Visual kei band Umbrella – Anime North 2015

Umbrella (アンブレラ) is a visual kei band from Osaka, Japan.  The four-member group were special guests at Anime North 2015 in Toronto, where they participated in a fashion show with UchuSentai:Noiz.  Umbrella last appeared at Anime North two years ago and stated in a promotional video that they wished to return because of their love for poutine (never mind the fact that the dish – fries soaked in gravy and topped with cheese curds – hails from Quebec).
