so my friend and I are starting a band, uh we currently only have me on guitar and my friend on bass (just like how Lunacy started out with, Ino guitar and J bass!!)...
anyways, we'll be doing JRock covers and we'll write some of our own stuff....
one thing we need though
We want to look as visual as possible while not driving it way too far that people go "wtf" at us (part of the reason i wish i m in japan, i can go as visual as i want... but NO, here in USA i have to tone down...), anyways, where can we get costumes and any suggestions on visual styles for us?

haahaa join the band-making club. So far my band FioniXio has only two members, myself on Vocals (and guitar when I eventually learn) and my friend on Bass (we're like the white stripes only not...)
As for styles that's something you guys need to develop as a band. FioniXio is Jrock, Gothic Lolita and Nintendo games fuzed into one band (so far)
Once you do get your band in order I'm going to make a "Visual Kei basses rock" section of the site for all bands that have been influenced by Visual kei ^^

as far as our music concerned, early Luna Sea/art of life era X Japan kind of visual-kei is our style, but then u know what i mean, we simply cant look like that in the USA for now...

I think it's great that you want to do something like that ^ ^
Just remember to give it your own style. I've always had the opinion that Visual Kei was only a style for the Asian guys. It's kind of their own thing, but again that's my opinion.
Good luck
