This Japanese instrumental rock band appears to fail WP:N and WP:BAND. Source searching in GNews archives and GBooks has only yielded this source, which appears to be primarily a commercial website for selling concert tickets. This source in the article is a blog, and is not qualified as a reliable source. Northamerica1000(talk) 05:35, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. They've also toured the U.S. a couple times with Mike Watt and also toured the UK. That, plus the charting should meet WP:BAND, although there's not a lot of reliable sources to write an article around. Woodroar (talk) 09:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - as they've charted on Oricon, they're automatically notable per WP:BAND. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:52, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
