 * Keep. Appears to pass WP:MUSIC. Is "an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians." Has a #1 album (see this, which isn't a reliable source, if you can't read Japanese; or this if you read Japanese, which shows it was the #3 album for the month of June). Also, pretty much every band that participates in Summer Sonic is notable--only one redlinked band in the last five years. Dekimasu よ! 11:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - charted album = passes WP:MUSIC C2; #1 album = passes by a long shot. Some research appears to have not been done before nominating this. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:11, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Oricon Ranking ref Prior to July 29 2009, the article's validity was based on the "ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians." criterion of WP:MUSIC.
