Here's his bio:

Dissident Genro sprung to life in March 2008 as the world’s first Scottish Kei solo artist. Rimu is the brainchild behind Dissident Genro, armed only with one laptop and his trusty guitar.

"I want to marry my Eastern and Western influences and create something completely orignal…” Rimu says. “Like the unique and wonderful visuals many Visual Kei bands wow their audiences with today, I want to do the same, but fly the flag for the west, which had not been done before in this genre. With Dissident Genro, I’m expressing every part of myself – musically, visually and culturally."

Londons Orbital Comics, Manga, Designer Toys

London's Orbital Comics has really started competing...expanding ever so fast this year with the opening of Orbital Manga and now Orbital Designer Toys.

Orbital Comics first opened its doors in 2001 in Old Compton Street. Some will remember it by it's huge Spiderman artistically drawn on the wall next to Orbital Comics basement door. In 2004 Orbital Comics moved to Charing Cross Road...still a basement shop but way bigger than the original and stocking much much more...from back issues, art books, graphic novels, independently published comics - and the staff who work there are experts in the comic field!

Orbital Comics
Probably the Best Comic Shop in London!!! Orbital Comics has a full range of mostly american comics from the 1940's onwards. It specializes in back issues but has all the recent comics, graphic novels and related mechandise as well as tons of independently published comics!

Orbital Manga
Orbital Manga has the most comprehensive selection of manga in london and also stocks exclusive toys from Japan, with plenty of pleasingly faithful replicas of favourite characters.Orbital Manga is both great for a lengthy browse or hefty re-stock.

Orbital Designer Toys - East meets West for Designer Toys
A collectors haven for Designer Toys! Orbital Designer Toys specialize in unique, rare and collectible products. Many products feature unique collaborations with different artists and pop designers. Each designer may choose to create a series of only a few hundred pieces (or less) so many toys that are stocked are limited edition or exclusive to Hong Kong and Japan.
