Discovered a brand new band named Vanish. They look great and the music and vocalist sound great too! To read more about them go to http://neumania.net/?p=7498
Neumania is a new website I've discovered (from twitter) that's great for finding out the latest japanese music-related news. Their news are more VK-inclined but include others as well. The posts are more detailed and photos somehow look better than http://shattered-tranquility.net/ which was my only source of VK news previously.
The band members are:
Vocals: MAY (Unknown)
Guitar: サヨ (Sayo)(ex.ANUBIS)
Guitar: kenny (ex.BRANCH)
Bass: re-ji (Unknown)
Drums: – クロ (Kuro)(ex.VelBet)
Preview of their song.

YUI (ユイ), Again
I first got to know about YUI from her theme song in Bleach, which was the anime that got me started on my Otaku path. I've totally forgotten about her til I watch the first episode of the new Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It totally captured my heart & I couldn't help but teared as I read the English lyrics and listened to her singing.
She is only 22 and has already been recording since 5 years ago! She's one admirable young lady. Want to know more about her? Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yui_%28singer%29.
Another reason why I love it so much is probably cause I've watched the first version and already know the story of Fullmetal Alchemist. It's a touching story where two boys tried to use alchemy to revive their dead mother. They were not only unsuccessful but also ended up sacrificing their physical body. Thus they started their journey to recover what was lost to them. They meet many wonderful characters and each has his own story which will be uncovered as the anime moves on. It's an anime that every anime lover should already have watched! It's that epic!

Such a beautiful song that's PERFECT for inspiring the Japanese athletics who will be taking part in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
MUST WATCH!

ScReW, My New Interest
Finally, a change for me. Also, a new VK band quest! A band that has caught many people's attention but I've failed to see it till now. This video is what made me fall in love with them (actually, the two guys at the beginning of the video), especially, Byou, the vocalist (the blond one).
The band's name is SCREW!
SCREW is signed by PSC (Peace Smile Company aka Free-Will), the company which is famous for signing indie bands that has the potential to make it big like. The GazettE, Alice Nine, Dir en grey just to name a few. Miyavi was also previously with PSC til he started his own production company.
Okay, back to SCREW. The vocalist, Byou, is kinda like Ruki (vocalist, the GazettE), and Kazuki (the brunette guitarist of Screw) may kinda fit the mould of Uruha (lead guitarist, the GazettE) but his character is more like Kai (drummer, the GazettE).
Anyway, what made me went even more crazy about Screw is that little BL (Boys Love) scene that was censored at the beginning of the video. Somehow, I can't help but feel that it was all planned by Kazuki from the start. Try to catch that evil look he had on his face seconds before he picked up the green tea latte.
Also, remember what I said about the qualities of the vocalist that make/break the band? This fellow, Byou, has it all! Plus sex appeal oozing out of him!!
He looked even more handsome when he's in street wear. He's totally different! Skip to 3:22 of the video to get a look at what I mean. If I was a Japanese school gal, I would love to have my boyfriend dressed like that. Love that lanky body in that particular outfit!
Enjoy this informal video of the SCREW boys! It even includes the part where they were recording in the studio!
This is like my favourite video right now!

HYDE, Another Acoustic
Another interesting video of HYDE. The vocalist who is part of L'Arc~en~Ciel(ラルク アン シエル) which actually is "The Rainbow" in French and also VAMPS which can mean either a guitar technique or short for vampires.
Part 1 video's audio isn't that clear but it shows behind the scenes clips.
Part 2 video can be heard clearly if you prefer to just listen to him sing.
I believe this is his solo's band members (includes Kaz).

Miyavi, Amazing Guitar Slapping
Miyavi's real name is Takamasa Ishihara(石原貴雅). He married this beautiful woman, Melody, and has a beautiful daughter now.
He's so great at guitar slapping that I can't help but to feature him again.
This is my favourite MV of him.
It's the most amazing guitar playing I've ever seen!

Aoi (GazettE), a Gentleman
Yes, just as I'm drifting away from Aoi, I'm falling all over for him again.
In the first few seconds of this video, he stopped Ruki and kind of led the way down the stairs. He even warned Ruki to watch the steps.
Isn't that so gentlemanly?!
