Who even is Fatima?
Fatima was a Tokyo-based visual kei band that was active from 1998 to 2005. They had a unique sound and style that made them quite hard to pin down to any one sub-category, and that's why many fans, including myself, loved them so much. They were always true to themselves and their own vision of what they wanted to do.
Fatima's final line-up was Kanoma (vo.), Lay (ba.), Mizuha (gt.), 4ge (gt.) and Towa (dr), but the band also was a previous band for Kagerou's Daisuke and Alice Nine's Nao, as well as lesser known, but also a previous band for Zen (Vanilla, OTOGADEAD).

Why a fansite for a long disbanded band?
Fatima may have disbanded in 2005, but plenty of people still love them even now. Their music is always finding new fans even now; their music will never die. Earlier this year I realised that the other English Fatima fansites were now gone, as well as Fatima's OHP, so I thought that maybe I would put up what I can to share my love for this band to the world. I originally put all that I had on the band on visualONGAKU's renewal site, but I figured that I had enough information and desire to specifically make a site for just them.
I doubt the site can be as impressive as nakigoe was when it was still up, but perhaps I can at least try to preserve some of the information from there with my own translations and such over time.
Someone has to keep the band's legacy alive overseas, right?
