i want to create a band when I’m older.
I think my concept would be " To express feelings that cannot be explained with words " or something corny like that.
But I have no idea what I should name my band.
My inspiration are - Kebyo, gulu gulu, Mejibray, Plastic Tree, Moi dix Mois, and Kaneto Juusei.
Would anyone mind helping me create a band name? I want it to be Japanese but I don’t know Japanese.

The word you are looking for is ‘ineffable’.
I’ve never heard of this word before and I just searched up the definition and that’s exactly what I want to show when I compose music.
I’m not sure if I’m wording it right though since its and adjective.
What instrument do you play?
I’m currently trying to teach myself guitar
The word ‘ineffable’ translated into Japanese is roughly 言い表せない (iiwarasenai). I personally think ineffability sounds better and opens up potential for wordplay.
I’d focus on learning the guitar and understanding music theory basics so you can create whatever you hear in your head, and then worry about making the band later.

Cool thanks alot for your help!
Pretty much what Zeus said, concentrate on learning guitar and music basics first. If you finally get to make a band, it will probably also depend on your future band mates under what bandname you want to go.
For now it’s not an kins of priority

I agree, first you have to be able to produce something. Otherwise, your band will just be a plan/concept rather than an actual band.
I also like the idea of picking up music again after university, but I’d have to get back into music theory and training my hearing. I was working on making MIDI’s/sheetmusic of other VK songs by ear, but I haven’t done that since 2021 or so…
Besides, you will need a team to make a band, so take your time to build yourself and your contacts first. I have been in a “concept” band back in 2020 or so that I never heard anything from in the end. I was kicked out for “not being serious enough”, which I didn’t fully agree with, but decided not to fight over. Pick your people critically, don’t let anyone try to abuse you for their own personal gains.
The idea of wanting to become a professional musician is amazing, and I definitely support you in that. Just keep in mind that it will not be easy, and you might not succeed the first time.

Focus on finding your sound and perfecting your craft with an instrument first. Like @Bunny-Usagii said, otherwise itll just stay a concept.
If you need guitar pointers, this is a great place to start here:
