I agree! And for some reason, I have this feeling that it'll really be concentrated on J-rock, particularly some VK.... or maybe not.

The chance of AKFG coming over to the US is probably fairly good, but it would be a lot greater if people buy their domestic releases through Tofu Records to actually show that people want them here. They're a really popular band, and so if their label is going to invest money into bringing them over, there needs to be solid evidence in CD sales in the states to show that there will be support.
But as for them coming to MusicFest, I'm not so optimistic. Because AKFG is pretty damn popular, I really see AKFG playing somewhere like Otakon because they'll be gauranteed an audience of at least 10,000. Unless there's somehow a venue in San Jose within walking distance from the convention center that can hold much more than 3,000 folks for MusicFest (or an orderly shuttle service thing that can escort lots of people to said venue), I don't really know if their record label will be willing to spend the money to send them to Fanime to play for a relatively small crowd if they can go somewhere else where they'll have 10,000 come see them. In the end, it all comes down to money and who'll be willing to foot the bill for a band like AKFG. I would absolutely LOVE it if they could come to Fanime though, but because of how popular they are, I'm not sure if their record label would make that financial risk for MusicFest. They'd probably focus on Otakon or AX. In the end, whoever has the money will make the choices.
That said and done, I still hope they come and play for MusicFest LOL :) It's just the logical part of my brain isn't too optimistic. And I think too much of why they wouldn't come so I don't get disappointed LOL.
UVERworld is awesome :) I like the stuff that I've heard from them so far, and yes, Takuya is a pretty good looking vocalist. He's really got an amazing voice. However, they are a relatively new band in the mainstream, and I can imagine them trying to establish not only a solid fanbase within Japan first, but also a distinctive sound that can separate them from everyone else. I mean, they've only really got one single out, and their 2nd single isn't out for another 3 weeks. But I agree that It definitely would be awesome if we could get them come for MusicFest! From their tv appearances, they seem like a band that'll be fun to watch as well as hear.
Has anyone suggested HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR yet? I think they'd be cool to see too LOL. They're also relatively new in the mainstream, and could probably be in the same position as UVERworld as far as establishing themselves, but they've got a lot more material out xD
