ga
Karada wo tsukisashite
All I need's your love
Hageshii ame no naka de utatte yo
Toki no nagare ni hikisakareta ai wo
Can't you stop the rain
Namida ni nureta bara wo sakasete yo
Owaranai yoru ni kanjita kanashimi wo wasurete...
Kinou made no namida wo dakishimete
Mayonaka no kizuato ni umareta imi toikakeru
Mou todokanai omoi wo yume ni nurashite
All I need's your light
Hageshii ame no ato de waratte yo
Nureta kokoro ga hikisakareru mae ni
Can't you tell me now
Namida wo tomete ima katatte yo
Kazaritsuzuketa kodoku no kanashimi wo
All I need's your light wow...
Furisosogu ame ni kono mi wo makasetemo
I still need your light wow...
Nemurenai yoru ni kizu tsuke atta kedo
Can't you tell me now
Namida wo tomete ima katatte yo
Kazaritsuzuketa kodoku no kanashimi wo can't you tell me
All I need's your light wow...
