replies: text: I have put in a section on their uniqueness, hopefully satisfying notability. However, I am still working on the article. Kat, Queen of Typos 07:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Again, they are notable for being unique in using holograms as their only "face" and using unnamed musicians. Kat, Queen of Typos 07:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article creation

message: I guess my point is that where before in history have you seen a band and not known how many musicians were in it, or even what instruments they play, let alone their names or faces? They are only represented by a fictional character. I don't understand how that could not be notable. I respectfully request a chance at more Wikipedians discussing this, whether through a full AFD discussion or whatever. Kat, Queen of Typos 08:15, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Genki Rockets is not a band, it is a musical/visual project (similar to the Gorillaz). GR's "live" shows are similar to a DJ performance: the tracks are pre-recorded/mixed and are accompanied by visuals of Lumi performing on large projection screens. The DJ spinning the tracks is usually visible at the shows, but wears a costume to conceal his/her identity. It is most probable that not only do Mizuguchi and Tamai write the songs (for which they are credited), but also record the songs as well. As they are dance/electronica tracks, it's very likely that the songs are created using synthesizers and computer software, with Rhodes and Miyahara providing the vocals. There is no band, and the article really needs to be re-structured to reflect the fact. Here is a YT video of a GR live show, just to give an idea of what the "band" actually is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvD09E3-D5I ~Zargabaath 12:20, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Live Earth Performance

message: This band played in YouTube Live on the Japanese YouTube site and had an 8 minute video. I have taken the liberty of putting the section in and linking to the actual video where they played the song, and added a short description on how it is different from other concerts. It would be appreciated to add onto it if you have anymore insight to this event, saw something new, or thought I missed something. Thank you.  --Link740 (talk) 12:30, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is important to note: there is no band, but rather a DJ spinning the tracks. ~Zargabaath 12:34, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: YouTube Live Tokyo Performance

message: Can I take a screenshot of a Genki Rockets live performance from youtube and upload that as the infobox pic? --FlamingCobra (talk) 15:20, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no band to take a picture of. The music is "performed" by a DJ spinning the tracks, and Lumi "singing" via large LED projection screens. I have attended two of GR's live shows, however, none of my photos would be particularly useable in this instance. A screencap from YT might be useful. ~Zargabaath 12:45, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
