I can't really find any reliable sourcing on this band at all. The only thing I've been able to find on them was a trivial name drop in a BBC article [1], and searches don't turn up a thing remotely reliable other than that: [2], [3] (always telling when the Wikipedia article is the top result), [4]. The article also has a significantly promotional tone ("musical gems", "extremely talented", saying other bands were "less talented" with no sourcing to back that, etc.) With sources to work from, that might be fixable, but the sources aren't there.

Delete. I can find no in-depth coverage for this band; appears to fail WP:BAND. Gongshow ^Talk 22:11, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. My search of other news sources also revealed nothing significant. Cbl62 (talk) 01:55, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing WP:BAND - no national tours, no radio hits, etc. Also, they are difficult to verify for lack of sources. Bearian (talk) 05:28, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: When an undeletion was requested, one of the reasons used was that the band had a cult following in Japan, but I was unable to turn up anything in Japanese mentioning them at all. Nick Wilson (talk) 20:17, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
