Visual Kei Jrock Band/Guest Suggestions?
« on: September 15, 2010, 01:26:16 am »
I am so happy to say that my first ever concert was at NDK 2010 when I got to see Echostream live. So I was wondering if NDK plans on having more concerts in the NDK's to come. If so I was wondering if I could make some band suggestions. There are a couple visual kei jrock bands that I would like to suggest, that I think would be great for the convention. There are also some individuals I would like to suggest as well. Like Kanon...the bassist from the former band An Cafe (also known as Antic Cafe and Antique Cafe). I noticed that he went to Otakon 2010 in Baltimore in July and I just thought it would have been awesome if he came to NDK 2010 as well.

Anywho...I was just wondering if I could make some suggestions in this section of the forums. And I completely understand if none of my suggestions work out since I know most of the bands are probably busy. But hey...doesn't hurt to ask :)

Aoi of the Gazette has been trying to find someone to invite his band over for ages. :D

(And I'd love to finally meet him face to face.)

OMGAH...I LOVE THE GAZETTE AND AOI. Sorry for the caps...but I really do. The GazettE is one of my favorite bands in the entire world lol. I was actually going to suggest them. I have a couple more suggestions though. Like D'espairsRay (they are touring the states right now), 12012 (they are actually going to be at Anime USA this November), SuG, and 176Biz. Those are just a few bands that I know shouldn't be tooooo busy lol. I mean I would also love to see Alice Nine (my all time favorite band hands down...and also my first visual kei band), Screw, Kra or Kagrra.

But Aoi from the GazettE is an amazing suggestion. Kudos!

Yeah, I'm certainly not in any way involved with guests, but... I know that Aoi has said multiple times that he'd love to come and play stateside.

And he'd kill to take part in a Blazblue tourney. :D

Well then...who should we talk to about requesting him. I am pretty sure it might happen. The reason I started this topic is because I have no idea who to contact about guest request. I think Aoi of The GazettE...or even the entire band if possible would be freaking awesome. Also I know there are a lot of GazettE fans in the states.

You've created a thread; that's as far as you need to take it. We keep track of threads and other requests and we'll take this into consideration when sending out guest invites for next year.

(Yes, I deleted the previous branch of the conversation. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but that was getting out of hand.)

To add to what Mr. Hines has said,  we always take suggestions to heart, so if there are bands that you would be interested in seeing, please do make those suggestions.  However, I'm sure you understand that there are sometimes problems with bringing in the guests that you guys want to see.  A lot of Guests frequent a lot of other conventions and our schedules don't always line up in a way that they can make it.  

I'm extreamly excited to hear that you guys enjoyed the bands that we brought in this year, and we as NDK staff will continue to do everything in our power to make sure you enjoy the Guests we bring in the Future. :)

I'd love to see Versailles (Philharmonic Quintet) but they do such an extravagant live show, I don't know if we'd be a big enough venue for them XD
