Hey guys :) How are you?
On the last post I mentioned Kanon, from An Cafe, and now I'll write about them because I like the band. Actually, it was the first VK band I knew *-*
Antic Cafe (アンティック-珈琲店-, nicknamed An Cafe) is an Oshare Kei* band formed in 2003, but now they describe themselves as "Harajuku dance rock". On September 1, 2009, the band announced that after their live on January 4, 2010, at the Nippon Budokan, they would put the group on a hiatus, however they have stated they won't be disbanding. (why do goods bands stop? ;-;)
The band was formed in May 2003 by Miku (vocal), Bou (guitar) and Kanon (bass). Miku's former band, Revirii, had disbanded two months earlier, and even without a drummer, they started to perform at several events. They were later joined by Teruki after he left his former band, Feathers-Blue.
In 2007, Bou's departure announced the band's first overseas appearance at Project A-Kon. The last performance with Bou was on April 30, 2007 and, after Bou left the band, Takuya replaced Bou as the guitarist and Yu-ki joined An Cafe as a keyboardist. The first single with their new lineup was"Kakusei Heroism" At the end of 2007, An Cafe announced their first overseas tour in 2008 (they went to Europe).
In 2010, An Cafe announced that they will be taking a break from activities.The message on their official homepage says that "after the Budokan show, each member will concentrate on their own activity to be prepared for the band to restart in the future."
Meanwhile, several members are now involved in other projects. Kanon is heading a mobile phone game called Pinky☆Distortion, which was released in July 2010 and he'll be a guest at Otakon 2010 as a panelist and a guest DJ, as well as pairing up with Kanon Wakeshima to form kanonxkanon. Miku is serving as the vocalist for the new visual-kei band, Lc5, which started in June 2010 and Teruki is playing as a support drummer for the band DOG in the parallel world orchestra.

*Oshare Kei is a subgenre on VK, with happy lyrics, lots of colors and not so much makeup :B (sorry, I didn't find a good definition '-' but I think it's basically this ^-^)
