From generasia

Left to Right: Jun, Shouta, KOJI
ALvino (アルヴイノ) is a three piece Japanese rock band that formed sometime in 2006. The group was formed by two members of well known visual-kei bands, KOJI (ex-La'cryma Christi) and Jun (ex-PIERROT). The duo acquired Shouta (ex-NIOI) for vocals and later released their debut single "snow line" on December 13th.

Biography
Before KOJI and Jun asked Shouta to join the band, in 2005 they had asked Kaya (ex-Schwarz Stein) to be ALvino's vocalist. Kaya didn't join the group because of musical differences.[1]
The name "ALvino" is a term coined by the members, and stands for ALchemy (AL) vision (vi) normal (no). Thus the band is also known as ALvino ~ALchemy vision normal~.
