[Music Tip] Visual Bands on iTunes

Some Japanese labels are beginning to test the waters and expand their visual bands' albums into the global market. Today I will share a list of artists and albums that can be found on iTunes in the U.S. Many of these are new releases for 2017 that were released in the U.S. market concurrent with or shortly after the Japanese releases. Today's post will not include links to specific albums; however, I do recommend that if you have a favorite visual artist or band, you should check your local iTunes online to see if that band is available in your country. Be sure to check both the band name and the name of the album, single, or song you want. Sometimes iTunes does not have a proper spelling or catalog listing of the CD or artist, even though they are available through the online store. Checking both ensures you don't miss finding what you want.
