Musical Guest Ideas?

[rikuness]

Hello~! This is my first time posting, so I hope I'm not breaking any rules or anything. ^^"

I was just wondering what kind of ideas people have for musical guests! I noticed there aren't many musical guests yet so a post to discuss them might be nice. ^^


For me, a particular band has caught my attention and I think they'd be a great guest at AR. That band is fade! They're a band with both American and Japanese members so their music is mostly in English, but has a slight Japanese influence as well which is why I think they'd be an excellent guest. Their official facebook page describes them perfectly (the description section): http://www.facebook.com/pages/fade_tokyo/270416539205?sk=info
Or just simply: "Blue eyed Samurai x Black eyed Cowboys = fade = "California Roll of Rock"" xD

They also sang the opening song for the Deadman Wonderland anime which you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II9mI-uPdso&feature=related

Recently, fade has performed at the Canadian Music Week in Toronto and the "East Meets West" Music Industry Charity Benefit Concert in New York City. I think they'd rock at AR! ^^



So what ideas do y'all have?

For the rave I'd love to see a japanese guest. Sharpnel was awesome at Sakuracon a few years back, m1dy would also be cool. Kid Whatever is from Oregon but I'd like to see him.

For more local stuff I always like seeing Darkest of the Hillside Thickets.

Singer Yohio has also caught my attention. He's a Swedish 16 year old boy but signed with Universal Music Japan and sings Japanese songs. On April 25 he's making his solo debut with his first album "REACH the SKY". ^^ Even though he's new and hasn't (for example) sung any songs for animes, he was first introduced to Japanese culture with anime at the age of 10 and from there he's joined a band called Seremedy and now has become a solo artist.
His style is Visual Rock (like Visual Kei but not as extreme I'm guessing), and his dressing style is similar to artists like Hizaki.
You can see his first MV here on his official Youtube channel~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INKCPOQL98c
I truly think he as some great potential and talent in him. ^^

I hope one these guys will be coming for the con

LIsa-Dead Girls Monster from Angel beats

Scandal from FMAB-shunkan sentimental and Bleach- shoujo S and harukaze

Back-On from tales series and airgear

Maybe Maon Kurosaki? Her music is quite versatile and spans across different styles (eg. hard edge rock, Jpop). Really liked her H.O.T.D CD containing all of the Highschool Of The Dead anime ED songs.

Back-On seems like they would be a fun band to have.

Because I feel the need to restate my love for ONE OK ROCK for the umpteenth time on here:

And because I recently found out that Taka (ONE OK ROCK's singer)'s little brother followed his older brother's footstep(s, literally almost every step)and went into the world of "Rock Band":

**Even more awesomeness is in the fact that ONE OK ROCK will be doing Rurouni Kenshin's movie's theme. I had a fangirl squeal attack upon seeing that news.

I don't mind seeing Mami Kawada & Olivia Lufkin at AR.

Does anyone know which anime they sang for?
