Few, but not none.

I'm somewhat of a visual kei fan so the idea of two things I like blending together makes me kind of excited. These are Ensemble Stars songs to which I'm aware are made by visual kei artists. If you're wondering if ALI PROJECT is visual kei.
Main
- Double Face - Nebula
- Made by Miya and Yukke of MUCC.
- Valkyrie - 魅惑劇 / Miwaku Geki
- Made by ALI PROJECT. There is also a version sung by Arika Takarano (ALI PROJECT's vocalist).
- Valkyrie - 聖少年遊戯 / Sei Shounen Yuugi
- Made by ALI PROJECT.
Honourable Mentions
- Valkyrie & AKATSUKI - 勇侠青春謳 / Yuukyou Seishunka
- ALI PROJECT Cover. Original song.
- Valkyrie - Acanthe
- Lyrics written by Kanon Wakeshima. She is not considered a visual kei artist, but she does have ties having been produced by Mana-sama so I'm including it.
Thoughts
Nebula is okay... I don't generally prefer DF's music, to be honest, but I can get behind this.
Edit 2026-07-06: LIES! I love Nebula now.
Sei Shounen Yuugi has a really strong start. This song makes me feel like I'm descending into madness, or something. Though, it does feel a bit repetitive sometimes. I like that this song is very different from the other Ex-Valkyrie song. Sei Shounen Yuugi also has a Masterpiece MV and the visuals are wonderful. Shu's voice is actually heavenly, thank you Hiroki Takahashi.
I absolutely adore Yuukyou Seishunka's MV. It mostly leans into AKATSUKI's wafuu but there are little elements that relate back to Valkyrie's European-influenced elements like the clothes and the rose design on the fan. (Edit: I've never seen Code Geass (of which Yuukyou Seishunka is an ED of). To my knowledge, this blend of culture in song and the original MV is intentional and relates to the series? which makes it all the more perfect for this collab). Both units are (canonically) very skilled and on the more serious side with their artistry so they pair very well. Part of me wishes they had the collab back when they still made original songs for unit collabs, but this is still really good. I am particularly obsessed with Shu's vocals, specifically his solo lines at 0:32 and 1:53 (of the video linked above), they just scratch by brain just right. I also really like Keito's voice, and Kuro's, and Souma's, and... This is just one of my favourite Enstars songs in general, so... It's just so perfect for me.
