So I'm just chillen and doing some sewing while listening to Luna Sea, as well as Blood. Anyone out there know of who they are? I know there are tons of new visual kei bands out there, but I have no idea who to investigate for new music to listen to. So who do you listen to and who do you like?

I love Luna Sea! Unfortunately I've been out of the Visual Kei loop for a few years and am not sure what the latest hot thing is, but some older acts that I also really enjoy are Kagrra & Lareine. Lareine is actually possible to find domestically, too.

Aliene Ma'riage is good if you want something more metal but still visual. Guniw Tools is cool if you want something more industrial, though their music is hit or miss for me. If you want something harder, the late great Guitar Wolf rocks beyond rock. I'd also like to plug Sawdust in Me, possibly the best band in the world right now, IMO! ^-^\m/ And if you're willing to look into mainstream JPop I think the Brilliant Green are good. There, that's a lot of variety. ^_^

The only link I have is for Sawdust, but google can help with the others ... www.sawdustinme.com
