Moran

Super cool buncha guys. Went to their in-store event in Tokyo today, met them , got stuff signed, had some laughs. I had never met vocalist Hitomi before (aka Sanaka) but have liked him since 2000 when I saw Fatima. I brought out a photo of Hitomi/Sanaka I took from live 8 years ago and he laughed - he had long hair, in medical bandages, and looking super sexy!!! Nice to get that signed.​

I liked Fatima in 2000 and 2001 when Sanaka (Hitomi) had long hair and looked/dressed like a woman. I liked when he wore bandages around his body. I went to many of their lives in 2000 and 2001 and got some nice live pictures. Sanaka / Hitomi signed one of my Fatima live pictures at the in-store event.

I saw Moran live two weeks ago and they were excellent. I was REALLY surprised. They played, perfomed, and sounded more like a major band than an indies band. Their music is remarkably good; with solid well-written rhythms and a great beat that had fans going wild. Even I was impressed. . . and I am rarely impressed by most visual bands these days as I have been here for 10 years and seen more than 500 different bands. It was great to see a band (Moran) that truly does not sound or remind me of another band on the scene right now.​
