[Request] Artist inspired by Baroque?

[AyuHamasaki01]

Hi there


We are currently discussing the Baroque/Rococo era at school and I was wondering if you guys know artists who got inspired by the baroque/rococo style?

I'm happy with everything: Like a baroque inspired dress, a CM, a PV or a magazine scan etc. etc.
Oh and I prefer Japanese and Korean artists but if you know other Asian artist who got inspired by baroque, please share it!

So far I have:

Ayu's HAPPY ENDING performance @ Arena Tour 2005
Ayu's JEWEL performance (she wore that big pink dress with the hat).
Koda Kumi's Outside Fishbowl PV.

(Oh it can also be a "modern translation" of the baroque era)

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: btw I think I posted this in the wrong section xD (I'm so stupid).

Exactly what I was going to say! MALICE MIZER has a lot of baroque themed looks, PVs and live performances.

maybe Versailles, too?

I'll definitely check those out then.

But do you also know baroque themed PVs/live performances/CMs etc. of pop artists?
For example, Ayu's evolution performance from ASIA TOUR 2007 seems Baroque/Renaissance inspired and so does Koda Kumi's Outside Fishbowl PV.

Do you know more of those examples?

Hmm. Here's a list of videos and images off the top of my head with similar styles. Not exactly Rococo but similar.

Namie Amuro - Fast Car
Namie Amuro - Fast Car (Live) Starts at 1:40 or so.
Namie Amuro - make it happen ft after school This one is a very loose interpretation.
Namie Amuro - Vidal Sassoon CM

Gackt - Mizerable This one is a maybe.

Hitomi Shimatani - Destiny -Taiyou no Hana- This one is a huge stretch. The pendant and the ruffled red dress makes it come up. Probably more Victorian inspired than Rococo though.

Morning Musume - RAINBOW 7 album cover More Victorian but I just wanted to add it. lol.

That's all that I can think of immediately.

^Thank you sooo much!
I was also thinking about 'make it happen' . I also thought about Namie's FAST CAR but I wasn't really sure whether it was more baroque or lolita.
