Aldious are good, Band Maid are very good, Mary’s Blood are great. All that IMNSHO of course. I saw The Lovebites live at Tower Records in Shibuya recently. Good stuff there too. Seeing young women in pretty white dresses with fancy hair and makeup rock as hard as Slayer for 40 minutes straight was different for sure. They lacked some stage energy (the two guitarists just stayed glued in place on opposite sides of the stage but the bass player was mobile and headbanging (again in her pretty white dress & matching shoes)) but they are a very new band so they can improve there. Going to try and see Band Maid soon. My wife pointed out that their visuals owe more to the Gothic Lolita thing than anything else. FYI their website has a link to their webshop which is English friendly.
Love the bass in this one!
