vellaDonna was a visual kei band. They were part of the kote kei subgenre. They were active from 1997 to 2001 and are now disbanded.
They have been active on and off again since 2014, always with VEN (ROSENFELD, 風里銃) as a support drummer, as far as I know... I guess adding him as a support member and leaving the final line-up as the trio GOMA-SEEK-TAKO would make the page more complete, but I don't know how folks feel about messing with old-school band data in these revival situations.
Here's a flyer from 2017:
