seconded on SuG or abingdon boys school, that would be incredible ;w;

[xxBCfreakxx]

R指定 ( R - Shitei )

Or

MoNoLith

It would be absolutely amazing to see SuG though... They're amazing!

[obakasan]

Will make some personal suggestions:


Angela

Kotoko

Aya Hirano (Haruhi Suzumiya)

[xxBCfreakxx]

They're all awesome too!

[obakasan]

But then again, being on staff, I never have time to go to the concerts.... Waaaaaaaaaa!

[xxBCfreakxx]

I'm in with SuG, Alice Nine, and Monolith! Some of my favorite jrock bands but I also would probably throw in ViViD and Versailles for good measure. xD

[Voxx]

Maximum The Hormone

Alice Nine

The Pillows *Again* ^.^

[chainedbyroses]

BUCK-TICK would be pretty awesome, not gonna lie.
or D'erlanger.
Schwarz Stein isn't reforming anytime soon or I'd squeal mercilessly for that instead. :<

or we could ask Yoshiki to bring his X JAPAN crew; he /was/ saying on facebook he misses Chicago and all....

Non-band musical guests more on the line of composers would be along the lines of

- Koji Kondo / (Legend of Zelda)
- Junichi_Masuda (Yoshi; Pokemon/Game Freak, Inc.; Smash Bros. Brawl)
- Hitoshi Sakimoto & Masaharu Iwata (& Hayato Matsuo @XII!) / (Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy XII, basically most of anything Ivalice-related)

...or, my preferred favorite as a half-decade resident in Vana'diel (if you couldn't guess by the number of links):

- Naoshi Mizuta & Kumi Tanioka (aka "The Star Onions") / Final Fantasy XI
listen why:
1 [Sanctuary of Zi'Tah] /
2 ["Roar of the Battle Drums" (Campaign battle)] /
3 [Stargazing (Windurst_S theme)] /
4 [Altepa Desert] /
5 [Illusions in the Mist (Caedarva Mire)]) /
--> 6 [Awakening aka SHADOW LORD/Dynamis Xarcabard LISTEN TO THIS ONE KYAAAAAA]

A bajillion ideas are running aboot my head over this, so for now I'll keep it short and simple.~ :3

Updated musical suggestion (with guidelines) :

Band : SuG



A great band from Japan with a light and funny sound and a music concept of "heavy positive rock"
They are part of the Visual Kei movement of Japan. They released their first single "Scheat" in 2007, and months later came " Love Scream Party"
They were signed to the PonyCanyon label in 2009. And did the opening song for the anime "FairyTale" and the ending song for "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!"


They would be AMAZING for ACen 2013 because their music is creative, a lot of their music has a different sound and show difference in their talent and style which has proven to be amazing every time, and they are just all-around fantastic.
They would be a perfect musical guest for ACen Sweet 16

If it wasn't such a longshot I would ask for The GazettE... ;o; they are my super idols and the top of my top 5 bands.

All in order of my top 5 its:
The GazettE
SuG
ViViD
Versailles
Gackt

[chainedbyroses]

Adding/seconding OtakuAngelD's idea from this thread:

Yoshida Brothers!

OtakuAngelD, on 15 July 2012 - 02:45 PM, said:

I don't know how doable it is, but the Yoshida Brothers would be an amazing music act to have at ACen. Their music is played on a traditional Japanese instrument, the shamisen. Their music is a fusion of the rapid and percussive Tsugaru-jamisen style along with Western and other regional musical influences. In addition to performing songs that are only on the shamisen, they also use modern instruments such as drums and synthesizers. If you wish to see more of them, they have quite a few videos on YouTube. They've also got a international fan base and have CDs.

Their official Youtube Channel has a lot of their stuff up to get a sense of sound and style (no searching needed, woohoo!).
Alternately, you can listen to their official playlist HERE.

AND AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY ON ITUNES TOO GUYS. 8D

[~SuG~122]

SuG would be just.... Perfect >w<

[woozle]

Versailles, Anna Tsuchiya, and X Japan are groups I would love to see at ACen...The Slants, as well.

[technoBC]

Yes to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu <3

I haven't been into many other Jpop and/or Visual Kei bands/singers recently. Though The GazettE, Versailles, Gackt and An Cafe are all old favorites (that haven't been there recently and are still together ;-; ). Maximum the Hormone is also great, but I haven't listened to them in, like, 4 years.

[Chiaki0978]

I would love it sooo much if Dog in the PWO, AnCafe, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Kanon Wakeshima, Naitomea (Nightmare), Sadie, Plastic Tree, Girugamesh, Vistlip, BugLug, or Seremedy (Swedish VK) came!!!!!

Well, to simplify it, I really really really would like to see Dog in the PWO, AnCafe or Seremedy right now!!!!

[delta-spell]

There are a few my friends and I wanted to throw in. I've been elected to present our list so I'll do it here...

Here are the ones we all agreed we would really like to see:

Lin -the end of corruption world-
D
Miyavi
Acid Black Cherry
Breakerz
LM.C (Aware this is very unlikely bordering on impossible and almost pointless to include since they were just here but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't still put it in the list. We love them xD)

And these were suggestions from individual people within the group:

Royz
Ayabie
Gotcharocka
Called Plan
SuG
Mix Speaker's, Inc.
SID


Not even gonna include Gazette though we all like them a lot 'cause pretty sure that ain't gonna happen... it couldn't really 'cause if they came it would be less of a convention and more a pure fangirl riot... though to be fair for some of these others it could somewhat turn into that too xD

We're pretty sure we'll be making a return trip to ACen next year anyway, but if one of these showed up it would cement it for sure... not as much as having LM.C again would of course but... we'll give another band a chance this year. We still say invite them back sometime though

[acid-tea]

It would be SPECTACULAR to see Kyary Pamyu Pamyu perform!
