Probably does the electronics or something. 
Either that, or his job is to manipulate fans and bandmen so Noah doesn't have to lol

Current GazettE. They literally sound like the whitest vkei band I've ever heard. I come to Japanese music because I want to hear something other than stereotypical American Metalcore. 
However, 2002 to 2010 gazette is much more enjoyable. Especially their 2002 to 2006 era.
 
Most of the wafuukei bands in the scene right now. I normally love traditional Japanese aesthetics, but most of the ones trying to do it now sound just like every other Vkei band but with bad Koto and Shakuhachi samples. I think if you're gonna do it, at least include some Japanese music theory or traditional Japanese vocals. 
Basically, I ain't saying you got to, but try being Kiryu, Guruguru Eigakan, Memento Mori, or Kagrra.
 
Not really a band, but the newer Dir en Grey fanbase that came in because of Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero who think it's cool to hate on Vkei and say shit like "Wow, early Dir en Grey sucks and so does all of Visual Kei just because they wear makeup"

Oof... Tsubasa isn't good at keeping a band I guess

Tsubasa from Narcolepsy and Teketeke formed a new band. They've been around for a few weeks I think (or even months). They're called Sunawachi Sei

Oh, also, I noticed Garden also has a lot of influence from "Under..." by Kuroyume. 
Hell, that song could probably be considered one of the most influential songs of 90's Visual Kei

Kaoru's first band, DIE:STERIA, was a cover band in high school that played X Japan, Kamaitachi, Zi:Kill and Boowy songs.
I think Shinya also said that Zi:Kill really influenced his drumming style.
The entire name of Dir en Grey was taken from a Lareine song called Dir en Gray (Supposedly, Kamijo told them to use the name), which in turn, was taken from a band from the early 90's called Dir&Gray, an obscure band whose vocalist would later sing for Kneuklid Romance, and whose guitarist would be a roadie for Zi:Kill.
 
Personally, I don't think any of these are plagiarism, knowing the Visual Kei scene. It's more acceptable in the Vkei scene to do covers of songs like that, than it is in other music scenes. I think of it like sampling in old school Hip Hop.

Nice analysis of vk music you've got there!
 
I've recently started to write down some ideas I've had about the genre, putting them togheter and starting to make conclusions about it's story and development as a whole scene.
 
Would you like to share your thoughts with me?

I am pretty well rounded for the most part, though I'd consider myself a little more moralistic than nihilistic and a little less Hedonistic and more Asceticistic. Though, a lot of the questions were a bit too black-and-white lol
 

I find it funny how the vocalist looks NOTHING like he did in the pictures.
If you're gonna go out of your way to look like Mei, you might as well commit to it

Holy shit I sure hope this is Mei. 

I THINK THAT'S KARASUNA MEI,THE GREY HAIR,THE OUTFIT,THE PIERCINGS,NO SHOES (i kinda recognize his feet)
also that trailer reminds me the kuroyuri aesthetics and the samples used in the memento mori gigs
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG DGAHDGSDHGSFDGSHGAS @karai · ebi  @AimiGen7

The only explanation for the name is they tried typing it on a touch screen and went with it. 

Tsukasa has clarified that they're called "Sunawachi Saga." and they will distribute their first CD, "哀色にエンドロール" (Aiiro no ENDROLL) (preview is in Yukami's post) starting at their first live on December 9.
