I didn't see this posted here, so I thought I'd share the press release:
#####
Sacramento, CA - Kintoki-Con 2011 is proud to announce the debut musical performance of Moon Stream, the new musical unit of Satsuki (ex RENTRER EN SOI) and Tomo Asaha (echostream). Kintoki-Con is from June 18-19, 2011.
As the newest addition to Northern California conventions, Kintoki-Con is kicking off its first year with not only a performance by popular Japanese rock musicians, but exclusive industry-geared panels for attendees in addition to special events and autograph sessions with the band.
As ex-vocalist of popular visual kei rock band RENTRER EN SOI, Satsuki launched his solo career on Feb. 14, 2009 in order to pierce his own musical aesthetics. Satsuki has performed in America for piano concerts and anime conventions such as Anime Expo 2009, Anime Vegas 2009, and Oni-Con 2009. In addition to regularly headlining visual kei concert events in Japan, Satsuki has also performed in theater and is steadily expanding his range of activities. Since Sep. 1, Satsuki's musical themes have encompassed a fantastic world of white, an angelic clarity, and an ethereal feeling, as can be heard on his first mini-album release UPPER REGION.
Tomo Asaha began his musical career at the top of the visual kei music scene in Osaka, Japan, playing guitar for bands such as Voyage and NIL. After joining Unknown Frequency, an electronic rock band signed to GIZA Music, Tomo also began playing with artists such as Rina Aiuchi and Chocolate syrup. Unknown Frequency soon became what is now echostream, Tomo's current band based in New York. Tomo brought his vision to the United States with echostream, performing on tours and at conventions nationwide, and also as a New York underground musical force. Tomo has also performed on the Bonnie Hunt Show with Shahidah Omar. Echostream's album releases include Identity and The Duality of Courage, whose songs have been featured on the FX show Dirt.

Location: Campbell, but I'm moving to Oregon in March-ish next year. T T
Favorite Band: Satsuki(actually an artist... ex. RENTRER EN SOI) DELUHI, ALSDEAD, THE KIDDIE, BUCK-TICK, Dir en grey, HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR, Asian Kung Fu Generation ...etc @@;
Favorite Song: So so manyyy!!
How you got into Jrock: Well when I go into visual kei it was from reading a friend's post about Fanime and how An Cafe was there, and I started listening to random bands... or it could've been from listening to an anime radio that played GazettE, Merry and Dir en grey. @_@ ; Don't remember... >_<;
So ... anyways..I might be going to the X concert in Oakland next week. ^^ And I'm going to see VAMPS in October. It would be cool to see some of you there. It would also be cool to have a v-kei meet up!! Or something?!... Sometime....lol (・ω・)

| 2 tickets avaliable for first Miyavi show in San Francisco 5/18 |

Hi guys. Turns out I have 2 extra tickets for the first show in San Francisco and everyone I know who's going already has theirs. Anyone want to buy one or both? I'll charge you what I paid, $26, so you're getting a deal on not having to pay processing fees (Ticketmaster is evil). You could either pay me via Paypal or in cash on the day, whichever works best. I think this show is sold out so hopefully someone will want these. Thanks, and see everyone there!

But that god i started to pick up japanese magazines or I'd never have found my all time fave band GOLLBETTY
