     Hailing from Tokyo, Japan. Aural Vampire consists of two members Exo-Chika and      Raveman, they compose Electronica and Industrial music. Active since 2004, they released a self debut album called Vampire Ecstasy. Aural Vampire continue to do music and touring. It was recently announced that they will make a Musical guest appearance at Anime Central at Rosemont, Illinois in May 2010.

Check out their new album “Abingdon Road”,  its their second album and was released on Jan.27.  So far the new tracks I like are “Souen”, “Sweetest Coma Again” and “Shiosai”. Of course “JAP”, “Strength” and “From Dusk Till Dawn” were already in my iPod months ago.

Her latest single Wasurenai Yo (“I won’t forget”) is number 5 in Japan iTunes. The song is nice and she sings well in both English and Japanese. She is one quarter Trinidadian and three quarters Japanese. The video has a short movie-like clip so the song won’t actually start till after 2 minutes. The video is watchable but could get boring for some, but the song is nice.
