If you're looking for bands to listen to, go here:

CureMedia U.S.A - PURE J-ROCK

and click on "Listen Live".

Also, if you're in the US, the US iTunes store has been getting some Visual Kei bands, and practically all of Matenrou Opera and DELUHI's music is on there for a reasonable *understatement* price. There's also D'espairsRay, Girugamesh, Phantasmagoria, DuelJewel, Versailles, Vidoll.... I don't listen to all of those(I already posted the ones I like the most), but I just thought I'd mention that they are available at the US iTunes store, and there are other bands I didn't mention.

*EDIT: Ok, so the site I put STILL works, but they have another one, and it's the one they will be using from now on, so here it is:

CureMedia - Visual Kei J-Rock One-stop Site

Yes, they are.
The only reason They could not be called PUFFY in america is because Puff Diddy's
name is to close to Puffy and they didn't want to confuse anyone
so they chose HiHiPuffy Aumi Yumi instead!
